(long read, but i do want to make my point clear)

Uchiha Clan is by most regarded as the master of Genjutsu, Ninjutsu and wielders of Sharingan. they are one of the strongest clan in existence.

I so do not disagree with the latter statement. they fought on par with Senju in the war era and were considered so.

the problem I have with is the former statement.

Why?

The Sharingan that makes the clan the top boss is only awakened by a selective members of the clan. Not all members awaken it. Yes, those who awaken it have their skills boost greatly, like being able to use Genjutsu effortlessly, get precog skills and see Chakra.

Yes, it boosts their abilities greatly, but is it as great for everyone.

take the example of Sharingan Genjutsu -

Itachi could paralyze the likes of Orochimaru with basic SG, but isnt this more attributed to Itachi who is a beast in terms of Genjutsu.

take Shisui for example. he can manipulate mind of others with his SG without them knowing, but when someone can catch an hint of it, it can be broken with ease. the example is Mifune.

the Sharingan gives Copy abilities -

so far no one but Kakashi and Sarada has shown this one particular ability. the former isnt Uchiha and the latter is not born in the time of Uchiha clan. she is barely instructed about the Uchiha clan tradition and so.

no one else showed this ability. Sasuke did it once with Lee but not any more.

Ninjutsu -

they are capable of using Katon. no doubt. it is their basic tradition to learn Katon jutsu to even wear the clan symbol. it puts them leagues above normal shinobi who probably dont even learn Nature Transformation in their lives.

but Katon to them is like any other Hiden jutsu to other clan. Nara learn Shadow jutsu, Akimichi increase body size, Yamanaka have mind skills. hell even the Sarutobi seem to learn Katon too. similarly clans from other villages also have something specific to them.

outside of Katon though, the Uchiha do not seem to learn anything else. the only ones who did are Sasuke and Itachi. Itachi is like an exception to all rules and Sasuke only learnt Raiton because he had a natural affinity to it which Kakashi seemed to notice. before Kakashi teaching Sasuke Raiton he didnt even bother with anything else. even the likes of Madara and Obito learnt no other Nature transformation. they only used other skills because of Mokuton and implants.

Genjutsu -

Most of their skills are related to Sharingan and most do not awaken it. and the feats to are more to the likes of itachi and Shisui who are considered exceptional by all standards.

In that sense there are indeed exceptional shinobi like the likes of Madara, Itachi, Sasuke and Shisui, but over all on average they are on par with most clans.

what do you people think? agree or disagree
