Ryūjin Mizuichi (水一龍神, Mizuichi Ryūjin) is the older brother of Kenshin Uchiha. He is one of the last surviving members of the Uchiha clan as well as one of the few not affiliated with Konoha and is known to a few people by his real name, Ryūjin Uchiha (団扇龍神, Uchiha Ryūjin).
Appearance
Ryūjin bears a striking resemblance to his younger brother Kenshin. He is a fairly tall, lean-built person with peach skin and onyx eyes. He is slightly shorter than his brother but a little more muscular. He always has a very stoic expression on his face. He normally dresses in formal clothes which match his serious demeanor. He used to wear his hair long as a kid with a pony tail holding it back. But of late he has cut his hair short and lets it fall in a messy manner around his face.
Personality
Ryūjin’s personality is in contrast with that of his brother Kenshin. He appears as a calm, serious, aloof, and detached man. He is a very serious person and very little seems to surprise him, and he rarely smile. He is a very honourable man. He refuses to give up when he believes something is wrong and will even break a rule to do what he thinks is right. But the most striking aspect of his personality is his unwavering love for his younger brother Kenshin. Though they were separated a few days after Kenshin’s birth, Ryūjin loves him with all his heart as Kenshin is the only family he has left. He even left Konoha and went into hiding so that the ANBU would not connect Kenshin with him.
Seeing his parents' deaths had a big impact on him and he is very reluctant to trust people. He holds himself responsible for his parents' deaths as he thinks that if he hadn't lost control of his sharingan and commited murder his parents would still be alive. He thinks that he is the reason why his brother never knew his parents and is convinced that Kenshin hates him because of that.
Background
Survival
Ryūjin’s grandfather Shido was born on the day of the Uchiha Massacre. At the time preceding the Uchiha Massacre, Shido's mother was pregnant with him. At the time of the massacre she was not due for a few more months. When Itachi attacked, she saw her husband getting killed and this emotional shock caused her to go into premature labour. She managed to hide and gave birth to Shido. He came into the world just when almost all of his clan mates were leaving it. His mother realised that Itachi planned to kill everyone and came up with a plan to save her child. She escaped with with Shido through a secret way through their house. She then set her house on fire so as to hide any evidence of their survival. She then travelled away from the village and ultimately ended up in Kirigakure.
She opened a small shop there and started a new life. Shido grew up as a Kirigakure ninja and kept his Uchiha roots hidden. He ultimately married and had a daughter Kagome, Ryūjin and Kenshin’s mother. Kagome was told to never reveal her sharingan to anyone and so had to hide her power. She was very restless and irritated by the fact that she had to keep her sharingan hidden from everyone. On hearing about her ancestry and how Sasuke fought against Konoha after Itachi’s death made her think that Konoha was to blame for her having to stay hidden as her father had told her nothing about the massacre. So after her training was finished she left Kirigakure and went to Konoha with the intention of trying to destroy the village and release all of her pent up anger against the village and its people. She settled in the village as a grocer and lived in as one for a few years. Finally when she had everyone convinced that she was a simple grocer she started to secretly kill off ANBU members and various important members of the village.
Birth and Early Years
But at this time something happened that she had not expected. She fell in love with a man who used to work at her shop, Ryuichi Tatsu. She soon stopped with her vendetta against the village and married Ryuichi. After a few years she became pregnant with their first child and gave birth to Ryūjin. Ryūjin was loved by both his parents and grew up in a very happy and safe environment.
Ryūjin was a very prodigiously talented boy. But when he was 5 years of age an incident occurred that awakened his sharingan. One day when he was playing, he was attacked by some elder kids. The bullies started to hit him and his friends. He begged them to stop but they turned a deaf ear to his pleas. Finally something inside Ryūjin broke and he awakened his sharingan. Without knowing what he was doing he killed one of the bullies.
This incident set off the ANBU. On talking to the other children they realised that Ryūjin had the sharingan. Though Kagome had modified their memories via gengutsu, the ANBU manged to extract the truth after some time. As it so happened, at that time she was pregnant with Kenshin.
Breaking Bonds
Just a few months before Kenshin was born the ANBU had confirmed that Ryūjin had the sharingan. As the village elders did not want a sharingan user loose they ordered the murder of the entire family. When the ANBU assassins attacked, Kagome saw her husband getting killed and this emotional shock caused her to go into premature labour jaut as with her grandmother. She managed to hide along with the then 6 year old son Ryūjin and gave birth to Kenshin. His mother realised that the ANBU planned to kill everyone and came up with a plan to save her children. She gave Kenshin to Ryūjin and told him to escape through a secret way through their house. She then used a replacement technique to fake Ryūjin's death and made it appear that she was still pregnant. This way when the ANBU found her they thought that both her children were accounted for and killed her. By sacrificing her life she managed to protect her sons.
Ryūjin ran out of the village and after a few hours reached a house where a single ninja called Yusuke lived. Ryūjin had often visited Yusuke with Ryuichi and knew him well. Yusuke took the frightened child in and gave him shelter and protection. In his shocked and frightened state Ryūjin told Yusuke everything. After a few days Ryūjin decided that he should leave as people in the village knew him and he could no longer trust them. Realising that Yusuke was a kind man who could be trusted, he asked Yusuke to take care of his brother and to keep the fact that he was an Uchiha hidden. He also asked him to never reveal anything he had told him and to keep Kenshin in the dark. Yusuke, saddened to see how the young Ryūjin had been forced to grow mature so soon agreed to every request.
Ryūjin knew that his past would someday come back to haunt him and thus did not want Kenshin to be caught up with him. So he broke all ties with his brother and left for Kirigakure.

Brothers
A few years later, when Ryūjin was 16 years old, he heard that Yusuke was dead. On hearing of Yusuke’s death, Ryūjin decided it was time to reunite with his brother. He travelled to Komugakure and sought out his kid brother. He learned that Kenshin had not been seen since Yusuke’s death. Ryūjin finally found Kenshin hiding in a cave near the village. Kenshin was shocked by the arrival of this stranger and attacked him. But Ryūjin avoided his attacks and revealed his sharingan. Seeing another Uchiha, Kenshin calmed down. Ryūjin then told Kenshin of their relationship and of their history. Kenshin was so shocked that he ran away. He spent the night thinking about what his “brother” had said. In his confusion he somehow placed all the blade on Ryūjin and asked him to leave. Disappointed and hurt, Ryūjin returned to Kiri and continued his duties as one of the Seven Swordsmen though from that day onwards he started to become a more dark and gloomy person.
Abilities
Kenjutsu
He is a very skilled swordsman and wields the Kaminari ha, one of the sharpest blades in the world. His fighting style favours speed and finesse instead of raw power. He uses his great speed to great effect. He makes precise strikes and as few sword swings as required. He can use his sharingan to read his opponents movements and almost predict their movements.
Weapons
Kaminari ha

Kaminari ha is unique blade which was passed down to Ryūjin by his master. It appears as a normal katana but its blade is much straighter. Its sheath and hilt are black in color. It is a unique sword with an affinity for lightning. When Ryūjin feeds chakra into it the sword converts it into very strong lightning. This lighting can be used to extend the length of the sword to use as a spear or used for long range attacks in a manner similar to Chidori Senbon by shape transformation. After feeding chakra into it Ryūjin can release small needles of electricity similar to the Senbon by swinging the sword. The centrifugal force created causes the needles to fly out at a high speed. This allows it to be used as a long range weapon as well. Ryūjin can also let the lightning run along the length of the blade so that it will run along the blades length and on coming in contact with an enemy’s sword transfer onto that blade and through that run onto the enemy to shock him.
