Sasuke as the Emperor
The maneki neko, commonly known as the lucky or beckoning cat, is a bobtail of Japanese folklore believed to bring good fortune. In early Japan, bobtails were considered pets only of those with nobility status.
Legend of the beckoning cat tells the story of how an Emperor was saved by a cat from being struck by lightning. The Emperor felt in debt with the cat and pronounced that cats should be respected and considered sacred.
Prior to the pursuit of Itachi, Sasuke and Team Hebi went to Sky Ward where the Uchiha munitions store was located. His team was helped by Granny Cat and the image above shows Sasuke extending gratitude.
The Uchiha may also be generally associated to the symbols of Imperial power through their Fire techniques:
- Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique). The Dragon is a symbol of the Emperor.
- Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Art of the Dragon's Breath, Phoenix Technique). The hō (鳳) in hōsenka (鳳仙火) refer to the male phoenix. The Phoenix that which symbolizes the Empress is the Chinese feng huang or Japanese hō-ō (鳳凰). It was initially a combination of the male (鳳) and female phoenix (凰) but was later on merged as one. From this perspective, it may be seen that the Uchiha seemingly represent the male correlative.
Hinata as the Empress

Music of the Imperial Court
Gagaku is a traditional classical music performed in the Imperial household. The ensemble is consisted of three wind instruments (hichiriki, ryuuteki, shou) and three percussion instruments (gakoo, shoko, taiko/dadaiko) with the addition of the gakubiwa.
The largest of the drums used are called dadaiko ; these drums are hung in a frame and are intricately decorated. Each drum is associated either to the left (saho dadaiko) or right (uho dadaiko).

• Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki •
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the first human to use chakra obtained from eating the fruit of the God Tree. Her dōjutsu were a pair of Byakugan and a single Sharingan.
She had the title of a Princess - depicting the nobility status of, presumably, the origins of the Uchiha and Hyuga.
