History

Attempt to win over Liuyun

After Uchiha Liuyun defeated Minato Namikaze and displayed Ice Release, Fuchu visited him and Uchiha Mikoto at home. He offered them two houses near the center of the compound, promised to end Liuyun’s mistreatment, and reassigned his former bully, Uchiha Yuantong, to the clan cemetery. Liuyun declined the houses 9.

Fuchu then offered Liuyun the clan’s highest tier of benefits. Liuyun instead requested Mikoto’s third-tier allowance and training materials, including genjutsu notes and a Shadow Clone Technique scroll. Fuchu accepted and had the scrolls delivered the next morning 10.

Conflict over Fugaku

Fuchu’s son, Uchiha Fugaku, threatened Liuyun while pressuring Mikoto to marry him. Liuyun broke Fugaku’s leg and killed Fuchu’s guard, Uchiha Zhongtong. After learning the extent of Fugaku’s injury and that Liuyun had defeated an Elite Jonin with genjutsu, Fuchu ordered his bodyguards to kill Liuyun 14 15.

Liuyun reached Fuchu’s home first. Fuchu attacked with the Great Dragon Fire Technique, amplified by Uchiha Jitu’s Wind Release, but the confrontation unfolded within Liuyun’s genjutsu. Liuyun revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan and subjected Fuchu to an illusion of prolonged stabbing 16 17.

Fuchu ordered the witnesses to keep the incident secret and abandoned direct retaliation. The next morning, he brought Fugaku to apologize to Liuyun and Mikoto, promised Fugaku would not trouble Mikoto again, and renewed his offer of housing. He later warned Fugaku that he would not seek revenge if Liuyun killed him after another provocation 17 18.

Clan leadership

When Liuyun refused to attend a clan meeting, Fuchu explained his talent and past mistreatment to First Elder Uchiha Oda. Oda ordered the clan to give Liuyun first-class treatment and secretly protect Mikoto 28. During the Second Shinobi World War, Fuchu questioned why the Uchiha remained in Konoha while other clans deployed; Hiruzen Sarutobi told him they were needed as the village’s final line of defense 33.

Fuchu continued to regard Liuyun as a possible successor to the clan leadership. When he asked Liuyun to take over, Liuyun declined but agreed to provide an answer after another three years 66 89.

Uchiha political reform

Liuyun later visited Fuchu and asked him to convene the Uchiha jōnin and elders because the clan’s future, and possibly its survival, was at stake. Fuchu immediately organized the meeting at the Uchiha Shrine 72.

Fuchu initially dismissed the growing hostility toward the Uchiha as an ordinary consequence of serving in the Military Police Force. He also argued that the clan did not need to explain itself to villagers or smaller clans. After Liuyun described the political danger of isolation, Fuchu accepted Liuyun’s reform plan and promised to enforce it throughout the clan 72 73.

The plan required the Uchiha to become more approachable, enforce laws humanely, participate in the community, improve their patrols, and repair their relationship with ordinary villagers. Fuchu also accepted Liuyun’s proposal that the Uchiha and Senju temporarily cooperate against Hiruzen’s faction, particularly after learning of the danger faced by the Senju at the border 73.

Fuchu helped implement a public-relations campaign against the anti-Uchiha smear campaign. Uchiha Marco publicly exposed civilians who had been paid to spread false accusations, and Liuyun credited Fuchu with effectively carrying out the plan. Fuchu later worked with Liuyun on a larger campaign intended to influence public opinion when the Senju returned to Konoha, though he worried that Hiruzen might anticipate their strategy 75.

Succession and retirement

As the years passed, Fuchu continued reporting clan matters to Liuyun and urging him to become clan head. At Liuyun’s departure for the Land of Iron, Fuchu joined the Uchiha crowd seeing him off and offered him Madara’s Gunbai. Liuyun declined because he was not accustomed to fighting with the weapon 89 95.

Three years after their earlier agreement, Fuchu reminded Liuyun of his promise and again asked him to assume leadership. Liuyun accepted the title only on the condition that he would lead in name while Fugaku managed the clan’s affairs. Fuchu accepted the arrangement and announced Liuyun’s succession to the clan 104.

At the inauguration ceremony, Fuchu formally exchanged the office with Liuyun. The sacred Gunbai presented during the ceremony was a replica, because Madara had taken the original. The following day, Liuyun appointed Fugaku to handle the clan’s daily affairs, with Fugaku’s decisions carrying Liuyun’s authority 105.

By the later stages of the Third Shinobi World War, Fugaku had become the active head of the Uchiha Clan, while Liuyun formally stepped away from leadership. Fuchu’s earlier succession effort ultimately left the clan under Fugaku’s administration rather than his own 119.
