Being a direct descendant of a member of the, Kintarō quickly became known throughout history as one of the most powerful to have ever lived, with only his descendant, Madara Uchiha, being ever considered to be on par with his power and skill, and was often referred to as the God of Uchiha (の神うちは, Uchiha no Kami, English TV: Uchiha God) for his legendary feats and reputation.

Background
Kintarō was born about a century following the defeat of, and the direct descendant, and the first reincarnation, of. At the tender age of four, Kintarō already displayed tremendous skills as a, utilizing and  techniques with ease as a result of his direct lineage.

In his adolescence, Kintarō became well-aware of the growing disdain between that possessed similar powers than his own, and feared that a battle would soon break out because of the resentment between the families. As a result, Kintarō decided to strike first before the enemy had a chance to harm them, and rallied his family to fight, who all supported his decision. In order to make sure that other families wouldn't attempt to commit the same actions, Kintarō urged for their family's name to leave a mark, and subsequently announced the disbandment of the, and the creation of the.

For the clan's first-ever action, Kintarō and the rest of the Uchiha launched an unsuspecting assault onto the that lived at the nearby forests, but became surprised to see that the Senju were already expecting their arrival, and had prepared defensive tactics to battle them. Suddenly, a woman appeared before Kintarō and introduced herself as Yaegiri Senju, and exclaimed that through the usage of her Wood Release chakra and the natural connection she possesed with the forest, she was able to spy and overhear the Uchiha's plans, and admitted becoming inspired by his speech, and therefore announced the creation of the before the two parties engaged in combat.

Kintarō and Yaegiri engaged in a all-out battle whilst their respective clans battled each other throughout the area. Kintarō activated his Sharingan while Yaegiri activated her Strength of a Hundred Seal. The sheer pressure and intensity of their battle caused their respective clan members to suddenly stop fighting each other, and spectate their battle in complete shock and awe. As their battle raged on, Kintarō activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and summoned his Susanoo, and Yaegiri quickly releases the seal on her forehead to increase her power, and unleashed a dragon made of wood to clash with Kintarō's Susanoo's attack, and both attacks cancel each other out.

Kintarō then uses his Susanoo to drop a giant meteor from the sky, despite his fellow clansmen being within the attack's range, and Yaegiri quickly notes that Kintarō had become blinded by his thirst of battle, causing him to momentarily forget about his own clan, and Yaegiri creates a dense growth of trees, controlling how it grows using her chakra, and shoots them up towards the sky to destroy the meteor, but the meteor proves to be far too dense for them to break it. Kintarō then regains his common sense and realizes that Yaegiri was trying to save both her allies and her enemies, and aids her in stopping the meteor and with the combination of her Wood Dragon Technique and Kintarō's Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi, they successfully destroy the meteor and successfully protect both clans.

Ashamed of nearly destroying his own clan, Kintarō orders his clan to retreat and admits loss to the Senju, but vows to defeat them during their next encounter, before the Uchiha clan vanish from the battlefield. Back in their territory, Kintarō bows down in shame and asks for forgiveness for nearly wiping out his own clan, but his fellow Uchiha forgive him, stating that Kintarō had simply become too focused on defeating their enemies, and was normal he'd forget about the other participants of the battle. Nevertheless, Kintarō feels utter shame in his actions and thinks about passing down the role of leader of his clan to someone else, but his clansmen urge him to remain in their leadership, stating that his skills were needed to mark the Uchiha as the most powerful clan in the world. Moved by his clan's loyalty, Kintarō vows to bring the Uchiha name to greatness and rallies them on towards their next battle.

Throughout the next several years, Kintarō and the Uchiha continuously engaged Yaegiri and the Senju in battle, with both clans quickly becoming known throughout the world as the two most powerful, and nearly untouchable, clans to have ever existed. However, Kintarō and Yaegiri's constant encounters in battle and their growing respect and admiration for each other's skills resulting in both clan leaders secretly developing feelings for each other, as both believed they were the only ones who could truly understand each other through battle. Despite their feelings for each other, Kintarō and Yaegiri continued battling for years to come, but both were well aware that they loved each other, but prioritized their clan more than their feelings.

Regardless, Kintarō and Yaegiri eventually decided to engage in marriage, and their "wedding ceremony" was an all-out combat between their respective clans, and whorever had most survivors would be declared the winner of the battle. Ultimately, both sides had lost numerous members, and Kintarō and Yaegiri decided to call a draw between them, and retreated back towards their respective territories, while sarcastically bidding each other farewell as husband and wife. Despite their official marriage, neither Kintarō nor Yaegiri had any intentions of reproducing, as they both believed that despite their feelings for each other, their respective clans would never become able to co-exist, and would result in them living a miserable life together, and simply vowed to remain married until their deaths and entrust their clan to their successors.

Ultimately, Kintarō and Yaegiri's lifelong conflict finally came to an end during yet another battle between the two clans. As Kintarō and Yaegiri again engaged in conflict, both were sent flying by an explosion caused by a nearby Explosive Tag. As both Kintarō and Yaegiri recovered and were about to resume their battle, Yaegiri was struck down by a member of the Uchiha Clan, who stabbed her from behind with a sword, leaving Kintarō completely astonished. As the Uchiha Clan member was about to deal the finishing blow, he was subsequently slaughtered by Kintarō himself in a fit of rage with his Susanoo.

As both parties stopped the combat upon witnessing this, Kintarō cursed Yaegiri's attacker for harming her from behind like a coward, and deemed him a "traitor" of the Uchiha for interfering in his battle with Yaegiri, as it was declared "martial law" that no other members of either clan could interject themselves in Kintarō and Yaegiri's battles. Yaegiri used her last remaining strength to confirm her love for Kintarō and expressed utter happiness and pride of their battles and exclaimed she was happy to have met him, before succumbing to her injuries.

Kintarō showcased respect for his deceased wife, and ordered his clan to retreat, and personally returned Yaegiri's body to her clan and bowed down in respect for their fallen leader before retreating. Later that same night, Kintarō launched a party in memory of Yaegiri and delivered a speech about their years of battling, and how Yaegiri was the only that Kintarō ever loved, and declared her a true warrior. However, Yaegiri's death caused Kintarō to fall into a deep depression, as Kintarō's battles since her death lacked any sort of excitement or emotional attachment, with Kintarō expressing disappointment in his opponents being nowhere near Yaegiri's level. As a result, Kintarō decided to end his life in battle by challenging others clans at the same time, all by himself in order to have as much excitement as possible. Despite being drastically outnumbered, Kintarō managed to slay countless members of the, , , and clans before being finally struck down by the , and expressed joy at receiving such an "honorable death" at the hands of a prestigious clan like the Uzumaki before finally succumbing to his injuries.

Personality
Kintarō was an incredibly proud warrior, and was completely devoted towards his. Kintarō's childhood was a product of the times he lived in: the constant fighting made him thoroughly enjoy battling and perfecting his own skills, and despite his tremendous power and natural skills, Kintarō never showed any signs of arrogance, as Kintarō actually proved himself to be a perfectionist, believing that this skills and power were never "good enough" and strived to become stronger each and every day of his life.

Despite what his personality might display in the eyes of others, Kintarō never showed any signs of hatred or resentment towards any other or their members despite battling them throughout his entire life, as Kintarō's motives for attacking others was simply to protect his own clan, as the growing disdain and resentment towards different families would possibly cause for each and everyone of them to be wiped out, Kintarō ultimately decided to fire the first shot to make sure that the eventual conflict would become "balanced" and prevent all clans from being brought to extinction. As such, Kintarō never truly fell victim to his clan's "", and only participated in combat to hone his own skills and protect his clansmen from harm.

Although the Uchiha Clan were always at the forefront on his mind, Kintarō showed deep and genuine respect towards who proved themselves a good challenge for him, such as Yaegiri Senju, and their constant conflicts over their lifetimes caused them to develop genuine respect and admiration for each other's skills, and ultimately, caused them to become romantic involved with one another, although they continued their constant battles for territory, as they both shared the belief that fighting each other was their true "married life", and declared "martial law" towards their respective clans that nobody was allowed to interject themselves in their battles.

Resulting from his battle-loving traits, Kintarō occasionally allows his emotions to cloud his judgment and/or completely erase any sort of common sense, seen during his first encounter with Yaegiri and the Senju clan, as Kintarō dropped a giant meteor onto the battlefield out of sheer excitement and battlethirst, resulting in complete disregard for his own safety, or his clan's, although Kintarō quickly snapped out of this and momentarily joined forces with Yaegiri to destroy the meteor, and subsequently admitted defeat out of pure shame for his actions, and begged his clan for forgiveness, and was utterly moved and touched by his clan's loyalty upon hearing their approval and support of his abilities, showing the softer and kinder side of himself.

Following Yaegiri's untimely death at the hands of a member of his own clan (whom Kintarō subsequently slaughtered for breaking their "martial law" and killing his wife, the love of his life and the only warrior whom Kintarō considered worthy of his attention), Kintarō fell into a deep depression of which Kintarō never truly recovered, and everytime Kintarō would engage in battle, he would always display an emotionless facial expression, even when delivering and taking hits in battle, believing that his life held no more meaning since Yaegiri's death and ultimately wished to die to rejoin her in the, and subsequently participated in a deathbattle against several clans at the same time in order to die an "honorable death" worthy of his wife and died with a smile on his face as a result of being struck down by the , a distant relative of his wife's clan.
