Background / History

Sasuke is the sole living survivor of the Uchiha clan massacre, in which Itachi kills Fugaku, Mikoto, and the rest of the clan. Before dying, Fugaku entrusts Sasuke to Itachi's care. 1

After killing Itachi, Sasuke learns of Konoha's involvement in the Uchiha clan's downfall and turns his vengeance toward the village. Itachi's death triggers Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan awakening. 179 181

During his pursuit of Danzō, Sasuke is covertly rescued from the Masked Man by Fugaku, who initially presents himself as a masked “ghost of the Uchiha Clan.” Fugaku offers Itachi's eyes in exchange for Sasuke's help resurrecting Orochimaru. 185 Karin successfully performs the transplant, allowing Sasuke to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 186 187

Sasuke gradually realizes that Fugaku's concern for him is genuine and begins investigating his identity. He ultimately learns that Fugaku and the other Uchiha are Lost Souls serving the Shinigami Kenma, a revelation that deeply unsettles him. 190 191 192

Kenma kills Sasuke alongside Naruto to force Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to reveal himself. Sasuke meets Hagoromo in his spiritual world and returns to life with a six-tomoe Rinnegan in his left eye. 198 199

During the subsequent war, Sasuke fights Fugaku despite being reluctant to kill his father. After defeating Fugaku's Susanoo, Sasuke attempts to confront Kenma directly, but Kenma overwhelms and captures him. 203 207 208

Following Kenma's defeat of Obito and the collapse of the Ninja World's resistance, Fugaku brings Sasuke and the severely injured Naruto to the Five Kage. Sasuke states that Kenma seeks only the Pure Land, then remains contemptuous of the Kage and their inability to affect the conflict. 209 210

Appearance

Sasuke is a handsome teenage Uchiha whose features are recognized as resembling both Fugaku and Mikoto. He is described as being approximately fifteen or sixteen years old. 192 208

• Scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan with a straight tomoe pattern. 202
• Gains the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan after receiving Itachi's eyes. 187
• His left eye later becomes a six-tomoe Rinnegan. 199
• Uses bandages over his eyes while recovering from the transplant. 187
• Appears physically uninjured but deathly pale and exhausted after Kenma's defeat, with his limbs hanging weakly at his sides. 210

Personality

Sasuke is cold, guarded, and intensely driven by revenge. He remains focused on his own goals even when Suigetsu warns him that resurrecting Orochimaru is dangerous. 188 His pride as an Uchiha also makes him reject Fugaku's reverence for Kenma and dismiss the idea of gods as merely powerful individuals. 191

Despite his harshness, Sasuke shows concern for those close to him. He worries about Karin after being rescued, tends to Naruto after their defeat, and repeatedly hesitates to seriously harm Fugaku despite opposing him. 185 203 208

He is also observant and calculating. From his first encounter with the masked Fugaku, Sasuke suspects that the stranger is someone familiar and secretly works with Orochimaru to expose his identity. 186 190

After the Shinigami War, Sasuke displays open contempt toward the Five Kage, considering them powerless and useless in the conflict. He is similarly dismissive of Sakura's feelings and competence, though he allows her and the medical team to treat Naruto. 210
