8 Facts About the Uchiha Clan in the 'NARUTO' Series That Are Rarely Highlighted, This Is the Meaning Behind the Fan Symbol - Founder of the Village Who Became a Villain

The Uchiha clan is one of the two main clans that founded the Village of Konoha, along with the Senju clan. They are direct descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki, the first son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki (Sage of Six Paths).

Sharingan is a dojutsu (eye technique) unique to the Uchiha clan. Sharingan grants the ability to copy jutsu, predict enemy movements, and create genjutsu (illusions). Sharingan can also evolve into stronger forms, such as Mangekyou Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan was almost entirely exterminated by Itachi Uchiha under the orders of the Konoha leadership, in an effort to prevent a coup planned by the Uchiha clan. Itachi left his younger brother, Sasuke, as the only survivor.

The Uchiha clan has the ability to control Kyuubi (Nine-Tailed Fox) through their Sharingan. This makes them a potential threat to the village of Konoha.

Madara Uchiha is one of the founders of Konoha alongside Hashirama Senju. Madara became a major enemy of the village after disagreeing with Hashirama's vision and attempting to take over the village.

The Uchiha clan is responsible for the Konoha military police, granting them the power to maintain order and security in the village. This position also caused tension with the village government and contributed to feelings of isolation and betrayal among clan members.

The symbol of the Uchiha clan is a fan, which symbolizes the power of fire and dominance. This fan was also used by Madara as a weapon in battle.

The Uchiha clan is descended from Indra Ōtsutsuki, who inherited the power and stubborn nature from his father, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. This created an eternal rivalry between the descendants of Indra (Uchiha) and the descendants of Asura (Senju).
