Most Naruto fans know that the Uchiha and Senju Clans co-founded Konohagakure. After decades of warfare which resulted in massive casualties on both sides, the two clans put down their weapons and joined together, creating the first Hidden Village in the shinobi world.

Famed for their battle prowess and ultimate dojutsu, the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan was a welcomed addition to Konohagakure's rank despite the Senju Clan's initial distrust of the "cursed" clan. What wasn't cursed was the Uchiha's multitude of self-created jutsu, which later became instrumental in defending Konoha from its enemies abroad.

10 Fire Release: Dragon Flame Loud Singing Jutsu Created Heat-Seeking Dragon-Balls

Alongside the Sarutobi Clan, the Uchiha specialized in Fire Release techniques; even without their legendary Sharingan, their ability to quickly master Fire-based jutsu made the Uchiha feared throughout the shinobi world. As a result of their inherent abilities, they developed many techniques to scorch Konoha's military opponents.

The Dragon Flame Loud Singing Jutsu was one of the Uchiha's highest level Fire techniques; after churning one's chakra within the body, its user expelled multiple dragon-headed fireballs at their opponent. These manipulatable dragons were powerful, heat-seeking orbs capable of reducing any person caught in the crossfire to a smoldering pile of ash.

9 The Sharingan Genjutsu Manipulated Opponents' Movements, Then Stole Their Jutsu

The Uchiha Clan owed much of their formidable reputation to the Sharingan. This kekkei genkai allowed the Uchiha to mirror their enemy's attacks, predict their movements, and see through most deception and genjutsu; they could also cast genjutsu by simply looking someone in the eye.

This ability, called Genjutsu: Sharingan, afforded the Uchiha manipulation of their opponents' movements to mirror their own; this essentially made their target believe they had future sight, dealing massive psychological damage. With the technique active, its user could also perfectly imitate enemy jutsu; this allowed the Uchiha to build large offensive arsenals without developing techniques themselves. Some Sharingan users gained enough proficiency with the technique that they were revered across all five Great Nations, such as Kakashi the Copy Ninja, who learned over 1,000 jutsu utilizing the Sharingan's power.

8 Kirin Was The Uchiha's Ultimate Lightning Release Technique

Sasuke's Summoning Kirin Against Itachi

Sasuke Uchiha developed various techniques to defeat his brother, Itachi, during his quest to avenge his fallen clan. His dual Elemental Release abilities, Fire and Lightning, allowed Sasuke to master the Great Fireball jutsu at age seven and the Chidori Lightning Blade at 14.

Two years later, Sasuke single-handedly created Lightning Release's greatest technique: Kirin. By drawing lightning directly from thunderclouds, Sasuke supplemented Kirin's striking power with his own chakra; this change in chakra form resulted in the lightning taking shape as a sentient beast. Strong enough to obliterate entire mountains on impact, this ability was powerful enough to destroy Itachi Uchiha's Susano'o.

7 Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flames Reduced Entire Armies To Cinders

The Uchiha's Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flames in Naruto.

Even without their Sharingan, the Uchiha were formidable foes on the battlefield. Their natural battle instinct, high ferocity, and proficiency for Fire Release set the Uchiha apart from most clans during the world's clan era and long after the Hidden Village model replaced it.

The Majestic Destroyer Flames technique marked the pinnacle of Uchiha Fire Release. After amassing incredible amounts of chakra within the body, the technique's user forcefully expelled it to create a sea of fire; capable of engulfing several square miles of land, the attack could decimate landscapes and armies in a single, decisive blow. Madara's use of this ability nearly ended the Fourth Shinobi War, as it took nearly 30 Jonin-level Water Release users to nullify this jutsu.

6 Kotoamatsukami Allows For Subtle Brainwashing

Shisui Uchiha uses Kotoamatsukami in Naruto.

After experiencing intense trauma, such as witnessing a loved one die, the Uchiha's Sharingan evolves into its higher form: the Mangekyo Sharingan. Upon activation, the Mangekyo grants its user new abilities that differ between each eye while maintaining all the Sharingan's original abilities.

Shisui's awoken ability was Kotoamatsukami, the Uchiha's strongest and most coveted technique. It allowed Shisui to enter the mind of anyone within his proximity to subtly manipulate their decision-making; through the fabrication of experiences and hypnotic suggestion, Kotoamatsukami became the world's greatest genjutsu as its target never realized they were being manipulated.

5 The Shinra Tensei Was The Rinngan's Strongest Ability

The Uchiha's Sharingan is among the "Three Great Dojutsu," which includes the Byakugan and Rinnegan. While the Byakugan is unobtainable by anyone outside the Hyuga Clan, the Rinnegan can only be gained by a Sharingan wielder who obtained Hagoromo's chakra.

Shinra Tensei, or Almighty Push, utilized all five Nature Transformations, making it the Rinnegan's ultimate technique. It created a repulsive force capable of repelling all enemies and jutsu from its caster. With enough chakra, its user could channel a force so large it could wipe away entire villages; Pain used Shinra Tensei to reduce Konohagakure and its inhabitants to a barren crater.

4 Amaterasu Produced Inextinguishable Jet-Black Flames

The inextinguishable jet-black flames of the Amaterasu in Naruto.

After witnessing Shisui's suicide, Itachi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes. While his left inherited the power of the Tsukuyomi, his right now conjured Amaterasu; these inextinguishable black flames became the single-most powerful Fire Release ability seen in Naruto. It also served as Itachi's greatest offensive attack.

Amaterasu produced jet-black flames at the point of the user's vision; inextinguishable and too fast to avoid, Amaterasu burned as hot as the sun. The flames were also unstoppable, as they continued burning until their target was wholly engulfed and swallowed up before leaving behind nothing but a pile of ash.

3 Tsukuyomi Forced Its Unlucky Victims To Experience Lifetimes Within Seconds

Tsukuyomi is used to crucify the target in Naruto.

Antipode to Amaterasu was Itachi's left eye ability, the Tsukuyomi. As the most powerful genjutsu, Tsukuyomi trapped its target in a world of Itachi's design. Time and space were meaningless within it, as Itachi could force his victims to relive intense trauma, torture them, or live entire lifetimes within a few real-world seconds.

This ability was so formidable because it was unable to be broken via normal Release techniques. Even with delicate chakra control and a target's awareness of being in a genjutsu, the Tsukuyomi technique could only be released by its caster. Its victims' consciousness was forced to live within Itachi's world without hope of escape, while their physical body was rendered entirely comatose.

2 Kamui Gave Its User Indefensible Offensive Power & Near Invulnerability

Typically, the Mangekyo manifested itself as two different abilities for each eye. Some wielders, such as Obito Uchiha, merely gained one ability; after witnessing Rin's death, Obito's Mangekyo granted him the power of Kamui. His left allowed him to use the ability at long range and the right at short range.

Kamui transferred people and objects to another dimension that was inescapable and untraceable to even the strongest sensory ninja. Offensively, Kamui could store weapons or shuriken that could be propelled at high velocity from behind a target. Defensively, it allowed Obito to absorb and nullify most ninjutsu. His unique use of Kamui also made his body intangible, rendering him utterly invincible to any form of assault for several minutes.

1 The Full-Body Susano'o Was The Awakened Uchiha's Ultimate Technique

Madara's Perfect Susano'o in Naruto.

As the Mangekyo was once regarded as the pinnacle of Uchiha power, members of the clan began killing their loved ones to gain its unique abilities. While these differed depending on which eye was awakened, the Mangeko also granted an Uchiha Clan member additional power once both eyes' Sharigan had leveled up.

This ability, called Susano'o, afforded its user an impenetrable suit of armor that proved to be an ultimate defense. After enveloping them in chakra, Susano'o protected and fought for an Uchiha on its own accord. These literal titans could destroy entire mountain ranges with a single sweep of their sword, protect the user from cataclysmic ninjutsu like the Tailed Beast Bomb, and allow an Uchiha to perform other jutsu within the armor's protection while keeping their enemies at bay.
