Background / History
Meihui was an Uchiha Academy student whose sudden growth made her one of Konoha's foremost young prodigies. She consistently won practical-combat classes and was regarded as nearly chunin-level before graduation. Her teacher, Yoshino Shoda, found both her combat gains and rise from middling to top academic scores suspiciously abrupt. 2
She sought power to protect herself and the Uchiha clan, secretly absorbing radiation from glowing ore despite the danger. Her confrontation with Haotian revealed that he understood her secret and could absorb radiation directly; his offer to teach her greater power intensified her determination. 5
After a White Zetsu parasite emerged from her arm, Meihui fought alongside Haotian and Might Guy to destroy it. The ordeal coincided with a Sharingan breakthrough and left her weakened. 16
Haotian later examined her cells and found abnormally rapid proliferation, short cellular lifespans, and cancerous changes. Meihui refused to abandon her pursuit of strength even after learning that her condition was worsening. 26 27 Her body was eventually rebuilt primarily from modified cancer cells, granting extraordinary vitality and chakra at the cost of making her Haotian's “subordinate derivative”; failure of the process would have meant a painful death. 64
Within the Uchiha clan, Meihui came to resent the elders' attempts to treat her as a weapon. She accused them of exploiting her after her parents' deaths, instilling hatred in her to force a Mangekyo awakening for the clan's ambitions. She answered their pressure by manifesting Susanoo and warning them not to test her limits. 124
Appearance
Meihui is a young Uchiha kunoichi with fair skin, long black hair, and crimson Sharingan eyes. During the war, she changes her hair into a high ponytail for easier movement. 62 66 143
- Wears black-and-crimson Uchiha clan attire. 143
- Her Sharingan shifts from its tomoe pattern into Mangekyo Sharingan when threatened. 143
- Often carries a kunai in combat. 27 177
- Keeps the Kusanagi Sword after Haotian declines it. 153
Personality
Meihui is highly ambitious, composed, and willing to endure severe risks for power. Even after learning that cancer had spread throughout her body, she remained focused on becoming stronger rather than retreating. 26 62 64
Early on, she is proud and cold toward rivals, belittling Hyuga Iripo after defeating him. Her confidence later becomes a firm insistence on autonomy, particularly when Uchiha elders attempt to dictate how she should use her Mangekyo Sharingan. 6 124
Despite her aloofness, Meihui is protective of those close to her. She worries about Haotian during missions, stands guard against threats to his camp, and instinctively manifests Susanoo when she believes someone may have harmed him. 54 122 152 She also has a gentler side, seen when she plays with a white ninja cat. 98
Her harshness can extend to weaker companions: she punishes Kabuto and Yamato for offending her, treating the matter casually despite their injuries. 153
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan
Meihui's Sharingan grants her the perception and predictive ability expected of an advanced Uchiha dōjutsu user.

- Uses powerful genjutsu against Haotian during sparring. 38

- Awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan by the battle against the Tailed Beast Ball. 115 118
- Its chakra pressure is strong enough to frighten crowds and nearby Anbu. 152
- Its activation and advanced Susanoo use worsen her eyesight. 153
- Her Mangekyo power is significant enough that Orochimaru seeks both her eyes and blood. 143
Susanoo
Meihui can manifest Susanoo as both a defensive barrier and a colossal armored combatant.
- Raises Susanoo to block a Tailed Beast Ball, though its arm shatters under the attack's force. 115
- Creates a visual barrier with Susanoo while Haotian absorbs Shukaku's chakra. 116
- Uses Susanoo to intimidate Uchiha elders and reject their control. 124

- Manifests a second-form, blue Susanoo armed with a long sword against the Six Paths of Pain. 176
- Overuse can deplete her chakra to the point of collapse. 115
Izanagi
Meihui received Izanagi from Elder Setsuna and uses it to rewrite unfavorable outcomes.
- States that her activation-to-reality-rewrite duration lasts roughly five minutes. 62
- Activation costs an eye; she identifies her left eye as the price paid for Izanagi. 62
- Avoids Orochimaru's White Phosphorus Serpent by turning the unfavorable reality into an illusion, then counterattacks from behind. 144
- Haotian forbids her from using it again against Shukaku because of its price. 116
Fire Style, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu
Meihui combines Uchiha Fire Style with genjutsu, kunai work, and strong close-range attacks.

- Taijutsu — Her kicks can leave deep indentations in training targets. 38
- Kunai proficiency — Uses agile aerial movement and precise thrusts to kill a Hellhound. 177
Modified Cancer-Cell Physiology
Haotian reconstructs Meihui's body with altered cancer cells after her illness becomes critical.
- The modified cells provide immense vitality and energy. 64
- Her chakra becomes unusually ferocious and aggressive in nature. 64
- The transformation leaves her permanently connected to Haotian as his “subordinate derivative.” 64
- Before the procedure, cancer cells had spread throughout all her organs due to prolonged exposure to Haotian's radiation-like power. 62
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Kunai — Her standard weapon for close combat and finishing strikes. 27 177
- Kusanagi Sword — Taken from Orochimaru and retained after Haotian refuses it. 153
- Uchiha clan attire — Black-and-crimson clothing associated with her clan. 143
Relationships
- Shiranui Haotian — Teammate, protector, mentor, and the source of her body modification. Meihui trusts his judgment deeply and repeatedly acts to protect him, though their relationship is complicated by his experiments and control over her altered physiology. 5 63 64 152
- Might Guy — Teammate and sparring partner. They fought together against White Zetsu and trained alongside Haotian. 16 38

- Orochimaru — Enemy who covets her eyes and blood. Meihui repels him using Mangekyo Sharingan, Susanoo, and Izanagi. 143 144
- Uchiha Obito — Comrade whose reported death alarms Meihui; she immediately seeks Haotian after hearing the news. 89
- Kabuto and Yamato — Haotian's subordinates whom Meihui punishes after they offend her. 153
