History
Role in Konoha
The Uchiha co-founded Konoha alongside the Senju and supplied frontline fighters in each of the village's major wars. Their clan also held exclusive control of the Konoha Military Police Force, a position later dissolved after the extermination. 2 4
Within Konoha, the clan was increasingly isolated amid accusations of plotting a coup. Uchiha Setsuna maintained that the clan had been framed and that Konoha had abandoned a founding clan that had repeatedly sacrificed for the village. 2
Clan Extermination
During the night of the extermination, Uchiha Itachi slaughtered clan members while Root and Anbu forces operated around the compound. Konoha had issued orders restricting movement that night, and the other clans did not intervene despite the Uchiha's repeated distress flares. 1 2
Setsuna used sound-amplification ninjutsu to broadcast throughout Konoha. Speaking for the remaining Uchiha, he expelled Fugaku and Itachi from the clan, accused Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō of conspiring against the Uchiha, and ordered surviving clansmen to deny Konoha their Sharingan and clan resources. 2
The Uchiha compound and Police Force headquarters were destroyed in successive self-detonations. The blasts, followed by heavy rain, left no intact bodies and created two deep craters that became known as Uchiha Lake. 2 3 5
Konoha subsequently declared that the clan had attempted a coup and committed mass suicide, while portraying Itachi as a lone killer driven mad by his Mangekyō Sharingan. Itachi was designated an S-rank missing-nin, and the Police Force was merged into the Anbu under direct Hokage control. 3 4
Aftermath
Konoha attempted to fill the lakes formed at the former Uchiha compound, but the site remained a source of fear, guilt, and superstition among the village population. News of the extermination and Setsuna's accusations spread throughout the ninja world, severely damaging Konoha's reputation. 5
Uchiha Naro left Konoha with Uchiha Shisui's vengeful spirit and other companions. Mikoto and Sasuke had escaped the compound before the massacre's conclusion and later lived under Naro's protection in the Land of Fire's capital. 4 7
Clan Traits and Legacy
Sharingan
The Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's defining ocular power. A Three-Tomoe Sharingan can perceive an opponent's movements, copy witnessed ninjutsu, and enhance genjutsu; mastery still requires training and experience. 10
- Mangekyō Sharingan patterns are unique to each awakened Uchiha. 8
- Known Mangekyō users in the narrative include Naro, Mikoto, Fugaku, and Itachi. 3 7 8
- The clan's eyes were valuable enough that Danzō had multiple Sharingan grafted into his arm and possessed Shisui's Mangekyō in his right eye. 3
- Setsuna ordered surviving members to destroy the Sharingan of fallen clansmen rather than leave them for Konoha to seize. 2
Fire Style and Genjutsu
Fire Style is closely associated with the clan; the Fireball Jutsu is identified as an Uchiha signature technique. 7
- Uchiha Sasuke trained in shurikenjutsu and Fire Style under Mikoto. 7
- Sasuke later used Sharingan genjutsu to immobilize enemies before finishing them with kunai or Fire Style. 16
- Mikoto taught that genjutsu and ranged Fire or Wind Style techniques are effective against Kumogakure's close-range Lightning Style fighters. 16
