History

Conflict with Konoha

The Uchiha and Senju fought for generations, leaving hostility that continued under Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. His surname, demeanor, and policies sustained Uchiha distrust despite his acceptance of an Uchiha disciple 64.

Elder Uchiha Setsuna eventually launched an armed coup against Tobirama. Without any Mangekyō users, the rebels were defeated, and Setsuna was imprisoned rather than executed. Danzō personally arrested him 63 84.

The clan did not follow Madara when he defected from Konoha. Danzō later cites that decision as evidence that Madara’s actions should not cast doubt on the remaining Uchiha’s loyalty 120.

The Undying Squad’s Influence

Three Uchiha—Shunji, Delia, and Kenichi—survive the war under Takahashi Yū and receive his Wave Seeds. Their genjutsu helps create the opening that allows Yū to knock Ōnoki unconscious 4.

Shunji’s enthusiastic promotion of his captain changes the tone of clan meetings, filling them with accounts of the Undying Squad and discussions of Yū’s overwhelming strength. When his murderous intent demonstrations trigger Sharingan awakenings, clan members begin treating Yū with intense admiration 19.

Alliance with Danzō

After returning from the Land of Water front, Fugaku succeeds his father as clan head. He seeks Danzō’s support to ease the clan’s conflict with Konoha and create opportunities for military achievement 77 81.

The alliance is secured through both persuasion and intimidation. At Naka Shrine, Yū pins the assembled elites down with murderous intent while Danzō demands their loyalty. Setsuna publicly supports Danzō after reading his Declaration of War, and Danzō then explains how the clan’s policing monopoly has isolated it 83 84.

Fugaku subsequently backs the political movement that leads to Danzō becoming Fourth Hokage. By the time Fugaku becomes a Konoha elder, he regards the clan as finally escaping its longstanding predicament 91 94 97.

Integration and Military Service

Relinquishing most control of the Military Police Force opens the clan to wider village life. Setsuna observes Uchiha children playing with civilian children, outsiders opening shops in the compound, and Uchiha shopkeepers working alongside employees without special treatment 166.

Danzō also offers the clan the captaincy of the Third ANBU Division, allowing it to nominate a member. Orochimaru later describes the Uchiha and Konoha as mutually indispensable 167 213.

Uchiha teams support Root’s operation in the Land of Water, while Fugaku later leads a force toward the Land of Lightning in pursuit of battle merits. Finding Kumogakure evacuated frustrates that ambition; Shunji acknowledges that the clan’s improved standing still owes much to its relationships with Yū and Danzō 180 224.

After his resurrection, Madara recognizes that the Uchiha have become fully integrated into Konoha. He also observes a change in their awakenings: more young members develop Sharingan to protect others 232.

Organization

Leadership and Clan Meetings

• Clan head: Fugaku inherits the position from his father and later also serves as a Konoha elder 77 97.
• Elders and factions: Setsuna leads the hardliners; the clan also includes Fugaku’s supporters and conservative elders 83 84.
• Meeting place: Formal clan meetings take place at Naka Shrine 83.
• Eligibility: Three-tomoe Sharingan grants access to clan meetings 19.
• Undying Squad exception: Shunji, Delia, and Kenichi are later described as not participating in formal meetings because they are already identified as Yū’s men 85.

Military Police Force

• Former monopoly: The Uchiha treat the force as clan property, excluding other shinobi clans. Danzō argues that this also closes other departments to Uchiha participation 84.
• Public resentment: Their role as stern law enforcers makes civilians associate the entire clan with policing 84.
• Limited rewards: Fugaku considers the force a source of honor rather than profit; some officers must cover expenses themselves 84.
• Reform: Danzō orders forty positions reserved for other shinobi clans and thirty for civilians, aiming to change the impression that the Uchiha refuse to share authority 85.
• Outcome: The clan relinquishes most control, and civilians eventually gain enough authority within the force to act against ninja 166 232.

Uchiha Academy

The adult academy gives the Uchiha a new role after their loss of police duties 99.

• Curriculum: Emergency survival, wartime shelter, evading ninja, identifying spies, and basic hand-to-hand combat 99.
• Teaching difficulty: Traditional Uchiha throwing techniques and taijutsu are built around the Sharingan, making them difficult to teach to civilians. Fugaku asks Sakumo to provide kenjutsu lessons, but Sakumo declines because of his existing responsibilities 100.
• Rivalry: The academy competes against the Eastern Front Academy. Before their sixth exchange, the Uchiha trail by two wins to three; a later review records a 2–4 score 130 195.
• Public support: Many civilians support the Uchiha Academy, while the major shinobi clans favor its Eastern Front rival 130.
• Teaching reform: Under Uchiha Yao, the instructors adopt Might Duy’s green-covered Youth Cultivation Handbook 195.

Culture

Strength carries exceptional weight within the clan. Three-tomoe Sharingan brings status, while overwhelming power earns admiration even from outsiders such as Yū and Sakumo. Their pride can also distort their reading of others: some members mistake villagers keeping their distance for respect 19 77 83.

Clan solidarity coexists with internal bullying and exclusion. Weaker members may be looked down upon, but forcing the Uchiha to sacrifice their own people is described as sufficient cause for rebellion 175.

The younger generation adopts references to “youth” alongside Uchiha glory. During a shelter crisis, Daisheng invokes clan rules after a grieving boy declares that he will create a world containing his lost love; the surrounding young Uchiha collectively beat the boy into silence 285.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

• Battlefield openings: Three-tomoe genjutsu briefly restrains Ōnoki while he is already under strain from Murderous Intent Fluctuation, giving Yū time to attack 4.
• Combat methods: Uchiha throwing techniques and taijutsu are developed around the Sharingan 100.
• Covert control: Uchiha operatives maintain genjutsu over Land of Water officials as part of Root’s intelligence operation 180.
• Awakening stimuli: Both exposure to murderous intent and the desire to protect others can trigger awakenings 19 232.

Mangekyō Sharingan

Mangekyō abilities differ between wielders, and excessive use threatens blindness 100 118 133.

• Fugaku’s right eye: Silences targets and can disrupt chakra flow. Madara resists the chakra disruption but is still rendered mute 118 122.
• Fugaku’s left eye: Applies an unnoticed psychological suggestion that makes targets act forcefully; it can draw out potential and strengthen their techniques 118.
• Shunji’s right eye: Allows direct conversation with anyone he can see 133.
• Shunji’s left eye: Connects to someone over any distance through a personal token. It successfully contacts Tobirama in the Pure Land 133 134 213.
• Shunji’s support effect: A conversation partner can draw a small amount of chakra in advance 133.
• Delia and Kenichi: Both possess Mangekyō, but their specific abilities are not disclosed in the provided accounts. Orochimaru considers Delia’s ability the most outstanding among the four implanted users 224.

Murderous Intent Fluctuation

The Undying Squad’s Uchiha receive this power through Yū’s Wave Seeds; it is not an innate Uchiha ability 4.

• Consumes chakra to materialize murderous intent and inflict mental damage 4.
• Links nearby bearers, strengthening their fluctuations and providing slight damage sharing 4.
• Requires absolute trust in the primary bearer 4.
• Retains its eye-awakening stimulus despite being more than ten times weaker than Yū’s original power 19.

Izanagi and Ocular Preservation

• Izanagi: A forbidden technique that allows survival after death at the cost of a Sharingan. Fugaku repeatedly uses it during failed Hashirama-cell experiments, consuming spare three-tomoe eyes 119 166.
• Hashirama cells: Confirmed to replenish Mangekyō ocular power. Early implantation attempts kill Fugaku, but successful operations are later documented for four Uchiha 134 166 224.
• Eternal Mangekyō: Yū explains that merging the Mangekyō of close relatives can prevent blindness. No successful attainment is documented here 100.
• Further training research: Orochimaru proposes a genjutsu world for training the younger generation, and Danzō raises its laboratory priority 241.

Notable Members

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Gunbai: The clan’s sacred weapon, taken away by Madara. He uses it to perform Uchiha Reflection against Yū 124.
• Uchiha Stone Tablet: Fugaku raises concerns about its contents; Yū reveals that it was altered and deceived Madara 120.
• Spare three-tomoe Sharingan: Used for Izanagi during implantation experiments and reserved as insurance for the Undying Squad’s Mangekyō users 166.
• Youth Cultivation Handbook: Might Duy’s green-covered manual, adopted as the academy’s teaching plan 195.

Relationships

• Takahashi Yū — Captain of the three Undying Squad Uchiha and source of their Wave Seeds. His power inspires both admiration and caution throughout the clan 4 19 83.
• Shimura Danzō — Political patron and Fourth Hokage. He secures Uchiha allegiance, reforms their institutional role, and explicitly rejects collective blame for Madara’s defection 84 85 94 120.
• Hatake Sakumo — Supports trusting the Uchiha as fellow Konoha comrades, although he also participates in the show of force at their shrine 64 84.

• Hyūga clan — Rival ocular-jutsu clan. The Undying Squad’s Uchiha demand oversight of Main Family military contributions following the attack on their teammates 23 29 31.
• Root — Operational partner in the Land of Water; Fugaku orders Yashiro’s Uchiha team to follow Root’s lead 180.
• Ninja Cat Clan — Communication partner used by Fugaku to recall the Uchiha trio from the Land of Wind 218.
