"Patriarch, do you have a way to get rid of surveillance?" asked the Great Elder, Uchiha Setsuna, his eyes filled with expectation.
"Yes," Uchiha Fugaku replied with a firm nod. "I do have a way, but it can only help a small number of people evade surveillance."
"Even if it's just a small number, it's enough to strike back at the Shimura family," said the Second Elder, Uchiha Shou, leaning forward with interest. "What's the clan leader's method?"
"Everyone, come out," Fugaku ordered, turning his gaze to an empty spot in the room.
To the surprise of the assembled Uchiha leaders, five figures slowly emerged from the ground. The figures were identical in every detail—each one a perfect copy of Uchiha Fugaku.
The elders and elite jōnin present exchanged puzzled glances. These figures clearly resembled shadow clones, but what could Fugaku's clones possibly have to do with escaping surveillance?
"Chief, these are your shadow clones. Are you planning to use them to bypass the Anbu's surveillance?" asked Uchiha Shou, his brow furrowing in doubt.
It was difficult to imagine ordinary shadow clones fooling Konoha's Anbu. After all, the Anbu could verify identities through scent, chakra signatures, and other means.
"These are not ordinary clones," Fugaku clarified. "These clones are capable of performing a unique ninjutsu called the Jutsu of Disguise. This technique allows them to perfectly mimic another person's appearance, scent, and even chakra fluctuations."
His statement sparked murmurs among the group. Could such a perfect ninjutsu truly exist?
"You'll see its effectiveness for yourselves," Fugaku said confidently. He gestured for one of the spore clones to approach Uchiha Atsuko.
The clone extended a hand and lightly touched Atsuko, instantly copying her scent and chakra signature. With a fluid transformation, the clone's body shrank to match Atsuko's stature, and its appearance shifted until it was indistinguishable from the original.
The room fell silent in awe.
"This…" Uchiha Atsuko activated her Sharingan, scrutinizing the clone before her. Even under the heightened perception of her dōjutsu, she couldn't detect any traces of transformation or discrepancies in the clone's chakra signature.
"Incredible… so incredible!" exclaimed Uchiha Setsuna. The elders and jōnin also activated their Sharingan, but none of them could discern any differences between Atsuko and the clone.
"If the scent and chakra signature are truly identical, this technique could indeed deceive the Anbu," said Uchiha Tsukasa, his voice tinged with excitement. "Such a perfect transformation surpasses anything I've seen. Even Orochimaru's Face Erasure Technique pales in comparison."
"Patriarch, can others learn this Jutsu of Disguise?" Uchiha Shou asked eagerly. If more members of the clan could learn this ninjutsu, they could transfer a significant number of Uchiha out of Konoha without detection.
Fugaku shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. This is a Kekkei Genkai technique that I've replicated using one of my eye abilities."
The room grew silent as the implications of his statement sank in.
"One of your eye abilities can replicate Kekkei Genkai?" Uchiha Setsuna's eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes," Fugaku confirmed. "This ability allows me to temporarily replicate another's bloodline limit and use it as if it were my own."
"No wonder," murmured Setsuna. "That explains how you were able to mimic Wood Release to mislead others about Uchiha Chi's death."
Fugaku allowed them a moment to process the revelation before continuing. "There are five clones in total. Each can impersonate a different person, allowing five individuals to leave Konoha undetected. Let's decide who will go."
After a heated discussion, the group settled on five participants: Uchiha Takehiko, Uchiha Min, Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Atsuko, and Fugaku himself.
The three elders had expressed interest in joining, but Fugaku declined, citing their advanced age and the need to conserve their strength.
During the day, the chosen members quietly prepared for their mission. When night fell and the village grew silent, the group set their plan into motion.
Outside the Uchiha compound, Anbu operatives kept watch, their vigilance unyielding even in the dead of night. But Fugaku's strategy rendered their efforts futile.
Using the Mayfly Technique, Fugaku merged into the earth and slipped past the Anbu's notice. He transported Uchiha Takehiko, Uchiha Min, Uchiha Yakumi, and Uchiha Atsuko one by one, taking them far enough from Konoha to evade detection. Once the real members were safely outside the village, the spore clones transformed into their likenesses and returned to the compound to maintain the illusion that everyone was still present.
Now free from surveillance, the five Uchiha scattered, each heading toward pre-determined locations where Shimura clan members were known to be on missions.
