I Am Fugaku Uchiha

"Grateful for support Insomniologist; it fuels creativity. Thank you, dear patrons!"

------------------------------

Fugaku soared into the sky, his wings beating the air and keeping him aloft. He gazed down at the Suna ninjas in the forest below.

He was preparing to unleash Kirin, a very powerful lightning technique created by Sasuke Uchiha.

It is based on natural lightning that Sasuke controls with his chakra. It can destroy a small mountain and even break through Itachi’s Susanoo. It is named after a mythical creature that is considered holy and divine in Japanese folklore.

"I will show you what means despair!" He shouted with a menacing tone, and he gathered a lighting in his right hand. He raised it up and aimed at the sky.

“Run!” The captain sensed the danger and snapped out of his stupor. His loud yell snapped the sand troops out of their trance. They scrambled to flee from the forest in terror.

"It's Thunder Escape. Too late."

Fugaku thought that Kirin was a fitting name for his technique. He guided a massive lightning bolt. It descended from the sky with a force that shook the earth.

Time seemed to stand still as a deafening roar echoed across the corner of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

Even the Konoha ninjas, who were far away had to cover their ears from the thunderous noise.

Under the impact of the thunder, a part of the forest, including the sand troops in that location, disappeared.

"It's not over yet," Fugaku's cold voice echoed once more. He raised his left hand to the sky again, repeating the same hand seal to summon thunder and control natural elements.

The blinding flash struck down, throwing the sand shinobis into chaos. In the midst of the turmoil, hundreds of them fell lifeless, overwhelmed by the unforgiving force.

Even a colossal tree, once capable of shielding several people, now crumbles to ashes, leaving no chance for any mere mortal.

Amidst the wet forest conducting the deadly electricity, the entire woodland resonated with piercing screams and a harrowing symphony of agony.

"It's the power of God!" a sand shinobi mutter as he felt overwhelmed; any normal ninja would have felt the same!

In their attempts to flee, giant thunder blasts appeared out of nowhere, erasing them from existence.

The overwhelming fear of death consumed them, and the roar of thunder made some of the sand shinobi lose hope, forcing them to kneel down and shiver as lightning illuminated their faces with each strike.

Despite being Uchiha masters of fire techniques, their specialty seemed ineffective against the relentless onslaught of thunder.

After eight blasts of the thunderous Kirin, most of the sand shinobi’s managed to escape the forest.

For the trapped ninjas in the woods, the forest had become a hellish nightmare. The rain persisted but was much lighter now.

Though numerous ninjas remained ensnared, there was a sudden cessation of thunder, bringing an eerie calm to the once chaotic scene.

"Attention, Sand Ninjas!" Fugaku's voice thundered, reaching the ears of those below. Instinctively, those who heard him looked up to see him hovering above.

Closing his eyes, Fugaku spread his arms to the sky, declaring, "My name is Uchiha Fugaku, and this is your end!"

As he spoke, an intense energy gathered in his hands, and in the dark clouds, countless bolts of lightning converged towards him.

Though not as large as the Kirin, they were more numerous. Lightning flashed in the sky, striking his palms, and the thunder in his hands grew larger.

Suddenly, Fugaku brought his hands together, unleashing the lightning dragon that darted from his grasp to the ground with immense speed.

The fierce lightning tore through the forest floor, relentlessly extending towards the fleeing sand shinobi. The earth crumbled in its wake, and the unfortunate sand ninjas perished on contact.

The duration of the attack was unknown, perhaps a mere second or an eternity, before it ceased, leaving behind a scene of devastation and silence.

The rain continued to fall, creating a soothing backdrop to the unexpected turn of events. Fugaku's sudden appearance in Konoha's camp left everyone, including Shikaku and Tsunade, in a state of stunned disbelief.

"Hmm... After this, it should be peaceful for a while. Let's go back to the camp and eat something!" Fugaku stretched comfortably under the watchful gaze of everyone.

However, his invitation was met with silence; the onlookers simply stared at the Uchiha clan head in awe.

The magnitude of his strength was unfathomable. Had he reached a level where he could manipulate the power of nature at will?

This revelation was even more astonishing than the night's raid on the Suna camp, particularly for the Uchiha, who took great pride in their clan head's prowess.

Tsunade, too, found herself speechless. She had initially harbored doubts about Fugaku's claims, but now it seemed that he was not lying. Could he truly defeat anyone single-handedly?

Undeterred by the hushed amazement around him, Fugaku strolled towards the camp.

As he observed the surprised expression on Nono's face next to Tsunade and glanced back at the people following him, he couldn't help but inquire, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

The crowd remained silent, their astonishment lingering in the air.

"Come on, let's go back and eat. I haven't had a meal since morning, and it's almost noon now!" Fugaku urged, noting the expressions on everyone's faces.

"Clan... Clan head... Just now..."

"Just now?" Itsuki's question prompted Fugaku to understand what had transpired.

He replied promptly, "Well, I taught you another ninjutsu. You should delve deeper into the lightning attribute. It's incredibly useful in combat!"

"Huh?"

"Is that so?"

"It seems to be true..."

"Yes, I didn't think of that." The Uchiha clansmen transitioned from shock to excitement.

If the clan head could master it, so could they. Many among them possessed thunder and fire attributes, and even those who didn't were now inspired to study the intricacies of controlling the lightning attribute chakra.

"Lord Fugaku... You're really... It seems in this war, everything will be alright. Shikaku shook his head with a wry smile on his face. He vividly recalled Fugaku asking about ways to plummet the morale of the Suna forces upon his return to the Konoha camp.

Back then, he had devised a battle plan, intending to ambush the sand troops using geographical and numerical advantages.

The plan aimed to exploit Konoha's superior morale over the Suna Shinobi. However, Fugaku had executed a solo ambush, and the results were beyond astonishing.
