Those who failed to dodge or react in time had to exit the stage silently. Fugaku shook his head. He thought he could not use such strong ninjutsu again. It might endanger his clan members.
Instead, he opted for an improved version of Earth Release, the Earth Rock Fist, for close combat. This approach allowed both sides to avoid using ninjutsu.
One individual recognized the power of the clan leader and understood that he couldn't defeat him alone.
Without hesitation, he drew his sword and attacked. However, his efforts were futile; the leader's hand effortlessly twisted the sword, rendering it useless. In a swift motion, he kicked him out with his foot without giving him time to react. He hit the people behind him, who rushed over, and fell with them.
"We got him."
As Fugaku kicked his leg, several figures quickly appeared behind him, grabbing hold of his arm and thigh during the opening. Five or six people successfully pinned him down, while the others attempted to join in the fray.
Then, a loud crackling sound filled the air. A powerful current of electricity radiated from Fugaku's body, covering a distance of more than 20 meters in all directions.
All the people who rushed up let out painful screams, falling to the ground and twitching uncontrollably, with occasional sparks flying from their bodies.
"Chidori stream."
This technique allows the user to release Chidori from their entire body, attacking anyone within a certain range. It can also serve as a defensive measure when facing multiple enemies at once.
Sasuke originally created this technique, but its power and range were improved by his father. He had to admit that this body had a great advantage in chakra, allowing him to use this technique easily.
"Wow… incredible." Obito, who was standing far away, was trying to get a better view. He knew that his clan leader was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
Akihiko was also stunned and speechless. He wondered, How did Uchiha Fugaku's chakra increase so much? What had he experienced in the last six months? The power of ninjutsu depended not only on the control of chakra but also on the amount of chakra.
For example, Water Release: Water Formation Wall requires a huge amount of chakra to summon enough water. Even if someone has very fine chakra control, the amount of water they can produce is limited.
But every ninjutsu that Fugaku used just now was more powerful than ordinary ninjutsu, so he must have used more chakra than normal, no matter how good his control was. And yet, he didn't seem to run out of chakra at all.
With such a large chakra reserve, plus the three chakra natures of lightning, water, and fire that he displayed, and that formidable physical strength, how did he achieve all this in half a year?
"Earth Release: Earth Wall."
A thick earth wall rose from the ground and blocked countless kunai and shuriken.
"What? The fourth nature?" Akihiko exclaimed, looking at Fugaku, who had just used an earth release technique.
The Sharingan had the ability to copy Ninjutsu, but the Uchiha clan's specialty was still fire release; that was undeniable. Even if some clan members had mastered other chakra natures, they didn't have any special advantage when using non-fire ninjutsu with their Sharingan.
But Fugaku seemed to have no such limitations. He could use all four natures with ease. Akihiko was sure that Fugaku could also use wind release by now.

In a distant forest, two ANBU ninjas in black cloaks hid in the shadows of the trees, observing the battle on the open field far away with their binoculars. They saw the cracked earth and looked serious.
"He's too powerful. He might be the strongest Uchiha clan leader in history."
"How can he become so strong in just half a year? What did he do?"
A loud noise shook the ground, almost making the two ninjas fall from the tree. They managed to balance themselves with their skills. As Fugaku slammed his fist into the earth once more, the land around him for several meters crumbled and sank.
"Should we report this to Tsunade-sama now?"
The other one nodded cautiously. "You go and report. I'll keep watching here."
......
There were less than one hundred people remaining in the field, and some had withdrawn or sustained injuries, but none of them were seriously hurt. It was noteworthy that he had gained stable control over his powers.
Fugaku looked towards the few dozen people standing in front of him with his right hand shaped like a claw and crackling with electric arcs.
"Do you guys still want to continue?" he asked, smiling.
This battle was even more challenging than his encounters with wandering ninjas. There were more opponents to face, and it was harder for fugaku to defeat a group of people rather than kill them.
During the previous test, fugaku discovered that his bloodline's power had a minor effect on people but was more effective on animals. The remaining clan members kneeled in front of fugaku, including those who had previously sustained minor injuries.
Everyone pledged their loyalty to fugaku, the clan head. Even those who had been electrocuted tried to rise to their feet, express their unwavering dedication.
