Tribute to the Uchihas'

Well...tribute to Naruto continues with the Uchihas'

Uchiha is the strongest clan in Konoha.

With the visual prowess known as Sharingan, they are master in genjutsu, most of them have powerful fire ninjutsu and excel in taijitsu as well. However they are a clan with twisted history and fate. The prominent character we'll see in Naruto Shippuden are Madara, Obito, Itachi and Sasuke.

Uchiha Madara

The biggest insecure and twisted mind ever.

He is a founding father of Konohagakure besides Hashirama Senju. He is Hashirama's bestfriend. They find a spot for Konoha during training together. Despite the clashes of their clan, they remain as friends and resolved the war by initiating Konohagakure. Hashirama Senju was appointed as a Hokage while Madara is his close advisor. At that time, a lot other clan seek to join Konohagakure such as Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and even the neighbouring village (inhabited by Uzumaki clan) was dissolved to join Konohagakure, thus Mato becomes Hashirama's wife. Hashirama Senju is well respected and Madara was left with inferiority and insecurity. He initiate the idea of creating an ideal peaceful world using genjutsu and he only appear at the war as an Edo Tensei against the five kage. He did release the Edo Tensei and regained his original power to fight the kages' even though they are way below his par for power. I'm sure if he is given the opportunity to be a Hokage, he will end up being the greatest Hokage Konohagakure ever seen.

Uchiha Obita

The biggest personality ever.

Obito used the name Tobi, to joined Akatsuki. He is actually being manipulated by Madara in order to execute his plan. Akatsuki is the organization that aim to create peaceful world by collecting all Bijuu and act as the only military center for all nations. Obito, who was save by Zetsu, raised by Madara and later on lost faith in the shinobi world once his love, Nohara Rin was killed by his own friend, Hatake Kakashi. He believes the only way to achieved peaceful world is by creating Madara's world. But neither of them realize that Obito is clinging to all the memory he has during his childhood time and as a shinobi with Team Minato. These memories keep on reminding him his true self and later he did found someone who shares the same stupidity, loudness, dreams and personality he once possessed, that is Naruto. Realizing his mistakes, he did repent by helping Kakashi and Minato sensei against Madara.

Uchiha Itachi

The biggest good guy, unsung hero Konoha has ever seen.

He slaughtered all members of the Uchiha to prevent coup d etat but he spare Sasuke because he loves him. He left Konoha as a rogue ninja and join Akatsuki but his condition was not to destroy Konoha in retrieving the Kyubi. He dare Sasuke to become stronger before he ever duelling with him. He hide his illness and only wish to die in the hands of Sasuke so that he could upgrade his Mangekyou Sharingan. He give his eyes to Sasuke, to give the power that he gained to Sasuke. He even extracted the cursed mark placed by Orochimaru to avoid Sasuke being manipulated later. He stop Yakushi Kabuto on his Edo Tensei using Izanami, and teaches Sasuke about it. Everything he do, he do it for the good cause. He is an Uchiha with lots of Senju (love) in his hearts and the undying will of fire.

Uchiha Sasuke

The biggest dream Uchiha can wish for.

He adored his older brother since he was a baby. He will only be silent in Itachi's arm and he was looking forward to his brother in everything. He's a smart kid, top of his class but only aim to kill Itachi. He dreamed to be a strongest shinobi and avenge everyone who had wrong him and his clan. His adoration towards his brother never fade away but keep on increasing every time they met. Even during duelling with him, he still admire his brother's power and fighting skills. He wants to be like Itachi, so that he can be at the same level with Naruto. The more he hates Itachi, the more he admire him and inadvertently putting Itachi at the highest rank of respect and love he could give. He believes that his brother is the only one who could understand and lead him to the right path. Well, he's not wrong and Itachi did better by entrusting his brother, Sasuke to Naruto. There's no one Uchiha could wish for as a successor other than Sasuke, he resembles the Uchiha as a whole and his naive adoration to his brother shows how deep a relationship could go. In this love-hate relationship, often the good one's win. 

These characters are the main plot twisting mind blowing acts you could wish for in any story. I love them, the way they rebel and how they do it, the Uchiha's way. Not knowing the Uchiha's mean you don't understand Naruto as a whole.

The song Silhouette is the Naruto Shippuden opening no 16, sung by Kana Boon. I choose this song opening because its original opening montage highlight Madara and Obito, despite them being a villain...kudos...
