History
Original Timeline
The clan was politically isolated within Konoha and openly distrusted by civilians, who blamed the Uchiha for the Nine-Tails' previous rampage. Its members remained divided between hardliners pursuing a coup and those who still hoped for accommodation with the village leadership 1 3 15.
Three days before the planned extermination, Uchiha Xuanshi regained memories of the clan's future destruction. His warnings about Shisui's fate, Danzō's Root, Obito, and Itachi were initially dismissed as madness by the clan's leadership 3 10.
The predicted massacre proceeded: Itachi and Obito slaughtered Uchiha civilians and Police Force members while Root harvested Sharingan from the dead. Xuanshi's sister Akane and fellow officer Tekka were among the victims 5 7.
Group Regression
After Xuanshi forced the clan to experience his memories of the massacre through Mangekyō genjutsu, Fugaku accepted a desperate plan to reverse time. Every available Uchiha, including children and elderly members, gathered beneath Naka Shrine and contributed chakra to the formation 11 17.
When Danzō and Obito attacked the shrine, the clan activated the forbidden technique. Their bodies remained in the original era and were massacred, but their souls escaped through a space-time rift, depriving Danzō of the Sharingan he intended to collect 17 18.
Rebuilding the Clan's Position
In the new timeline, the Uchiha abandoned their immediate coup plans and adopted a strategy of public weakness and hidden preparation. They freed five Root informants from curse marks, then used Shisui's genjutsu to turn them into double agents feeding Danzō false reports 24.
The clan later served as Konoha's vanguard during an S-rank border mission against the Cloud Village. Their coordinated tactics and battlefield cooperation began dismantling the distrust between the Uchiha, Anbu, and other Konoha forces 29 32.
Organization
- Hidden Leaf Police Force — The clan's traditional public institution and principal security force within Konoha 1 29.
- Uchiha Barrier Squad — A thirty-member formation unit led by Yashiro; deployed the Uchiha Flame Formation against the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb 53.
- Susanoo Resonance Formation — A chakra-linking formation directed through Mangekyō Sharingan nodes; its frontline manifestation was Xuanshi's dark-gold Susanoo 34 35 50 59.
- Uchiha Shadow — The former Root apparatus reorganized under Uchiha authority. Led by Tieshan, it conducts covert intelligence operations, including infiltration of Amegakure 99 100.
- Uchiha Special Intelligence Division — The former Root base repurposed as an Uchiha intelligence center after Danzō's downfall 93.

Intelligence, Deception, and Coordination
Under Xuanshi's leadership, the clan repeatedly uses misinformation and disciplined coordination rather than relying solely on individual combat strength.
- Members convincingly feigned drunkenness, disorder, and defeat to mislead Obito's reconnaissance 39.
- Root informants were reconditioned to exaggerate internal Uchiha conflict and reduce Danzō's surveillance 24.
- The clan evacuated its compound before Root could confine it during the Nine-Tails' attack, allowing its members to join village-wide rescue efforts 46 48.

- Susanoo Resonance Formation scroll — An ancient forbidden technique used as the basis for the clan's collective Susanoo 34.
- Uchiha Flame Formation nodes — Prearranged underground chakra points used by the Barrier Squad 53.
- Former Root base — Reassigned as the Uchiha Special Intelligence Division headquarters 93.
Relationships

- Other Konoha clans — Former rivals joined the Resonance Array when the Uchiha neared collapse, transforming the formation into a collective defense of Konoha 63.
- Sunagakure — Uchiha Anbu later operated in the Land of Wind, where Shisui, Itachi, and Xuanshi fought Sasori and Deidara during a mission involving Gaara 115 123.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Night of the Massacre

Counter-Intelligence and Military Reformation
After returning to the past, the clan turns Root spies into double agents, contributes to Konoha's border defense, and begins correcting the Mangekyō's physical limitations through Hashirama Cell Extract 24 29 35.
Nine-Tails' Attack
The clan preemptively evacuates its compound, rescues civilians throughout Konoha, withstands a Tailed Beast Bomb with the Flame Formation, and deploys the Resonance Body against the Nine-Tails and Obito 46 50 53 59.
Redemption and Integration
Its defense of Konoha overturns decades of prejudice. The clan receives the Stalwart Shield medal, gains access to Hokage-directed Anbu positions, and takes responsibility for Konoha's reformed intelligence apparatus 80 85 88 93.
