Personality: Kuga is confident, but without being cocky. He never second-guesses himself, and makes it a priority to be informed and to be right. He seems to have a sadistic sense of humor at times, and respects only one group, Akatsuki. He can be just as manipulative as the next person. He's always cool and calm, making it almost impossible to put pressure on him, in or out of battle. It also seems like he's always one step ahead...

Weapon(s): Mazuki: It's appearance is in Ryu's appearance.
Clan (Blood trait): Half-Uchiha/half-Hyuuga
Bio: Kuga is the first of his kind. He is a Uchiha and Hyuuga. He has the ability to use the Sharingan and byakugan at the sametime. His mother was a Uchiha that had fallen in love with a Hyuuga who was Kuga's father and part of the main branch. When Kuga was born, Kuga's father and mother were ridiculed for having a mixed clan son. This was a bad thing to have a child that was part of the Hyuuga clan and Uchiha clan since they were always trying to see which clan was the better clan in Konoha. Kuga's father was looked down at since he was of the Head Branch and his mother was looked down at since she was a Uchiha. Deciding, Kuga's mother and father left the Uchiha village and Hyuuga house and lived in the middle of Konoha.
As Kuga began growing up, he was teased by the other kids for being a half breed. He had no friends except one child that was only his friend because Kuga was both a Uchiha and Hyuuga. Kuga's father and mother began training Kuga at age 5. He was the quickest learner among all the genin. He had skills that no other genin could match. At age 8, Kuga had become a Chunnin. Kuga was showing skills that rivaled ANBU even though he was only a Chunnin. He quickly gained the title of Jounin at age 12 and created a taijutsu called Dragon Shadow.
During his Jounin years, Kuga learned so many skills. His speed rivaled Itachi's speed and may be even faster. He could use one handed hansigns which he learned at the sametime that Itachi had learned. It was during this time that Kuga learned that his father and bestfriend were planning to kill Kuga. They believed Kuga to be a monstrisity that was becoming too powerful. They attacked him the next day and Kuga struck them down with ease. After killing his father and bestfriend, Kuga gained the Mangekyou Sharingan and he was attacked by the ninjas that saw him kill his father and his bestfriend. Kuga didn't care since now he was dead set on killing all that challenged him. No one could handle him and he even took out some ANBU. Finally he like it was time for him to go since everyone seemed to hate him. After slashing his handband, Kuga left Konoha with pure hatred for the Leaf Village.
After a couple years, Kuga had acquired the Mazuki and became one of the 7 legendary swordsmen. It was not soon after when Kuga found himself against an Akatsuki member named Itachi. Itachi and Kuga battle was amazing but Kuga came out on top, killing Itachi. Right after this battle, the Akatsuki leader appeared before Kuga to extend an invite to join the Akatsuki. Kuga agreed and has been with the Akatsuki for awhile. His skills have improved and he even learned the Raikiri after seeing Kakashi use it in a battle when he had to go to Konoha.
Jutsus:
Taijutsus:
Dragon Shadow taijutsu - This is Kuga's own created taijutsu. It incorporates the Gentle fist style in some parts. This taijutsu is heavy on speed, and counter attacks to do massive damage. It utilizes chakra in each part of the body to give more strength to each blow. With the help of the Byakugan, and Sharingan this taijutsu is one of the best taijutsu.
Eight Trigrams Empty Palm: This jutsu is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, the user does a palm thrust at an opponent while expelling a large burst of chakra from their palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not need to be within reach of the user for the attack to be effective.
Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin: This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from the user's chakra points when struck. The released chakra blocks any possible attack. The user then spins themselves rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any would-be attackers.
Eight Trigrams Palms Great Heavenly Spin: This jutsu is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: This jutsu closes off sixty-four specific chakra points (tenketsu) on an opponent's body with the Gentle Fist style, effectively eliminating their ability to use chakra for quite some time and making it quite difficult for them to move. It begins with the closing of two chakra points, followed by four more, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and then sixty-four strikes. Each set of strikes is done at an increasing pace.
Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms: This jutsu is essentially a doubled version of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Like the former, it closes off the opponent's chakra points in an exponentially increasing number of quick successive strikes. Unlike the former, it closes off twice as many (128) at twice the speed. Alternatively, it can be used to hit a great number of targets very quickly. It has a slightly different stance than the lesser form in which the upper body is slightly rotated to the right. This stance activates the characters at the edge of his divination field, beginning the technique.
Eight Trigrams Three-Hundred-Sixty-One Style: This jutsu is considered the most powerful technique within the Hyuga clan, and is generally used as a last resort. When using this technique, the speed of the user is comparable to that of the Reverse Lotus. This jutsu allows the user to strike all 361 chakra points of the opponent, paralyzing them with each blow and instantly killing them upon the final hit.
Gentle Fist: The Gentle Fist style of combat aims to damage the body's chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture or divert flow. Alternatively, or as an added bonus, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name. Because the chakra circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively. Because there is no way to train the internal organs against injury, this technique is capable of causing damage no matter how physically powerful the opponent.
Ninjutsus:
Blade of Wind: This jutsu creates a blade of wind. The blade is impossible to block because of its intangible nature. Unlike the Cutting Whirlwind Technique, this jutsu requires no tool. Baki uses it to kill Hayate Gekko.
Body Flicker Technique: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.
Fire Release: Ash Product Burning: Unlike other fire-based jutsu, this jutsu allows the user to breathe out a cloud of superheated ash capable of causing third-degree burns. Because it is ash and not flame, the ash remains in the air around the target, and therefore remains potent for a longer period.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique: The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters this technique, they are recognized as an adult. This technique also seems to be fairly common amongst Konoha's Chunin-level ninja.
Cutting Whirlwind Technique: Using his sword, Kuga can create concentrated gusts of wind mixed with chakra, creating a windstorm that slices through objects in a targeted area. Kuga can control the windstorm with chakra, allowing him to catch his opponents in slicing tornadoes.
Great Cutting Whirlwind Technique: This jutsu is a more powerful version of the Cutting Whirlwind Technique.
Lightning Blade (Raikiri): This jutsu is an enhanced form of the One Thousand Birds, and has the same, albeit more powerful, effect. Kakashi is the only one able to use it, and it is named as such because he once cut a lightning bolt with it before it hit the ground. This jutsu requires a larger amount of chakra and better chakra control. This is exemplified in their respective appearances. Whereas One Thousand Birds creates a large mass of chakra in one hand that appears near-white, the Lightning Blade is considerably more concentrated and appears in the normal blue color of chakra. Kuga can only use this technique five times in a given day.
Shadow Clone Technique: Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. Unlike other clones, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can tell the difference during his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End.
Any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience the user gains is multiplied by the total number of clones being used to train. Using it in this manner is far more difficult, however, since a large number of clones are needed to make a significant difference in the training time. It's unclear if other types of clones possess this advantage.
This technique is considered dangerous because of the manner in which the clones are created. Because the user divides their chakra among the clones, the user could potentially use up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones, such as Naruto does with Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, this jutsu's enhanced (and forbidden) form. Naruto is able to use this technique to the extremes that he does because of his tailed beast, the nine-tailed demon fox, which gives him an abnormally high chakra level. Even without the demon fox's chakra, Naruto can make quite a few clones, but nowhere near on the level he can when he has access to the demon fox's chakra. The technique can also be dangerous if the user is injured or has some otherwise debilitating physical condition at the time of the cloning, since all of the clones will be created in roughly the same state.
Water Prison Technique: This jutsu is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. Clones can be used in place of the actual person, provided that the clone is the one that performed the technique. This jutsu can't be performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it. Neji Hyuga has been able to use his ability to release chakra from all of his pressure points to disrupt the flow of chakra inside the prison and break free. Despite the fact that the prison is made up entirely out of water, and the target is unable to move while within it, the target is still able to breathe and speak.
Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave: Using this jutsu, the user can spit a massive amount of water from their mouth. This technique was used by Kisame to cover a significant portion of a desert with water while engaging Might Guy and his team. The water can then be used for other water-based jutsu.
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique: This jutsu is used to fire a massive spiraling blast of water at an opponent.
Water Release: Water Dragon Blast Technique: Using this jutsu, the user creates a huge current of water in the form of a serpentine dragon and directs it towards a target. The water used to create the dragon must be present to perform the technique. This technique requires 54 hand seals to perform, more than five times that of almost every other jutsu shown in the series.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough: This jutsu sends out a powerful explosion of wind from the user's location, easily leveling anything in its path. A variation of this technique involves a smaller blast of wind that gets ignited with flame, making it stronger and more damaging to the target.
Genjutsus:
Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change: Using the Sharingan's jutsu-copying abilities, Itachi can reverse any genjutsu back on its original user.
Bloodline Limit Jutsus:
Byakugan: The Byakugan, literally White Eyes, (or Evil Eye as it is known in the English translations) is a very special condition of the eye that occurs naturally in all members of the Hyuuga clan. While it is believed that the Byakugan is genetically related to the Uchiha clan Sharingan, it is capable of many things the Sharingan is not and as Hatake Kakashi states, in terms of insight the Byakugan surpasses even his own Sharingan.
Used mainly as a taijutsu technique, the Byakugan gives it's user many great abilities including the ability to have a 360 degree field of vision, except for one tiny blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebra, this tiny spot is the only known weakness of this special ability. With the Byakugan activated it's user has the ability to detect anything that moves around them in a 50 foot radius, making the Byakugan a difficult task to fight against.
When used with chakra the Byakugan becomes more powerful and can see through most solid matter over extremely long distances and allows it's user to see the inner coil system of the enemy, opening them to an attack on their tenketsu (Chakra Holes) by the hand of the juken (Gentle Fist). Only very advanced users of the Byakugan such as Hyuuga Neji can use the aforementioned juken technique, but when used successfully it can shut off the chakra flow of the opponent which has disasterous effects.
Sharingan: The Sharingan, literally Copy Wheel Eye, is a very special condition of the eye that occurs naturally in some members of the Uchiha Clan. While it is believed to have been derived from the Hyuuga clan Byakugan the abilities of the Sharingan differ greatly from those of the Byakugan. Most notably the Sharingan's most well known ability is to be able to memorize any technique that it has been a witness to including nijutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu techniques. Other abilities of this very special eye include hypnosis, allowing it's user to suggest actions and thoughts to the opponent. The Sharingan also has the very useful ability to see through any illusionary technique.
Just like the Byakugan, the Sharingan also has one main weakness, while it is not a blind spot as the Byakugan has, this weakness could be more physically dangerous. When used for an extended period of time, in some cases, it drains the chakra of the user quite quickly. Any user of the Sharingan must have a good amount of chakra and stamina in order to successfully copy a technique, however, no amount of chakra will allow it's user to copy the abilities of another clans exclusive bloodline abilities, or allow him to summon a creature with whom he has not made a contract with. Along with all these, the worst opponent a Sharingan user could ever come up against is one who specializes in taijutsu such as Rock Lee. Because no hand seals involving chakra are required for taijutsu they can not easily be copied unless the user has extraordinary amounts of strength, agility, and stamina to keep up with the swift moves of a taijutsu user.
Unlike the Byakugan, the Uchiha clan Sharingan does not appear automatically at birth in an Uchiha clan member. Instead the Sharingan will typically not show up until the user is faced with a life threatening situation, the Sharingan will activate and help to save the life of the user, and after the first appearance of the Sharingan, the user can call upon the use of the Sharingan at any time he pleases. One interesting fact about the Sharingan is that you can gauge the power of the Sharingan user by counting the dots in the person's eye. One dot would be a beginner, two an intermediate, and three dots are found in each eye of a matured adult Sharingan user. It is not unusual to find a user whose two eyes contain different amount of dots, such as Uchiha Sasuke who initially had two dots in one eye, and just a single dot in the other eye, until eventually both eyes evened out as he matured.
Mangekyou Sharingan: The Mangekyou Sharingan, literally Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye, is a higher form of the Uchiha clan Sharingan. Until recently, it was thought that only natural Sharingan users could obtain that technique, but it seems that Kakashi proved everyone wrong by activating the Mangekyou Sharingan to rip off one of Deidara's arms. The Mangekyou Sharingan is not easy to obtain however for those who are not made of cold blood as they must make a tremendous sacrifice in order to obtain it, they must kill their best friend. In Itachi's case, we learned that he killed Uchiha Shisui. As for Kakashi, his best friend, Uchiha Obito, sacrificed himself to save him, making Kakashi a potential Mangekyou Sharingan user. However, despite its immense destructive power, the Mangekyou Sharingan is a double edged sword. Hence, the Sharingan 'causes a terrible strain on the user's eyes and eventualy deteriorate his eyesight. Morevover, using the Mangekyou Sharingan uses enourmous amounts of Chakra. And for unatural users of the Sharingan, such as Hatake Kakashi, it's even worse. But, despite its drawbacks, the Mangekyou Sharingan is the deadliest technique known to this day.
Amaterasu: Named after the Shinto sun goddess, Amaterasu, this legendary jutsu is unique to the Uchiha clan. The jet-black flames are said to be hotter than the sun, and will burn for seven days and seven nights. Since the Mangekyo Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, not many have learned it; therefore, the specific details of this jutsu are as yet unrevealed. Not surprisingly, it appears to use a large amount of chakra, as Itachi had to rest after using both it and Tsukuyomi in succession.
Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades: Utilizing the abilities of the Sharingan, the user is able to control shuriken that have wire cords attached to them (two held with the hands and one with the mouth) and manipulate their paths to tie an opponent to a nearby large object, binding them. If there is no object, the shuriken will impale the opponent.
Tsukuyomi: Named after the Shinto moon god, Tsukuyomi, this jutsu is one of the most powerful genjutsu in existence. It is unique to the Uchiha clan and only those with the Mangekyo Sharingan can perform it. When executed, the jutsu traps the target in an illusionary world that is completely controlled by the user. While it only takes a few seconds to complete in the real world, the user can make it seem as if days have passed for the target. Depending on the user's whim, they can either torture their target for days on end, or make them relive a traumatic event over and over. Once the jutsu is finished, the target will not be able to fight for some time, if they don't suffer complete mental collapse.
While the illusion is never the same twice, some elements always remain. The first and foremost similarity is the red moon, which hangs in the sky of each illusion. The moon, in turn, casts a red light throughout the illusion, giving the background a blood-red appearance while the figures within the illusion are solid black with white outlines.
Because the Sharingan is the main factor in executing this jutsu, eye contact is required. When he used it on Sasuke Uchiha, however, Itachi seemed to force Sasuke to open his eyes. Sasuke had both eyes closed prior to Itachi's activation of the technique, but opened them in shock as Itachi used the technique. Alternatively, Itachi may have simply caused Sasuke enough pain to open his eyes, or Sasuke did so by himself, despite how unwise such an action was.
Such a powerful technique is not without its disadvantages, though. Because of the complexity of the illusion and the quickness with which it is executed, an enormous amount of chakra is necessary to perform it.
Tsukuyomi: Black Dream: Kuga traps the enemy in a Tsukuyomi illusion, causing them to see the ground beneath their feet break open, plummeting them into a huge chasm. The torment ends when a column of fire slams them into the pit.
Fire Release: Black Fire Dragon Blast: Kuga created this jutsu. Using a large ammount of chakra, a black flame in the shape of a dragon, is exhaled from the users mouth. This technique is second only to Kuga's Amaterasu as it is as hot as the sun, but not as powerful of a technique. One must have Mangekyou sharingan to use this technique.
Forbidden Jutsus: none
