History
The Uchiha held considerable strength and controlled Konoha’s Military Police Force, but village leaders kept the clan at a distance. Kagami Uchiha was an exception trusted by the Second Hokage, who recommended him as Li Yi’s teacher. Kagami taught Li Yi Fire Style and genjutsu and gave him access to a clan Fire Style technique 7 8 9 52. After Kagami was killed by the Third Raikage, Uchiha clansmen sought to fight on the Cloud Village front to avenge him 26 28.
Great Elder Uchiha Futo later told Li Yi that the Third Hokage had suppressed the clan and failed to acknowledge its wartime contributions. Futo offered the clan’s support for Li Yi’s bid to become Hokage 57. When Danzo sought Uchiha clansmen for Root, Li Yi instead negotiated to provide Sharingan and warned Futo of Danzo’s intentions 60.
As Fourth Hokage, Li Yi raised the clan’s strained relationship with villagers, which Futo linked to its police work 107. The clan debated giving up the Police Force: some members feared losing both its authority and their jobs, while others saw continued control as a source of resentment 108. The clan relinquished the department, and Li Yi offered places for its ninja in his personal Anbu guard and other Anbu divisions 109.
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan
- The Uchiha’s Sharingan can be used to cast eye-based genjutsu. Kagami caught Li Yi in an illusion during training and used genjutsu against the Mist swordsmen 7 21.
- Kagami’s Mangekyō Sharingan enabled him to manifest Susanoo. Its golden skeletal form defended him from earth spikes and struck the Mist swordsmen 21.
- Kagami’s Mangekyō eyes each held a distinct ocular technique. The eye inherited by Li Yi could forcibly swap its user’s position with another person; it could not swap with an object 27 61.
