The Uchiha clan (うちは一族 Uchiha Ichizoku?, "Uchiha family") is a fictional clan of ninjas in the anime and manga series Naruto. Uchiha, is another way of pronouncing "uchiwa", or a paper fan, which is actually the Uchiha clan symbol. Uchiwa can be used to fan flames, making the flame hotter — referring to the fact that the Uchiha is a clan of fire-jutsu users.
Once considered to be one of the most powerful clans in Konohagakure, the Uchiha are highly specialized in fire jutsu like Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique. Clan members are properly recognized by the rest of the clan when they become proficient in these fire 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.
It is said that one of the ancestors of the Uchiha clan founded the Konoha Military Police, and the organization itself largely consisted of members of the Uchiha clan until recently. Currently, there are only two known surviving members of the clan: Sasuke Uchiha and his brother Itachi Uchiha. After obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing his best friend Shisui Uchiha, Itachi proceeded to slaughter the rest of the clan. He left Sasuke alive for reasons unrevealed as of yet. Itachi has told Sasuke that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has some special and seemingly dark ultimate purpose, but what that is has yet to be revealed.

Fugaku Uchiha (うちはフガク Uchiha Fugaku?) was the father of Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, and the husband of Mikoto Uchiha. He was the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force. He was often seen pushing Itachi to think of the clan; he tells him that he is the backbone of the clan and should set a good example. It is hinted that they had some sort of falling out, as Itachi felt the clan held back their potential by limiting themselves to rules which prevented change from occurring. Fugaku himself admitted that he didn't understand Itachi. He often neglected Sasuke aside from cursory inquiries to his school life, but his wife insisted that he was proud of Sasuke, which caused him to be awkward around him. Towards the end of his life he had become deeply troubled by Itachi's behavior, a concern beyond the falling out over Itachi's future role in the clan and more directed towards his growing anti-social behavior. Eventually, he even told Sasuke not to try to be like his brother, almost the exact opposite of everything he had told Sasuke before. He was later killed by Itachi.
Inabi Uchiha

- Seiyu: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama
Inabi Uchiha (うちはイナビ Uchiha Inabi?) was a member of the Konoha Military Police Force. He questioned Itachi about the apparent suicide of Shisui Uchiha together with Yashiro Uchiha. He was killed by Itachi.
Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha (うちはイタチ Uchiha Itachi?) is the son of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha and the older brother of Sasuke Uchiha. Itachi was considered the clan's prodigy - graduating from the Academy at age 7, fully mastering the Sharingan by age 8, and becoming an ANBU squad captain at the age of 13. His father, actively encouraging his career, considered Itachi the "pipe" that connected the clan to the village. However, his character grows steadily darker and more anti-social, damaging his relations with the rest of his family. This comes to a head after the death of Shisui Uchiha, who Itachi considered to be his best friend. It is later revealed that Itachi murdered Shisui to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan. Itachi eventually slaughtered his entire clan, save for his brother Sasuke, and is one of the two extant members of the clan. He currently is an S-class criminal in the organization Akatsuki.

Not much is known about this Uchiha member. He seems to be well known by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, who said that Madara's chakra was even more sinister than its own at the time and that Sasuke now holds the same chakra. "Madara" means "mottles" or "speckles".

- Rank: Jonin2
- Height: 162.6 cm2
- Weight: 48.9 kg2
- Birthday: June 12
- Blood Type: A2
- Seiyu: Emi Sagara
Mikoto Uchiha (うちはミコト Uchiha Mikoto?) was the mother of Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, and the wife of Fugaku Uchiha. She is one of the only people who acknowledges Sasuke openly, more than Itachi, although she does hint that Sasuke's father talks most about him when he is alone with her. She was killed by Itachi.
Obito Uchiha
- Age: 132 (deceased)
- Rank: Chunin2
- Height: 154.2 cm2
- Weight: 44.5 kg2
- Birthday: February 102
- Blood Type: O2
Obito Uchiha (うちはオビト Uchiha Obito?) was a Chunin-level ninja featured in the Kakashi Gaiden chapters of the Naruto manga. He was part of the three-man team under the Fourth Hokage, the others being Kakashi Hatake and Rin. Obito wanted to prove his strength to Kakashi Hatake, who was his teammate and his biggest rival. Obito also had a crush on his other teammate, Rin.
During a mission to sabotage a supply bridge, Rin was kidnapped by enemy ninja. Kakashi insisted on continuing with the mission, confident that the enemy would keep her alive for a reasonably long period of time. Obito refused and decided to rescue Rin, claiming that Kakashi's late father, Sakumo Hatake, had made the right decision in rescuing his friends at the expense of his mission. Kakashi, after realizing what was important, assisted Obito in the rescue. During the rescue Obito finally proved his strength to Kakashi by activating the Uchiha clan's special kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. When all seemed to be going well the Iwagakure shinobi Kakko used Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction in an attempt to bury the group in rubble. The attack would've crushed Kakashi, but Obito sacrificed himself to save Kakashi, crushing his right side completely. Obito, knowing that he was going to die, offered his Sharingan to Kakashi, so he could defeat the rock ninja and save Rin. Rin, a medical ninja, implanted Obito's left eye into Kakashi's left eye socket. Thus Sharingan Kakashi was born. Before Obito died his last thoughts were on both Kakashi and Rin. He wished that he could have spent more time with them. Obito has his name inscribed on the monument for ninja who are killed in battle. It is for Obito that Kakashi visits this monument every day, consequently making him consistently late for meetings, which was a trait of Obito's as well.
Obito was the person who gave Kakashi his signature chronic tardiness and pioneered Kakashi's now famous line, "In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are considered trash, but those who don't protect their comrades are worse than trash."
Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha (うちはサスケ Uchiha Sasuke?) is the son of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha and the younger brother of Itachi Uchiha. As the second son, Sasuke felt bereft of the family's support, especially when his family members - especially his father - encouraged him to emulate his brother Itachi. Itachi acts as a caring figure to Sasuke, however, encouraging the rest of the family to take notice of him. After Itachi's character becomes darker and more sinister, Fugaku begins paying greater attention to Sasuke, paying greater attention to his schoolwork and even teaching him the Great Fireball Technique. However, Itachi later murders the entire clan, leaving Sasuke alone alive. From this point, Sasuke's sole ambition is to kill Itachi. Although his time with Team 7, and especially Naruto Uzumaki changes this outlook to some degree, he later leaves Konohagakure to join Orochimaru for greater power.
Shisui Uchiha
- Age: ? (deceased)
- Unique Trait: Presumably a master Body Flicker Technique user
Shisui Uchiha (うちはシスイ Uchiha Shisui?) was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ Shunshin no Shisui?) and was one of the most talented of the Uchiha clan. Shisui was the best friend of Itachi Uchiha; in fact, Itachi thought of him as an older brother. He was found drowned in a river from what appeared to be suicide, though the Konoha Military Police believed it to be murder. Also, it was said that Shisui was ordered to keep tabs on Itachi. Itachi Uchiha admitted to Sasuke Uchiha that he had murdered Shisui to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan. The name 'Shisui' means 'still water', a reference to his drowning.
Tekka Uchiha
