When it comes to powerful families in the world of Naruto, the Uchiha Clan is always among the first to be mentioned. After all, the Uchiha Clan possesses powerful abilities that are far superior to most of the jutsus or techniques wielded by other shinobi clans . Also , the Uchiha Clan is home to some of the strongest characters in Naruto, including Sasuke, Madara, and Obito.
It goes without saying that the Uchiha Clan has no shortage of powerful abilities, considering they are naturally gifted not just in dojutsu but also in combat prowess, ninja tool utilization, and chakra quality. Throughout Naruto, the Uchiha Clan showed unmatched power, so it’s about time to highlight their strongest abilities in this article.
Naruto: 32 Strongest Characters In The Series
These Naruto characters are the strongest individuals in the series.
Mangekyo Sharingan Ohirume
The Mangekyo Sharingan Ability That Can Manipulate Gravity
Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyo Sharingan Ohirume is one of the most terrifying abilities in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Unlike other MS abilities, Sarada’s Ohirume generates black spheres or orbs, which allow her to not only levitate but also use gravitational force against her opponents.
The Shinju Ryu experienced Ohirume quite recently, and the damage was incredibly destructive. Sarada is still new to this Mangekyo Sharingan ability, but she already has a good grasp on Ohirume, likely because of the Uchiha blood running in her veins.
Kamui
The Ability to Bend Space and Teleport
Kamui is considered the strongest Uchiha Clan ability by most fans of the Naruto series. Originally wielded by Obito and later Kakashi, the Kamui is a space-time ninjutsu that bypasses nearly all techniques created in the Narutoverse.
With Kamui, Obito gains massive mobility and nearly perfect defense, unless his timing slips. As fans know, Obito can make his body intangible, letting attacks pass through him with ease.
Itachi's Tsukuyomi
The Ability to Torture in Split Seconds
When Itachi Uchiha used Tsukuyomi in Naruto, Kakashi Hatake experienced a year's worth of torture in a split second, forcing him to retire from the match earlier than expected despite having his own Sharingan. The effects of Tsukuyomi nearly broke Kakashi’s mind, leaving him bedridden for quite a while.
The moment Itachi locks eyes with his victim, he can instantly activate Tsukuyomi, trapping his opponents in a world where everything is under his control. While the Tsukuyomi is activated, Itachi can do whatever he wants to his opponent. Resisting the genjutsu isn’t easy either, as only top-tier shinobi can withstand or break free from it.
Susanoo
The Ability to Gain an Overpowered Avatar
The Uchiha Clan’s Susanoo is probably one of the flashiest abilities that only those who possess Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes can wield. At a glance, the Susanoo looks like a stand or a shikigami, which automatically gives the user more offensive and defensive power in battle.
The Susanoo’s appearance also differs, but the common denominator is a towering avatar who can wield special weapons such as the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror owned by Itachi’s Susanoo. However, it takes time before a wielder fully develops the Susanoo from a skeletal structure to its full humanoid form.
Amaterasu
Black Fires That Never Die
The Uchiha Clan are masters of Fire Release, so it’s no surprise that some of its members can use Amaterasu, an ability hailed as the pinnacle of all flame-based techniques. The black flames of Amaterasu are basically inextinguishable, and only a select few can stop them.
Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha are two of the most iconic wielders of Amaterasu in Naruto, each using the black flames or the fires from hell, in their own ways. When hit by the Amaterasu, the victim feels excruciating heat, said to be hotter than the sun’s core, until they are reduced to ash, unless the effects are rescinded through unconventional means.
Kotoamatsukami
Rewrite Minds Without Detection
The Kotoamatsukami is yet another genjutsu wielded by an Uchiha in Naruto. It is the Mangekyo Sharingan dojutsu of Shisui Uchiha, the same character who entrusted his left eye to Itachi instead of surrendering it to Danzo Shimura.
In simple terms, the Kotoamatsukami allows Shisui to enter the minds of his victims without them realizing. It is near-undetectable, and it has a wide scope. However, while the Kotoamatsukami is an incredibly powerful genjutsu, the cooldown is painfully long, limiting how frequently it can be used in battle.
Izanami
Bind Opponents in a Never-Ending Genjutsu
Being trapped in a genjutsu is terrifying, but being at the center of Izanami means facing an unending genjutsu that warps reality itself. The effect goes on and on, disabling the victim’s capacity to distinguish reality from illusion.
One cast of this genjutsu can end a battle, but Izanami requires specific preparations before it can be unleashed. As shown in Itachi’s fight with Kabuto, the latter was physically immobilized in reality while endlessly reliving the scenarios Itachi recorded in a loop within the genjutsu.
Izanagi
The Ability to Escape Death
This list would not be complete without mentioning Izanagi, as the ability itself is a game-changing technique that can overwrite reality within a certain amount of time. If Izanagi is activated, serious injuries, fatal blows, or even deaths experienced by the Uchiha caster can be turned into mere illusions.
Interestingly, many fans view Izanagi as the ultimate plot armor for the Uchiha Clan, thanks to its ability to reverse or undo even deadly outcomes .
Tailed Beast Control
The Ability to Command a Beast of Immense Power
Naruto Uzumaki went through so much trouble in his attempts to form a bond with Kurama and control the Tailed Beast. However, in Madara and Obito’s case, being an Uchiha with a powerful Mangekyo Sharingan is enough to gain control over the Tailed Beasts.
As shown in the original series, Madara controlled Kurama, turning the Nine-Tailed Beast into a pawn for his plans. The same thing happened with Obito, who likely forged a contract with Kurama, summoning him into Konoha during Naruto’s birth.
