Rai Uchiha

was a shinobi of the Uchiha clan.

Background
Born to the Uchiha clan, Rai was able to awaken the Sharingan in his youth, as well as his own Mangekyō Sharingan.

During the continuous struggle between shinobi clans, Rai and his clansmen faced an opposing force who quickly wiped out Rai's comrades with a trap. However, Rai nullified the outcome by sacrificing his left eye in order to use Izanagi. With the enemies slaughtered, he boldly declared that the Uchiha clan is invincible thanks to the powerful dōjutsu.

His prowess in using the forbidden technique made him the leader of the small group of his shinobi until he was challenged by Baru Uchiha who was able to kill Rai by using Izanagi himself.

Personality
Rai was a power-hungry man who got obsessed by the abilities the Izanagi granted him, maniacally dubbing it as a technique that would make his clan invincible. According to Baru Uchiha, Rai had the disliked habit of commanding others around. Rai also believed that in the shinobi world, results are all that count and due to his power, he aimed to rule not only the Uchiha clan, but the entire shinobi world by himself.

Appearance
Rai was a young man with long black hair and dark coloured eyes. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan with a cloak embroidered with its symbol on the back. He also wore an "X" shaped harness and belt that held multiple pouches and a large equipment pouch on the back. He also had a sword strapped to his back. His Mangekyō Sharingan was in the shape of a black spiral around his pupil.

Abilities
As an Uchiha, Rai was able to use the Sharingan, as well as the Mangekyō Sharingan. He was so adept in using the forbidden technique Izanagi that he could command the group of his clansmen with it until his sudden death. He was a very decent swordsman even with one eye blinded. He also showed a great amount of physical strength, being able to shatter the ground with a single strike of his sword.

Trivia

 * In the preview of episode 338, his hair was shown to be black in colour.
