Appearance

The Uchiha clan, as a whole, is characterized by a distinctive appearance, often reflecting their martial heritage and internal dynamics. Their standard attire includes deep blue fabric adorned with the prominent fan crest, a symbol of their lineage 55. Despite this uniform, individual members can present varied demeanors. For instance, some clansmen, particularly those who have suffered injuries or hardships, may exhibit a "rusted" or "battered" appearance, their postures lacking the sharp, capable bearing typically associated with the clan 55. These individuals might be seen leaning against pillars, staring blankly, or performing repetitive, sluggish actions, their faces etched with the "unwanted past" and "weariness of the world" 55. In contrast, leaders like Uchiha Ren are described as doing things "without haste," possessing a "calm confidence" and a "very clear sense of purpose" 4. The Uchiha Red-Armored Army, a disciplined fighting force, maintains strict order and steady steps, representing the clan's "backbone" and martial strength 59. Even the children of the clan are depicted with "burning eyes" as they observe their elders, suggesting an early inculcation of clan pride and martial spirit 59. The elders, such as the Old Clan Head, are often characterized by graying beards and hair, which flutter in the breeze, signifying their age and wisdom 59.

Following the establishment of the Mugen City Shogunate, Ren wears a custom-made dark green military uniform marking his rank as Pillar General. The uniform emphasizes his authority as the Shogunate's military and political leader 110 111.

Specific details regarding appearance include:

• Clan Attire: Deep blue fabric with the Uchiha fan crest 55.
• Injured Clansmen: May exhibit visible scars and physical impairments, such as a lost lower leg, requiring prosthetics like metal crutches 55. Their demeanor can be sluggish, blank, or withdrawn 55.
• Elders: Often have graying beards and hair 59.
• Uchiha Ren: Described as having calm confidence and a clear sense of purpose 4. As Pillar General, he wears a dark green military uniform symbolizing his rank in the Mugen City Shogunate 110 111.
• Uchiha Setsuna: As an elder, he is noted to be "advanced in age" 4.

Personality and Traits

Uchiha Ren is characterized by a complex blend of strategic brilliance, unwavering ambition, and a pragmatic, often ruthless, dedication to the advancement of the Uchiha clan. He consistently demonstrates political acumen, carefully navigating the intricate power dynamics within Konoha and the broader ninja world to secure advantages for his clan 2 3 7 15. While capable of displaying respect and deference to elders and maintaining intimate, yet restrained, relationships, his core motivations are rooted in a desire for power and influence, often leading him to employ manipulation, deception, and even drastic measures to achieve his long-term goals 2 15 28 65 97. He is a forward-thinker, constantly planning for the future of the Uchiha, whether through cultivating new generations, expanding their influence, or preparing for potential conflicts 29 33 34 53 100.

• Strategic and Cunning: Ren consistently displays exceptional strategic thinking and cunning, often manipulating events and individuals to serve his clan's interests. He orchestrates situations like framing Konohagakure to provoke conflict between other villages, aiming to gain autonomy for the Uchiha 15. He plans to monitor and intercept key figures like Mitokado Homura and uses Kakuzu to carry out missions that benefit the Uchiha while appearing to be unrelated 28. His approach to clan politics involves careful analysis of the political situation and the motives of others, such as the patriarch 3. He also uses his Shadow Clones to manage multiple tasks, including dealing with troublesome nobles and planning for the capture of powerful individuals like Tsunade 65.
• Ambitious: A driving force behind Ren's actions is his ambition for the Uchiha clan. He is willing to consider drastic measures, including leaving Konoha or even destroying it, if it benefits his clan 2. He aims to strengthen the Uchiha's position within Konoha and the ninja world, seeking to control powerful assets like the Rinnegan and unique ocular jutsu 28 100. This ambition extends to cultivating the next generation, where he proposes innovative ideas like a clan academy to nurture talent and secure the clan's future dominance 33 34. After becoming Pillar General, he expands this ambition into building the Mugen City Shogunate into a new political order 110 172.
• Pragmatic and Ruthless: Ren's pragmatism often borders on ruthlessness, as he prioritizes the Uchiha's interests above all else, even showing indifference to Konohagakure's survival if it means gaining autonomy for his clan 15. He is willing to use threats and manipulation, as seen in his interactions with Tsunade, where he leverages her emotional attachments to control her 97. He silences individuals like Daju to prevent the revelation of sensitive information, demonstrating his willingness to eliminate potential threats 97. He later defeats Madara in battle and uses Madara's captured soul to confront him with the consequences of his actions 171 173.
• Leader and Mentor: Ren demonstrates strong leadership qualities, taking on significant responsibilities such as Commander-in-Chief of the Uchiha Red Guard 53. He inspires loyalty and trust among his subordinates, such as Yashiro and Hazuki, and is adept at recognizing and utilizing their talents 3 100. He also acts as a mentor, guiding younger clan members like Shisui in understanding complex political balances 97. He fosters a sense of unity among the Uchiha children by leading them to the Ninja Academy 33. As Pillar General, he commands the loyalty of the Shogunate's generals and officers 110.
• Responsible and Restrained: Despite his ambition, Ren exhibits a sense of responsibility and restraint, particularly in his personal relationships. He maintains a respectful distance in his intimate moments with Mikoto, prioritizing clan matters and showing a mature approach to their relationship 31. He also shows deference and respect to his elders, such as Uchiha Setsuna and Elder Huoke, adhering to clan traditions 31.
• Studious and Dedicated: Ren is dedicated to personal growth and mastering new skills. He secretly studies ancient Uchiha texts in the clan library to gain wisdom 31. He diligently works to understand complex cultivation methods, even when they prove challenging, and seeks additional resources to aid his learning 29 52. He practices his techniques, constantly reflecting on potential advancements and improvements 29. His later experimentation with spirit mediumship includes attempting to possess the Seven Ninja Swordsmen with their former owners' remnant souls 141.
• Long-term Planner: Ren consistently thinks several steps ahead, planning for the Uchiha's future in the long term. This is evident in his search for Uchiha Hikari, an ancient clansman with unique ocular jutsu, and his desire to control the Rinnegan 28. He considers the legacy of Uchiha Madara and the divergent paths the ninja world has taken due to his actions, indicating a deep understanding of historical context and future implications 97. He also delegates power to key figures within the clan to free up his own time for cultivation, demonstrating foresight in managing resources 29. He directs covert assets in Roran to investigate Sunagakure's possible control of the Ryumyaku and plans an audit and reform of the Konoha Military Police Force 127.
• Respect for Uchiha History: Although he is willing to criticize and manipulate even legendary ancestors, Ren also treats the clan's historical failures as lessons. He summons the souls of Madara, Tajima, Izuna, Lei, Baru, Naka, and Naori to share the clan's history and prevent its past tragedies from being forgotten 173 174.

Abilities and Powers

Sharingan

The Sharingan is a prominent ocular ability within the Uchiha clan, granting its users various enhanced perceptions and unique techniques. Ren's Sharingan is noted to be mutated, allowing him to learn and activate magic from other worlds 1 20. The strength of the Sharingan's ocular power directly influences the effectiveness and range of certain abilities 21. By the time of his confrontation with Uchiha Madara, Ren has awakened and mastered the Mangekyo Sharingan, dramatically broadening his ocular abilities 171 173.

• Space Jump: This is a space-time ninjutsu exclusive to Uchiha clan members who possess the Sharingan 20. Ren developed this technique after obtaining "Dimension Move," a low-level transfer magic from the world of Overlord, via the Cyan-White Stone Gate. Initially, "Dimension Move" allowed only short-distance self-teleportation, similar to a basic Fireball spell 20. After two and a half years of refinement, Ren transformed it into the standard Sharingan ocular technique, Space Jump 20. The technique's activation relies entirely on ocular power, with stronger ocular power enabling wider teleportation ranges and more consecutive uses 21. Mikoto and Yashiro were among the first to learn this technique, with Yashiro mastering it before Mikoto 21. Its integration into the Uchiha combat system is expected to significantly transform their battlefield performance, allowing for rapid movement and evasion in conjunction with shuriken, senbon, ninjutsu, and Uchiha Style taijutsu or swordsmanship 21.
• Illusion: This ocular technique is a result of Ren combining mental manipulation magic, originating from the second-class mage Edel, with his Sharingan 71. The original magic allowed control over others' actions through mental manipulation and the ability to read memories from the last hundred years by touch 71. Illusion is described as a low-tier version of Kotoamatsukami, capable of subtle influence over time. Its primary drawback is that it cannot be achieved instantly; it requires daily, subtle influence and consumes a massive amount of ocular power 71. Ren practices this technique on Ninja Cats, occasionally on death-row inmates from the Police Force, or by arranging shadow clones to find ninja outside the village for experiments. While he uses it during sparring with clansmen, its effect in such contexts is minimal 71.
• Genjutsu: The Sharingan grants users the ability to cast powerful genjutsu. Ren has demonstrated the ability to break Mikoto's genjutsu during a sparring match, indicating his proficiency in both casting and dispelling illusions 19. Ayan, a cat familiar, also uses genjutsu, trapping Daju in a nightmare 20. Ren also uses genjutsu to control nobles in Mugen City 65.
• Memory Reading: The mental manipulation magic integrated into Illusion allows for reading memories of humans or demons from the last hundred years through touch 71.
• Mangekyo Sharingan Replication: Ren replicates and wields numerous high-level Uchiha abilities, including Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Hikari's Yachihoko, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, and Mikoto's Inaba's White Rabbit 171.
• Susanoo: Ren manifests Susanoo in his battle against Madara, countering Madara's own complete Susanoo and displaying power that overwhelms the legendary Uchiha 171 172.
• Kamui: Ruin: Ren employs Kamui: Ruin as the decisive technique that destroys Madara's Susanoo and secures his victory 171.
• Ōkuninushi: Soul Summoning: Using his Mangekyo Sharingan, Ren summons the souls of Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Tajima, and Uchiha Izuna from the Uchiha cemetery 173.
• Divine Bestowed True Knowledge: Ren uses this technique to impart the Uchiha clan's history, the rise of Mugen City, and his own actions directly to summoned souls, including Tajima, Izuna, Lei, Baru, Naka, and Naori 173 174.
• Access to Other Worlds: Ren's mutated Sharingan allows him to access a stone gate, through which he can pull out items or beings from other worlds, such as a zombie from "Highschool of the Dead" or cultivation methods from "Shaman King" 1 27. However, the gains from this ability are often random and not always useful 1.

Cultivation Methods and Techniques

Ren actively seeks and develops various cultivation methods to enhance his power and that of the Uchiha clan.

• Spirit Mediumship Cultivation Method: Ren discovered this complex, Taoist-based cultivation method from the world of "Shaman King" using his Sharingan 27 29. He finds it more challenging to understand than other cultivation systems he has encountered 29. He considers merging this technique with existing ones like Impure World Reincarnation and Senju Hashirama's soul possession 27. He also contemplates creating a "Ten Thousand Soul Banner" using Shimura Danzō's soul or learning from "Battle Through the Heavens" for Yao Lao's resurrection, indicating his ambition to integrate and adapt diverse spiritual techniques 27. He plans to seek additional resources in the Uchiha library and potentially visit the Land of Demons for further insights into this method 29. He later attempts to place the former owners' remnant souls into the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but the attempt fails because the souls are too weak and unstable 141.
• Wind-Riding Sword Technique (Uchiha Style): This innovative swordsmanship technique was created by Ren 25. Uchiha Yashiro is particularly proficient in this style, showcasing its prowess in a duel against Fugaku, who represents traditional Uchiha swordsmanship 25. Ren himself practices this technique and reflects on its potential advancements through sage mode or combination with other elemental chakra 29.
• Yachihoko: This is a unique ocular jutsu possessed by Uchiha Hikari, an Uchiha clansman sealed away during the Warring States period. Ren is actively searching for Hikari to acquire this ability, indicating its significant power or utility 28. He later replicates and uses Yachihoko among his Mangekyo Sharingan abilities 171.
• Reality-Illusion Conversion: Ren uses this ability to transform the Uchiha Gunbai into a new sword, the Heaven-Turning Wheel 171.
• Blessing Peach Abilities: Through the powers associated with the Blessing Peach and the Shogunate Imperial Guard, Ren gains additional abilities that contribute to his overwhelming combat strength. He uses a Peach ability to revive Nohara Rin 171.

Ninjutsu and Taijutsu

The Uchiha clan's combat style is a blend of various ninjutsu, taijutsu, and weapon-based combat.

• Fire Style Ninjutsu: Mikoto is shown to use various Fire Style techniques during her sparring match with Ren 19. The Uchiha combat pattern also includes barrages of Fire Style ninjutsu 21.
• Wind Style Ninjutsu: Wind Style ninjutsu is also part of the Uchiha's standard combat pattern 21.
• Uchiha Style Taijutsu and Swordsmanship: These are core components of the Uchiha clan's close-quarters combat. The Uchiha combat pattern, refined through war, is described as rigorous and efficient, relying on these styles 21. Fugaku demonstrates exceptional skill and control in traditional Uchiha swordsmanship 25.
• Shadow Clones: Ren utilizes Shadow Clones to prepare for dealing with Tsunade and cleaning up corrupt nobles in Mugen City 65. He also uses them to find ninja outside the village for experiments with Illusion 71.

Other Abilities

• Sunen Yingui: This ability was developed by Hazuki after obtaining the Blessing Peach. It allows her to mark and recall objects within a certain range 100. Ren plans to use this ability for the Uchiha clan's evacuation from Konohagakure 100.
• Cat Familiars: Ren interacts with his cat familiars, Daju and Ayan, who serve as intelligence gatherers and assistants 27 28 65 87. Ayan, in particular, is capable of using genjutsu 20.
• Botamon and Agumon: Ren accepts and cares for Botamon after its hatching, treating it as a new member of his household 77. He later witnesses Agumon's evolution into Agumon X in Mugen City 120.
• Strategic Planning and Leadership: Ren consistently demonstrates strong strategic thinking, political acumen, and leadership skills. He plans long-term, delegates responsibilities, and makes decisive actions for the benefit of his clan 2 3 28 29 65 87 100. He also shows an ability to manage clan affairs, delegating power to key figures like Uchiha Yashiro, Tekka, and Taohuo, allowing him more time for cultivation 29. His authority later extends to the Mugen City Shogunate and the major clans that align themselves with it 110 172.

Setsuna harbors ambitions for the Uchiha clan to gain power and expects great things from Ren, though Ren subtly defies these expectations by prioritizing the clan's strengthening over the unrealistic goal of becoming Hokage 1. Their conversations reveal a deep relationship and the trust Setsuna places in Ren, despite their differing views on the clan's future 2. Setsuna reflects on the Uchiha clan's history and the fate of the Senju, acknowledging Ren's potential and delegating clan matters to him 2. Ren maintains a respectful and deferential demeanor towards Setsuna, upholding clan traditions 31. In Mugen City, Setsuna continues to discuss the Uchiha's strategic direction with Ren and Mikoto, though his desire for action occasionally conflicts with the Shogunate's existing military leadership 120.

Uchiha Mikoto

Mikoto shares an intimate and affectionate relationship with Ren, characterized by mutual respect and understanding 31 59. Their bond strengthens as they work together to support the clan, with Mikoto demonstrating concern for the clan's future and supporting Ren's efforts 55. Ren inspires Mikoto, leading her to support orphans and Uchiha clansmen outside the village, thereby enhancing the strength of the Dove Faction 13. Mikoto shows capability and shrewdness in handling clan affairs, trusting Ren's decisions 31. She acts as a caring older sister to Ren, even as he grows into a more responsible leader, experiencing a mix of joy and a hint of possessiveness as he develops 21. Mikoto is willing to integrate new techniques, such as the Space Jump, into the Uchiha clan's combat system after Ren teaches it to her 21. Their intimate moments are often intertwined with discussions about clan matters, highlighting their shared commitment to the Uchiha 31 59.

Mikoto and Ren later form a Biyiniao soul bond, allowing their powers and chakra to overlap and coexist while strengthening their base attributes and Sharingan 103. As his wife and closest political partner, she helps Ren prepare for his public assumption of office as Pillar General and openly expresses pride in his authority and achievements 110 111.

Uchiha Fugaku

Fugaku is initially implied to be a rival to Ren's patriarchal aspirations, with their contrasting leadership styles creating tension within the clan 1 3 4. However, their dynamic shifts as Fugaku accepts his role in supporting Ren, letting go of his pursuit of the Clan Head position and embracing a more cooperative relationship 59. Fugaku demonstrates loyalty and concern for Ren's safety, urging him to take a personal guard when Ren decides to go to Mugen City 60.

Ayan serves as a loyal and efficient subordinate to Ren, providing updates on missions and receiving orders 28. Their relationship is a mix of master-servant, mentor-mentee, and affectionate companionship 15.

She is intelligent and elegant, but her concern for Konohagakure's survival sometimes clashes with Ren's indifference 15.

Daju

Ren shows a more casual side to Daju, answering its questions and displaying patience 28. Their interaction is sometimes brief, with Daju occasionally causing trouble, such as injuring Minako Uzumaki 98. Ren's calm response to Daju's antics suggests he is accustomed to them 98. Ren also silences Daju to prevent it from revealing too much about sensitive information, demonstrating a degree of paranoia and a willingness to control information 97. Daju accidentally activates the Spark Lens, leading Ren to consider that the cat could potentially become a host for Ultraman Tiga's power 44.

Minako Uzumaki

Minako and Ren's interaction shows mutual respect and trust 98. Ren demonstrates kindness and generosity towards Minako and the Uzumaki clan, offering them protection and support in Mugen City 98. He entrusts her with the Blessing Peach, which awakens her ability to sense blood relatives, and offers to help her find and reunite with other Uzumaki clan members 98. Minako, in turn, shows loyalty and determination to serve Ren and the Uchiha clan, accepting his offer to lead a search team 98.

Uchiha Koh

Koh is the former leader of the Dove Faction and reflects on the clan's past wars, expressing his desire to see Mikoto's wedding before he dies 13. He steps down as leader, passing the responsibility to Mikoto, which hints at his support for Ren's methods and his preference for stability and growth within the clan 4. Koh expresses his love for Mikoto and his desire for her happiness, while also sharing his concerns about the clan's future with her 13.

Uchiha Shisui

Ren acts as a mentor to Shisui, explaining the strategic importance of maintaining balance between ninjas and nobles and not overstepping boundaries 97. Shisui shows respect and a willingness to learn from Ren, experiencing a moment of enlightenment regarding the political landscape 97.

Izumi

Izumi is the daughter of Uchiha Hazuki and is one of the Uchiha children who greet Ren and Mikoto at the Uchiha Home 55. Despite her young age, she displays a sense of pride and protectiveness towards her clan, even role-playing a standoff between the Uchiha and the Konoha Military Police Force 55. Her interactions with Ren and Mikoto demonstrate her admiration for them and her growing awareness of her clan's situation 55.

Hizashi Hyuga

Hizashi Hyuga leads the Hyuga Clan in their decision to join the Uchiha in their mission, potentially gambling on the Hyuga Clan's future 59. Ren acknowledges Hizashi's gesture, hinting at a potential alliance between the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans, though he does not explicitly accept it 59.

Tsunade

Ren's interaction with Tsunade is tense and manipulative 97. He negotiates with her to work on Corpse research, threatening to send the Corpse to the Daimyo Palace if she tries to leave 97. Ren uses her feelings for Shizune to control her, while Tsunade struggles with anger, shame, and shock, vowing not to let him get his way easily 97. Despite their hostile dynamic, they later work together to study the effects of experimental drugs and Corpse-related phenomena; Tsunade rejects Ren's offer to provide a Byakugan for research 141.

Kakuzu

Kakuzu is a mercenary ninja who accepts a bounty contract from Ren to ambush a Kumogakure unit, framing Konohagakure 28. Ren manipulates Kakuzu to cause chaos in the ninja world for the Uchiha Clan's benefit 15. Kakuzu is shown to be willing to sell people to the highest bidder, including the Uzumaki mother and daughter, showing no concern for their well-being beyond the transaction 60.

Uchiha Madara

Madara is a historic and ideological adversary whose actions shaped many of the Uchiha clan's past disasters. Ren ultimately confronts Madara directly after Madara reveals himself to be alive and attacks with Wood Release and Kamui 172. Ren defeats Madara's complete Susanoo with his own Susanoo and Kamui: Ruin, establishing the Shogunate's overwhelming authority before the Uchiha and other major clans 171 172.

Uchiha Tajima and Uchiha Izuna

Ren summons the souls of Tajima and Izuna using Ōkuninushi: Soul Summoning, then uses Divine Bestowed True Knowledge to inform them of the Uchiha clan's later history and the rise of Mugen City 173. Tajima reacts with anger and disappointment toward Madara's actions, while Izuna is devastated by the truth of his brother's path 173.

Acquired Items and Techniques

• Zombie from Highschool of the Dead: Ren's transmigrated Sharingan allows him to access a stone gate from which he pulled out a zombie from the world of Highschool of the Dead 1. This acquisition highlights the random and often useless nature of the items gained through his Sharingan's transmigration ability 1.
• Spirit Mediumship Cultivation Method: Ren discovers this cultivation method from the world of Shaman King using his Sharingan 27. He considers merging this technique with existing ones like Impure World Reincarnation and Senju Hashirama's soul possession, and muses about creating a Ten Thousand Soul Banner using Shimura Danzō's soul or learning from Battle Through the Heavens for Yao Lao's resurrection 27. Ren retrieves this method from his Sharingan space and struggles to understand its complex, Taoist-based manual, finding it more challenging than other cultivation systems he has encountered 29. He plans to seek additional resources in the Uchiha library and consider visiting the Land of Demons for further insights into this method 29. His later attempt to use remnant souls to possess the Seven Ninja Swordsmen fails because the souls are unstable and weak 141.
• Space Jump: Ren, using his Sharingan, teaches Mikoto this technique without her consent 21. Mikoto decides to integrate Space Jump into the Uchiha clan's combat system 21. Ren had previously taught this technique to Uchiha Yashiro for testing 21.
• Blessing Peach: Ren obtains two Blessing Peaches, one from the Cyan-White Stone Gate and one from his own Blessing Peach tree 97. This otherworld fruit, originating from the Magic City in the world of Chained Soldier, grants females superpowers and caused a shift in power dynamics between men and women in its original world 84. Ren initially considers giving the peach to his wife Mikoto or her personal guard Hazuki, but decides to have Tsunade study it first to ensure its safety and potential for a steady supply 84. He later entrusts one Blessing Peach to Minako Uzumaki, who consumes it and awakens a unique ability to sense the direction and condition of those connected to her by blood 98. Hazuki also obtains a Blessing Peach and develops the Sunen Yingui ability, which allows her to mark and recall objects within a certain range 100. Ren later uses a Peach ability to revive Nohara Rin 171.
• Sunen Yingui: This ability is developed by Hazuki after she obtains a Blessing Peach 100. It allows her to mark and recall objects within a certain range 100. Ren sends Hazuki to Konohagakure to prepare for the clan's evacuation using this ability 100.
• Corpse (samples and essence): Ren negotiates with Tsunade to work on research related to "Corpse," threatening to send it to the Daimyo Palace if she tries to leave 97. He shows Tsunade a transformed Kirigakure ninja infected with a virus from an unknown realm, seeking her help in analyzing it 70. In the West City Underground Laboratory, Tsunade and Shizune successfully extract concentrated essence from "Corpse" samples 124. This essence has potent regenerative capabilities, as demonstrated when it heals a wounded mouse, though the mouse subsequently experiences rapid decay and loss of neural control, indicating an unknown interfering factor 124. Tsunade plans further research to expand experimental samples and refine the agent using Chakra 124.
• Uchiha Hikari's Yachihoko: Ren inquires about the search for an Uchiha clansman sealed away during the Warring States period, specifically Uchiha Hikari, for her unique ocular jutsu, Yachihoko 28.

• Agumon X: Agumon evolves into Agumon X in Mugen City, witnessed by Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Ren 120.

• Heaven-Turning Wheel: Ren transforms the Uchiha Gunbai into this new sword through Reality-Illusion Conversion 171.

Goals and Ambitions

Ren's primary ambition is to elevate the Uchiha clan to a position of unparalleled power and influence, ensuring its stability, prosperity, and autonomy within or even outside Konohagakure 1 2 15. He views the pursuit of the Hokage position as futile and risky, instead focusing on pragmatic strategies to strengthen the clan from within and expand its reach 1 2. His goals are deeply intertwined with a strategic, long-term vision that prioritizes the clan's self-preservation and dominance over immediate, high-risk political gains 2 7 15. He is willing to consider drastic measures, including leaving Konoha or even destroying it, if such opportunities arise to benefit the Uchiha 2. Ren's leadership is characterized by strategic thinking, manipulation, and a dedication to his duties as the clan's leader, working to achieve these ambitions through various means, including internal development, external manipulation, and the cultivation of future generations 15 33 34 81 120.

• Goal: Strengthen the Uchiha Clan's Power and Influence: Ren aims to make the Uchiha clan a dominant force, whether within Konoha or independently 1 2 15.

He actively works to expand the clan's influence and power, seeing it as a central theme of his actions 28 81.
• Goal: Ensure the Uchiha Clan's Autonomy and Self-Preservation: Ren prioritizes the clan's stability and survival above all else, even if it means considering drastic measures like leaving Konoha or destroying it if a suitable opportunity arises 2 7. He is indifferent to Konohagakure's survival if it means gaining autonomy for the Uchiha Clan 15.
• Goal: Cultivate and Nurture the Next Generation of Uchiha: Recognizing the importance of future generations, Ren leads young Uchiha children to the Ninja Academy to foster clan unity and proposes establishing an Uchiha Clan Academy to cultivate talented civilians and recruit the best among them 33 34. He also suggests creating clan-based academic classes taught by elite jonin to enhance their education 33.
• Goal: Develop Internal Strength and Resources: Ren focuses on internal development, such as improving the living conditions of his Hawk Faction members and integrating the clan's intelligence network 13 31. He also seeks to utilize the clan's resources, such as the Uchiha Home, to provide purpose and responsibility to disabled clansmen, thereby strengthening the clan's internal unity and capabilities 55.
• Goal: Acquire and Control Powerful Ocular Jutsu: Ren actively seeks to control the Rinnegan and find Uchiha Hikari for her unique ocular jutsu, Yachihoko, indicating a desire to acquire powerful abilities that would further enhance the clan's strength 28. He also secretly studies ancient Uchiha texts in the clan library, suggesting a pursuit of forgotten knowledge and power 31. He eventually replicates Yachihoko and numerous other Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, dramatically advancing this objective 171.
• Goal: Manipulate External Forces for the Clan's Benefit: Ren demonstrates a willingness to manipulate other ninja villages and the political landscape to benefit the Uchiha Clan, such as using Kakuzu to frame Konohagakure and cause Kumogakure to attack the Land of Fire 15 28. He also plans to monitor and potentially intercept key figures like Mitokado Homura 28.
• Goal: Secure the Clan's Future through Strategic Planning: Ren constantly engages in strategic thinking and long-term planning, evident in his discussions with elders, his plans for the clan's evacuation, and his focus on internal development while crushing rivals like Kirigakure 28 100 120. He outlines a strategy for the Uchiha Clan to focus on internal development and crush Kirigakure, demonstrating his strategic foresight 120.
• Goal: Consolidate the Mugen City Shogunate: As Pillar General, Ren seeks to turn Mugen City into the Uchiha's secure political, military, and economic foundation 110 111. His defeat of Madara and the subsequent alignment of Konoha's major clans with the Shogunate significantly advance this objective 172.
• Goal: Reform Existing Institutions Under Shogunate Control: Ren intends to audit and reform the Konoha Military Police Force, bringing its personnel and operations into line with his vision of order and centralized authority 127.
• Goal: Prevent the Repetition of Uchiha Historical Failures: By summoning and informing Uchiha ancestors of the clan's history, civil wars, and current achievements, Ren seeks to ensure that the Uchiha's past bloodshed becomes a lesson rather than a cycle to be repeated 173 174.
