Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Ye — One-Tomoe Sharingan	1	Synthesized from fragments earned by fulfilling seven last wishes; improves vision and movement tracking.
Ye — Two-Tomoe Sharingan	3	Synthesized after a month of wish missions; enables finer chakra perception and substantially sharper tracking.
Ye — Three-Tomoe Sharingan	3 4	Strengthens perception, copying, and genjutsu; unlocks interconnected Wish Chains. Subsequently recorded as a Genin.
Ye — Mangekyō Sharingan	10	Synthesized with 100 fragments and “powerful love” as the catalyst. Grants Divine Dominion, Time Reversal, and access to Rinnegan-fragment rewards.
Ye — Special Jōnin strength	15	System assessment reflects his Mangekyō and basic Uzumaki sealing knowledge.
Ye — Evolving Mangekyō	22	An Eye Power Crystal restores his vision, increases maximum ocular power by 30%, and unlocks limited Kamui, weakened Amaterasu, and Transparent World.
Sasuke — Three-Tomoe Sharingan	27	Awakens the third tomoe while fighting Obito; reads chakra flow to anticipate Kamui’s intangibility timing.
Ye — Temporary Rinnegan	27	The system consumes his ten remaining Rinnegan fragments to survive Madara’s attack. The transformation ends after Madara is sealed.

Background / History

Origins and ancient conflicts

The Uchiha descend from Indra, who inherited the Sage of Six Paths’ eyes. Kagami explains that Indra divided his chakra before death, allowing portions of it to reincarnate in Uchiha children across successive generations 6.

The clan’s historical murals depict migrations, wars against the Senju, Konoha’s establishment, the Nine-Tails’ Rampage, and the eventual massacre. Despite their conflicts, Uchiha and Uzumaki families had intermarried since the Warring States Period, developing connections between ocular techniques and sealing arts 6 15.

Eight Uchiha ancestors sealed Ōtsutsuki Yu Ye in a coffin, sacrificing their lives to complete the seal. Their deed was absent from the surviving clan records; murals suggest they concealed it to prevent descendants from releasing the prisoner 39.

A later, damaged recording shows an ancient Uchiha clan head attending a secret council with leaders of the Senju, Uzumaki, and People of the Stars. One contradictory fragment depicts him arguing with the Senju leader over an unidentified “ultimate solution” and taking some clanspeople away from the Ring of Oaths 59.

Division and massacre

The clan contained competing political outlooks. Kagami supported the Will of Fire and anticipated that tensions with Konoha would erupt, while Tekka belonged to the radical faction. Kagami preserved a hidden legacy for a future successor, arguing that understanding and forgiveness—not revenge—should guide the Uchiha’s future 3.

Itachi initially explains the massacre as an attempt to stop the coup, drive Sasuke toward Mangekyō, and give him the strength to challenge the inherited curse. He later admits that another aim was to delay Kāma’s awakening by reducing its carriers, but that this reasoning was mistaken: the curse persisted through the bloodline rather than the eyes alone 8 30.

The Wish System reports 1,344 deaths and identifies Ye and Sasuke as survivors. Ye begins preserving the victims’ personal legacies through letters, keepsakes, promises, and investigations, while Sasuke initially dedicates himself to revenge against Itachi 1 3 8.

Exposure of the conspirators

Jian, who had escaped into hiding in the Land of Grass, gives Ye correspondence and experimental records implicating Danzo in Kagami’s death, cooperation with Obito, and planning the massacre. Konoha’s leadership receives the evidence but initially postpones action because of Root’s strength and the approaching Chunin Exams 14 16.

Danzo’s public attempt to abduct Ye and Karin during the written exam ends with Ye stripping the implanted Sharingan from his arm. Hiruzen arrests Danzo for treason, murder, and human experimentation, orders his death sentence, and disbands Root 18.

Itachi subsequently sacrifices his sight to help seal Sasuke’s Kāma through Izanami. Sasuke learns the clan’s history without either forgiving his brother or returning to simple hatred, choosing instead to determine his own future 30.

Reconciliation and continuing legacy

After Isshiki is extracted from Sasuke, the rebuilt Uchiha compound becomes the Shinobi World Alliance headquarters rather than exclusive clan territory. Its architecture is preserved, and a central memorial records all 1,344 victims’ names. Visitors from other clans and villages come to pay their respects 36 37.

Sasuke later gives Fugaku’s imprint to Ye, recognizing his work for the dead and the clan’s liberation. Ye completes all 1,344 recorded wishes inside a time barrier and incorporates their eye-power imprints into the Jōgan 38 41.

The dead continue to protect their successors. During the attack on the Uzumaki sacred ground, Kagami, Shisui, Fugaku, and Mikoto return briefly through the Legacy System, then sacrifice their remaining spiritual existence to help the expedition escape Kinshiki and Urashiki 47.

The Uchiha Curse

• Reincarnation cycle: Indra’s reincarnations are drawn into conflict with Asura’s. Kagami initially presents this cycle as an inherited burden shaping the clan’s fate 6.
• Corrupted instructions: Black Zetsu altered the Sage of Six Paths’ teachings, replacing a method of breaking the curses with the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan 6.
• Kāma’s source: Fugaku’s research and Itachi’s account identify an Ōtsutsuki-imposed Kāma within Indra’s inheritance. Itachi names Isshiki as its creator and explains that conflict selects a vessel capable of supporting his resurrection 28 30.
• Bloodline transmission: Destroying Sharingan or reducing the clan’s population does not eliminate Kāma. Itachi acknowledges that Sasuke remains vulnerable because the bloodline itself carries it 30.
• Temporary suppression: Itachi’s Izanami seals Sasuke’s Kāma for at least a year. Enemy resonance devices later force it to awaken ahead of that deadline 30 33.
• Purification: Ye’s outsider status makes him an unforeseen variable. Fulfilling wishes gathers and purifies chakra and eye-power imprints; Counter-Kāma, the true Rinnegan, and the Jōgan provide successive means of resisting or removing the curse 6 36 38 41.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan

• Improves dynamic vision, movement tracking, and chakra perception; supports technique copying and genjutsu 3 4.
• Can expose the timing of otherwise difficult abilities, as Sasuke demonstrates against Obito’s intangibility 27.
• Can be transplanted into outsiders, making the clan a target for theft and experimentation 2 14 18.

Mangekyō Sharingan

• Setsuna’s research links awakening to the emotional gulf between extreme love and extreme loss. Ye instead synthesizes his Mangekyō through love expressed as friendship, care, and belonging 4 10.
• Techniques vary by wielder: Ye gains Divine Dominion and Time Reversal, while Itachi uses Tsukuyomi and Sasuke awakens Amaterasu 10 29.
• Repeated use damages vision. Itachi’s declining eyesight and Ye’s eventual blindness demonstrate the cost 29 30.

Forbidden Ocular Techniques

• Izanagi: Converts injuries and even death within its active period into unreal outcomes, at the cost of permanently blinding a Sharingan. Danzo and his operative use transplanted eyes to perform it 14 18.
• Izanami: Creates a looping illusion that forces recognition of the self. Itachi uses it to suppress Sasuke’s Kāma, permanently losing his sight 30.
• Kekkei Genkai Extraction: Ye channels Mangekyō power, dying wishes, and the curse to remove implanted Sharingan or other bloodline abilities; the technique permanently drains ocular power 18 20.

Collective Eye-Power Legacy

• The Wish System collects the dead’s eye-power imprints, not their physical eyes 38.
• Combining the imprints with the clan-head seal enables the Jōgan, described as a purified Rinnegan capable of eliminating Kāma’s influence 38.
• The restored Legacy System can briefly summon deceased Uchiha souls for combat by consuming wish-completion progress; the summons last three minutes 47.

Locations & Relics

Location or relic	Significance
Naka Shrine	Ancestral shrine deep within the compound. Its hidden chamber opens through a concealed mechanism and Uchiha blood; it houses Sharingan research and Kagami’s clues 2 3.
Forbidden Grounds	Located 300 meters beneath Naka Shrine. Entry requires the assembled key, a full moon, and three-tomoe guidance. Contains historical murals, keepsakes, a fuller stone tablet, and seven secret chambers 5 6 16.
Three-Color Key	Fan-shaped key assembled from Setsuna’s Red Copper Key, Tekka’s Green Leaf Key, and Yashiro’s Black Iron Key 5.
Uchiha Cemetery	Burial ground sealed off after the massacre; contains Yashiro’s concealed key and the graves where Ye honors his parents and clanspeople 5 25.
Land of Tea shrine	Hidden at a ley-line node; holds Fugaku’s imprint and Setsuna’s sealed wraith 38.
Victims’ memorial	Monument at the rebuilt compound, inscribed with all 1,344 victims’ names and open to visitors from across the shinobi world 37.
Lost shrine in the Land of Iron	Identified by the fully activated Wish System as a high-value legacy site in a canyon 44.

Relationships

• Konohagakure — The clan’s home and the setting of its political conflict. Konoha initially shelters Ye after the massacre, later prosecutes Danzo, and hosts the rebuilt compound’s alliance headquarters 1 18 37.
• Senju Clan — Historical wartime rivals linked to the Indra–Asura cycle; their conflicts appear in the Forbidden Grounds murals 6 30.
• Uzumaki Clan — Connected through ancient intermarriage and complementary sealing traditions. Its Counter-Kāma inheritance becomes essential to freeing Sasuke 15 31 36.
• Danzo and Root — Responsible for Sharingan theft, experimentation, and attacks on Ye; Jian’s evidence implicates Danzo in Kagami’s death and the massacre 14 16 18.
• Akatsuki — Employs Itachi and Obito while targeting Ye’s unusual power. Pain seeks to capture him alive, and Obito fears that breaking the curse will disrupt Madara’s plans 9 17.
• Ōtsutsuki Clan — Source of the Kāma manipulation and later invasion threats. Yu Ye is an exception, helping Ye complete the Jōgan despite having been sealed by Uchiha ancestors 30 39 41.
• People of the Stars — Ancient allies represented in the damaged historical recording; their descendants later teach Ye and Sasuke defensive and spatial Star-Celestial techniques 51 59.
