Background / History

Sasuke entered Konoha's Ninja Academy at age six alongside Naruto and other prodigies. His early path was overshadowed by his older brother Itachi, whose Mangekyo Sharingan Sasuke witnessed shortly before the Uchiha clan's destruction. Itachi left Sasuke alive and departed for Akatsuki, leaving him with a future defined by vengeance. 225 242 264

After recovering from Orosuke Hime's Curse Mark, Sasuke trained privately with Kakashi in Chidori. He became increasingly resentful of Naruto's rapid growth, believing his own development was constrained by inferior instruction and resources. The Sound Four exploited this frustration, offering Orochimaru's power as a route to avenge the Uchiha clan; Sasuke left Konoha that night. 349 381 382

In Otogakure, Sasuke met Orosuke Hime and became entangled with Akatsuki's interest in his defection. He later confronted Naruto again, using his Sharingan to enter Naruto's mind and suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra. 392 419

Sasuke's battle with Itachi transformed his revenge. He broke Itachi's Tsukuyomi, overwhelmed him with Lightning Release: Kirin, and fought against Itachi's Susanoo. Before collapsing, Itachi sealed Tsukuyomi Amaterasu into Sasuke's eyes. Obito then fed Sasuke a manipulated account of the Uchiha clan's fall, including the claim that Mingren killed Fugaku, intensifying Sasuke's hatred of Konoha and Mingren. 458

He formed Hawk with Karin, Jūgo, and Suigetsu, then brought the group into Akatsuki to pursue the Eight-Tails. During the Five Kage Summit conflict, he attacked Mingren, awakened Kagutsuchi and Susanoo, and was rescued by Obito after being severely injured. 459 469

Sasuke killed Danzō after confirming through Sharingan interrogation that Konoha's leadership had forced Itachi to massacre the Uchiha clan. As his vision declined, he accepted an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan transplant. 473 474 476

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke fought alongside Naruto against greater threats while pursuing the truth of his family and the ninja world. He declared his own intention to become Hokage and unify the world through revolution. After Mingren revealed that Fugaku had attempted to kill him and that Konoha High Command—not Mingren—ordered the massacre, Sasuke could no longer justify revenge against Mingren. He reconciled with Naruto and agreed to compete with him for the right to become Hokage. 621 686 687

Personality

Sasuke is intensely driven, reserved, and action-oriented. His desire to avenge his clan repeatedly outweighs his safety, his village ties, and even the threat of Orochimaru taking his body. 382 419

He does not accept information uncritically. Although Obito manipulates him after Itachi's apparent death, Sasuke confronts Danzō directly before acting and later seeks Mingren for answers rather than accepting secondhand claims. 467 474

His worldview expands beyond personal revenge as he learns more about Konoha's political violence. He comes to see Itachi as someone who bore hatred in order to protect the village, leading him to envision a revolutionary form of Hokage who unifies the Ninja World. 686
