ϟThe Uchiha Clan

Clan Name:Uchiha
Country/Village of Origin: Land of Fire/Hidden Leaf Village
Current Location: Various

Clan Description:
The Uchiha clan descended from the elder of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. The elder brother inherited the Sage's "eyes", powerful chakra and spiritual energies. When it came time for the Sage to choose a successor, he questioned the two on what course of action they would follow to bring order to the world. The elder believed that power was the way to bring peace, while the younger believed love was the way. The Sage favored the ideal of the younger brother, and therefore designated the younger as his successor, causing the elder to be filled with jealousy and hate. From this hate came the Curse of Hatred. From the younger son descended the Senju clan who would be the eternal rivals of the Uchiha. However, the Uchiha suffered another more dangerous curse: a passionate love that can become a bottomless well of despair the moment the one they care for most is dead.

The Uchiha clan was once considered to be one of the most powerful clans in Hidden Leaf Village. Due to family feuds and disputes the clan has broken up and smaller branches have been created in other nations. The Uchiha usually specialize in Fire Style jutsu like Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. Clan members are properly recognized as adults by the rest of the clan when they become proficient with this jutsu. Uchiha clan members also possess the Sharingan, a Kekkei Genkai, which gives them the ability to copy their opponent's jutsu, among other benefits like the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it.
