Background / History

Sasuke is identified as Uchiha Itachi's younger brother and the current head of the Uchiha clan. He trains alone at the Uchiha training grounds, repeatedly practicing shurikenjutsu at a target left by Itachi. Yashui interprets this ritual as grief for the clan and hatred toward Itachi. 2 25

At the Academy, Sasuke is a leading student who plans to graduate early. He regards Sarutobi Yashui as his best friend despite their hostile sparring history, but also says their match will be their last before he begins preparing for ninja missions. 5 6

In a future timeline, Sasuke attends Naruto and Hinata's wedding but leaves without offering congratulations after Naruto confirms his love for Hinata. He subsequently seeks Orochimaru's experimental Time Machine to alter the past. 15

Appearance

Sasuke wears a blue short-sleeved shirt during his Academy years and frequently keeps his hands in his pockets, reinforcing his deliberately aloof manner. 5 30

• Blue short-sleeved clothing during his spar with Yashui 5
• Habitual hands-in-pockets stance 5 30
• In the time-travel incident, his body is younger, but his Sharingan, Rinnegan, and combat power remain intact 18

Personality

Sasuke is proud, combative, and intensely competitive. He initially underestimates Yashui, becomes frustrated when his attacks are evaded, and later challenges him to another match once Yashui becomes a genin. 5 30

His dedication to training is relentless and isolating. He spends long periods repeating shuriken drills alone and dismisses interruptions from Yashui. 25 He also displays a volatile temper, attacking Kaoru Hinoji with shuriken and Fire Release before Choza intervenes. 35

The future Sasuke is driven by possessiveness toward Naruto. Believing Hinata has taken Naruto's affection from him, he resolves to kill her; after his actions result in Naruto's death in the altered future, his confidence turns to guilt and despair. 18 21

Abilities & Skills

Fire Release

Sasuke can perform Uchiha Fire Style techniques in combat.

• Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique — launches repeated small fireballs; he conceals shuriken within the flames as a follow-up attack. 5
• Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique — used against Kaoru during their Academy confrontation. 35
• His Phoenix Sage Fire Technique is powerful and sustained, but his targeting during the spar fails to anticipate Yashui's movement. 5

Manipulated Shuriken Technique

Sasuke controls heated shuriken with steel wires, attempting to trap or strike opponents after masking the projectiles within Fire Release. 5

• Uses multiple shuriken connected by chakra-bearing steel wires. 5
• Yashui evades the technique by observing the chakra attached to the wires with the Sharingan. 5

Sharingan and Rinnegan

The time-displaced Sasuke retains both the Sharingan and Rinnegan despite occupying a younger body. 18

• Uses Sharingan genjutsu to render the Hyuga guards unconscious. 18
• His ocular powers remain active during his mission to kill Hinata. 18
• The Rinnegan is stated to remain active, though no specific Rinnegan technique is shown. 18

Lightning Release: Chidori

Sasuke uses Lightning Release: Chidori in conjunction with the Body Flicker Technique to kill Hyuga Hiashi in a single strike. 18

Transformation Technique

Sasuke transforms into Orochimaru before entering the Hyuga estate, concealing his identity while provoking fear among the guards. 18

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Shuriken — used in standard throwing drills and in combination with Fire Release. 5 25

Relationships

• Uchiha Itachi — older brother; Sasuke trains against a target left by Itachi and is implied to harbor deep resentment toward him. 2 25
• Sarutobi Yashui — recurring sparring rival whom Sasuke calls his “best friend”; Sasuke ends their regular matches while preparing to graduate, then later proposes another match. 5 6 30
• Uzumaki Naruto — Academy rival and the object of Sasuke's fixation in the future timeline; Sasuke's attempt to remove Hinata from Naruto's life ultimately contributes to Naruto's death. 15 18 21 33
• Hyuga Hinata — Sasuke views her as the person who “stole” Naruto's affection and kills her during his time-travel intervention. 18
• Orochimaru — grants Sasuke access to an unfinished Time Machine; Sasuke later impersonates him while attacking the Hyuga clan, contributing to Orochimaru's eventual sealing. 15 18 21
• Kaoru Hinoji — clashes with Sasuke in the Academy; their fight is stopped by Choza. 35
• Akimichi Choza — intervenes when Sasuke attacks Kaoru and prevents the conflict from escalating. 35

Story Role / Major Arcs

Academy Rivalry

Sasuke challenges Yashui at the school gate and brings him to the Uchiha training grounds for a spar. He uses Phoenix Sage Fire and Manipulated Shuriken techniques, but Yashui deliberately concedes after evading them. Sasuke declares that they will not spar again once he prepares for early graduation. 5 6

Graduation Period

During the graduation exam, Sasuke remains focused on Yashui and asks for another match if Yashui becomes a genin. He later attacks Kaoru with shuriken and the Great Fireball Technique, only stopping when Choza forcibly intervenes. 30 35

Time Machine Intervention

After Naruto confirms his marriage to Hinata, Sasuke uses Orochimaru's unfinished Time Machine to travel to the period surrounding the Lord Third's death. Retaining his future powers, he kills Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi while disguised as Orochimaru. 15 18

Altered Future

Sasuke returns to find Naruto dead after Akatsuki captured him without Hinata's intervention. Orochimaru has been sealed because of the consequences of Sasuke's disguise, leaving Sasuke unable to use the Time Machine again. 21
