I've read that when a certain chakra nature is hereditary for a specific clan,
MOST of the members have an affinity for that chakra nature. However, it has
been stated that the Uchihas are known for their fire nature chakra. Does this
mean that a majority of the Uchihas had fire nature chakra, or that they all
have it?

"Affinity can at times be genetic, or **at least common** to a particular
family; **most members** of the Uchiha clan have an affinity towards the Fire
nature." (<http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nature_Transformation#cite_ref-
Element_1-0>)

question
naruto
Do all Uchihas have fire nature chakra?


Yes, all Uchiha have their natural affinity towards Fire. It is like a default
setting, to put it in simpler terms. In the article you provided, it also
states that:

> In general, every person's chakra has an affinity towards one of the five
> basic nature transformations.

Being the descendants of [Indra
Ōtsutsuki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Indra_%C5%8Ctsutsuki) it is logical to
think that every Uchiha in the clan would hold a natural affinity towards the
Fire element:

> [Indra] could use Yin Release, and, in the anime, was shown skilled in the
> usage of **Fire** and Lightning Release since his childhood.

Also, from the wiki article on the [Uchiha
Clan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Uchiha_clan) which might suggest that only
true Uchiha have that affinity towards fire:

> They also have an especially potent chakra quality as well as a natural
> affinity for the fire nature transformation; Uchiha are not truly considered
> adults until they can successfully perform the Fire Release: Great Fireball
> Technique.

Ero Sennin's answer is very good. I would also like to add that the Uchiha all
use the Goukakyuu no jutsu. The official wiki states that:

> The Uchiha clan uses this technique as a "coming of age" rite

This is just further proof that that the Uchiha all have a fire affinity, or
else, this would not be a thing.
