Uchiha Cong

Biodata

Power Progression

History

Early Police Service and Promotion

Cong first appears reporting a forced sale at a ninja tool shop involving Mitokado Homura’s son. Concerned about the political consequences, he consults Xuanye rather than acting independently. Once authorized, he slaps the offender twice, pins him down, and arrests him 3.

During the subsequent raid on Homura’s residence, Cong tells the assembled villagers and ninja that even a Hokage Advisor can be arrested for breaking the law 6. He later interrupts Xuanye’s confrontation with Hiruzen Sarutobi by deliberately passing gas; Xuanye redirects it into the Hokage’s face with Wind Release. Cong understands the interruption as a way to let his captain end the confrontation without backing down, and credits the incident with earning his promotion to Third Squad leader 8 11.

Leading Itachi and Confronting Kumogakure

Xuanye assigns Uchiha Itachi to Cong’s squad and entrusts Cong with training him. At the village gate, Cong pushes Itachi forward and instructs him to challenge Samui with an insulting demand to state her sex. When Atsui confronts Itachi, Cong shields his subordinate and kicks Atsui into the mud, initiating the clash with Kumogakure’s delegation 11 12.

Afterward, Itachi treats Cong’s bruises under the force’s practice of having comrades tend one another’s injuries. Remembering Cong’s immediate protection at the gate, Itachi begins to appreciate the squad’s comradeship 13.

At the Hyuga compound, Cong openly praises Hiashi for killing the intruder who attempted to abduct Hinata. He later slaps Atsui and tells him to postpone negotiations until the next day because Xuanye’s shift has ended 21 22.

Mangekyō Awakening

Cong blocks the Fourth Raikage from entering Konoha until he pays for a registration desk he destroyed. The Raikage responds with a potentially lethal attack, which Xuanye intercepts. Overwhelmed by relief and hatred of his own powerlessness, Cong awakens his Mangekyō Sharingan 29.

Using Deity Possession with Xuanye’s consent, Cong defeats the accompanying Kumogakure elites while Xuanye subdues the Raikage. Cong delivers a triumphant warning on behalf of the Police Force, then immediately loses consciousness from the borrowed power’s strain 29 30.

After recovering, he interrogates the captured Raikage, initially accusing him of being a spy. His new eyes and access to the prisoner attract Hiruzen’s attention: the Hokage orders an investigation into Cong’s background and loyalty, hoping to recruit him as an opening into Xuanye’s organization 33 34.

Sarutobi Residence Incident

An Anbu summons Cong to Hiruzen’s home while Cong is carrying a potent pink aphrodisiac called Divine Water. Startled, he spills it onto his hand. At the residence, he accidentally exposes Biwako Sarutobi to a drop while declining her invitation to enter. Danzō subsequently arrives intending to seize Cong, but the affected Biwako pulls him inside instead 35.

When Hiruzen returns and brings Cong into the bedroom, Cong photographs Biwako and Danzō together. Biwako accuses Danzō of forcing her, and Cong refuses Hiruzen’s request to keep the matter private. Danzō attacks him with a kunai, prompting Cong to manifest his skeletal Susanoo, capture him, and break through the bedroom wall. Cong carries Danzō across Konoha’s rooftops while loudly publicizing the allegation 36.

Despite being scheduled off the next morning, Cong reports to headquarters after conducting an eight-hour overnight interrogation. His arrest of Danzō leads to further penalties and, after Danzō refuses payment, a compulsory-enforcement operation against the former Root Base 37 38.

Assault on the Root Base

Cong leads from the front during the Police Force’s battle with Root operatives, wielding his Mangekyō power despite knowing that Deity Possession will leave him severely weakened. During the operation, Shisui’s larger, armored Susanoo demonstrates how far Cong’s own skeletal manifestation still has to develop 40.

Appearance

• Black hair: Stands on end when Xuanye’s borrowed power surges through him 29.
• Sharingan: Possesses three-tomoe eyes before awakening an intricate Mangekyō pattern; a bloody tear accompanies the awakening 29.
• Duty uniform: Wears the Police Force’s commissioned snow-white cloak bearing the word “Justice” across the back 11.

Personality

Cong combines aggressive bravado with close attention to Xuanye’s wishes. His initial hesitation over arresting an advisor’s son comes from concern about political fallout and obedience to his captain’s consultation rule, not sympathy for the offender. Once Xuanye authorizes action, Cong readily disregards the offender’s connections 3.

He is shamelessly ambitious and eager to flatter his captain. He willingly sacrifices his dignity to help Xuanye, then treats the resulting promotion as proof that anticipating his superior’s needs brings success. His swagger also shapes his leadership: he wants to train Itachi into the Police Force’s second-biggest show-off, behind himself 8 11 12.

His loyalty includes genuine protectiveness toward his subordinates. He immediately shields Itachi from Atsui, an act that makes a strong impression on the younger Uchiha. Beneath his boasting, Cong resents repeatedly needing Xuanye to rescue him; that frustration helps trigger his Mangekyō awakening 12 13 29.

Xuanye regards Cong’s devotion as an obsession rather than ordinary professional loyalty. Cong sees his captain as a living god, and Xuanye believes he would never betray him unless that idol were first shattered 38.

Abilities & Skills

Deity Possession

Cong’s Mangekyō technique creates a connection through which he can borrow another person’s power. Its demonstrated source is Xuanye 29 30.

• Consent required: Xuanye must grant permission before the transfer occurs 29 30.
• Extreme physical enhancement: A tiny fraction of Xuanye’s strength allows Cong to overwhelm Kumogakure’s elite jōnin with his fists 30.
• Limited endurance: His body cannot sustain the enhanced state for long. Borrowing less than one percent of Xuanye’s power leaves him unconscious afterward 30.
• Lingering aftereffects: He later experiences unsteady steps, back pain, and weakness in his legs 35.

Susanoo

Cong manifests a pitch-black, incomplete skeletal Susanoo during Danzō’s attack 36.

• Blocks an ordinary kunai aimed at his throat.
• Uses a large skeletal hand to seize and restrain Danzō.
• Breaks through a load-bearing bedroom wall with one punch.
• Does not fully enclose his body; its demonstrated form is substantially less developed than Shisui’s Susanoo 36 40.

Close Combat and Police Work

• Unenhanced combat: Slaps, restrains, and binds Homura’s son; later kicks Atsui off his feet before he can react 3 12.
• Squad leadership: Commands Third Squad and directs Itachi’s introduction to police duties 11 12.
• Interrogation: Receives responsibility for questioning the Fourth Raikage and conducts an overnight interrogation of Danzō 34 37.
• Evidence collection: Carries a miniature digital camera for police work and uses it to photograph the scene at Hiruzen’s residence 35 36.

Equipment & Items

• Miniature digital camera — Carried in his ninja tool pouch for collecting evidence 35 36.
• Divine Water — A potent pink aphrodisiac purchased with borrowed money. Its accidental spill precipitates the incident involving Biwako and Danzō 35.
• “Justice” cloak — The Military Police Force’s formal public-duty uniform 11.

Relationships

• Uchiha Xuanye / Uchiha Genya — Captain and object of Cong’s fanatical admiration. Promotes him, repeatedly protects him, and supplies the power used by Deity Possession 11 29 38.
• Uchiha Itachi — Subordinate entrusted to Cong for training. Cong embarrasses him with provocative orders but also protects him from Atsui 11 12 13.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi — Political opponent who attempts to recruit Cong after learning of his Mangekyō Sharingan. Cong privately distrusts him and refuses to suppress the scandal at his residence 34 35 36.
• Fourth Raikage — Attacks Cong over a compensation demand and later becomes his interrogation subject after Xuanye defeats him 29 33 34.
• Shimura Danzō — Attempts to seize Cong, then attacks him during the Sarutobi residence incident. Cong captures him with Susanoo 35 36.

Notable Quotes

“Cut the crap! Unless you pay the full price for that registration desk you smashed, you’re not setting foot inside Konoha!” 29

“Whoever offends our Police Force will be slain, no matter how far away they flee!” 30

Trivia

• The character 聪 in Cong’s name means “clever”; the narration invokes this when describing his ability to read Xuanye’s intentions 8.
• His enhanced appearance is compared to someone using the Eight Gates, but the power in that scene comes from Deity Possession, not the Eight Gates Released Formation 30.
