History
Before entering the Ninja Academy, Sasuke sought recognition from Fugaku while feeling overshadowed by Itachi’s achievements. Fugaku’s decision to accompany Itachi on a mission on the eve of Sasuke’s enrollment left Sasuke disappointed and determined to distinguish himself. 135
At the Academy, Hua Yue praised Sasuke’s potential as possibly exceeding Itachi’s. Sasuke was immediately drawn to Hua Yue’s presence and Sharingan, while Fugaku encouraged him to regard Hua Yue as a model. 136
Itachi’s massacre of the Uchiha clan left Sasuke as its apparent sole survivor and sent him to Konoha Hospital. His grief and rage triggered his One-Tomoe Sharingan, after which Naruto confronted him and offered friendship rather than pity. 154 156 157
Naruto brought Sasuke to Hua Yue’s estate, where Hua Yue offered to train him in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and forbidden techniques. Sasuke accepted, driven by the belief that only greater power could let him defeat Itachi. 158 159
After graduating, Sasuke was assigned to Team 7 with Naruto and Sakura under Kakashi. His rivalry with Naruto intensified as Naruto’s aptitude for Sage Mode and exceptional stamina made Sasuke fear being left behind. 168 180
During the Chūnin Exams, Sasuke rejected Orochimaru’s offer of power and instead worked with Naruto to launch Kirin. Orochimaru’s mention of Itachi further sharpened Sasuke’s determination to confront his brother. 185 186
Sasuke’s first direct clash with Itachi ended with Itachi using Tsukuyomi against him. Afterward, Sasuke fought Kakashi rather than abandon his revenge, then sought Hua Yue’s help to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan without killing Naruto. 193 195 203 204
He left Konoha to pursue Itachi, incapacitating Sakura and the gate guards but accepting Naruto’s covert help, food, and concern before departing. 206
Sasuke later fought Itachi with his Mangekyō Sharingan, Susanoo, Blaze Release, and Kirin. When Itachi collapsed, Sasuke learned that his brother’s actions had been tied to Konoha and the Uchiha clan’s political conflict, forcing him to question the purpose of his vengeance. 209 211 212
During the war against Madara, Sasuke fought beside Naruto, accepted the Sage of Six Paths’ power, and declared his intention to bring about a “revolution.” 229 235 237
Appearance
Sasuke’s appearance changes with his growing power, most visibly through his evolving crimson Sharingan and later Mangekyō Sharingan. When leaving Konoha, he wore white robes and carried the Kusanagi Sword. 157 206
- Black eyes that turn crimson when his Sharingan is active. 157
- Deep-purple Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo chakra manifestation. 209
- White robes and a Kusanagi Sword at his waist during his departure from Konoha. 206
- Azure markings across his body when using Blut Vene and related enhancements. 208
Personality
Sasuke is intensely competitive and measures himself against those he admires or envies, particularly Itachi and Naruto. He refuses to accept being left behind, repeatedly seeking new methods to improve his Sharingan, Chidori, and stamina. 149 180
His defining motivation is vengeance for the Uchiha massacre. Sasuke sees revenge against Itachi as the only thing left to him, and he is prepared to reject Konoha, fight Kakashi, and endure dangerous procedures to gain the strength he believes he needs. 203 204 206
Despite his coldness, Sasuke is not wholly detached from others. He trusts Naruto’s judgment in battle, accepts Naruto’s assistance when leaving the village, and thanks him for it. 184 206
