Power Progression

Combat-level descriptions below are Makoto’s assessments, not official promotions. His documented shinobi rank progresses from genin to chunin, then special jonin; his later hidden capabilities substantially exceed the implications of those ranks 30 40 42 100 157 210.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
First physical enhancement	1 2	Obito’s 50% trust in his boast improves strength, speed, and taijutsu. No chakra manifests, and the result falls short of defeating three opponents with one hand.
Flowing Iron Block: 80% manifestation	10	Obito’s belief grants localized hardening, allowing Makoto to harden his right arm without immobilizing the rest of his body.
Flowing Iron Block: 100% manifestation	10	Guy’s belief stacks with Obito’s contribution, completing the manifestation and increasing its strength and durability.
One-Tomoe Sharingan	22	Obito’s 100% trust produces an 80% manifestation of Makoto’s claimed awakening. Makoto conceals the result.
Ten chakra points; superior to ordinary genin	23	Two months of system gains and practice bring his reserves to roughly ten standard Great Fireballs. He becomes strong enough to overwhelm any genin by his own assessment.
Moonwalk	27	Manifests the air-stepping technique after more than a month of preparing others to believe in it. Demonstrates midair movement to Obito and Shisui.
Enhanced Moonwalk and leg conditioning	28	Obito’s imagined version further strengthens Makoto’s muscles, bones, and tendons while improving movement control.
Tempest Kick and Shave; chunin-level combat assessment	30	Shisui’s imagination helps manifest advanced versions. Makoto can shatter rocks with kicks, leap over ten meters, and run with afterimages; he judges himself capable of fighting a chunin.
Permanent body-strengthening cultivation method	30	Obito’s belief manifests the proposed method at 80%, supplying chakra-circulation knowledge for lasting physical improvement.
Life Return 2.0	31	Shisui’s 100% trust manifests the improved version at 70%. It optimizes circulation and bodily revitalization; its chakra-training speed is later described as roughly two to three times normal.
Life Return 7.0	39	Develops his personal version over six months. Chakra-training speed exceeds ten times normal, with major physical improvements and added recovery, fatigue-reduction, and mild toxin-resistance effects.
Advanced Six Powers variants	40	Develops Flash Step, Sky Dance, recoil-enhanced Iron Body, and controllable, multiple, fire-infused Tempest Kick slashes.
Two-Tomoe Sharingan	40	Repeated claims of an evolved Sharingan accumulate small amounts of belief over six months, improving dynamic vision and genjutsu ability.
140 fire units; jonin-level “on paper”	40	System gains and Life Return training raise his chakra above his estimated Kage-level reserve threshold. He assesses his overall strength as jonin-level but acknowledges his lack of lethal combat experience.
Official Konoha genin	42 44	At seven, passes Shinku Yuhi’s three-minute assessment and receives his forehead protector from Hiruzen.
Partial Yin-Yang Release understanding	47	Kakashi’s 50% trust and 90% manifestation rate grant faint theoretical insight, not usable Yin-Yang Release techniques at this stage.
Combat-expert manifestation begins	51	Kakashi’s 80% trust and 90% manifestation value activate Makoto’s claim that he is a combat expert capable of fighting above his level. An intuitive insight appears as the manifestation begins; this passage does not quantify the completed enhancement.
Yin-Yang: Dual Pole Seal development	57 64	Designs a seal to store chakra and life energy for release in battle. Subsequent work establishes unusually effective energy recovery and storage when combined with Life Return 7.0.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan; subsequent mutation	99	His eyes have reached three tomoe before a painful change adds a fourth rather than producing the Mangekyō he expected.
Four-Tomoe Sharingan	99 100	Gains stronger energy perception, fine motion tracking, and automatic resistance to a basic visual-disruption genjutsu. Conceals the unprecedented mutation.
Official chunin	100	His routine now includes demanding chunin missions, laboratory assistance, and independent research. The supplied passages do not show the exact promotion ceremony.
Dual Polarity Seal: first stage	132 133	Releases stored power during his battle with Kakuzu. Yin-Yang enhancement greatly increases speed, strength, chakra output, and elemental techniques, allowing him to break Kakuzu’s Earth Release hardening and destroy a heart-bearing mask.
Official special jonin	157	His and Kakashi’s promotions give them access to Konoha’s core jonin social circle through Minato’s introductions.
Mangekyō Sharingan: Wadatsumi	203	Awakens after a near-death ordeal involving the Golden Circlet. Receives left-eye Fate Recognition and right-eye Causal Disorder, with a six-bladed ocular pattern.
Hidden arsenal of Kage-level modified fighters	209 210 215	Commands powerful experimental subjects and heavily enhanced followers. This is an expansion of his controlled forces, not evidence that he personally possesses all their kekkei genkai.
Technical framework for induced Mangekyō awakening	214	Itachi’s growing trust manifests genuine knowledge supporting the beginnings of an externally induced awakening framework. A complete, reliable Mangekyō-induction procedure is not demonstrated.

Background / History

Reincarnation and the approaching war

Makoto is a reincarnated Naruto fan who retains knowledge of the original story and other fictional techniques. His Uchiha parents died long before his Academy training, leaving him to live alone 11 23 44.

During his first chakra lesson, he realizes that the Third Shinobi World War is approximately five years away. He expects wartime schooling to put him on the battlefield while still a child, making rapid growth a matter of survival. His concern later extends to friends who could also be sent to war 2 34.

Academy training and surveillance

On the first day of term, Makoto stops Aoki and his followers from bullying Obito. He then exploits Obito’s belief in a boast to obtain his first physical enhancement. After defeating Aoki, he agrees to train Obito for two hours after school, beginning with twenty laps of conditioning 1 5.

Makoto gradually builds a training circle around Obito, Guy, and Shisui. Their progress both strengthens his companions and reinforces the credibility needed by his system 10 26 39.

His Academy results attract Hiruzen’s attention and an order for weekly surveillance. Makoto initially suspects Danzō’s involvement in the watchers he senses, but cannot reliably identify or evade them. When surveillance interferes with training, he appeals to clan head Yashiro, prompting the elders to confront the Hokage 19 22 25 26.

After his complaint, the conspicuous feeling of being watched disappears. He remains unsure whether surveillance has ended or merely become more discreet 27.

Orochimaru’s apprenticeship

Makoto’s effortless victory over Asuma draws renewed scrutiny. Orochimaru subsequently approaches him at night, sees through his carefully constructed image of modest talent, and tests his concealed abilities with summoned snakes 33 34 35.

Although Makoto survives the test, Orochimaru easily reads his attacks. The encounter exposes weaknesses in Makoto’s range, versatility, expenditure, and ability to hit evasive opponents. Orochimaru offers advanced instruction and early graduation 35 36.

Makoto accepts the apprenticeship for its training opportunities and protection from Danzō, while remaining wary of Orochimaru’s future defection and experiments. He negotiates a six-month graduation delay, outwardly claiming that he wants to finish the Academy year with his friends 38.

Graduation and first mission

At seven, Makoto takes an early-graduation assessment against Shinku Yuhi. Rather than defeat the jonin outright, he survives the required three minutes by combining fire techniques, Flash Step, and a concealed response to genjutsu. He then becomes a Konoha genin 41 42.

Danzō fails to secure Makoto directly for Root, but obtains a Root-trained member’s placement on Orochimaru’s squad. The completed team consists of Makoto, Kakashi, and Kazuya under Orochimaru 43 46.

Their first assignment becomes reconnaissance along the Land of Fire’s eastern border. Unknown to Makoto, Danzō orders Kazuya to cooperate with supposed Kumogakure shinobi and capture him, alive or dead 47 48.

During Orochimaru’s forced march, Makoto conceals how easily he maintains the pace. At the destination village, he notices that supposedly injured civilians look healthy and have clean, bloodless bandages. When Orochimaru leaves the younger ninja to investigate, Makoto suspects a setup and chooses to play along 48 49.

The investigation becomes a real battle. Makoto frees a captured Kakashi, who is too weakened to use chakra, and fights their attackers alone. When dozens of disguised ninja unleash a combined elemental barrage, Makoto carries Kakashi into the air with Moonwalk and uses his teammate’s trust to manifest a claim of exceptional combat expertise. Kazuya later openly declares that Danzō ordered him to capture Makoto 51 53.

The squad survives, and the attackers—including Kazuya and more than a dozen Root operatives—are killed. Hiruzen responds by confining Danzō and Root to their headquarters for six months. Homura and Koharu unsuccessfully demand that Makoto be separated from Orochimaru 61.

Makoto undergoes questioning and confinement after returning. Following three days of confinement, Orochimaru grants him and Kakashi a break from missions and provides personal instruction. Makoto postpones an offered Ryūchi Cave contract and privately decides not to sign it, considering the Sage Mode trial too dangerous for his current strength 63 64.

Chunin examinations and independent research

With Harada Yuichi joining Makoto and Kakashi, the squad enters the chunin examinations. Makoto recognizes the written test’s information-gathering trap and leaves risky questions unanswered rather than cheating. The team quickly completes the Forest of Death, and Makoto wins his preliminary match in under three seconds. He interprets the tournament’s favorable clan matchups and his finals pairing against Kakashi as deliberate political arrangements 77.

His subsequent research draws on Mukade’s technical documents, particularly puppet engineering, Dragon Vein energy inertization, and chakra-to-mechanical-energy conversion. Makoto considers these materials valuable foundations for scientific ninja tools and biomechanical fusion 84.

By the time his Sharingan mutates to four tomoe, his routine is divided among chunin missions, Orochimaru’s laboratory, and independent work at a secret base. He studies biology while pursuing ninja tools, puppets, cloning, and Dragon Vein energy storage 99 100.

Personal followers and clan ambitions

When Yashiro and the elders praise Makoto, Obito, and Shisui as the clan’s promising younger generation, Makoto outwardly accepts their promises of resources and protection. Privately, he believes they knowingly abandoned him during earlier threats. He resolves to take control of the clan and remove its elders rather than simply inherit their approval 71.

Makoto later begins building a reliable personal organization. He selects the orphaned Nako as an operative and prospective scientific-ninja-tool tester, judging her isolation and need for support useful for cultivating loyalty. He also plans research into methods of stimulating Sharingan growth, using Obito and Shisui’s trust to help manifest a safer protocol 102 104.

Nako becomes an obedient subordinate through his four-tomoe Sharingan, psychological guidance, and loyalty conditioning. By his ninth birthday, she helps manage his household and identify resilient, vulnerable clan orphans for recruitment. Shun and Entetsu subsequently approach him for acceptance and protection 106 116.

His support is not limited to recruitment. During Sakumo’s public disgrace, Makoto monitors the escalating condemnation through Moyu’s disguised clones. His later encouragement helps Sakumo recover some vitality, and Sakumo sends his thanks through Kakashi 104 114.

Kakuzu, wartime reputation, and the Land of Rain

Makoto confronts Kakuzu while giving Nako and two companions time to flee. He treats the encounter as his first true Kage-level battle, relying on his knowledge of Earth Grudge Fear, elemental-switching delays, and Kakuzu’s hearts. After testing the opponent with ordinary techniques and ninja tools, he releases the first stage of his Dual Polarity Seal and overwhelms Kakuzu’s defenses 130 131 132 133.

By a later period, Kakuzu is imprisoned in Makoto’s base. Makoto uses the captive as an unusually unrestricted target for extravagant system claims involving sealing, natural energy, and chakra-to-vitality conversion; the supplied passage does not establish that every proposed claim successfully manifests 160.

His growing combat reputation earns him the unwanted Sunagakure title “Konoha Black Crow.” He continues training Obito, Kakashi, and Guy, combining demanding instruction with shared meals at his restaurant. Promotion to special jonin also brings him into Konoha’s core jonin circle through Minato 153 157.

In Amegakure, Makoto keeps his real body hidden while directing intelligence gathering and using a Shadow Clone near his inn. He suspects that Danzō’s communications have intensified Hanzō’s surveillance. Yahiko questions his motives, leading to a candid debate about whether dialogue and goodwill can overcome entrenched interests and unequal power. Makoto respects Yahiko’s sincerity and offers help, although he later recognizes Hanzō’s proposed cooperation with the Akatsuki as a trap 169 173.

Black Zetsu independently notices Makoto’s talent and directs White Zetsu to monitor him and his companions. Makoto is unaware of this additional surveillance at the time 169.

Danzō eventually dies in the Land of Rain, with Makoto coldly observing and rejecting his final self-justifications. Orochimaru later suspects that Makoto knows more about Danzō’s disappearance than he admits, but declines to investigate further and prioritizes their teacher–student and research relationship 186 187 188.

Frontline service and Mangekyō awakening

As Konoha enters the war in earnest, Makoto and Orochimaru exchange research on cellular activity, chakra-attribute fusion, and human modification. Makoto has already gained practical experience implanting asura cells into Pakura 188.

On the Kumogakure front, Makoto is temporarily assigned alongside Hyuga Keisuke and Kano Yuya. He interprets their Byakugan and “breath pulse” bloodline abilities as potential research opportunities, while worrying about a predicted painful event 197.

A subsequent near-death ordeal involving the Golden Circlet awakens his Mangekyō Sharingan. Pakura protects him and recovers the destroyed Tufeng’s remains on his orders. Makoto discovers Wadatsumi’s prediction and causality-disruption abilities, initially regrets not receiving the mind-control power he wanted, and then recognizes their strategic value 203 204.

Returning with Pakura disguised as “Uchiha Yeko,” Makoto reports an elite Kumogakure ambush and claims his other teammates were killed. He conceals his Mangekyō by presenting an apparent three-tomoe awakening. Kumogakure’s account of his survival against the A-B Combo spreads, greatly strengthening his public reputation and clan prestige 204.

After recuperation, Orochimaru assigns him less tempting teammates, which Makoto interprets as a quiet warning about his former companions’ disappearance. Over several months in the Land of Hot Water, Makoto combines Wadatsumi’s foresight with Pakura’s strength to hunt enemy shinobi and collect rare tissues, eyes, and hearts. He returns to Konoha when the front quiets, while the Uchiha contingent comes home with only 36 of its original 60 elite members 205.

Hidden influence during the Third Shinobi World War

Back in his underground laboratory, Makoto inventories captured Kumogakure shinobi, including Toroi, preserved kekkei genkai samples, and more than twenty living jonin hearts. He pursues enhanced Earth Grudge Fear bodies and cellular-level bloodline fusion rather than relying on simple transplantation 206 207 208.

While Makoto concentrates on research, Obito is crushed during the Kannabi Bridge mission and presumed lost; Kakashi returns with Obito’s transplanted Sharingan. Makoto feels subdued sadness but believes Obito survived and was taken for manipulation. Shisui meanwhile awakens his own Mangekyō and earns the reputation “Body Flicker Shisui” 209.

Makoto’s hidden reinforcements materially alter the clan’s wartime prospects. A replacement Tufeng, modified from Toroi, deploys chakra-absorbing Dragon Crystal Sand through Magnet Release. Pakura, operating as Number Three/Yako, receives modified Byakugan. Nako, Shun, and Entetsu gain forcibly induced three-tomoe Sharingan and detachable Earth Grudge Fear tools. These fighters reduce Uchiha casualties and contribute devastating compound attacks while concealing their capabilities from the village 209 210.

By Konoha Year 48, fourteen-year-old Makoto commands several Kage-level modified subjects and possesses extensive bloodline research. He keeps A Mu, a powerful multi-kekkei-genkai subject, hidden as a trump card and living research resource 210 215.

Nine-Tails attack and postwar Uchiha research

Makoto uses Moyu to observe the preparations for Kushina’s childbirth and identifies Obito near the barrier through Kamui’s spatial disturbances. He deliberately does not warn Minato or Konoha. After the Nine-Tails attack, he concludes that Minato’s death and the resulting instability offer greater opportunities for his research and system than preserving the village’s stability would 210 212.

He plans eventually to exploit Naruto’s importance to the story while preserving Naruto’s expected developmental path. More than six months later, he has still not approached the infant, considering direct manipulation premature 212.

As Fugaku succeeds Yashiro as clan head, Makoto meets the newly graduated Itachi through Shisui. Early fabricated advice earns little trust from the perceptive child. Makoto changes his approach by revealing his Mangekyō and discussing ocular control, Susanoo, and Yin Release with Shisui in Itachi’s presence. The revelation transforms Itachi’s skepticism into curiosity and respect 212 213.

Makoto subsequently presents speculative research on externally induced Mangekyō awakening as an advanced scientific investigation. Itachi’s belief enables the system to provide genuine foundational knowledge. Makoto also promotes ideas of power and clan glory during their training 214.

When Nako reports Orochimaru’s departure from the village, Makoto decides to settle the relationship before his former master’s expected missing-nin designation damages his own standing. Later, Fugaku asks him to become Itachi’s teacher, considering him powerful and sufficiently distinctive; Makoto initially tries to suggest Shisui or Hiruzen instead 214 221.

Land of Fields expansion and Sasori encounter

Makoto plans a village entirely under his control in the Land of Fields, intended to serve as a larger secret base, research center, and arms factory. He is prepared to leave the daimyo as a nominal ruler if cooperative, or replace him with an obedient alternative 223.

In Konoha, Hiruzen separately proposes that Makoto lead an elite border-deterrence force following Fugaku’s recommendation. Makoto’s reputation is now sufficient for the Hokage to consider him qualified for such a command 226.

During a confrontation with Sasori, Makoto presents himself as a Land of Fields official rather than openly identifying as a Konoha Uchiha. Activating his existing Mangekyō lets him analyze poisoned needles, a rear stinger attack, and concealed puppet mechanisms with precise, economical evasions. Sasori recognizes the eyes and reassesses him as a serious opponent 230.

Makoto’s organization continues to expand. A Mu’s later upgrade combines Shikotsumyaku and Wood Release at more than 97% compatibility, while additional young Uchiha—including Seiji—volunteer to work under Makoto. He welcomes them into his village and privately considers how to mold newcomers into dependable followers 235.

Appearance

• Eyes: Naturally black. During his initial Sharingan examination, he sees a single tomoe around each pupil; the eyes later advance to two tomoe 23 40.
• Later Sharingan forms: Progresses through three tomoe to an unprecedented four-tomoe mutation, which he conceals 99 100.
• Mangekyō pattern: Wadatsumi has a distinctive six-bladed pattern, resembling Shisui’s design with two additional blades. He can conceal the true form by presenting an apparent three-tomoe Sharingan 203 204.
• Hair: Black 230.
• Clothing: Dresses in a classic Uchiha outfit after graduation 44. When posing as a Land of Fields official against Sasori, he wears neither standard Konoha equipment nor an identifying Uchiha crest 230.
• Forehead protector: Wears Konoha’s protector around his forehead after considering where to place it 44.

Personality

Makoto is calm, blunt, and calculating. He deliberately establishes a formidable Academy persona, manages exam performance to avoid excessive attention, and frequently acts younger or more naïve than he really is. His public politeness often conceals a detailed assessment of another person’s usefulness or danger 2 32 38 49.

His mentorship mixes genuine care with self-interest. He adapts instruction to Obito’s strengths, worries about injuries, and wants his friends to survive the coming war. At the same time, he treats their trust as a resource and privately fears that a student’s public failure could damage his own credibility 10 15 28 34 39.

Makoto is skeptical of the Will of Fire and deeply distrustful of Konoha’s leadership. He interprets the Military Police Force’s role as a political trap for the Uchiha and intends to reshape Shisui’s trusting worldview. His hostility does not prevent him from recognizing individual kindness: he respects Teuchi’s generosity and sincerely thanks Nakamura for caring about him 20 21 26 44.

Despite his confidence, he recognizes the difference between powerful abilities and practical experience. He calls himself a jonin “on paper,” acknowledging that he has never killed anyone and cannot assume parity with veteran fighters at that stage 40.

His caution persists as his power grows. He declines the risks of the Ryūchi Cave trial, hides his unprecedented four-tomoe eyes, and initially struggles with the pressure of fighting a veteran Kage-level opponent. Information advantage, preparation, and secrecy are central to his approach 64 100 130 132.

Genuine attachment occasionally conflicts with his manipulative habits. He briefly feels guilty when he recognizes that Kakashi’s friendship already exists independently of a system-induced “best friends” claim. His ninth-birthday celebration likewise gives him a rare sense of warmth and belonging 61 116.

His later scientific ambition becomes openly ruthless. He treats captive shinobi, corpses, bloodline tissues, and even some of his own creations as resources. Nako’s vulnerability is useful to him as a basis for loyalty, and Tufeng’s destruction matters chiefly for the recoverable material it leaves behind 104 203 206.

His relationship with the Uchiha is similarly mixed. He resents its elders and wishes to control its future, at times appearing indifferent to its losses. Nevertheless, his secret technology and modified fighters preserve more of the clan’s strength during the war. Protection, experimentation, and personal control overlap rather than functioning as separate motives 71 205 209 210.

By the Nine-Tails attack, his opportunism extends to deliberately withholding intervention in a known catastrophe. He regards Minato’s death as strategically beneficial and plans to use Naruto’s future importance for his own ends. He also explicitly refrains from preventing Obito’s transformation into Tobi because he does not want the story to diverge too widely 210 212 220.

Abilities & Skills

Lie-Into-Reality System

Turns claims others believe into real enhancements, knowledge, or abilities 1 22 47.

• Belief-dependent results: The listener’s understanding determines what manifests. His first strength boast produces no chakra because Obito does not imagine him possessing any 2.
• Stacking: Belief from different people can reinforce the same lie, as demonstrated by Flowing Iron Block 10 11.
• Character weighting: Reported manifestation rates are 80% for Obito, 70% for Guy and Shisui, and 90% for Kakashi. These are distinct from the listener’s trust percentage 22 30 47.
• Imagination affects quality: Shisui’s richer understanding helps produce advanced techniques despite his lower manifestation rate than Obito’s 30 31.
• Daily limit: The documented system permits one activation per day 1 47.
• Not restricted to Makoto: His claim about Moyu grants the crow Yin Release chakra and weak-chunin-level strength 34.
• Incomplete understanding remains a limit: His initial Yin-Yang Release boast supplies principles without usable techniques 47.
• Combat expertise: Kakashi’s 80% trust activates a claim that Makoto can fight above his level, producing immediate intuitive insight as manifestation begins 51.
• Background-character limitations: A previously tested child produces only a 0.17% manifestation rate, demonstrating the large disparity between original-story characters and insignificant background figures. Makoto therefore does not initially value Nako as a belief source 102.
• Relationship claims: After using a “best friends” claim on Kakashi, Makoto concludes that any effect is difficult to distinguish because genuine friendship has already formed 61.
• Knowledge and material creation: Later manifestations support scientific research and create Dragon Crystal Sand, including a toxin-infused variant absent from his knowledge of the original Naruto world 188 209.
• Speculation made substantive: Itachi’s belief in Makoto’s proposed Mangekyō research supplies genuine knowledge for an initial technical framework, rather than merely validating his existing conjecture 214.

Life Return

A chakra-circulation cultivation method that permanently improves the body rather than merely enhancing it during combat. Makoto develops it after proposing a Physique Enhancement Technique 28 30 31.

• Life Return 7.0: His personal version increases chakra-training speed by more than ten times and improves muscle strength, nerve responses, bone density, and cellular vitality 39.
• Additional benefits: Rapid recovery, reduced fatigue, and mild toxin resistance 39.
• Life Return 2.1: The restrained version given to Obito, Guy, and Shisui trains at approximately 3.5 times normal speed 39.
• Endurance: Lets him remain fresh during a march that severely exhausts Kakashi and Kazuya. Orochimaru observes that his stamina exceeds that of many jonin 48 49.
• Controlled distribution: Makoto deliberately withholds his strongest version and refuses to spread the method throughout Konoha 31 39.
• Burst-power limitation: Life Return primarily supports cultivation and permanent development; it does not by itself provide the instantaneous, severalfold combat surge he seeks from a separate seal technique 57.
• Seal synergy: Life Return 7.0 enables unusually rapid recovery and storage of chakra and life energy in the Dual Polarity Seal 64.
• Kakashi’s version: By the encounters with Sunagakure shinobi, Kakashi has learned Life Return 2.5 148.

Six Powers and Chakra-Enhanced Taijutsu

Makoto adapts techniques remembered from fiction into chakra-based combat, eventually developing four signature branches 11 14 40.

• Iron Body / Iron Block: Hardens the body for defense. Ordinary full-body hardening restricts movement 10 24.
• Flowing Iron Block: Hardens selected areas while leaving the rest mobile. Localized use consumes less chakra, but requires precise control 10 25.
• Recoil-enhanced Iron Body: Forms a chakra layer that returns 30% of an incoming strike’s force to the attacker 40.
• Shave: Flash Step: Uses repeated rapid ground strikes and chakra bursts for extreme speed. Its evolved form allows trajectory adjustments and cornering 40.
• Moonwalk: Sky Dance: Uses timed chakra bursts beneath the feet for aerial movement, repeated direction changes, brief hovering, and combinations with other attacks 28 40.
• Tempest Kick: Launches vacuum slashes. Later versions vary slash size, fire several in succession, and incorporate Fire Release chakra 35 40.

These techniques combine physical strength with chakra rather than relying on the body alone. During Orochimaru’s test, Makoto identifies heavy expenditure, predictable attacks, and difficulty hitting highly evasive opponents as major weaknesses 35 36.

He later teaches Shave to Kakashi and Guy and includes Six Powers fundamentals in the training of Nako, Shun, and Entetsu. By that period, he assesses the three followers as upper-chunin-level individually and capable of handling an ordinary jonin through cooperation 153 160.

Sharingan

Makoto obtains his first two documented Sharingan stages through accumulated belief rather than a conventional emotional awakening. His later four-tomoe mutation and Mangekyō awakening involve painful changes and a near-death ordeal 22 40 99 203.

• One tomoe: Sharpens detail and movement perception enough to track and catch a fly 23.
• Two tomoe: Further improves dynamic vision and substantially strengthens genjutsu 40.
• Illusion detection: Recognizes Shinku’s Hell Viewing Technique during his graduation assessment and conceals that he has resisted or broken its effect 42.
• Cost: Continuously consumes chakra while active 23.
• Four-tomoe energy perception: Can faintly see Dragon Vein energy flowing through power lines behind walls 99.
• Four-tomoe motion tracking: Distinguishes an insect’s wing trajectory at approximately forty beats per second 99.
• Four-tomoe genjutsu resistance: A basic visual-disruption illusion cast on himself breaks almost immediately 99.
• Concealment: Finds no precedent for the four-tomoe form and initially avoids exposing or experimenting freely with its unknown ocular abilities 100.
• Conditioning application: Uses his four-tomoe Sharingan alongside psychological guidance to establish Nako’s obedience 106.

Mangekyō Sharingan: Wadatsumi

Wadatsumi awakens following Makoto’s near-death ordeal. Its abilities reflect his frustration with misfortune and desire to change events rather than the mind-control technique he consciously hoped to acquire 203.

Eye / Ability	Documented function
Left eye — Fate Recognition	Briefly predicts a target’s likely actions. Makoto later uses this foresight to improve his battlefield hunts 203 205.
Right eye — Causal Disorder	Manipulates causal connections to produce accidents and chaos 203.
Ocular presentation control	Lets him conceal his actual eye state and present an apparently conventional three-tomoe awakening to Homura and Orochimaru 204.
Threat analysis	Helps him interpret Sasori’s concealed attack trajectories and puppet mechanisms, permitting minimal-motion evasions without visible ninjutsu or substitution 230.

Makoto accumulates extensive knowledge about Susanoo construction, chakra shaping, and advanced Yin Release through research and manifestation. He shares this knowledge with Shisui and Itachi, but the supplied passages do not demonstrate his own completed Susanoo 213 214.

His research also explores externally triggering Mangekyō awakening through genjutsu, drugs, or Yin Release chakra. Itachi’s trust provides an initial genuine technical framework; reliable completion remains unshown 214.

Fire Release

Makoto expands his repertoire from Academy-level fire techniques to enhanced B-rank attacks 40.

Technique	Documented application
Great Fireball Technique	Repeatedly used during his graduation assessment to shape the opening of the fight; later provides cover while freeing Kakashi 41 42 51.
Phoenix Flower Fire Technique	Scatters numerous fireballs to force attackers to retreat during his first serious battle 51.
Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson	Combines Phoenix Flower Fire with shuriken 40.
Great Flame Bullet	Compressed fireball with a large blast radius; Makoto enhances its destructive scale 40.
Great Dragon Fire Technique	His enhanced version produces five fire dragons rather than three 40.
Majestic Destroyer Flame	Costs five of his personally defined fire units 40.
Majestic Destroyer Flame Calamity	Costs eight fire units 40.

His fire unit measures the chakra needed for one standard Great Fireball. At seven, he possesses 140 units; the rank comparisons he makes from that total are his own estimates 40.

Yin-Yang Release and Dual Polarity Seal

Initially possessing only faint Yin-Yang Release insight, Makoto later designs a seal to compensate for his lack of instant explosive power. The technique appears under several translated names, including Yin-Yang: Dual Pole Seal, Bipolar Seal, Dual Extremes Seal, and Dual Polarity Seal 47 57 64 132 133.

• Energy storage: Seals away chakra and life energy during ordinary activity for later combat release 57 64.
• Design goals: Accelerated chakra flow, stronger ninjutsu, greatly increased taijutsu speed, and instant-burst applications. These are initially proposed effects rather than proof that every feature is already complete 57.
• First-stage activation: Demonstrated against Kakuzu, producing overwhelming speed and enough physical force to crack Earth Release-hardened skin 132 133.
• Elemental amplification: Yin-Yang-enhanced Earth Release breaks through a powerful Wind Release attack despite the usual elemental disadvantage, destroying Kakuzu’s wind mask and one heart 133.

Other Elemental Techniques and Tactical Combat

• Water Formation Wall: Blocks the fire component of Kakuzu’s combined wind-and-fire assault while Makoto evades the strongest wind pressure 131.
• Water Dragon: Directs water into the ground around Kakuzu, combining its eruption with pre-positioned explosive tags to obscure the battlefield 131.
• Enhanced Earth Release fist: Uses a Yin-Yang-empowered earth attack to penetrate Kakuzu’s wind assault and shatter a heart-bearing mask 133.
• Layered traps: Combines elemental attacks, ninja tools, explosive tags, visual obstruction, and close observation of chakra-flow delays 131 132.
• Information advantage: Uses his knowledge of Kakuzu’s five hearts and Earth Grudge Fear to prepare against abilities his opponent does not know Makoto understands 130 132.

Genjutsu and Basic Ninja Skills

• Conventional genjutsu: Acquires Hell Viewing Technique, Fox in the Mist Technique, and Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique. Casting through his Sharingan makes them more effective 40.
• Transformation: Reproduces Obito’s skin texture, hair sheen, and expression with unusually fine precision 23.
• Academy techniques: Practices Transformation, Clone, and Substitution while considering unconventional applications 23 24.
• Uchiha combat proficiency: Uses the system to obtain Uchiha Shurikenjutsu proficiency and Uchiha-style taijutsu 23.
• Instruction: Uses conditioning, demonstrations, chakra analogies, and tailored encouragement to train his companions 5 11 15 24.
• Shadow Clones: Employs clones for subordinate training and to maintain a public presence while keeping his real body hidden 126 169.
• Sensory ability: Contributes sensing to the squad’s rapid progress through the Forest of Death 77.
• Specialized training plans: Emphasizes chakra precision and perception for Nako, while directing Shun toward speed, efficiency, and fine elemental application 126.

Crow-Based Reconnaissance and Remote Operations

Moyu develops from a weak-chunin-level speaking crow into an enormous four-eyed summon with substantial offensive and reconnaissance abilities. Makoto strengthens it through training and chakra nourishment 34 149.

• Thousand Feather Kill: Moyu releases a storm of Wind-enhanced feathers that nearly breaks the combined defenses of three Sunagakure jonin 149.
• Disguised crow clones: Monitor the Hatake residence, Mission Hall, and village gathering places, supplying recorded images and audio 104.
• Crow-Eye Reflection Technique: Allows Makoto to control crow clones remotely from a first-person perspective 160.
• Mission substitution: Transforms a controlled crow clone into his appearance to perform ordinary patrol work. Intense combat requiring his real body’s precise control remains a limitation 160.
• Long-range vision sharing and concealment: Enables discreet observation of Kushina’s childbirth barrier and its defenses 210.
• Spatial-disturbance sensing: Moyu detects Kamui’s characteristic spatial ripples, allowing Makoto to identify the hidden Obito 210.

Scientific Research and Human Modification

Makoto develops an extensive research program combining manifested knowledge, Orochimaru’s instruction, acquired technical documents, and experimentation. His work includes scientific ninja tools, puppets, energy storage, cloning, cellular fusion, and artificial enhancement of bloodline abilities 64 84 100 188 208.

• Dragon Vein technology: Studies energy inertization, storage, and efficient chakra-to-mechanical-energy conversion for tools and puppet cores 84 210.
• Asura-cell implantation: Successfully implants asura cells into Pakura, contributing to his practical knowledge of cell fusion 188.
• Sharingan stimulation: Develops methods that forcibly awaken Nako, Shun, and Entetsu’s eyes and advance them to three tomoe. The process succeeds but is difficult and risky 104 209.
• Modified Byakugan: Equips Pakura/Yako with specially modified eyes, improving perception alongside Scorch Release and taijutsu 209 215.
• Earth Grudge Fear engineering: Uses hearts, enhanced bodies, and detachable puppet tools to supply chakra, execute elemental techniques, and enable independent support attacks 206 209.
• Dragon Crystal Sand: Manifests hard, malleable, chakra-absorbing material highly responsive to Magnet Release; a concealed toxin-infused version adds lethal surprise attacks 209.
• Cellular bloodline fusion: Turns from simple transplantation toward combining bloodlines at the cellular level into new fused abilities 208.
• Multi-kekkei-genkai subjects: A Mu initially combines Transparent Release and Storm Release with her natural Lightning Release, later gains five kekkei genkai hearts, and undergoes a further Shikotsumyaku/Wood Release upgrade 210 215 235.

The powers of his modified subjects are not automatically Makoto’s personal abilities. His demonstrated advantage lies in creating, controlling, equipping, and deploying them 209 210 215.

Relationships

• Obito Uchiha — Close friend, student, and primary source of belief. Makoto defends him from bullying, restores his confidence, and repeatedly exploits his trust to manifest abilities 1 5 15 22. He later motivates Obito through fabricated claims about Rin’s concern. After Kannabi Bridge, he believes Obito survived under Madara’s influence, but does not prevent his transformation into Tobi or warn Konoha of the Nine-Tails attack 153 209 210 220.
• Might Guy — Friend and taijutsu student. His enthusiasm completes Flowing Iron Block’s manifestation, while his persistence and aptitude make him easier to teach than Obito 10 11. Makoto continues supervising his Shave training and encourages a taijutsu-centered path suited to his strengths 153.
• Shisui Uchiha — Younger clansman and student whose imagination produces especially advanced manifestations. Makoto enjoys his company but also values his prominence as cover and seeks to alter his faith in the Will of Fire 26 30 31. Their bond remains strong after Shisui earns greater battlefield fame. Makoto reveals his Mangekyō to ease Shisui’s concerns and establish a collaborative exchange on ocular abilities 209 213 214.
• Orochimaru — Teacher and squad instructor. His mentorship provides training and political protection, but Makoto fears his experimental interests and future defection 35 38 44. They later become research collaborators, exchanging useful knowledge while maintaining mutual suspicion. Orochimaru declines to pursue his suspicions concerning Danzō, but quietly curbs Makoto’s access to tempting teammates. When Orochimaru leaves Konoha, Makoto resolves to settle their relationship before guilt by association threatens him 187 188 205 214.
• Kakashi Hatake — Initially a squadmate whom Makoto sees as a valuable system target. Kakashi’s partial belief grants Yin-Yang Release insight; he later awkwardly attempts friendship at Hiruzen’s request 46 47 48. Makoto frees and protects him during the Root ambush, and recognizes that their shared experiences have produced genuine friendship. Kakashi becomes a Life Return and Shave student, while Makoto’s encouragement also benefits Sakumo 51 61 114 148 153.
• Kazuya — Root-trained squadmate and concealed threat. Makoto suspects his affiliation before Danzō’s capture orders are revealed 46 48. Kazuya eventually declares those orders openly and dies during the failed attack on Orochimaru’s team 53 61.
• Harada Yuichi — Later squadmate alongside Kakashi. His Water Release, shurikenjutsu, and adaptable fundamentals support the team through the chunin examinations and subsequent missions. Makoto conceals his more disturbing experimental intentions from both Yuichi and Kakashi 77 149.
• Kurenai Yuhi — Classmate and romantic interest. She explains chakra control to him, responds favorably to his teasing husband question, and watches his match with Asuma with interest 13 33. At Makoto’s ninth-birthday party, she privately glares at Nako, suggesting tension over Nako’s closeness to him 116.
• Asuma Sarutobi — Rival motivated by jealousy over Kurenai. Makoto defeats him decisively in the Academy finals 13 33. Asuma later attends his ninth-birthday celebration 116.
• Shinku Yuhi — Kurenai’s father and graduation examiner. Initially suspicious of Makoto, he ultimately recognizes his talent and passes him 41 42.
• Teacher Nakamura — Academy teacher whom Makoto sincerely respects for his conscientiousness and kindness. Supports his graduation and hosts a farewell dinner 42 44 46.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi — Hokage who orders surveillance but blocks Danzō’s direct attempts to seize Makoto for Root. Approves Orochimaru’s mentorship and presents Makoto’s forehead protector 19 37 43 44. He punishes Root after its attack and resists attempts to change Makoto’s instructor. Makoto nonetheless regards him as a calculating political danger; Hiruzen later considers him for elite border command 61 204 226.
• Danzō Shimura — Political enemy who seeks control of Makoto’s talent and Sharingan. After failed recruitment attempts, orders Kazuya to arrange his capture 19 37 43 48. His failed attack results in six months of confinement. Danzō later dies in the Land of Rain while Makoto watches with contempt; Orochimaru suspects Makoto’s involvement without openly proving it 61 186 187 188.
• Yashiro Uchiha — Clan head who hears Makoto’s surveillance complaint and agrees to address it with the Hokage 25 26. Makoto later considers his promises of protection hollow and resolves to remove the clan’s old leadership. Yashiro eventually steps back as Fugaku takes over 71 212.
• Fugaku Uchiha — Successor to Yashiro as clan head. Respects Makoto’s earlier record but is uncertain about his recent inactivity. Later recommends him for border command and asks him to become Itachi’s teacher 212 221 226.
• Moyu — Makoto’s crow, initially empowered through Obito’s belief into a speaking Yin Release fighter of weak-chunin strength 34. Later becomes an enormous four-eyed summon, a powerful Wind Release attacker, and the center of Makoto’s clone-based surveillance and remote-operation network 104 149 160 210.
• Rin Nohara — Classmate whose importance to Obito defines a boundary Makoto refuses to cross romantically 13. Makoto later invokes her supposed concern to motivate Obito’s training 153.
• Nako Uchiha — Orphaned clanswoman recruited as a subordinate and prospective tool tester. Makoto uses Sharingan influence, psychological guidance, and loyalty conditioning to establish her obedience. She manages household tasks, identifies recruits, carries messages, and later receives three-tomoe eyes and Earth Grudge Fear equipment 104 106 116 209 214.
• Shun Uchiha and Entetsu Uchiha — Orphaned recruits who seek security and belonging under Makoto. He tailors their training and later forcibly advances their Sharingan to three tomoe, equipping them alongside Nako as the hidden “Uchiha artillery trio” 116 126 209 210.
• Hatake Sakumo — Kakashi’s father. Makoto monitors his public disgrace and later offers encouragement that helps him recover from despair. Sakumo expresses gratitude through Kakashi 104 114.
• Kakuzu — Veteran Kage-level opponent whose Earth Grudge Fear and multiple hearts challenge Makoto’s tactical preparation. Later held captive and used as a target for ambitious manifestation claims 130 131 133 160.
• Pakura / Yako / “Uchiha Yeko” — Powerful modified partner and Number Three subject. Makoto implants asura cells into her and later supplies modified Byakugan. She protects him after his Mangekyō awakening, helps maintain his frontline cover story, and supports subsequent hunts 188 203 204 205 209 215.
• Tufeng / Number Two — The earlier Tufeng is destroyed during Makoto’s near-death battle and treated as recoverable experimental material. A replacement based on Toroi becomes a formidable Magnet Release fighter using Dragon Crystal Sand 203 209 215.
• A Mu — Modified Kumogakure kunoichi and hidden Kage-level trump card. Makoto treats her as both a combat asset and a living database, progressively combining bloodline abilities in her body 206 210 215 235.
• Yahiko — Akatsuki leader with whom Makoto debates peace, power, and political realities. Makoto respects his sincerity and offers assistance, while recognizing the danger of his idealism and Hanzō’s trap 169 173.
• Black Zetsu and White Zetsu — Covert observers drawn to Makoto’s unusual Uchiha talent. Black Zetsu orders White Zetsu’s clones to monitor him near Amegakure 169.
• Madara Uchiha — Hidden threat associated in Makoto’s mind with Obito’s manipulation. Makoto initially worries about attracting him, later reasons that Obito is the more susceptible target, and eventually treats Madara as deceased 204 205 209 213.
• Minato Namikaze — Introduces Makoto and Kakashi to Konoha’s core jonin circle. Despite recognizing Minato’s strength and heroic character, Makoto later regards his stabilizing influence as an obstacle and deliberately does not intervene to prevent his death 157 210 212 220.
• Naruto Uzumaki — Future system target and intended pawn. Makoto values his protagonist importance but delays approaching him while he is still an infant 212.
• Itachi Uchiha — Initially skeptical young prodigy whose low trust frustrates Makoto. Seeing Wadatsumi changes his assessment, and his subsequent belief helps manifest Mangekyō-research knowledge. Fugaku later selects Makoto as a prospective teacher for him 212 213 214 221.
• Sasuke Uchiha — Considered a more promising future manipulation target than the skeptical Itachi, though still an infant when Makoto makes the comparison 212.
• Sasori — Opponent who initially accepts Makoto’s Land of Fields official persona, then recognizes his Mangekyō and suspects his Uchiha identity. Makoto’s perception defeats Sasori’s layered trap, prompting the puppeteer to escalate 230.
• Seiji and additional Uchiha recruits — Young clan members who volunteer to serve under Makoto. He welcomes them while privately planning to shape their loyalty 235.
