Uchiha Clan/Earth-101

## Uchiha Clan

The **Uchiha Clan** (うちは一族, *Uchiha ichizoku*) of Arashigakure is one of three noble shinobi clans of the village, as well as the village's strongest clan. It is also a variant of the original Uchiha clan from the main *Naruto* reality. The Uchiha lead the Tenryō Commission, the executive and military branch of the Sanbugyō, itself an organization that acts as the government of the Land of Storms.

## Background

The Uchiha clan are one of a number of clans that directly descend from Tenshiki and Hayashiki Ōtsutsuki. Their relation to Tenshiki is somewhat of a paradox. In his original reality, Tenshiki was known as Ryun Uchiha, the grandson of Madara Uchiha. After using Amenoukihashi to leave his dying dimension for this one, Ryun consumed the fruit of a God Tree and became an Ōtsutsuki clan member himself. He then killed Kaguya and Isshiki Ōtsutsuki and began to reshape the world in his image. Later, he met and married Hayashiki Ōtsutsuki. As the two were both male, they could not produce offspring sexually. However, through an inventive use of Tenshiki's Six Paths Puppet Technique, they were able to create genetic offspring, whose own descendants would go on to become several major shinobi clans, including the Uchiha who were said to descend from the eldest daughter: Jitō Ōtsutsuki.

## Abilities

The Uchiha clan were known to be exceptionally adapted to combat and had an accelerated growth rate that allowed them to to mature into capable warriors sooner than other shinobi clans. Their chakra is noted to be exceptionally potent and, unlike the members of their clan from the original reality who possess an affinity for the fire nature transformation, attuned primarily to the lightning nature transformation. Uchiha are not considered adults until they can preform the Shiden technique. Those rare members of the clan who either do not possess lightning chakra or cannot produce Shiden are barred from joining the Tenryō Commission.

The Uchiha clan is most famous for its dōjutsu kekkei genkai: the Sharingan. Their Sharingan permits them the ability to see chakra, cast particularly strong visual genjutsu, and copy most opponent's jutsu. The Sharingan's enhanced perceptive abilities allow their wielders to anticipate an opponent's move before it happens, giving rise to the legend that the Uchiha can see the future. Under extreme emotional circumstances, the Sharingan can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan, bestowing further visual prowess upon the one who awakens it at the cost of eventual blindness. However, an "eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan can be granted to those who receive an eye transplant from a close relative, preventing blindness.

## Trivia

* The Land of Storms insignia—a *mitsudomoe* within a cherry blossom petal—is seen as a secondary emblem of Earth-10's Uchiha clan, representing their Sharingan.
* Despite Earth-10's Uchiha clan being stronger with lightning chakra than their original counterparts, some members of the clan still have strong affinities for fire chakra. In fact, fire chakra is most commonly the specialization of those few unable to use lightning nature transformations.
* The original Uchiha clan was noted, with few exceptions, for its black-haired, dark-eyed members. While this is still mostly true, greater variation has been observed in Earth-10's Uchiha. For instance, Murasaki Uchiha has both purple hair and violet eyes. Her daughter, Kara Uchiha, has raven hair but golden eyes.
