I’m pro-Uchiha, so to say. I do believe their actions were warranted, considering that they were under harsh surveillance all the time, barred from inter-village decisions, and completely removed from the center of the village. The Uchiha had been systematically pushed out of the center of the village for years, first politically, and then physically after the kyuubi attack led by Obito. Yes, they were a founding clan–Uchiha Madara, ironically, was the one to help found the village. Not someone from the Sarutobi, not the Shimura, not the Yamanaka or the Aburame.
Why would any of the other clans have more of a claim to that spot than someone of the Uchiha/Senju bloodline? They don’t. They didn’t face the discrimination that the Uchiha faced–no, the Uchiha may have been branded mentally unstable–but it’s becoming quite apparent that a shinobi’s life leaves mental scarring.
Doubly so, considering the sharingan records everything in stunning detail. Not only is this a failing for the Uchiha-clan–but for everyone, the lack of mental healthcare. it is not until after the war that Sakura realizes this and makes a point of mental healthcare. This is too-little-too-late.
The Uchiha were systematically failed by the government that their clan leader helped found. They were disrespected, hated, and abhorred but still stayed in the village. Finally, they decided to rise to make their lives better. And that ultimately led to their demise at Itachi’s hands.
