Background / History

Chiya was present on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre and entered a mental space where he encountered Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Kaguya explained that she had been hunted, struck by an unknown technique, and awakened within Chiya's body as a weakened remnant form. Chiya, aware of future threats facing the shinobi world, resolved to gain strength as quickly as possible. 1 3 12

While still associated with Konoha and Team 7, Chiya trained his Sharingan, copied material from the Scroll of Seals, and fought alongside Sasuke during the Land of Waves mission. Root later attempted to capture him; Kaguya's chakra healed him during the attack, allowing him to defeat the operatives with Majestic Destroyer Flame. 5 11 12 14

After Danzo became Fifth Hokage, Chiya was declared a wanted criminal. He left Konoha, trained under Tsunade's guidance, learned the Yin Seal and Sage Mode, and began relying less exclusively on his Sharingan. 45 48

Appearance

Chiya is a black-haired Uchiha whose scarlet Sharingan is his most recognizable feature. His appearance changes dramatically when he draws on Kaguya's chakra or assumes a masked identity. 66 107

• Usually carries Futsu no Mitama at his waist. 75
• Wore a conical hat while concealing his identity in Kirigakure. 62
• Used a white mask and black robe while driving Konoha shinobi from a Sand Village outpost. 107
• Wears an Akatsuki cloak and mask after joining the organization. 169
• Sage Mode creates azure markings beneath and around his eyes. 62
• His left palm bears a diamond-shaped chakra mark, later referred to as a Pseudo-Karma. 72 169
• Kaguya transformation gives him white hair, horns, a loose white robe, and Kaguya's facial features. 101

Personality

Early on, Chiya is observant, pragmatic, and playful. He teases Kaguya despite her cold demeanor, jokes with Sasuke, and responds to danger with quick improvisation rather than panic. He is also notably protective of people endangered in front of him, intervening for Mei Terumi's forces, Shion, and civilians despite initially claiming he does not want involvement. 12 20 62 75 76

His bond with Kaguya becomes the central influence on his decisions. Chiya repeatedly pushes himself past exhaustion to protect or restore her, and her departure hardens his resolve to gather every source of power available. 72 125 159 167

By the time he begins collecting Tailed Beasts openly, Chiya has become colder and more uncompromising. He considers the impending Ōtsutsuki threat more urgent than his relationships with Mei Terumi, Gaara, Temari, or Naruto, though he remains troubled by the personal cost of those choices. 162 182 192 195

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan

Chiya uses the Sharingan for perception, prediction, copying information, and combat analysis. His Mangekyō grants destructive space-time techniques and access to Susanoo.

• Copied and transcribed techniques from the Scroll of Seals through visual memory. 5
• Can read attacks that his body is still too slow to evade, a recurring weakness against opponents such as Haku and Might Guy. 14 108
• Broke Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique through overwhelming chakra output. 107
• Heavenly Dominion contracts and crushes a target's surrounding space. 145
• High Plain of Heaven freezes time and space; its range expands when strengthened by the Pseudo-Karma. 95 194
• Repeated ocular-technique use causes extreme chakra depletion, eye pain, and bleeding. 48 145

Susanoo

Chiya's black-red Susanoo serves as both a defense and a large-scale combat weapon.

• Its partial skeletal form blocked Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword. 47
• Withstood the Raikage's Lightning Release at the Five Kage Summit. 183
• Can armor a Sage Art Wood Human, greatly increasing its durability. 188
• Later manifests as a colossal Perfect Susanoo against the Allied Shinobi Forces. 214

Sage Mode and Sage Arts

Tsunade directed Chiya toward Shikkotsu Forest because he needed an alternative to repeatedly exhausting his eyes. In Sage Mode, he gains sensory awareness and access to powerful large-scale techniques. 48 62

• Senses nearby movements, chakra, and attacks before they reach him. 108
• Sage Art: Wind Release: Wild-Draw Flash channels wind chakra through Futsu no Mitama in a devastating draw-slash. 69
• Sage Art: Wild God's Great Rock Seat summons a controllable Stone Man capable of blocking a Tailed Beast Bomb. 71
• Sage Art: Fire Release: Calamity Fire Cascade can be intensified into white flame with Kaguya's chakra. 94
• Sage Art: Wood Release: Wood Human Technique creates enormous wooden humanoids. 188
• Requires natural energy and chakra reserves; Kaguya can help him gather natural energy internally. 70

Flying Thunder God Technique

Kaguya teaches Chiya the Flying Thunder God after studying its scroll. He practices formula placement and repeated teleportation in a rocky valley until he can travel reliably between marked locations. 43 87 88

• Teleports instantly to placed formulas, including formulas on kunai, terrain, and opponents' clothing. 88 109
• Allows escape from spatial capture attempts and lethal attacks. 93 183
• Requires prepared formulas or marked targets.
• Repeated use rapidly drains chakra and mental energy. 88
• Can be countered when opponents destroy or anticipate his landing points. 144

Kaguya's Chakra and Pseudo-Karma

Kaguya's remnant chakra heals, empowers, and sometimes directly controls Chiya's body. Her absorption of Three-Tails chakra created the diamond-shaped palm mark that later became Chiya's remaining connection to her. 12 71 72 169

• White chakra healed his wounds after the Root attack. 12
• Kaguya can take control of his body in emergencies, including suppressing the Three-Tails and firing a chakra cannon from his left hand. 71 95
• The palm mark absorbs chakra more efficiently and was used to seize portions of Three-Tails and One-Tail chakra. 72 96
• The mark enables Kaguya-like transformation and later powers Kaguya Chakra Mode. 101 193
• Kaguya's weakened state limits the power she can manifest, as shown by her incomplete Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. 123

Elemental Ninjutsu and Meteor Release

Chiya is proficient in Fire and Earth Release and develops Meteor Release by attempting to fuse the two chakra natures.

• Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Technique and Great Fireball Technique were among his early combat techniques. 10 11
• Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame defeated Root operatives and was later absorbed by Pain's Preta Path. 12 144
• Meteor Release: Lava Bullet was his first successful Meteor Release technique. 20
• Meteor Release: Lava Swamp was used during the Forest of Death conflict. 26
• Can employ Earth, Fire, and Lightning Release against Tailed Beasts. 71

Wood Release and Tailed Beast Suppression

Chiya possesses Hashirama Cells fused into his body, enabling Wood Release and supporting the later implantation of the Rinnegan. 207 208

• Wood vines restrained numerous summit guards simultaneously. 182
• Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu becomes available when his Kaguya-powered mark enhances Susanoo. 183
• Used Wood Release to trap Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra constructs. 193
• Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands suppressed Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra and rendered him unconscious. 194

Rinnegan

Chiya implants a Rinnegan into his right palm, overcoming its resistance and preventing his Hashirama Cells from growing out of control. 208

• Kaguya provides chakra support through the Pseudo-Karma during the implantation. 208
• The procedure severely injures him and destroys much of the medical room. 208
• He sought the Rinnegan because the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is controlled through it. 162

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Futsu no Mitama — Chiya's primary sword; its scabbard withstands Asuma's wind-chakra blades, while the drawn blade channels Wind Release and Sage Chakra. 69 107
• Formula-marked kunai — used as Flying Thunder God teleportation anchors. 88 144
• Explosive Tags — used for traps, battlefield control, and direct attacks. 19 26
• Steel wire, shuriken, and kunai — standard tools used for curved or coordinated attacks. 14 19

• Haku's training scroll — contains notes on One-Handed Hand Seals and Ice Release chakra nature transformation. 19 20
• Flying Thunder God scroll — studied by Kaguya before she teaches him the technique. 43

Relationships

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki — The remnant consciousness within Chiya's body. They begin as wary strangers, become each other's only family, and develop a deeply protective bond. 3 72 125
• Sasuke Uchiha — Former teammate and fellow Uchiha. They fought Haku together, then shared training notes and an understanding of their mutual pursuit of strength. 14 20
• Naruto Uzumaki — Former teammate whose concern for Chiya persists after his defection. Their later conflict centers on Chiya's treatment of jinchūriki as necessary sources of power. 18 192 195
• Tsunade — Healer and mentor figure who warns him about Mangekyō overuse, teaches him the Yin Seal, and directs him toward Sage Mode training. 43 48
• Mei Terumi — Chiya saves her during Kirigakure's civil unrest and earns her trust, but later destroys that trust by revealing his Tailed Beast plans and Akatsuki ties. 62 162 183
• Gaara — Chiya rescues him during Akatsuki's One-Tail extraction crisis. Gaara promises support, though their relationship becomes strained once Chiya admits absorbing One-Tail chakra. 101 182
• Shion — Shrine Maiden whom Chiya protects from Moryo. They share a vulnerable conversation about her ability to foresee death. 75 81
• Black Zetsu — Mistakes Kaguya's chakra for that of his “Mother.” Chiya exploits this belief to obtain Akatsuki intelligence while withholding Kaguya's true origin. 100 101 163
• Pain — Initially an enemy, then the leader Chiya approaches to gain access to Akatsuki's Tailed Beast operation and the Rinnegan. 144 165 166
• Konan — Guards Chiya through his Rinnegan implantation and remains a trusted ally afterward. 208
• Might Guy — A respectful sparring opponent whose Sixth Gate forces Chiya to recognize the weakness in his taijutsu fundamentals. 108
