Background / History
Sasuke was the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan extermination. Konoha publicly blamed his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, for killing the clan and defecting; Sasuke believed this account after witnessing his parents' deaths and spending seven days hospitalized. The event left him silent, brooding, and driven by hatred. 10
At the Academy, he maintained a recurring rivalry with Hinata Hyuga. He repeatedly challenged her to defend the Uchiha name, but Hinata did not hold back in their duels and defeated him in taijutsu class. She also challenged his belief that restoring the Uchiha required strength alone, arguing that it required descendants. 10 18
Sasuke later followed Orochimaru in pursuit of greater power. Even after his training vastly improved his strength, he considered himself far below Hinata and remained dissatisfied with his progress. 252 His future self eventually revealed the history behind the clan extermination, Itachi's role, the Nine-Tails incident, and the Uchiha coup. Sasuke initially still sought revenge against Konoha, but began reconsidering the conflict after reflection. 252 253 254
After receiving Urashiki's chakra from his future self, Sasuke's body, chakra reserves, and combat strength rose sharply. He left Orochimaru's control, confronted him directly, and escaped after fighting both Orochimaru and a reincarnated Hashirama. 364 366 367
Personality
Sasuke is intensely proud of the Uchiha name and sees himself as responsible for restoring its glory. He initially equates power with revenge, but later shifts toward making the Uchiha name feared across the Ninja World—and eventually the universe—through his own strength. 366 577
He is cold, competitive, and prone to impulsive challenges when confident in new power. His confrontation with Six Paths Madara exposes his lack of experience controlling his advanced abilities. 372 591
Despite his harsh demeanor, Sasuke rejects Orochimaru's treatment of people as disposable tools and objects to experimentation on prisoners. He rarely kills indiscriminately, reserving lethal intent for those he believes he must kill. 366

- Uses powerful genjutsu against Orochimaru. 366

Story Role / Major Arcs
Uchiha Clan Extermination
Sasuke survives the massacre of the Uchiha clan, believes Itachi alone is responsible, and becomes consumed by hatred and the need to prove Uchiha strength. 10
Orochimaru Training and the Future Sasuke Intervention
While training under Orochimaru, Sasuke meets his future self and learns that the destruction of the Uchiha was tied to Konoha, the Nine-Tails incident, and the coup. He begins questioning whether revenge against Konoha is justified. 252 254
Break with Orochimaru
Empowered by Urashiki's chakra, Sasuke rejects Orochimaru's authority, attacks his hideout, battles an Impure World Reincarnation Hashirama, and escapes. 365 366 367
Revenge Against Danzō
Sasuke confronts Danzō with prior knowledge of Izanagi. When Danzō uses Kotoamatsukami, Hinata helps Sasuke enter Sage Mode, allowing him to inflict lasting damage. 377
Conflict with Konoha and Itachi
Declared a rogue ninja after assassinating a village elder, Sasuke gathers information on Itachi, clashes with Konoha's pursuit team, and is captured before later escaping. 501 505 510 511
Sasuke eventually fights and defeats Itachi. Rather than killing him, Sasuke asks Itachi to live peacefully, but their incompatible beliefs about Konoha and the Uchiha lead Sasuke to leave. 539 545
Rinnegan Awakening and the Madara Conflict
After awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke fuses with Hashirama Cells and quickly awakens both forms of the Rinnegan. He seals Ten-Tails chakra, blocks Madara's path, and challenges him. 545 571 580
Sasuke's subsequent impulsive challenge against Six Paths Madara ends in a one-sided defeat, revealing the gap between his raw power and his practical mastery of it. 591
Ōtsutsuki Ambitions
Sasuke aligns with Hinata's plan to revive Kaguya, oppose the Ōtsutsuki clan, and pursue power beyond the Ninja World. He views his own strength—not a large number of descendants—as the means to make the Uchiha name endure. 546 577
Trivia
- Sasuke fears that Konoha may exploit him as a “breeding machine” to restore the Uchiha bloodline after his capture. 510
- He is frequently compared with Hinata, whose rapid growth contributes to his insecurity and determination to become stronger. 252 366
- He was late for his match against Gaara, arriving with Kakashi to loud attention from spectators. 94
