Ichijō Uchiha (うちは 壱天, Uchiha Ichijō) is a member of the Uchiha Clan in the Land of Fire. Not much is known about him besides the fact that he belongs to the clan and that his loyalty is towards those who deserve his love. He served as the Lord of the Uchiha Clan in the past, and even after retiring, he is considered a respected elder of the clan. During his reign as a Hokage, although it is a somewhat obscure period, he was known as the Hokage who operated in the darkness, earning him the title of the Hokage that lives in the Darkness (闇に住む火影, Yami ni sumu Hokage VIZ: Hokage veiled in Shadows) to symbolize his actions during the short reign. Ichijo also operates as Crow (烏, Karasu), a secret identity, in the Underworld.
Background[]
Very little is known about Ichijo Uchiha apart from the rumors and the remnants of destroyed monuments bearing his face. The records that remain provide only brief descriptions of him, leaving much of his story a mystery.
Ichijo Uchiha's childhood
Ichijo Uchiha was born into a seemingly happy family, the firstborn son and youngest child of his parents whose names remain redacted. However, tragedy struck when his father died in a battle against the Senju Clan. This left Ichijo's mother a widow, and her grief led to her becoming possessive and unstable. She began to compare Ichijo to his father, a practice that worsened as Ichijo grew older and more closely resembled his late father. As a result, Ichijo had a difficult and dysfunctional childhood, growing up with a mother who was increasingly controlling and unstable. However, he found support and solace in his siblings, who served as his pillars of strength throughout childhood. Despite the challenges he faced, Ichijo managed to hold onto his sanity, thanks in large part to the love and support of his siblings. In short, Ichijo Uchiha's childhood was marked by tragedy and difficulty, as he struggled to cope with the loss of his father and the instability of his mother.
Ichijo Uchiha's life had been filled with tragedy as he watched each of his siblings succumb to the embrace of death. Every loss he suffered left a deep wound in his heart, but the final loss of his last sibling was the tipping point. The weight of his grief was unbearable, and he unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, with the ability that allowed him to rewind the actions of events.

Appearance[]
Ichijo Uchiha's appearance is a striking mix of styles and colors. He is often seen wearing a dark brown jacket that complements his jet-black hair, which is tied back in a ponytail. His black shirt and trousers provide a sleek contrast to the jacket, while his brown boots add a touch of ruggedness to the outfit. Ichijo's eyes are a piercing shade of red, a testament to his mastery of the Sharingan. Together, these elements create a unique and captivating appearance that sets Ichijo apart from his peers.
Abilities[]
Ichijo Uchiha was a renowned member of the Uchiha Clan in the Land of Fire, known for his exceptional mastery of Fire Release, Sharingan, and Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, which included the unique power to rewind time within his domain. His Fire Release techniques, such as the Great Fireball Technique, Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, and Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, were incredibly powerful and destructive. However, Ichijo's true strength lay in his mastery of the Sharingan. With the Sharingan, he could see chakra, predict movements, and copy techniques, making him an adaptable and formidable opponent.
- Ninjutsu: Ichijo's mastery of Fire Release was nothing short of extraordinary, allowing him to overwhelm even water and create powerful fogs upon impact with his Fire jutsu. His natural affinity for Fire Release made it easier for him to learn and use the element with great precision, enabling him to create formidable flames with just a small amount of chakra. This level of control over Fire Release was reminiscent of legendary Uchiha like Madara and his ancestors, solidifying Ichijo's status as a truly exceptional ninja.
- Mangekyo Sharingan: In addition to his exceptional mastery of Sharingan abilities, Ichijo also possessed a rare Mangekyo ability called Enjibun that provided him along with an incredible boost in clarity and perception. Enjibun allowed him to rewind time within his domain, making him an even more formidable opponent in battle. He also possesses the Kotoamatsukami in his right eye which enables him to insert false experiences or memory into the target, disregarding visual contact, causing them act it out as if it was of their free will.
- Speed: Ichijo Uchiha's speed is comparable to a level where he can leave afterimages in his presence as he moves, allowing the Uchiha to be perceived as fast as a body flicker, at least an advanced one. Ichijo is, unfortunately, tied down by his stamina, as it drains more than he uses during outbursts of speed, which can be stamina-draining. He utilizes the speed to match the perceptive power of the Sharingan and act in time. However, he could not abuse it for an extended period of time.
