Uchiha Fugaku
Name: Uchiha Fugaku
Canon: Naruto
Character Journal:disgruntledmountain
Gender: Male
Age:old as crap. 50
Birthday: August 16
Village Affiliation: Konoha
Rank: Jounin/Uchiha Clan Head/Police Chief
Canon History: History
Canon Abilities/Powers: In canon Fugaku only displays use of his Sharingan and kanton. Itachi is noted as being more skilled with shuriken than even Fugaku.
Appearance: The appropriate word for Fugaku’s appearance is grizzled. He has lived through two wars and it shows. Biting Fugaku would probably be like biting into jerky.
Fugaku stands 175.3 cm, or 5’9”. His hair is going steadily grey but so far is still on his head. He eschews any attempts at facial hair because, due to the burn scars on his face, the attempt would be disrespectfully patchy. Fugaku’s body is covered in scars, notably on his hands, face, and forearms. He had a very bad scar around his hip and upper thigh from and old accident.
When not in official Uchiha or police chief uniform, Fugaku is in a yukata or more formal wear. He doesn’t do relaxed very well, so spotting him out of uniform is very rare.
Personality: Fugaku is a man of many thoughts and very few words. Years of boring meetings and lectures and lessons about resisting interrogation have given Fugaku the perfect poker face. To everyone but a select few, Fugaku always looks annoyed, constipated, or disapproving. Generally he is none of these things. Okay, he probably is annoyed.and the older he gets the more likely he is to be constipated.
Fugaku is incredibly duty bound to his clan. Growing up with a mostly absent father and a grandmother who was very much a busy body, Fugaku’s clan was his family. He was constantly inundated with cousins and uncles and aunts, running favors and babysitting. Clan members taught him to fight, write, and everything else he learned to do. All his close friends at a young age were clan members, and Fugaku grew up feeling very much a part of his clan. For Fugaku, watching out for his family is the most important thing he can do.
Unfortunately for his nuclear family, this means Fugaku is very invested and busy and doesn’t delegate enough. On top of that, Fugaku has a very hard time expressing affection (as Mikoto will attest). Fugaku expresses affection with actions, never words, and rarely gifts. If Fugaku gives people gifts, they’re usually so practical that the sentiment is lost. Also, when doing things for people, Fugaku often doesn’t tell them he did the thing he did, or arranges for someone else to do the act if he’s too busy--also neglecting to let anyone know he orchestrated it.
Fugaku is bullheaded. When he was younger he had a quick temper too, and everyone stood clear when he got going. Fugaku didn’t have the kind of temper that lent itself to sudden violence or yelling, but it was always assumed once one made Fugaku angry, life was going to be miserable. He would put you down for a ten count if he needed to. Once Fugaku took on the mantle of clan head, the weight of office forced him to be more aware of acting dignified, not like a hot tempered brat.
Fugaku values justice over mercy, usually. As he ages he’s becoming slightly more lenient, possibly simply because it’s impractical to serve strict justice every time someone snitches a few coins for their supper. Mercy can also be useful in getting people to reform so they don’t keep taking up space in a cell.
Fugaku’s position as police chief and clan head has brought him into heavy contact with civilians through-out his life. He has a strange respect for them, living their normal lives next to people with so much more power. Because of this, Fugaku takes violent crimes against civilians very seriously, earning himself a reputation among ninja for being merciless, even for pranks pulled by academy students or gennin.
Fugaku generally isn’t impressed with people. He might respect them, but never is he over awed by someone. He generally expects the worst from people and plans accordingly because this is his job.
Fugaku has a very dry, incredibly morbid sense of humor. He claims it was cultivated during the war. usually, no one knows if he’s joking or not. Rarely can anyone tell if he’s joking or not, and this is why junior members of the force live in terror of him.
Fugaku’s clan has always been important to him, and while upholding the Uchiha reputation still remains important to him, Fugaku’s views on how to do that are changing as he ages. Now that he almost is one of the clan elders, he feels less beholden to them and more entitled to his own opinion on how things should be run. Now he gets to be the grumpy old man telling people what to do.
And he finds he rather enjoys it.

Sunshine Abilities/Powers: Fugaku specializes in taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Taijutsu--Fugaku learned brawl tactics as a gennin due to his large frame and early growth. He fought with tonfa and short bladed knives in close combat. Fugaku initially relied on brute force, but has honed his skills while workng with the police force. He’s become very accurate with ranged weaponry, and very good at non-lethal holds. Due to the high impact style, Fugaku has trouble with arthritis these days, and by almost fifty he doesn’t get into many fights, but spars occasionally and does kata to keep himself limber.
Ninjustu: As an Uchiha, Fugaku specializes in kanton. He developed a specially explosive mix of kanton and exploding tags during the way to blast himself and his opponent apart when things got too heavy for him to handle. Close range fighting and kanton mean Fugaku has burn scars on his arms, hands, and a few small ones his face. Some days he’s still amazed his eyebrows grew back.
Sharingan: Fugaku has a fully developed Sharingan. It’s not notably powerful.
Genjutsu: This is probably Fugaku’s shakiest skill. In his early training it wasn’t his focus. He doesn’t usually use genjutsu in combat, but has gained a better mastery of it while working at the police station. Fugaku finds it especially effective when dealing with civilian crooks and often throws in subtle scents of sights or feelings to make whoever he’s questioning more relaxed, paranoid, or whatever he thinks will help him discover the truth.
Sunshine History: Uchiha Fugaku was the much anticipated child of the Uchiha clan head. Fugaku doesn’t remember his mother, as the woman died when he was three from a freak accident. Fugaku was then given into the care of his grandmother, as his father was much too busy to watch out for a rather sullen toddler. Fugaku’s grandmother, much respected by the Uchiha for her venerable age, was all about order and tradition. She was intensely strict with Fugaku, coming down on even the hardest breach of etiquette.
Fugaku had no siblings, something rare in his generation, and spent time not with his grandmother being trained by older cousins or managing his agemates and younger cousins. Fugaku was large for his age, and had a reputation for being serious with a bad temper. He was a tale telling, rule enforcing, merciless seeker of justice from a young age. Bullied children sought him for protection, though he was just as likely to tell them to toughen up and take care of their own problem without relying on others. An Uchiha should not run crying from a bully, but stand up to them as they were the spine of Konoha’s police force and offense ninja force.
Fugaku ate regular meals with his father, though their conversation was limited to official matters like training and the politics his father and grandmother discussed. Fugaku had to sit attentive, answering when spoken to, and never any time else. Disorder was the enemy of a ninja--so his grandmother preached--and children who did not behave were the prime course of disorder.
At eight, Fugaku witnessed the start of the Second War. The War. It meant very little to him at first, just an abstract concept of destruction and disorder his family talked about, However, Fugaku was in training to be a ninja, out of the Academy by nine and running supplies and messages behind the lines before he was ten. Fugaku was promoted to Chuunin out of necessity. His Sharingan gave him an edge, and he was an adept fighter. Unlike some of his cousins, who specialized in reconnaissance and assassination, Fugaku’s early growth and big frame focussed his training on taijutsu
Fugaku spent the majority of his years during the war cycling between the equivalent of frontline ninja warfare and police work on the home front. He worked with and eventually (when he survived longer than the others) headed up a offensive squad meant to simply blast into the enemy. Fugaku, after breaking his fingers once too often, starting using tonfa in his late teens, which were an ugly and brutal weapon. He wasn’t as adept at genjutsu as most people expected an Uchiha to be, but he did have a knack for kanton. Unfortunately hitting someone with fire at close range wasn’t a great idea. Fugaku took to wearing fire retardant clothes, especially on his face, and developed a rather kamikaze type attack for when he found himself in over his head with an opponent. He used a massive fireball coupled with exploding tags to blast them apart. It didn’t always work as planned and Fugaku has many old burns scars on his hands and arms.
On the home front, Fugaku was a police officer. In his younger years this just meant time to rest, run supplies, rebuild structures, try to keep the civilian scum down with the village was in such crisis. He provided protection for medics going into hostile or questionable areas, assisted with collapsed buildings or other disasters. Fugaku was always itching to get back to the front, where he felt he was more needed.
It wasn’t until the very end of the war Fugaku suffered any major injuries. In the last few weeks of the war, Fugaku has a foray turn south and ended up with a broken hip and femur. Untended for a day or two, there was infection that complicated the healing, and Fugaku ended up spending the rest of the war recovering in a field hospital short on medics and supplies..
During his recovery, Fugaku started back on full time police work, starting with paperwork and going up to more active things. He also began his ardent, if awkward and scripted courtship or Mikoto. Fugaku also began to take over the more unpleasant and unrewarding duties of clan head, and as his father’s hands had developed tremors, wrote most of his father’s correspondence. These three endeavors took up his life until he married Mikoto, shortly after which his father died.
Fugaku and Mikoto’s first child was born the year before the third war started. Fugaku had a few months of rising tension to deal with his first child. His position as clan head, age, child, position as chief of police, and old injury (he never quite recovered full motion in his hip) kept him off the front lines this time around. Fugaku had mixed feelings, and everytime he heard of an Uchiha dead or injured, he wished he were there with them.
Fugaku’s way to dealing with that guilt was to do everything he could on the home front to keep his clan safe. He was rarely physically in his house, checking up on wounded Uchiha, trying to make sure the missing were looked for, and above all making sure the Uchiha as a whole felt their concerns were being heard. For the Konoha civilians he was becoming more fond of, Fugaku answered questions and helped them prepare disaster plans for foreign ninja attacks and the like. He had his clan assist with the construction of safety bunkers that would keep civilians safe of fighting did break out.
Against just about everyone’s advice, Fugaku did make a trip out to the combat zone to check on conditions there, Unfortunately news of his visit was leaked, and he was attacked. Fugaku wasn’t very badly injured, but managed to re-injure his bad leg/hip and tear some back muscles, which effectively took him out of any active war efforts. It also landed him back home for an extended recovery. By this time Itachi was four and very well behaved.
Fugaku paper ran the clan with the help of young runners until about the time when Sasuke was born. Fugaku was still healing when Sasuke came screaming into the world, and as a result Fugaku was subjected to the horrible newborn phase he’d missed with Itachi. While Fugaku had grown up surrounded by cousins and younger relations, and he knew how to take care of a child, he didn’t have much of a clue how to relate to his sons. He got a plethora of unasked for advice from every relation he had, and most of it conflicting. There seemed to be little reason to correct Itachi. He was dutiful and did what was expected of him. Sasuke seemed more concerned with eating things that he shouldn’t. And being held, something Fugaku found disgruntling difficult with his back injury.
Well into his thirties now, two male children and his lineage secured, Fugaku’ difficulties had only started. If the clan was a handful in war, they were like wet cats in peace, yowling and creating trouble everywhere. Fugaku still acted as head of the police force, which was always a busy thing. While the war was over and everyone else’s lives were calming down, Fugaku rarely made it home for anything but to sleep and dinner. His interactions with his sons were often brief check-ups on how they were progressing in their studies. Fugaku got regular reports from the boy’s teachers, and made sure to mention it when they were doing well, though praise was often delivered in an off handed. “You’re making the clan proud” kind of way.
Fugaku has begun to question (question is a strong word, but he does ponder it late at night when he can't sleep) the direction the clan is taking thanks to his sons. For Fugaku, it seemed that they were striding down the right path, but next thing he knew Itachi was in ANBU and never home. Fugaku initially tried to strong arm Itachi into clan duties and responsibility, but Itachi remained reluctant to participate and avoided the older members of his clan especially. Fugaku, who had grown up inundated with clan members, didn’t understand Itachi’s reluctance to deal with them. Eventually Fugaku decided Itachi would come around, and gave him space, but so far it hasn’t happened. Fugaku’s is beginning to think it will never happen, and it has caused him some concern.
As for Sasuke, Fugaku is slowly realizing his younger son is also growing up and away from his clan, which worries him. It’s also caused him to look at others of their generation and see if they to are pulling away from their clan and traditional duties. This has resulted in some uncomfortable interviews with Sasuke and Itachi’s generation of the clan with the clan head about their future dreams and contentment within the clan.
At current, Fugaku’s too busy to do more than ponder the direction his clan should take in the future. His current crusade is to get up the numbers of the police force, who are mostly Uchiha and, while younger than Fugaku, older. Fugaku would also like his two sons to take a greater interest in the clans inner working.

Umino Iruka,
On behalf of the Uchiha clan, I would like to extend an apology for Moriko’s behavior. I would also venture to commend you for your patience in dealing with her behavior. I assure you corrective measures have been taken and urge you to speak to us if her troublesome behavior continues. Particularly before she burns anymore furniture.
