| Red Six-Tomoe Rinnegan | 291 | Evolved further, allowing his emotional resonance to interfere directly with opponents' thoughts and memories. |
Background / History
At ten years old, Izuna trained under Madara and sought Qin Mo's help to awaken the Sharingan. He wanted strength to contribute to the Uchiha Clan and protect those close to him, accepting the pain required for its awakening despite Madara's concern. Qin Mo's genjutsu recreated the death of Izuna's mother, leading to his One-Tomoe Sharingan awakening. 4 5
Izuna later underwent five years of special training under Anlong Guyue alongside Crimson Snow. Although he and Madara returned without Mangekyō Sharingan, they had acquired forbidden techniques and secret arts; Izuna remained confident that he could help Madara defeat the Senju. 164
Qin Mo eventually engineered a second illusion in which Izuna watched Hashirama defeat Madara and Tobirama apparently kill him. Izuna's desperation awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but his rage nearly shattered his mind until Qin Mo stabilized him. After waking, Izuna immediately embraced the unharmed Madara. 169
Appearance
Izuna was described as having a childish face at age ten and as a sixteen-year-old combatant by the time he awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. 4 172
- His eyes progress from One-Tomoe Sharingan to Three-Tomoe, Mangekyō, Eternal Mangekyō, and ultimately a red Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. 5 169 202 214 291
- His Mangekyō manifests as a dark-red Susanoo carrying a black-flamed shield and a sword wrapped in purple lightning. 202
Personality
Izuna is intensely devoted to Madara and the Uchiha Clan. His strongest emotional breakthroughs repeatedly stem from believing Madara has died or is threatened, and he willingly takes a fatal attack intended for Second Elder Yan Yue. 169 178
He is confident, excitable, and confrontational in battle. He enjoys provoking opponents—particularly Senju Tobirama—and eagerly sought out the Eight-Tails as a worthy test for his new Eternal Mangekyō power. 173 221
Izuna can also be ruthless toward enemies of the Uchiha. During the Utatane Clan massacre, he showed no pity for Utatane Jiuyun and treated the clan's destruction as the consequence of opposing the Uchiha. 172 His protectiveness, however, is genuine: he risks himself for allies and helps defend Tianyan City alongside Madara when it faces catastrophic attacks. 178 284
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan
Izuna's Sharingan grants powerful perception, dynamic vision, genjutsu, and combat prediction. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan allowed him to follow Tobirama's speed and predict his Flying Thunder God assassination route. 173 178
- His Mangekyō Sharingan manifests a dark-red Susanoo armed with a black-flame shield and purple-lightning sword. 202
- His Eternal Mangekyō can dominate a target's will through genjutsu; he completely immobilized and controlled Gyūki after defeating it. 222
- Its Mirror Reflection ability can distort space to absorb incoming attacks, replicate them, and return them with greater force. Izuna reflected Gyūki's triple Tailed Beast Ball assault back at the Eight-Tails. 221 222
- Eternal Eye and Mirror Reflection severely injured Gyūki before its sealing. 222
Red Rinnegan
Izuna's red Rinnegan retains and amplifies the Uchiha line's spiritual and genjutsu-oriented traits while granting control over physical energy. 279
- Blood-Red Prison: Illusory Realm Descends — traps targets in a blood-sea genjutsu filled with attacking vengeful spirits; it successfully disoriented Sasuke Ōtsutsuki. 272
- Emotional Resonance — senses and disrupts the will or emotional “pulse” within chakra, causing enemy techniques to destabilize or lose strength. 279 280
- Causal interference — can subtly influence local causality, creating small but decisive mistakes or openings in an opponent's actions. 279 280
- After evolving to six tomoe, his emotional resonance can interfere with opponents' thoughts and memories. 291
- His sensory precision allowed him to identify a 0.1-second delay in Huang Style's defensive light film during the final battle. 298
Flying Thunder God Jutsu
Izuna focused on mastering the Three-Stage Flying Thunder God because of its value for assassination, evasive movement, and battlefield reversals. 103
- He used it within Qin Mo's illusion while trying to save the illusory Madara from Tobirama. 169
- He countered Tobirama's Flying Thunder God assault during their duel, reversing their positions and seizing the initiative. 174
- He used it to intercept Tobirama's Water Release: Swirling Water Blade, taking the fatal blow meant for Yan Yue. 178
Sage Arts and Fire Release
Izuna trained in the Human Sage Technique and Three-Stage Flying Thunder God alongside Madara, Qin Mo, and Crimson Snow. 86 103 110
- Sage Art: Fire Release: Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens — launched jointly with Lei Dou against Ōtsutsuki Yashiki and Princess Kaguya. 249
- He was originally offered the S-rank forbidden technique Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens as a technique intended for him and Madara to learn together. 9
Eight-Tails Jinchūriki
After defeating Gyūki, Izuna had the Eight-Tails sealed into his body by Uzumaki Mito using Adamantine Sealing Chains and the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. 222
- The sealed Eight-Tails grants him immense internal power, which Izuna described as sufficient to “shake mountains and stir the sea.” 222
- Madara warned him that tailed-beast chakra is external power and cannot replace mastery of his own abilities. 222
Equipment
- Formless Sword — one of the three divine swords offered by the Shimura couple; Izuna adopted it as a weapon better suited to him than a kunai. 229
- Kunai — used for close combat and in conjunction with Flying Thunder God tactics. 169 174
Relationships
- Uchiha Madara — Older brother and Izuna's deepest bond. Izuna's fear of Madara's death triggered both his Three-Tomoe and Mangekyō awakenings; Madara is fiercely protective of him. 169 179 202
- Qin Mo / Uchiha Mo — Younger brother, mentor, and frequent source of irritation. Qin Mo guided Izuna's Sharingan awakenings, taught him forbidden techniques, revived him after Tobirama's attack, and later trained his Rinnegan. 5 169 179 214 279
- Uchiha Tajima — Father and Uchiha Clan leader. Tajima witnesses Izuna's first Sharingan awakening and entrusts the three brothers with the clan's future. 5 164
- Uchiha Yan Yue — Clan elder whom Izuna saved by intercepting Tobirama's assassination strike, nearly dying in the process. 178 179
- Senju Tobirama — Primary rival and enemy. Their hostility escalates from taunting exchanges to a Flying Thunder God duel and Tobirama's near-fatal attack on Izuna. 173 174 178
- Uzumaki Mito — Sealed the subdued Eight-Tails into Izuna's body at his command. 222
- Uchiha Feixue — Fellow ocular-power wielder and ally; both awakened Mangekyō Sharingan during the battle with Hamura and later advanced to Rinnegan. 202 257
