Background / History
Mikoto first meets Uchiha Yan when he is one year old. She eagerly holds him after Meixin offers, and soon becomes a frequent visitor to his home, treating him with notable affection. 2 4
At thirteen, Mikoto begins using Yan’s medicinal baths to accelerate her growth. Her urgency to become stronger stems from her wish to control her own fate, amid attempts by clan head Uchiha Tianrong to arrange her marriage to Uchiha Fugaku. Mikoto and her grandfather both refuse the proposal. 5
The First Elder later considers pairing Mikoto with Yan because of Yan’s potential, while Yan’s parents approve of leaving the choice to the two of them. Mikoto ultimately declares that she has chosen Yan for life, and the relationship becomes tacitly acknowledged by both families. 6 8 22
Yan guides Mikoto’s cultivation over several years, providing the Spirit-Refining Meditation Method, medicinal baths, body-tempering methods, Taijiquan, and later the Uzumaki Sage Body Cultivation Method. 8 9 38

Personality
Mikoto is determined and self-directed. Her desire for strength is rooted in wanting to be “the master of [her] own fate,” rather than allowing clan politics to decide her future. 5
She is deeply trusting of Yan’s judgment and protective of his safety. When helping him deploy a Flying Raijin marker outside the village, she insists that his original body promise not to leave Konoha. 44
Though affectionate and occasionally playful around Yan, Mikoto is persistent in training. She continues working on Eight Extremes Collapse despite being stalled at its fifth level for roughly a year and a half. 57
During the war, Mikoto remains attentive to dangers surrounding the Uchiha. After identifying Black-and-White Zetsu near the Hidden Mist battlefield through her sensory techniques, she immediately reports the encounter to Yan and agrees to warn the others on the front lines. 122
