We analyze the early growth stage of direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) with ∼105M⊙, which are formed by collapse of supermassive stars in atomic-cooling halos at z≳10. A nuclear accretion disk around a newborn DCBH is gravitationally unstable and fragments into clumps with a few 10M⊙ at ∼0.01−0.1pc from the center. Such clumps evolve into massive population III stars with a few 10−100M⊙ via successive gas accretion and a nuclear star cluster is formed. Radiative and mechanical feedback from an inner slim disk and the star cluster will significantly reduce the gas accretion rate onto the DCBH within ∼106yr. Some of the nuclear stars can be scattered onto the loss cone orbits also within ≲106yr and tidally disrupted by the central DCBH. The jet luminosity powered by such tidal disruption events can be Lj≳1050ergs−1. The prompt emission will be observed in X-ray bands with a peak duration of δtobs∼105−6(1+z)s followed by a tail ∝tobs−5/3, which can be detectable by Swift BAT and eROSITA even from z∼20. Follow-up observations of the radio afterglows with, e.g., eVLA and the host halos with JWST could probe the earliest AGN feedback from DCBHs.
