Background / History

The Uchiha were one of Hidden Leaf's founding clans, but their strength became heavily concentrated in the Police Force, an institution operating outside the Hokage's direct command structure. This concentration, combined with post–Nine-Tails Attack suspicion, left the clan politically isolated within the village. 16 17 25

Rumors that the Nine-Tails had been controlled through Sharingan power intensified hostility toward the clan. Police Force authority was quietly restricted, while many younger Uchiha grew resentful of the village and increasingly hostile toward outsiders. 17

Kamizuki Yu warned Clan Head Fugaku that a masked Sharingan user had orchestrated the Nine-Tails Attack. If that truth became known, the entire clan could be treated as accomplices and face extermination. Yu offered protection in return for an internal purge of radicals, open loyalty to the Fourth Hokage, and cooperation against the masked man. 19

Fugaku accepted the proposal, while Itachi and Shisui agreed to work for peace between the clan and the village. The three later entered Nanga Shrine's secret chamber with Yu, where the clan's stone tablet was interpreted as a warning against losing oneself to power. 20 21

After Danzo's fall and Root's dissolution, Fugaku imposed strict penalties on members advocating hostility toward Hidden Leaf. The clan submitted its Uchiha Clan Loyalty and Reform Proposal, pledging transparency, adherence to village law, and broader participation in village missions. Minato accepted the reforms, restored the Police Force's authority, and opened other departments to qualified Uchiha. 25

Despite this reconciliation, Fugaku ultimately accepted Yu's offer to establish Divine Hidden Village. The clan migrated with him, pledging its future to the new settlement after Yu transformed the Ninja Graveyard into a livable city. 69 71

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

The clan is closely associated with the Sharingan, whose power is described as originating from the heart and capable of both perceiving reality and creating illusion. 25

• The clan's younger members received direct guidance from Yu on avoiding overreliance on ocular power and focusing on discerning the essence behind appearances. 25
• The Nanga Shrine stone tablet's deeper contents are traditionally visible only to Mangekyō Sharingan users, and even they may not fully understand its meaning. 21

Itachi and Shisui awakened Mangekyō Sharingan and received Yu's help in overcoming its side effects. 27

• Both manifested skeletal-stage Susanoo during the Divine Guard's public exercise. 27
