Art of Fighting against the Divine

The, is a personal philosophy of Ikuto Uchiha. The basis behind this idea is to defeat seemingly god-like opponents with one's own power and will.

Ikuto Uchiha developed this philosophy in the belief that one does not need immerse chakra and power to accomplish great things. It's a ideal rooting from a self-esteem lapse in Ikuto's childhood that developed into a personal-will in order to give himself the confidence to fight against absurd odds, and accomplish what he normally could not with his lazy demeanor. It also translates into his life philosophy and Will of Fire, which states that true shinobi must love, believe, cherish and fight for their village's sakes. Combined with his "Art of Fighting against the Divine", Ikuto has developed a powerful sense of self belief and will.

With this philosophy in contrast to Ikuto's pacifism, Ikuto has become a challenger of people who seemingly possess immerse powers beyond the norm. He has stated that it was "his wish to defeat and humble the greatest of shinobi in order to give the weakest of ninja the belief to grow strong." Although this ideal has nearly lead to his death against vastly superior foes, his determination and self-belief have led him to become a observant fighter. Additionally, this ideal forced him to remove any previous arrogance in order to survive these seemingly invincible opponents.

Examples of people he challenged with this belief were Killer B, Orochimaru, and the Nine Tailed Fox. While he survived the encounters with barely his life, he notes that it would be suicide to attempt it again.

Trivia

 * The Nine Tailed Fox noted that Ikuto was "...an observant little man, one that understood the power of will and self-belief..."
 * Ikuto frequently admits that this philosophy will one day lead to his eventual demise, but accepts the fact that he may die as martyr to the shinobi world.
 * Humorously, Ikuto is a pacifists by heart and usually avoids fighting with extremely powerful foes. It's only when the power becomes a ridiculous level does he begin to have the urge to fight.
 * Ikuto believes that any ninja can defeat a godlike character out of their own intelligence and will.
 * Quote: "...Any godmod can destroy the world...but who will stop them? Will you be the one to prove that a nonbeliever can defy a god?"
 * Ikuto is not daft enough to admit he can always win. He will not challenge if it's pointless to test someone's power.
