| - The Uchiha clan (うちは一族, Uchiha Ichizoku; Literally meaning "Uchiha family") is considered to be one of the most powerful clans in Yamagakure 2. The Uchiha specialize in fire jutsu like Fire Release: Fireball Technique. 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 Kekkai Genkai which gives them the ability to copy their opponent's jutsu, among other benefits like: enhanced visual perception, the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it. Uchiha is another way of pronouncing "uchiwa," a paper fan, which is incidentally 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. Currently, there are twelve surviving members of the clan. After obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan by killing his best friend Shisui Uchiha, Itachi proceeded to slaughter the rest of the Old Uchiha Clan. Of his family, Itachi only spared Sasuke, claiming to feel that he was not worth killing. However, this was merely a facade, as the real reason to this is because Itachi loved his brother too much. Madara Uchiha later states that all Itachi has done was to protect Sasuke. Although all the details have not been revealed, he explains that the Uchiha Clan was beginning to get rebellious and was planning a coup d'etat against Konoha. This suspicion was supported by the fact that Uchiha members, particularly those that have the Sharingan, can control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. To assure such suspicions, the Third Hokage decided to station a spy among them. The spy was Itachi. By doing this, the Third was able to keep tabs on the clan and when things were soon getting out of hand, Itachi sought help from Madara in assisting him in slaying the rest of his clan members. Sasuke and Ryun were the only ones spared from the massacre. Itachi has told Sasuke that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has some special and seemingly dark, ultimate purpose. Ryun finally revived the clan under the name Uchiha Clan II. The clan was given the unique Master Sharingan to them by The Great Slabias. It has three new jutsu similar to the Mangekyo Sharingan, each user also has a unique ability that awakens with their Master Sharingan. Though there was a drawback, only Main Branch members could use it so to be fare, the Slabia invented the Delta Sharingan which could only be awakened by Branch Family members.
