Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Curse Mark manifestation	145 155	Orochimaru's mark causes extreme pain and black markings; Sasuke suppresses it through willpower rather than yielding to its power.
Chidori and Lightning-enhanced movement	244 245 246	Kakashi trains him to use Lightning Release chakra to increase his speed; Sasuke learns Chidori and pierces Gaara's sand defense.
Two-Tomoe Sharingan combat use	263 264	Uses the Sharingan to barely track half-transformed Gaara and direct kunai and shuriken with transparent wire.
Heavenly Curse Mark transformation	433 440	Survives the transformation process, described as having only a one-in-nine chance of survival, and gains access to the mark's true power.
Lightning Style: Chidori Stream	907	Releases widespread lightning through his sword to clear the Zero-Tails' tentacles.
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan	1116 1121	His Sharingan evolves amid his emotional turmoil over Itachi; he gains access to Amaterasu and increasingly powerful Susanoo forms.
Complete Susanoo	1126	His initial Susanoo develops into a larger, human-like armored form fueled by anger; its use rapidly drains his ocular power.
Third-form Susanoo	1229	Activates a higher Susanoo form against Danzō, rendering Danzō's conventional methods ineffective despite Izanagi's extra lives.

Appearance

In later appearances, Sasuke wears a white kimono with the Kusanagi Sword at his waist; he is also seen carrying a long sword across his back. His eyes change from the Sharingan's tomoe pattern to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 896 1121 1206

• Carries the Kusanagi Sword. 1206
• Uses the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, including a two-tomoe form and later the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 264 1121
• Appears emotionally detached and expressionless while acting on Orochimaru's orders. 896

Personality

Sasuke is driven foremost by vengeance. Itachi's massacre of the Uchiha clan and his brother's contempt convince Sasuke that power is the only route to justice; he repeatedly attacks Itachi despite the overwhelming difference in their strength. 29 316 318

He is proud, dismissive, and often treats others as obstacles when they interfere with his goals. He calls Kankurō a “stubborn fool,” views Naruto's plea as an impediment to obtaining power, and rejects Konoha's bonds as something a vengeful person does not deserve. 259 440

Despite this detachment, Sasuke retains concern for his former comrades. He rushes to the hospital upon hearing Kakashi is injured, quietly discourages Sakura from disrupting Naruto's training, and later recalls Naruto and Sakura with nostalgia when returning near Konoha. 309 310 1203 1206

In battle, he remains analytical under pressure. Even while terrified by Gaara's half-Tailed Beast form, he tests Gaara's remaining intelligence with a substitution and uses wire-guided weapons to create an opening. 263 264

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Mangekyō Dōjutsu

Sasuke uses the Sharingan for perception, movement prediction, copying techniques, and genjutsu resistance. His eyes ultimately evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 155 264 1121

• Tracks Gaara's high-speed movements with his two-tomoe Sharingan. 263 264
• Copies Rock Lee's movements to perform the Lion Combo. 155
• Uses Amaterasu, producing black flames that engulf Hinata. 1121
• Creates and controls Susanoo, though its complete form consumes ocular power at an unsustainable rate. 1126 1130
• Uses Three-Tomoe Sharingan perception to remain wary after apparently killing Danzō. 1224

Curse Mark

Orochimaru's Curse Mark grants Sasuke power but inflicts severe physical pain and threatens his control. 145 155

• Its activation weakens him to less than thirty percent of his normal ability during his match against Akado Tō. 155
• Enhances the Great Fireball Technique during his confrontation with Itachi. 318
• Causes him to collapse when its pain and his body's limits overwhelm him. 318 319
• Is temporarily sealed by Jiraiya using the Five Elements Seal. 320
• Its Heavenly form requires a dangerous transformation that Sasuke survives. 433 440

Lightning Release

Sasuke specializes in Lightning Release techniques that combine speed, piercing force, and sword combat. 244 246 907

• Chidori — concentrates lightning in his hand to create a high-speed piercing attack capable of breaking through Gaara's sand sphere. 245 246
• Lightning-enhanced movement — uses Lightning Release chakra to greatly increase his speed after Kakashi's training. 244
• Chidori Stream — spreads lightning through the Kusanagi Sword and across nearby enemies or obstacles. 907 1224
• Limitation: Chidori is difficult to correct once its attack path is read, allowing agile opponents such as Itachi to evade it. 317

Fire Release

Sasuke employs Uchiha fire techniques to pressure opponents and test their defenses. 245 318

• Uses a Fire Style shuriken attack and the Great Fireball Technique against Gaara's sand barrier. 245
• Launches an enhanced Great Fireball Technique while empowered by the Curse Mark. 318

Taijutsu and Tactical Combat

Sasuke combines copied taijutsu, speed training, weapon manipulation, and deception to fight stronger enemies. 155 243 264

• Lion Combo — copied from Rock Lee's movements and used to defeat Akado Tō. 155
• Thick Eyebrow Style — a taijutsu style inspired by Rock Lee that lets Sasuke overwhelm Gaara's reactions with speed and punches. 243 244
• Substitution Technique — uses a wooden substitute to assess Gaara's impaired intelligence. 264
• Wire-guided weapons — manipulates kunai and shuriken bound by transparent thread to restrain Gaara. 264
• Swordsmanship — accurately intercepts Shinnō's sudden charge with a horizontal Kusanagi strike. 897

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Kusanagi Sword — carried at his waist and used as a conductor for Chidori Stream. 907 1206
• Kunai and shuriken — used alongside transparent thread to set traps and bind opponents. 264
• Orochimaru's Curse Mark — a dangerous source of power embedded in his neck. 145 155

Relationships

• Itachi Uchiha — older brother and the focus of Sasuke's vengeance. Itachi spared Sasuke during the Uchiha clan's extermination, later defeats him decisively, and is eventually revealed to have acted to protect him. 29 316 1121
• Naruto Uzumaki — rival and former comrade. Naruto repeatedly tries to bring Sasuke back to Konoha; despite their conflict, the two later cooperate against the Zero-Tails. 440 907
• Sakura Haruno — former teammate who is deeply attached to Sasuke. She tries to stop his departure and risks herself to shield him from Gaara. 265 411
• Kakashi Hatake — mentor who trains Sasuke in Lightning Release and Chidori. Sasuke shows concern by rushing to Kakashi's hospital room after his injury. 245 309
• Orochimaru — master and manipulator who offers Sasuke power in exchange for loyalty and experimental trials. 462 896
• Hinata Hyuga — powerful opponent whose Tenseigan abilities overturn Sasuke's assumptions about the Byakugan; their clash pushes Sasuke to evolve his Susanoo. 1121 1126 1127
• Suigetsu Hōzuki, Karin, and Jūgo — Sasuke's Hawk Team companions, formed after Orochimaru's death and Itachi's defeat. 1112 1137
• Obito Uchiha — manipulates Sasuke's grief and revenge, guides him toward Danzō, and provides information on countering Izanagi. 1220 1225
• Shimura Danzō — target of Sasuke's revenge after Sasuke learns of Danzō's role in the Uchiha clan's downfall. 1220 1225
