Background
Early Uchiha service
Ci began as an Uchiha genin without an awakened Sharingan. His confrontation with Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna established him as a youth willing to openly challenge clan authority, while Setsuna recognized that Ci's temperament made him useful to the Hawk Faction. 2 3
He developed Uchiha Style: Silk Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu into the core of his early combat style. By using threaded projectiles at extreme speed, he aimed to deny opponents time to form hand seals, defend, or recover from an opening. 10 47
Root and the Third Shinobi World War
After the Land of Hot Water conflict, Ci entered Root under the codename Asura. Root identified him as a core member of Konoha's Special Unit and Orochimaru's favored disciple. 113 133
During the war, Ci isolated himself inside Super · Deathmatch Barrier to save the Konoha Assault Unit from three hundred Suna shinobi. He subsequently fought through enemy lines, rapidly improving his movement techniques and swordsmanship. 133 136 137
His public identity remained deliberately separate from Asura. Konoha attributed his battlefield accomplishments—including the killing of Ebizo—to the Root codename, allowing Ci to remain publicly regarded as an ordinary young jonin. 166
Uchiha leadership and disappearance
Following his destructive Partial Jinchuriki Transformation in Konoha, Uchiha Yashiro acknowledged Ci as the Uchiha Clan's Young Patriarch. 179
Ci later disappeared after falling from a cliff in the Valley of Hell. Kakuzu saved him by implanting a new heart and Earth Grudge Silk Threads, after which Madara attempted to repair and modify his body with White Zetsu, Hashirama cells, and transplanted Sharingan. 267
Although clan members and outside forces believed him missing or dead, Ci resurfaced in the Land of Lightning and confronted several Kage-level opponents. 277 295 310
Six Paths conflict
Ci's growing power made him central to Madara's Ten-Tails plan: his Incomplete Ten-Tails Body could generate chakra equivalent to seven Tailed Beasts. Madara extracted much of this chakra to revive the Ten-Tails. 496 497
After learning advanced chakra theory from Indra and returning to the ninja world through Obito's Curse Mark of Heaven, Ci prepared to confront the Sage of Six Paths directly. 550 555
Under Infinite Tsukuyomi, he used Divine Tree World Birth to draw chakra from living beings across the world, defeated Madara with Susanoo God, and sought to record a route to Six Paths-level power for the ninja world. 569
Personality
Ci is calculating, adaptable, and highly conscious of battlefield economy. He chose to flee from twelve Evil God Cult elites rather than spend chakra in an unfavorable fight, only to be caught by a larger ambush at the rendezvous point. 61
He frequently uses provocation, deception, and false identities as combat tools. When Sasori questioned his identity, Ci claimed to be Uchiha Fugaku and introduced “Uchiha Yanzu” as an alias to misdirect him. 277
Despite his cynicism, Ci repeatedly accepts extreme personal risk to protect allies. He chose to face three hundred Suna shinobi alone to save the Konoha Assault Unit and was recognized by Danzō as possessing the resolve to let comrades live at his own expense. 133 185
Ci initially admitted that he was greedy for money, missed home, and often used ideals he did not believe in as weapons. Orochimaru's question of what a ninja is forced him to confront his uncertainty over his identity and motivations. 118
His later decisions show greater restraint: he refused to use the Zero Tail's power to seek justice for commoners because of the destruction it would cause. 113
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and dōjutsu
Ci's Sharingan began unawakened, advanced through one and two tomoe, and later underwent multiple unnatural evolutions through Sage Art chakra, Curse Mark power, Ketsuryūgan fusion, and transplanted Mangekyo power. 10 38 56 150 267 271

- Forms the power source for Sun Halo Dance and several of Ci's sword-ninjutsu combinations. 208
- Can be used without injury by the time Uchiha Fugaku questions Ci about it. 187
- Its earlier use carried severe danger and was treated by Ci as a potential self-destructive weapon. 38 39
Sage Transformation and Sage Arts
Ci's Curse Mark of Heaven gave him access to Ryūchi Cave natural energy, but also threatened to transform him into a snake if his own chakra was exhausted. 153 155

Barriers, sealing, and Susanoo
