Background / History
As a child, Sasuke trained obsessively to close the gap between himself and his celebrated brother Itachi. Jin's teasing and superior skill intensified his pride and competitive nature; after Jin pinned him with shuriken without injuring him, Sasuke was left shocked but more determined to improve 9.
He became interested in Jin's strength and agreed to train with him. Sasuke also declared his ambition to become Hokage, though Fugaku disapproved of both that goal and Sasuke's unusual attempts to become stronger, including sunbathing and chasing dogs 17 18. Fugaku later began teaching him chakra refinement, while Sasuke struggled with the Great Fireball Technique under the pressure of Itachi's and Jin's extraordinary talent 20 21.
Sasuke entered the Ninja Academy alongside Naruto. Naruto's eagerness to hold his hand and follow him embarrassed and annoyed Sasuke, establishing an early friction between the two 25.
During the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Itachi used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke and dismissed him as too weak. Sasuke's grief and rage drove him to leave Konoha in pursuit of revenge, rejecting Naruto's efforts to stop him 800 801. He trained under Orochimaru for three years, then killed him once he no longer needed his power 802.
After Itachi revealed the truth behind the massacre, Sasuke's vengeance shifted from Itachi to Konoha. He formed Team Taka with Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo, captured Killer B, and attacked the Five Kage Summit 803. His later reunion with Itachi, awakening of the Rinnegan, and battle beside Naruto against Kaguya redirected him toward protecting the ninja world 804.
Appearance
Sasuke is depicted as a black-haired Uchiha whose appearance changes sharply with his circumstances. In childhood, he wears blue clothing and projects a cool, aloof image; after leaving Konoha, he becomes taller, colder, and more visibly battle-hardened 26 802.
- Black hair and dark, stern features 802
- Sharingan in his left eye during his avenger period 802
- Curse Mark patterns that can appear or disappear under his control 802
- Later fights with only his remaining right arm and a lightning prosthetic 533
- Commonly carries the Kusanagi Sword 300 533
Personality
Sasuke is proud, stubborn, and intensely competitive. As a child, he measures himself against Itachi and Jin, resenting the feeling of inferiority while refusing to abandon his training 9 21. He is also arrogant in battle, as shown when he declares himself the “Second Pillar” while confronting Gaara and later underestimates Temari 154 155.
His need to never feel powerless again drives him toward revenge and Orochimaru's dangerous training. After the massacre, he becomes cold, ruthless, and willing to sacrifice relationships for power 801 802. He eventually confronts the damage caused by this fixation, accepts Itachi's imperfections, and comes to understand the value of love, bonds, and cooperation 319 325 328.
In later conflicts, Sasuke is a composed strategist and dependable protector. He undertakes dangerous reconnaissance missions, coordinates precisely with allies, trains younger shinobi, and leaves Konoha to investigate the Ōtsutsuki threat 358 363 552 633.
