Uchiha Clan

Name: Uchiha Clan
Symbol:
History: The Uchiha are descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki, the elder son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Through Indra, the Uchiha inherited Hagoromo's "eyes", granting them powerful spiritual energy and chakra. As part of the so-called "Curse of Hatred" first displayed by Indra, Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost. This loss, whether actually experienced or merely threatened, awakens an Uchiha's Sharingan. It is due to the Sharingan that the Uchiha have received much of their fame and notoriety.

The Uchiha have been fighting the Senju clan for centuries, a rivalry that traces back to the days of Indra and his younger brother, Asura. When the Sage of Six Paths was dying, he selected Asura as his successor, believing Asura's desire for peace through love was better than Indra's peace through power. Indra, driven by his Curse of Hatred, fought Asura to claim what he believed was his birthright. The Uchiha and Senju, descendants of Indra and Asura respectively, continued their battle through the centuries, though none still remembered this reason for their conflict.

The Founding Uchiha
The Uchiha during the Warring States Period.

By the time of the Warring States Period, the Uchiha and Senju had emerged as the strongest shinobi clans in the world. When one of the fledgling countries of the era would hire the Uchiha to fight in their wars, the opposing side would hire the Senju. The constant warfare between their clans only fueled their hatred, with all Uchiha owing the death of a loved one to a Senju and vice versa. But centuries of conflict began to wear on members of the clans; Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju met as children and became friends, bonding over their disapproval of the combat and death that they and their younger brothers were constantly subjected to and dreaming of a time when children wouldn't need to fight. Unable to do anything about the world at their age, Madara turned away from their dreams.

Madara and Hashirama continued to face each other in battle over the coming years. Driven by his desire to defeat Hashirama and through competition with his younger brother, Izuna, Madara became the first Uchiha to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan. With its increased power he took control of the Uchiha. Hashirama, by then the leader of the Senju, tried to use their positions to broker peace between them and finally achieve their childhood dreams. Despite growing interest in peace amongst the Uchiha, Madara was unwilling to agree to peace after Izuna was killed by Hashirama's brother, Tobirama. Using Izuna's eyes to acquire "eternal" Mangekyō, Madara challenged the Senju for supremacy one final time. He was defeated, but even then refused Hashirama's offer of peace, insisting that Hashirama kill himself first. When Hashirama agreed to these terms, Madara was moved to accept, withdrawing his request for Hashirama's death.

Konohagakure
Senju & Uchiha truce

They unified with Senju and made a pact with the Land of Fire to create a hidden village within its borders, what would become Konohagakure. Other clans settled in Konoha to share their peace and Konoha's model was adopted across the shinobi world, ending the turmoil of the era. When it came time to select Konoha's First Hokage, Konoha's leader, the villagers selected Hashirama. Madara interpreted this as the first step in the Senju's supremacy over the Uchiha and tried to rally his clan to take control of the village. Weary of the fighting, the Uchiha ignored him, prompting him to leave the village. He later returned, challenging Hashirama at what would become the Valley of the End and died in battle.

Hashirama did not wish for Madara's actions to be held against the rest of the Uchiha, a wish that was not followed: his successor as Hokage, Tobirama, was wary of the Uchiha, believing they could never be convinced to fully commit to Konoha's best interests. For this reason, he created the Konoha Military Police Force which he left the Uchiha in charge of, officially as a sign of good faith but what many Uchiha interpreted as the start of their clan's isolation from Konoha's affairs. As the decades passed, a growing number of Uchiha came to believe that Madara had been right to fear ostracism from the Senju. During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, the Uchiha were absent in the village's defense. Because of this and the Sharingan's known ability to control the Nine-Tails, Konoha's government came to suspect an Uchiha's involvement in the attack. Being regarded with such skepticism despite their years of service to the village convinced most remaining Uchiha that Madara had been right.

Uchiha Clan
The Uchiha clan during Fugaku's leadership.

Under the leadership of Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha began plotting a coup d'état to overthrow the Third Hokage and his administration. They strategically placed some of their members within the Anbu in order to spy on Konoha, but some of these very spies disagreed with the Uchiha's plans, believing an Uchiha coup would only begin a world war. Shisui Uchiha tried to use his Kotoamatsukami to force the Uchiha to stop their plans, but he was prevented from doing so by Danzō Shimura. Danzō after that approached Itachi Uchiha, a longtime double agent for Konoha, and gave him an ultimatum: allow the Uchiha to carry out their coup, inevitably ending with the eradication of all Uchiha, or Itachi could wipe out the Uchiha before they had the chance, and in exchange he could spare his younger brother, Sasuke. Itachi chose the latter.

Uchiha Clan Massacre
The Uchiha Clan Downfall.

Before assassinating his clan, Itachi sought out the help of Tobi, who he believed to be Madara Uchiha. In a single night, Itachi and Tobi wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, with Itachi taking the responsibility of killing his parents. When he was discovered by Sasuke, Itachi pretended to be solely responsible for the attack, concealing Konoha's involvement and the fact that he did everything for Sasuke's safety. Overwhelmed with grief for killing his family, Itachi wanted Sasuke to take revenge against him, and to do that, he began pushing Sasuke to get strong enough to kill him. In the meantime, he left Sasuke under the Third Hokage's care, due to the fact the Third had long desired a peaceful resolution to the Uchiha's grievances.

Post-Downfall
Only three Uchiha survived their clan's downfall: Itachi, though publicly acting as a criminal by joining Akatsuki, continued serving Konoha for the rest of his life until finally dying while fighting Sasuke; Sasuke, at Itachi's insistence, began seeking power at any cost so that he could someday kill Itachi, a pursuit that drove him to eventually defect from Konoha and become an international criminal; Tobi, real name Obito Uchiha, kept to the shadows for many years following his apparent death during the Third Shinobi World War, only taking public actions after Itachi's death so that he can gain Sasuke's assistance during the Fourth Shinobi World War. From learning from Obito about what Konoha forced Itachi to do, Sasuke initially decides to destroy Konoha to take revenge. When he's able to talk with a reincarnated Itachi, however, he changes his mind, as Konoha's destruction would make all that Itachi sacrificed meaningless.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara Uchiha is temporally brought back to life. He and Obito join forces in trying to use the Ten-Tails to enslave the world with the Infinite Tsukuyomi. After learning the truth from Itachi, Sasuke opposes them and joins forces with the Allied Shinobi Forces, and Obito, in time, also sides against Madara. However, after being redeemed, Obito gives his life to end the war and Madaraafterwardtly afterward, leaving Sasuke the last surviving Uchiha. Following his subsequent battle with Naruto, Sasuke is redeemed and escapes the Curse of Hatred that plagued the Uchiha for so long. Despite his years of criminal actions, his contributions in the Fourth Shinobi World War were enough for him to be pardoned for his crimes.

Years later, an experiment of Orochimaru, Shin, creates numerous clones of himself that all naturally possess Sharingan. Shin planned to use them to form his own pure line of the Uchiha clan, but his mistreatment of his clones causes them to turn against him and kill him. The clones settle in Konoha afterward.

Kekkei Genkai: The Uchiha were known for having an innate aptitude for all combat-oriented skills and an advanced growth rate. They also have an especially potent chakra quality as well as a natural affinity for the fire nature transformation; Uchiha are not truly considered adults until they can successfully perform the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. Uchiha also frequently use ninja tools in combat, being best known for their use of shuriken.

The Sharingan.:

The Uchiha clan are most feared for their dōjutsu kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. They can use their Sharingan to see chakra, cast various genjutsu, and, most infamously, copy opponents' jutsu. The Sharingan is such a versatile ability that many ninja consider it wiser to flee than to face an Uchiha in one-on-one combat. Sharingan can be evolved into Mangekyō Sharingan by experiencing loss of a loved one, granting the user new and more powerful jutsu. Overuse of the Mangekyō eventually robs the Mangekyō of its sight, something that can only be restored by receiving another's eyes, preferably a sibling's, to create "Eternal" Mangekyō. The Mangekyō's mechanics were long poorly misunderstood by the Uchiha, causing many to personally kill their loved ones to gain power.

The Sharingan grants the wielder two broad abilities:

Mangekyō Sharingan:

Stats:
Sharingan wielders gain an active +3 to Speed for each tomoe. +15 for MS, +20 for EMS. Boosts do not stack!
Each tomoe costs 1,500 words to unlock. MS & EMS cost 2,000 and 2,500.
Any genjutsu used on awakened Sharingan wielders loses 5 power.
Uchiha gain 5 power when casting genjutsu.
Upkeep for one tomoe is 3 stamina per post, two tomoe is 4, three tomoe is 1 (being considered fully matured). 5 for MS & EMS.

Treansplants:
You must spend a minimum of 15 posts and total of 3,000 words recovering and adjusting to the new eyes.
The eyes given to non-Uchiha are frozen at whatever stage you receive them.
Upkeep is 5 with three tomoe, 6 for MS & EMS.
MS requires Chūnin rank for everyone.
Appearance: Typically dark hair and black eyes.
Joining Requirements: Birth, claim limited spot (8 Maximum)

You've described the Sharingan, but not what it actually does stat-wise.

Does the Sharingan grant any buffs?

Is there a WC/player character requirement to unlock it?

How quickly, in posts, would a wielder of the Mangekyo sharingan lose their eyesight?

How does the sharingan's perception work?

How does the sharingan's copying work?

In the future, please refrain from copying the wiki when making clans.

I was adding to this when you started posting on my apps. Also, the wiki gives the most precise and accurate explanation of how it works. And since this is 200 years after Kaguya wins all of the information listed is already cemented in this universe.

Please change +21 for EMS to +20.

Additionally, the stamina cost for all forms of the sharingan is exceedingly high- higher than casting multiple S-rank techniques. For reference, an E-rank jutsu costs 1 stamina point, a D-rank costs 2, etc.

Edited.

This includes Mangekyo Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyo sharingan, as well as their abilities listed under the spoiler.

That's not stamina cost, that's how many points in chakra you need to cast MS and EMS techs. Following this:

Chakra: A measure of your character's capacity to cast jutsu, as well as their overall power. Currently, 15 points of chakra are required per jutsu rank, starting at 0- I.E., 0 points are required for E rank, 15 points are required for D rank, 30 for C rank, and so on. S ranks require 90 chakra.

"Upkeep for one tomoe is 3 stamina per post, two tomoe is 6, three tomoe is 1 (being considered fully matured). 10 for MS, 5 for EMS."

Are you sure you want two tomoes to cost the same as an S-rank jutsu?

Ok, I didn't understand at first. Edited.

Mangekyo sharingan costs the same as an S-rank and B-rank jutsu combined. Eternal Mangekyo sharingan costs the same as an A-rank jutsu. Do you really want to spend that much stamina on +20 points of speed?

An oversight of my multitasking. When we're done can these posts be removed to avoid clutter?

I'd prefer to keep these messages up in order to have a log of what specifically has changed.

Either way, this clan is now approved~
