Appearance

Sasuke is a black-haired young man whose bearing becomes more refined and aloof after three years away from Konoha. 150 229

• Black hair. 150
• Eyes become scarlet when his Sharingan is active. 75
• His Mangekyō Sharingan displays six-pointed star patterns. 316
• Later possesses a Rinnegan in his left eye. 385

Personality

Sasuke is proud, cold, and intensely competitive. He refuses to concede that others can surpass him, driving his fixation on powerful rivals such as Naruto, Ueno Kei, Gaara, and Rock Lee. 67 80 90 91

The Uchiha massacre defines his decisions. His hatred of Itachi initially pushes him toward Orochimaru and defection, while learning the truth later redirects that hatred toward Konoha. 150 154 316 Even so, he has not completely severed his bonds: Naruto, Sakura, and his past with Team 7 still provoke visible emotional reactions. 150 228

Sasuke ultimately insists on finding answers according to his own judgment rather than becoming anyone's pawn, even when the wider ninja world faces catastrophe. 374

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and ocular techniques

Sasuke's Uchiha bloodline grants him the Sharingan, which steadily evolves through combat and emotional upheaval.

• Tracks fast opponents and identifies openings with the Sharingan's enhanced perception. 75 327
• Awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan after learning the truth of the Uchiha massacre. 316
• Uses Amaterasu to manifest inextinguishable black flames. 328

• Awakens a left-eye Rinnegan and uses it in an attempted genjutsu against Ueno Kei. 385 386
• Excessive Mangekyō use risks blindness; the Eternal Mangekyō requires the Mangekyō eyes of a biological brother. 316 334

Fire and Lightning Release

• Uses Fire Release—Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. 300

Five Kage Summit

Sasuke infiltrates the Five Kage Summit, cuts through the Land of Iron's samurai, and clashes with the Fourth Raikage. 327 He uses Susanoo and Amaterasu, but learns that seeing the Raikage's movements with the Mangekyō does not mean his body can keep up. 328
