"The chakra consumption was no small matter—it used up a full third of my chakra!"
Having seen White Zetsu nearly drain all his chakra when using it before, Uchiha Fugaku had known that this ninjutsu consumed an enormous amount of chakra.
But after using it himself, he was still somewhat surprised by just how much chakra it consumed.
As a Kage-level shinobi, his chakra reserves were naturally considerable.

He reached out and touched the Spore Clone's body. It felt like flesh and blood; even if he applied enough force to cause damage, it would not disappear, merely leaving a bruise on the clone.
This was a clone composed entirely of flesh and blood. Even if it died, it would leave behind a corpse. Aside from being far weaker than the original body, it was not much different from the original.
"The reason it consumes so much chakra should be that stimulating the growth of flesh and blood requires an enormous amount of chakra!"

That was why creating this type of clone required so much chakra.
"Other than its high chakra consumption and weaker combat power, the Spore Clone is superior to clones like the Shadow Clone in every respect."
"However, the Spore Clone
