History

Ninja Sect Era and Separation

After Indra's death, the clan leadership descended through his eldest son's line. The Uchiha later became independent from the Ninja Sect; its pro-war faction held the advantage, although some elders favored reducing hostilities with the sect. 388

As tensions escalated, Sarutobi and hardline elders suppressed peace advocates and reinforced the border. Conflict between the Ninja Sect and the Uchiha became routine, isolating the clan further. 390 393

Near the end of the Ninja Sect, dozens of Three-Tomoe Sharingan users attacked the aged Sarutobi with coordinated Fire Style techniques and taijutsu. Sarutobi defeated them by using the Four Directions Demon Sealing Formation to seal their chakra. 56

Senichi and the Senju Feud

Twenty years after the Ninja Sect's fall, the Uchiha and Senju stood as the strongest competing ninja clans. Uchiha Senichi led the Uchiha and was regarded as one of the era's greatest geniuses. 58 59

Senichi led an elite force in an attempt to capture Kurama. His Mangekyō Sharingan suppressed the Nine-Tails and halted its Tailed Beast Bomb, but the strain caused severe pain and raised his fear of eventual blindness. 59

After attempting to seize Manji's Rinnegan, Senichi was effortlessly defeated. His Susanoo also failed to withstand Manji's attack, forcing Senichi to recognize the difference in their strength. 60 61

Senichi later challenged Senju Shuichi while his Mangekyō-induced blindness rapidly worsened. His vision failed during the duel, allowing Shuichi to defeat him; Senichi's death became the origin of the entrenched Senju–Uchiha blood feud. 69 170

Uchiha Fox's Rule

Uchiha Fox grew up as an orphan abused and excluded by other Uchiha because he lacked parents and had not awakened the Sharingan. 72

His bond with Uzuki Senju awakened his Two-Tomoe Sharingan when she revealed that she had been assigned to marry into the Uzumaki Clan. He later returned with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, supplied intelligence on the Senju–Uzumaki alliance, and was promoted to detachment captain. 79 81

After ten years of war exposed the Uchiha elders' incompetence, Fox led a coup and became clan head. He framed his goal as saving the clan from decline rather than simply claiming power. 82

Fox publicly remade the Uchiha's reputation through aid to commoners and peace overtures to neighboring clans, including the Senju. Privately, he prepared expansion toward the Naka River and faked his own assassination to mislead the Senju. 83

He killed Uzuki to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, then used her death and his staged funeral to launch a surprise offensive. The Uchiha captured both Naka River strongholds and inflicted a crushing defeat on the Senju. 85 86

Fox's Mangekyō ability was Izanagi, which allowed him to turn his apparent death into illusion and return to safety. Its repeated use, however, worsened the decline of his eyesight. 90 94

Sha's Defeat

Uchiha Sha became the first female clan head in the clan's history. She presided over the Naka Shrine's rites but refused to kneel before the Sage of Six Paths despite clan custom. 100

Black Zetsu maneuvered multiple clans against the Uchiha, culminating in a decisive battle at Mount Kikyo against the Senju–Uzumaki alliance. Sha was defeated, committed suicide, and Senju Tsuru ordered the Uchiha Clan's annihilation. 130

Konoha Era

In a later era, Elder Manji backed Uchiha Tajima's succession over Uchiha Wei, exiling Wei after he opposed Tajima's appointment. 171 172

As Great Elder, Manji reorganized the Uchiha Clan's resource distribution, defenses, and logistics. Tajima subsequently proposed unifying the Land of Fire's ninja clans through a village built on support rather than indiscriminate slaughter. 174

The Uchiha acquired authorization to build a village, named it Konoha, and invited the major ninja clans to join. The Hyuga Clan was the first to relocate there. 175

Izanagi Crisis and Hawk Purge

Izanagi later spread through the clan, causing users to lose their Sharingan after employing the forbidden technique. The dispute over whether to preserve or destroy it developed into internal strife that Izuna struggled to contain. 220

When Uchiha Tekka, Yashiro, and Inabi attempted to assassinate Manji's son Wanzhao, Manji demanded their arrest and decided the clan's uncontrolled Mangekyō awakenings posed an unacceptable threat. 274 275

Manji and Minato weakened the Uchiha Hawks by sending core radicals on dangerous external missions. Uchiha Itachi then eliminated the remaining Hawk members inside the clan compound; part of the clan survived, though additional killings in the southern district remained unexplained. 277

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan

The Uchiha's hereditary ocular technique ranges from one to three tomoe and grants exceptional visual tracking and combat perception.

• Three-Tomoe users could anticipate Sarutobi's movements and coordinate attacks around his blind spots. 56
• The Sharingan supports synchronized genjutsu, including mental interference against Tailed Beasts. 59
• It can be awakened through intense emotional trauma, as demonstrated by Uchiha Fox's two-tomoe awakening. 79
• Even a Sharingan's enhanced sight may be unable to track opponents vastly faster than its user. 61 283

Mangekyō Sharingan

Some Uchiha awaken a more powerful Sharingan form with individualized ocular techniques.

• Senichi used it to suppress Kurama and attempted to seize control of the Nine-Tails. 59
• Senichi and Madara manifested Susanoo through the Mangekyō Sharingan. 61 214
• Fox awakened his Mangekyō after killing Uzuki Senju. 86
• Mangekyō abilities vary by user; Fox possessed Izanagi, while another Uchiha's Mangekyō could impose a controlling mark upon Obito. 90 330
• Excessive use progressively damages the user's vision and can result in blindness. 59 69 94

Izanagi

A forbidden Uchiha technique attributed to Uchiha Fox.

• Rewrites reality through ocular power, allowing the user to turn a fatal outcome into illusion. 90 185
• Requires the sacrifice of one Sharingan. 185
• Its widespread use caused blindness and divided the clan between those seeking to preserve it and those seeking to destroy it. 220

Fire Style and Clan Combat

Uchiha forces employ coordinated Fire Style techniques alongside ocular powers.

• Documented techniques include Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique, Majestic Destroyer Flame, Fire Claw, and Fire Dragon Technique. 56 59 69 237
• Elite units combined Fire Style barrages with Sharingan genjutsu and sealing barriers during the operation against Kurama. 59
• Uchiha Senichi's Gunbai could reflect ninjutsu and was retained as a prospective clan heirloom. 63

Relationships

• Indra — ancestral progenitor; the clan is identified as his descendant line, and his final instructions helped shape its long hostility toward rival ninja groups. 59 170
• Ninja Sect — former broader institution from which the Uchiha became independent; later conflict with the sect intensified into border warfare. 387 393
• Senju Clan — principal historic rival; Senichi's death at Shuichi's hands entrenched the feud across generations. 69 170
• Uzumaki Clan — alternated between political rival and enemy alliance; the Senju–Uzumaki marriage alliance triggered Fox's escalation of the conflict. 79 82
• Hagoromo Clan — coordinated with the Uchiha in Fox's initial attack on the Senju–Uzumaki wedding alliance. 82
• Konoha — founded through Uchiha-led planning under Tajima and Manji; later became the setting of the clan's Izanagi crisis and Hawk purge. 175 220 277
• Manji — Uchiha elder, Tajima's grandfather, and Konoha's founder; he repeatedly shaped clan succession, policy, and later the purge of its radical faction. 161 172 277
