"I wonder if he can reach the level of a jonin in terms of chakra?"
After confirming that this special spore clone's taijutsu was far superior to that of regular spore clones, Uchiha Fugaku became eager to test its chakra reserves.
If this spore clone's chakra could also reach jonin level, combined with the combat experience that every spore clone inherited from him, its overall strength would certainly be comparable to a jonin.
The thought excited him. He was impatient to see whether this spore clone's chakra capacity would surpass that of ordinary clones.
Unfortunately, his own chakra was nearly depleted, leaving him unable to use sensory ninjutsu to measure the clone's chakra reserves.
Moreover, since this spore clone had just been created, its chakra levels had yet to stabilize, making it impossible to determine its true maximum potential.
"I'll have to check again tomorrow."
Uchiha Fugaku left the secret room and returned to his residence.
The next morning, after recovering a substantial amount of chakra overnight, he returned to the secret room.
Though his chakra had not fully recovered from the heavy expenditure of the previous day, it was sufficient to perform ninjutsu.
Upon entering the chamber, he immediately summoned the special spore clone from yesterday.
"This spore clone, which is different from the others, will be called Number One."
For convenience, he decided to assign a numerical designation to these special spore clones.
From now on, this first special spore clone would be referred to as Number One, and any similar spore clones in the future would be Number Two, Number Three, Number Four, and so on.
Simple, clear, and easy to track.
"Don't suppress your chakra."
Giving the command, Fugaku then used his sensory abilities to gauge Number One's chakra reserves.
Immediately, he could perceive the total amount of chakra contained within the clone.
"He has reached the level of a jonin!"
After a full day, Number One's chakra had fully stabilized.
According to his observations, Number One's chakra was at least on par with that of an ordinary jonin.
"With jonin-level taijutsu, jonin-level chakra, and my inherited battle memories, Number One should have no problem holding his own as a jonin-level ninja."
A slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Unlike the typical spore clones, Number One possessed significantly enhanced abilities.
If his assessment was correct, Number One should be able to function at jonin level.
"To confirm, I'll need to test him in actual combat. But this isn't the right place for a real fight."
Activating his Mangekyō Sharingan, the pattern in Fugaku's right eye spun rapidly as he cast a powerful real illusion on Number One.
In an instant, the clone was pulled into a hyper-realistic genjutsu battlefield.
"Attack me with everything you have. Use every technique at your disposal!"
Receiving the command, Number One immediately launched an attack.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Claw Flame!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Shurikens coated in flames shot toward Uchiha Fugaku like dancing petals of fire.
With his Sharingan, Fugaku expertly dodged the incoming projectiles.
By the time the last flaming shuriken passed him, Number One was already within striking range, launching a powerful punch at Fugaku.
Peng—
Fugaku swiftly sidestepped the punch.
Countering, he extended his palm and struck Number One, pushing him backward.
The clone was knocked several meters away but flipped midair, landing steadily.
Without hesitation, he formed hand seals and pressed his hands against the ground.
"Earth Style: Earth Lung Spear!"
Jagged spikes of rock erupted from the ground, lunging toward Uchiha Fugaku like piercing spears.
Now possessing mastery over Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Yin Release, Fugaku recognized that Number One had inherited his elemental affinities.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the predictive ability of the Sharingan, Fugaku anticipated each rock spike's trajectory, effortlessly weaving through them before they could strike.
He quickly closed the distance between himself and Number One.
Sensing danger, Number One attempted to retreat and maintain distance, but before he could react, a kunai was already at his throat.
Frozen in place, Number One had no choice but to surrender.
Fugaku withdrew the kunai and ended the real illusion.
"As expected, he has the strength of a jonin."
Through live combat assessment, Fugaku confirmed that Number One was indeed on par with a standard jonin.
"A special individual born by chance… This might explain the birth of stronger variation of White Zetsu."
At this moment, everything clicked into place.
While spore clones created through his Spore Technique might appear identical, there were subtle, unseen variations among them.
Number One was a special mutation—a rare case where the genetic and chakra composition deviated, producing a significantly stronger individual.
"The birth of special individuals like this is purely a matter of probability."
Some people win the lottery repeatedly, while others never win once in their entire lifetime. This was simply how luck worked.
His own luck wasn't bad. After creating just over thirty spore clones, one of them turned out special.
Though Number One was far weaker than special White Zetsu, he was still an anomaly among the clones.
For comparison, Uchiha Obito—despite producing 100,000 White Zetsu clones—had failed to create even one special White Zetsu.
If he had, that individual would have been deployed during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"From what I've observed, Number One has inherited all my chakra attributes. But what about my bloodline limit?"
Fugaku's gaze fell upon Number One once again.
"Let's see if he can use any Kekkei Genkai I know."
Following the command, Number One attempted to activate various bloodline limit techniques.
He tried to utilize abilities from four Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Wood Release, Ice Release, and Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Vein).
But without exception, he failed to perform any of them.
The only techniques he could successfully use were:
Mayfly Technique
Role-playing Technique (Imitation Transformation)
Spore Technique
These were abilities that all spore clones possessed.
Apart from them, he was unable to awaken any Kekkei Genkai.
"A pity."
Fugaku sighed.
If Number One had been able to utilize bloodline limits, his combat power could have reached elite jonin level.
Unfortunately, despite his enhanced abilities, he lacked any inherited Kekkei Genkai.
"If he doesn't have a bloodline limit…"
A bold idea suddenly formed in Fugaku's mind.
"Then let's give him one."
The simplest way to grant Number One a Kekkei Genkai was to transplant Sharingan into him.
Although not everyone could handle a Sharingan transplant, most non-Uchiha suffered severe side effects from it.
For example, Kakashi permanently kept his Sharingan active, which continuously drained his chakra.
But Number One would be different.
Fugaku recalled that White Zetsu clones had successfully transplanted Sharingan before—without suffering any side effects.
Since his spore clones originated from the same base as White Zetsu and contained Uchiha blood, it was highly likely that Number One could also receive a Sharingan transplant without issue.
