Sasuke Uchiha (うちはサスケ, Uchiha Sasuke) is one of the last surviving members of Konohagakure’s Uchiha clan. After his older brother, Itachi, slaughtered their clan, Sasuke made it his mission in life to avenge them by killing Itachi. He was added to Team 7 upon becoming a ninja. Through competition with his rival and friend, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke began to develop his skills. Dissatisfied with his progress, as was Shindō, they defected from Konoha to acquire the strength and power to exact their revenge. After killing Itachi, Sasuke learns the truth about Itachi’s sacrificeee, falling deeper into darkness. He was instrumental in the ending of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Sasuke decides to dedicate his life to helping Konoha and its inhabitants, referred to as the “Supporting Kage” (支う影, Sasaukage, Literally meaning: Supporting Shadow).[3]
Background[]
Sasuke is the second youngest son of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, naming him after the Sasuke Sarutobi in the hopes he would someday be just as strong of a shinobi.[4] Sasuke grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Itachi, a natural prodigy who many in the Uchiha clan and the village would constantly compare Sasuke and any of his accomplishments too. Sasuke himself adored Itachi, never passing up an opportunity to spend time with him. Although Itachi welcomed his company, letting Sasuke watch him train and taking him on adventures into the forests,[5] Itachi in return rarely helped Sasuke himself become a better shinobi; when asked, he would often instead poke Sasuke’s forehead and promise to do so some other time. Sasuke found this annoying but didn’t allow it to blemish his high opinion of his brother.
On entering the Konoha Ninja Academy, Sasuke proved to be the standout of his class, consistently getting top grades;[6] however, he could never meet the same milestones Itachi had set, resulting in their father paying Sasuke little attention.[7] Aware of his neglect, Itachi, despite being increasingly busy, tried to stand in for their father by giving Sasuke the recognition he craved, at times even blackmailing Fugaku to spend time with Sasuke. As time went on, Itachi started becoming distant and cold towards their family, culminating in a falling out with much of the Uchiha clan on their suspicion that he had murdered his best friend Shisui Uchiha. Sasuke did not understand the reason for this, but he did not mind the side effect: his father began taking an interest in his development. Firstly, he learned the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique which he mastered in a week.[8] Fugaku stated his pride in Sasuke for this accomplishment, but at the same time encouraged him not to follow in Itachi’s footsteps.
Later, Sasuke trained for the rest of the day. That night, he went home only to discover dead bodies littering the streets and blood splattered everywhere.
Personality[]
Appearance[]
According to Hashirama Senju, Sasuke bears a strong resemblance to Izuna Uchiha:[9] he has black eyes and spiky black hair with a blue tint. Sasuke’s hair is long and has hung over his face as bangs since he was a child, which as he gets older he allows to grow longer. He is considered handsome by most girls near his age.
Sasuke’s typical clothing has changed a number of times throughout his life, but the Uchiha clan’s crest is usually present somewhere on his clothing, such as the back of his shirt collar. For most of Part I, he wears a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar, white shorts, and, for a time, white arm warmers. During the Chūnin Exams’ finals, he wears a black, one-piece version of this usual attire with many small belts adorning his left arm and similar bands around both legs. He wears a blue-clothed forehead protector with both of these outfits but starts wearing it less and less after being hospitalized by Itachi, finally abandoning it entirely at the end of Part I.
In Part II, Sasuke consistently wears dark blue pants, over which hangs a blue cloth that covers him from his stomach to his knees, which he secures with a purple rope belt; as is common to Orochimaru and his followers. He initially complements this with a white long-sleeved shirt kept open at the torso and black arm guards that cover his forearms. Leading up to and during his battle with Itachi, he replaces this top with a sleeveless dark grey shirt and the arm guards with bandages on his wrists. He switches after Itachi's death, wearing a white (grey in the anime) zippered, high-collared, short-sleeved shirt and blue wrist warmers. He wears a hooded cloak over his clothing at different points, usually, an unadorned black one during his pursuit of Itachi alongside Hebi, and for a brief time, sporting the trademark Akatsuki cloak, only with a hood instead of the regular high collar.
Sasuke lost his arm at the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, though unlike Naruto, he opts not to have it replaced with a prosthetic arm made of Hashirama Senju’s cells. In his adulthood, Sasuke dons a black cloak with lavender lining over his outfit consisting of a black, long-sleeved shirt and pants with a white belt and white bandages wrapped up to his knees on both legs and black shinobi footwear. He once again wears his forehead protector, letting it hang from his left hip[10] which is also where he now carries his Kusanagi chokutō. As an adult, Sasuke has grown significantly taller, as tall as Naruto who is also one of the tallest amongst their graduate class.
Abilities[]
Sasuke is recognized as a natural prodigy of the Uchiha clan, graduating at the top of his class in the Academy. He made a strong impression on Kakashi Hatake in the bell test and could fight on par with strong shinobi, such as Haku Yuki and Gaara in Part I. After Orochimaru’s tutelage for three years, Sasuke becomes strong enough to fight and even pressure Itachi and the Fourth Raikage. With the Six Paths Chakra, he is compared to the Sage of Six Paths by Kurama and was able to help fight Madara who was the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki. Madara admitted he would have chosen Sasuke over Obito as an apprentice if he had been born years earlier.
Chakra and Physical Prowess[]
Sasuke’s chakra is exceptionally strong, in part due to his Uchiha heritage. Whenever Sasuke’s Curse of Hatred deepens, others remark how much stronger,[11] darker,[12] and more sinister[13] his chakra becomes. His reserves are also very large, enough to use Chidori twice a day during Part I without aid. By Part II, Sasuke could use Chidori and related techniques multiple times in a single day, as well as summoning creatures as large as Manda. His chakra control is very high, though less refined than Sakura’s. As for hand seals, he can perform one-handed hand seals at a greater speed and efficiency, compared to Haku, according to Naruto. Sasuke has also proved to be a capable sensor during his final battle against Naruto, able to sense Naruto’s build-up of chakra and natural energy from Kurama.[14]
Sasuke is very skilled in taijutsu, able to hold his own in hand-to-hand combat against multiple opponents at once. His most consistent physical display is his speed and reflexes, which were further heightened by replicating Rock Lee’s movements.[15] His speed is even shown to match, if not exceed various other fast techniques like the Shield of Sand[16] and Lightning Release Chakra Mode respectively, and enough to physically incapacitate opponents before they realize he has even approached them.[17] Between his increased speed and taijutsu prowess, it becomes very difficult for his opponents to find enough time to perform even a single hand seal.[18]
Sakura, after reencountering Sasuke for the first time in Part II, finds the improvement to his abilities unnaturally high and hypothesizes that he was given drugs by Orochimaru. Orochimaru is known to have experimented on Sasuke, enough to make him immune to poisons.[19] He acquires some of Orochimaru’s attributes after absorbing him, such as additional chakra reserves,[20] a faster healing rate,[21] and the ability to shed his body, all of which are lost when Orochimaru is removed from him. He later receives half of Hagoromo’s power, which he evidently is able to keep.
Cursed Seal[]
Orochimaru brands Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven after their first encounter in Part I. When active, the cursed seal saps Sasuke’s own chakra and replaces it with a larger amount of Orochimaru’s, in turn increasing his strength and speed. Though useful, Sasuke’s early uses of the cursed seal are often involuntary, painful while active, and leave him briefly unable to move afterward. These shortcomings are eliminated once he becomes able to enter the cursed seal’s second state: a transformation that turns his skin gray, his hair lengthens, and he develops wings. The transformation boosts his physical parameters similar to a Naruto’s Version 1 form, which by Part II he can isolate to parts of his body.
Ninjutsu[]
Sasuke learns to summon snakes during his time with Orochimaru. He typically summons them as shields, rapid ground transportation, or to bind targets. Unseen outside of the Animal Path, Sasuke can also summon a second animal species: hawks. His use of hawks is more limited than snakes, using them only for the flight and the additional maneuverability that allows. By adulthood, Sasuke can use the Shadow Clone Technique, able to easily produce eight clones at once.
Bukijutsu[]
Main article: Sword of Kusanagi (Sasuke Uchiha)As an Uchiha, Sasuke is trained with a variety of different ninja tools. When he was a child, he once used (inexpertly) a bow and arrow to hunt a boar with Itachi,[22] practice that later becomes useful for his Susanoo. His area of expertise is in shurikenjutsu, allowing him to throw shuriken and kunai with precision; for complicated or moving targets, Sasuke can guide shuriken to their mark using either wire strings or deflecting them off each other. In addition to remarkable natural speed and coordination for rapid usage, he also employs the Lightning Flash Blade Creation for even faster performance: by sealing shuriken and kunai into his arm bracelets, Sasuke has a large supply ready, allowing him to barrage targets in an instant.
Sasuke begins using a sword after training with Orochimaru, wielding it just as skillfully in either hand or competing against more experienced swordsmen.[23] He can cut down multiple opponents in short periods of time.[24] He uses it defensively as well, blocking incoming projectiles;[25] by adulthood, Sasuke can instantly switch between wielding his sword backhanded and normally even during a clash.[26]
Nature Transformation[]
Sasuke can use all five basic nature transformations, as well as Yin Release;[27] two of which he could utilize at the age of 13. As an Uchiha, he has a strong aptitude for Fire Release, mastering the clan’s Great Fireball Technique years before becoming a genin, a feat which shocked Kakashi. Sasuke can also coat fire around his shuriken, guide his flames along with wire strings or create a succession of dragon-shaped fireballs. His Fire Release-prowess is shown to be strong enough to easily disperse most Water Release techniques,[28] and by channeling chakra through materials, could rapidly increase their temperature ― enough to instantly melt glass.[29] By adulthood, Sasuke shows significant prowess with Water Release, able to quickly generate massive quantities of the element in his hand or summon it from a distance. He noted that his Water Release contains no impurities and does not conduct but insulates electricity.[30] Using Wind Release, Sasuke is able to alter and decrease the surrounding air resistance allowing him to quickly reach his destination.
Sasuke has a natural affinity to Lightning Release, making first use of it with the Chidori taught by Kakashi. While effective at piercing most targets, it is a close-range attack. For this reason, Sasuke uses the principles of Chidori to create several long-range jutsu in Part II, such as throwable needles, extendable swords, and scattershot streams. He often channels his lightning chakra into his sword to increase its cutting power.[31] When using his cursed seal or the Six Paths Chakra, his lightning chakra becomes darker in color, though it is not clear if this changes its actual properties in any way. By adulthood, Sasuke is capable of using his Lightning Release to further augment his speed during the battle.
Dōjutsu[]
Sharingan[]
Main article: Sharingan
Sasuke first awakened his Sharingan on the night of the Uchiha Clan’s Downfall, though he is not able to do so again until several years later during his battle against Haku. Sasuke’s Sharingan is especially potent, as Orochimaru noted that despite not being fully developed at the time, it was even stronger and greater in clarity than Itachi’s.[32] Later, his prowess and skill with his fully matured dōjutsu earned him the nickname “Sasuke of the Sharingan” (写輪眼のサスケ, Sharingan no Sasuke).[33] With the Sharingan, Sasuke can see the flow of chakra, accurately reproduce any movement he sees (his own physical skill permitting), track fastmoving objects, and predict opponents’ movement to a degree. He can also use Genjutsu: Sharingan for broad purposes such as distraction, interrogation, knocking targets out,[34] or placing them under his control.[35] He can use his Sharingan to relay information to others or enter their subconscious, which in the case of jinchūriki allows him to suppress their tailed beasts.[36] His Sharingan was also shown to be able to wipe people’s memory’s within a specific time gap.
Mangekyō Sharingan/Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan[]
Main articles: Mangekyō Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan
Sasuke awakens his Mangekyō Sharingan after Itachi’s death, once he comes to terms with the fact that Itachi did love him and was the single most significant relationship he had. Its design gives the appearance of three intersecting ellipses. Despite greatly augmenting his dōjutsu powers and access to new, additional techniques, it came at the cost of quickly exhausting him as well as straining his health. After Sasuke’s excessive and regular usage of his Mangekyō almost completely deteriorates his eyesight, Sasuke had Obito transplant Itachi’s eyes to gain the “eternal” Mangekyō, just before the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War. The transplanted eyes resemble a cross between Sasuke’s and Itachi’s Mangekyō while also granting Sasuke tremendously improved performance: His chakra drain is reduced considerably while causing no strain to his physical health or sight from extended usage. Likewise, his Eternal Mangekyō is a rare “straight home” (直巴, Choku Tomoe) type, granting him fluidity in his movements when fighting.[37]
With either Mangekyō,[38][39] Sasuke can use Amaterasu, igniting whatever he looks at with black flames that can burn anything. With his right Mangekyō, he can use Kagutsuchi to shape the flames into a variety of forms and purposes, such as spikes to impale people. This ability to manipulate his Amaterasu makes him more skilled than Itachi was with his own.[40] Having awakened the Mangekyō in both his eyes, Sasuke can use Susanoo, a spectral warrior that protects him and acts on his behalf. While its original development was drawn from moments of intense rage, Sasuke became able to produce various portions of the specter to serve his needs, such as ribs for defense or arms to interact with his surroundings. At higher development, he can layer musculature and skin over the bones, and later armor to increase its power. Ultimately, he can produce a significantly larger Complete Body — Susanoo, comparable in size and power to Tailed Beast Mode.
Like all Susanoo, Sasuke’s has two swords at its disposal that it can use against larger targets or to easily destroy nearby structures. More commonly, his Susanoo employs a bow that can fire arrows at rapid speeds and, when needed, double as a shield. The arrows can be fashioned from the same chakra as Susanoo itself, Amaterasu’s flames, or,[41] channelling the tailed beasts’ chakra, or lightning. From lightning, Sasuke can use his strongest attack, Indra’s Arrow.[42] Susanoo can also be formed around the Nine-Tails in order to give it a sword and armor of its own,[43] and serve as a medium for his various techniques like Chidori.[44]
Kekkei Mōra[]
Rinnegan[]
Main article: Rinnegan
After receiving half of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki’s chakra as well as possibly being healed with Hashirama’s cells, Sasuke awakened a Rinnegan in his left eye. This dōjutsu kekkei mōra gives Sasuke the ability of pattern recognition, being able to help him analyze patterns inside codes, and by comparing them to similar patterns, decipher writing.[45] It also grants him access to the various abilities of the Six Paths Techniques, such as forcibly attracting others towards or repulsing others away from him, trap individuals in the Chibaku Tensei through the Deva Path, absorb chakra through the Preta Path, and summon a giant cameleon. He can also use it to see invisible targets and create additional limbs to deal with them, repel the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi,[46] and turn his Susanoo into a vessel for the tailed beasts’ chakra, much like the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Intelligence[]
Sasuke is very intelligent, having earned top scores in all his courses in his Academy class. In combat, while usually offensive without pause, Sasuke is very observant, being mindful of all factors as he goes and analyzing his opponents’ techniques to understand their mechanics and purposes. He is accordingly accustomed to coming up with tactics on the fly, choosing whatever approach, no matter how elaborate, will be most successful at the exact moment. His strategies could be considered irresponsible or risky, as he has on more than one occasion placed himself or his allies in harm’s way. Despite this, his actions have the tendency to pay off, earning praise for his analytical skills from Minato Namikaze and Madara Uchiha.[47]
Despite how he proceeds in the midst of combat, Sasuke does tend to be prepared before entering a fight, or as best as he can: he specifically trains to be faster than Gaara’s sand; he attacks Orochimaru at the moment when his body is weakest; he equips himself with the Lightning Flash Blade Creation so that he can compete with Itachi Uchiha’s speed. He may even have a strategy in mind that he can work towards throughout a fight, as when he spends part of his fight with Itachi creating conditions for Kirin, even relying on Itachi’s own jutsu to facilitate in its use. He has shown tactical sense in teamwork, able to instantly understand an ally's battle plan with little communication and act accordingly to make it successful.[48]

Quotes[]
- (To Itachi) “That’s okay…Just as long as we can be together sometimes.”[53]
- (To Shindō) “”[54]
- (To Team 7) “My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don’t particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I’m going to restore my clan and kill a certain someone.”[55]
- (To Sakura about Team 7) “I know the four of us have worked together. And for a while, I thought I could choose that path instead…but in the end…I’ve decided on revenge. That’s always been my purpose of living.”[56]
- (To Naruto) “Just shut up for once! What the hell do you know about it?! It’s not like you ever had a family in the first place! You were on your own right from the beginning, what makes you think you know anything about it?! Huh?! I’m suffering now because I had those ties, how on earth could you possibly understand, what it feels like to lose all that!”[57]
- (To Tobi) “If you want to ridicule me as a brat swayed by his emotions, go ahead. To accept and adopt Itachi’s intention would be childish. The foolish sputtering of those who don't know hatred.
