Background / History

Sasuke initially pursues strength to kill Uchiha Itachi, while setting catching up to Lin Ke as his immediate goal. Lin Ke's training and the Mystical Palm Technique accelerate Sasuke's physical development, but Sasuke remains intensely independent, refusing help even after collapsing from overtraining. 91 98 118

Lin Ke tells Sasuke the circumstances behind the Uchiha clan's extermination, including Fugaku's planned coup, Shisui and Itachi's actions, and Danzo's involvement. Lin Ke later summons Fugaku, allowing Sasuke to speak with his father and begin moving beyond a hatred-driven purpose. 99 100

Although Orochimaru's side attempts to recruit him, Sasuke rejects its offer of revenge-fueled power. He instead continues training under Lin Ke and resolves to personally kill both Itachi and Danzo. 104 107

Sasuke kills Itachi during their confrontation, awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. The incident leaves him with conflicting grief, relief, and anger, especially after learning that both Itachi and Lin Ke had anticipated and facilitated the circumstances of his awakening. 216 217

After learning Lin Ke's goal of ending the ninja profession and remaking the world, Sasuke chooses to support him. He later infiltrates the Shimura clan base and kills Danzo, ending the revenge he considers necessary for the Uchiha clan. 217 228

Sasuke eventually returns alongside reincarnated Uchiha clan members and becomes involved in their reconstruction. He opens the dessert shop Friend's House, guides new arrivals at Lin Ke's base, and leads a Uchiha faction within the Ninja Alliance without using his relationship with Lin Ke to advance clan interests. 268 296 326 388

Personality

Sasuke is quiet, self-reliant, and initially defined by a desire for revenge. Even while injured or exhausted, he prefers to handle his problems alone rather than depend on teammates or instructors. 91 107

Learning the truth of the massacre weakens the pure hatred that had driven him, forcing him to consider what he wants beyond vengeance. His reunions with his parents and clan gradually restore a more high-spirited side of him, though he continues to value strength as essential to protecting the future he wants. 118 224 242

He is fiercely loyal to Lin Ke and treats threats near him seriously. At the same time, his later conduct shows greater patience and empathy: he helps guide Nagato, extends understanding to his counterpart from World Number Four, and becomes more open with his former Team 7 companions. 268 348 364

Sasuke has black hair and dark eyes that manifest as Sharingan when using his dōjutsu. He is often depicted in white casual clothing, including a white kimono or loose white yukata. 99 236 341 390

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

• Instantly blinds Danzo and disables both Danzo's own eye and the Sharingan implanted in his arm. 228
• Prevents Danzo from completing Izanagi by depriving him of the Sharingan needed to sustain it. 228
• Is particularly dangerous against dōjutsu users and targets reliant on visual techniques. 228

• Uses Susanoo as a massive battlefield weapon against groups of enemies. 362

• Uses Susanoo's raw force to crush White Zetsu formations and devastate the battlefield. 362

Second Mangekyō Ability

Sasuke later awakens a second Mangekyō ability, which he initially conceals from Lin Ke. Its exact effect is not disclosed, but it is described as powerful enough to play an absolute role against an Ōtsutsuki. 350 366

Lightning Release

Sasuke is a skilled Lightning Release user whose Chidori remains one of his primary offensive techniques.

• Uses Chidori to attack Itachi during their final battle. 215
• Uses Chidori to pierce Danzo after stripping away his vision and Dōjutsu. 228
• Employs Chidori Stream to cover his body in lightning when fighting Obito. 244

Story Role / Major Arcs

Training Under Lin Ke

Sasuke challenges Lin Ke, trains to surpass him, and quickly outgrows ordinary opponents. His early development is complicated by the loss of the hatred that once gave his Sharingan growth a clear direction. 89 101 118

Truth of the Uchiha Massacre

Lin Ke reveals the history behind the Uchiha clan's destruction and summons Fugaku for Sasuke. This replaces Sasuke's simple desire for destruction with a more conflicted pursuit of responsibility, family, and justice. 100 118

Revenge Against Itachi and Danzo

Sasuke kills Itachi, awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan, then kills Danzo using Cave of Heaven Rock and Chidori. With Danzo dead, he decides to let the cycle of hatred end rather than pursue every possible participant in the massacre. 216 228

Uchiha Reconstruction and the Ninja Alliance

Sasuke returns with the reincarnated Uchiha clan, helps establish their place in the evolving Ninja Alliance, and runs Friend's House. He later avoids leveraging Lin Ke's influence for clan politics, even as the Uchiha divide into separate factions. 236 296 388

Other Worlds

Sasuke travels through other worlds, confronts alternate versions of himself, and helps World Number Four Sasuke confront the truth of his past. His own experiences lead him toward a more balanced view of bonds: he values them, but refuses to let them replace his pursuit of strength and peace. 314 348 364

Notable Quotes

“Whether it's him or Itachi, I will kill them with my own hands.” 107

“I'm not the same as him. Leave the opponent here to me with peace of mind.” 244

“You should be like a rat, an insect, secretly lurking in the shadows of a stinking ditch. Instead of standing before the Uchiha Clan.” 228

Trivia

• Sasuke's Mangekyō ability, Cave of Heaven Rock, is thematically associated with darkness and the loss of light. 217
• His altered path differs sharply from his original counterpart's: receiving the truth, his parents, and Lin Ke's support prevents him from turning toward Konoha's destruction. 221 348
• He is uncomfortable with discussions of romance, marriage, and children despite recognizing that rebuilding the Uchiha clan cannot be done alone. 221 388
