Background / History

Sasuke survives the Uchiha clan massacre as a young child. Lin Qing finds him amid the aftermath, gives him hope, and protects him while confronting Itachi and Obito. The experience leaves Sasuke with profound hatred for Itachi. 1 3

After Root detains him, Lin Qing rescues Sasuke and escapes Konoha with him. Sasuke quickly comes to trust Lin Qing, addresses him as “Brother Qing,” and listens as Lin Qing explains the political calculations surrounding the massacre and their escape. 4 6

Orochimaru later brands Sasuke with the Heaven Cursed Seal, leaving him critically ill. Jiraiya sustains him with a Purified Water sphere until Lin Qing returns, removes the seal, and discovers Sasuke's Ninjutsu Nullification. 45 46 57

Sasuke gradually redirects his desire for vengeance. He still wishes to personally demand justice from Danzo and Itachi for the Uchiha dead, but he also resolves to gain power so ordinary people will not be killed, enslaved, or abandoned. 38 58

Appearance

By age eleven, Sasuke has grown beyond 1.7 meters tall through Ripple training and a rich diet. During the Land of Snow campaign, he wears heavy pitch-black Extermination Army armor that conceals his youthful face behind a helmet with crimson eye-lights. 218

• Carries a long sword, often using Ripple to form an edge along its otherwise bladeless blade. 101 218
• Has black eyes before his ocular powers activate; later manifests the Rinnegan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 247 334
• Uses specialized armguards powered by replaceable Hidan flesh cartridges while serving with the Extermination Army. 218

Personality

Sasuke is initially traumatized, angry, and intensely focused on avenging the Uchiha clan. He insists that Danzo and Itachi should answer personally for the massacre rather than letting Lin Qing take that vengeance for him. 3 58

His travels with Lin Qing broaden his priorities. He recognizes that hatred alone is insufficient and chooses to pursue strength to protect vulnerable people. Even so, he is wary of sacrificing his conscience for power; Lin Qing reassures him that he does not need to make desperate choices while support remains available. 38

He is observant and thoughtful with others' ambitions. Rather than mocking Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage, Sasuke treats it seriously and argues that people must act on their aspirations rather than wait for perfect preparation. 98

In battle, Sasuke is decisive, resourceful, and willing to shoulder responsibility. When Lin Qing falls in the conflict with Dio, Sasuke recognizes that he must become the one who “holds up the sky” and attacks despite overwhelming danger. 460
