057 Jounin Exam, Uchiha Team Crisis

"As expected of the person most likely to become the next Uchiha clan patriarch. You've already unlocked the three tomoe at such a young age," Troy said, sighing.

Fugaku was only fourteen years old. Normally, the Three Tomoe Sharingan would be the strongest form a Uchiha could achieve at his age. 

After all, the method to unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan was a secret, known only to the Uchiha clan's patriarch. 

Fugaku's talent was truly exceptional, even among the top Uchiha.

"It's a pity. With so many of us, your illusion won't work," Troy said, his confidence rooted in their numbers. 

For years, the Uchiha clan had been a big presence in the ninja world. 

Countless people had researched ways to counter the Sharingan, many of whom had died in the process. 

After many sacrifices, they discovered the key to defeating an Uchiha: never face them alone. 

At least twice the number of people was needed to challenge an Uchiha.

The problem with the Uchiha clan's illusion is how powerful it is. 

If they meet their gaze in a one-on-one fight, they are likely to fall into their genjutsu. 

Even if the illusion lasts only a second, that brief moment on a constantly changing battlefield can be enough for the enemy to defeat you. 

This is why the Uchiha are considered invincible in one-on-one combat. 

However, there is a weakness to their genjutsu.

The weakness of the Uchiha's genjutsu is that it can't be used on a large scale. 

If there are others around the person trapped in the illusion, a little external stimulation can break the genjutsu. 

After all, not all Uchiha are like Itachi, and not all techniques are as powerful as Tsukuyomi. 

With twelve Cloud Shinobi facing them, the pressure on Uchiha's team increased. 

"What should we do, Fugaku?" 

Uchiha Mikoto, the medic of the squad, asked.

Although Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan was activated, her main skill was Medical Ninjutsu. 

The other person was also from the Uchiha clan, having opened their own Sharingan. 

Uchiha Fugaku was the core of their trio. 

"I'll hold them off. You two go find the other Konoha teams," Fugaku said. 

He took a kunai in one hand and reached into his ninja bag with the other.

Large shuriken flew toward the group of Cloud Shinobi. Uchiha Fugaku quickly formed hand seals. 

"If we're going to be defeated, there's no reason to hold back"

"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!" 

A barrage of small fireballs shot from Fugaku's mouth, mixing with the shuriken he had thrown. 

Together, they created a fiery barrage that covered the Cloud Shinobi.

Two people are covering a group of enemies, but the other side isn't ordinary.

"Water Style: Water Barrier!" 

Two ninjas from Takigakure worked together to create a large water wall, blocking all the attacks. 

The flames hit the water, and a thick mist instantly filled the air.

In the mist, several figures rushed forward, all resembling Fugaku. 

He had created multiple clones and charged into the enemy ranks.

In this situation, they had to act quickly!

The participants in this competition are no ordinary ninjas. 

Although their physical skills might not surpass Fugaku's, they aren't far behind, and any direct contact would shatter the illusion. 

Kunai and shuriken collided, sending sparks flying.

Amid the white mist, a ninja searched for an opponent. 

Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared, and the world was swallowed by darkness.

When the darkness faded, Uchiha Fugaku had already slashed across his opponent's stomach with a kunai.

The wound was serious, but not fatal. 

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" 

A powerful gust of wind cleared the smoke, revealing Uchiha Fugaku once again.

His three clones were destroyed, and he had a wound on his left arm. 

Despite this, he used his Sharingan to quickly take down three ninjas from small countries. 

However, while he was fighting, his teammate Uchiha Takaki was also attacked. 

Mikoto was about to rush over to heal him when a Cloud Shinobi blocked her path. 

"Don't worry about me, break through on your own!" 

Uchiha Fugaku, determined and strong-willed, didn't hesitate. Ignoring the danger, he quickly formed hand seals and prepared his final move.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" 

A massive fireball shot toward the Cloud Shinobi, its heat intense and overwhelming.

Troy, gripping two large shurikens, smirked. "I can't let you take all the glory." 

"Wind Style: Blaster Shuriken!" 

He threw the diamond-shaped shurikens, which spun rapidly, creating a powerful whirlwind that sliced through the fireball with ease.

Uchiha Takaki quickly dodged as the huge shurikens narrowly missed him, cutting through the air.

Just as Uchiha Takaki breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a whistling sound from behind. 

"Be careful, Takaki!" Uchiha Mikoto shouted.

"Huh?"

Takaki turned around just in time to see two flying shurikens coming back toward him. The sharp blades cut across his shoulder, drawing blood. 

Takaki stumbled back, injured but still standing.
