Background

Sasuke survived the Uchiha Clan massacre after his older brother, Itachi, killed their parents and the rest of the clan while sparing him. Sasuke initially believed Itachi had acted to test his own capacity, making revenge the foundation of Sasuke's life. The later revelation that Itachi acted under Danzō's orders, with Sasuke's safety as a condition, shattered that belief. 104 222 238

During the Land of Waves mission, Sasuke trains alongside Naruto and Sakura under Kakashi. He seeks sparring matches with Hayato to measure his limits and become strong enough to kill Itachi; within a month, his Sharingan can track Hayato's threads and tenketsu strikes, though he still cannot counter them. 41 49 50

Appearance

Sasuke is recognized in combat by his scarlet Sharingan. In Curse Mark State Two, his body undergoes a severe transformation. 144 360

• Scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan in standard combat. 360
• Long gray hair and gray-black skin in State Two. 144
• Cross-shaped facial marking and two fleshy, wing-like appendages on his back in State Two. 144
• A purple, upper-bodied Susanoo manifests around him after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. 361

Personality

Sasuke is driven by pride, intense self-discipline, and a need to avenge the Uchiha Clan. He initially judges strength through the narrow lens of killing Itachi, even considering Orochimaru's power worth the risk of surrendering his own body. 49 104 213

He is also highly analytical in battle, favoring precision, deception, and exploitation of small openings. His fighting style mirrors Itachi's focus on reading weaknesses and laying calculated traps. 50 360 475

Despite his hostility toward Konoha and obsession with revenge, Sasuke retains attachments he tries to deny. He refuses to kill Naruto at the Valley of the End, protects Taka with Susanoo, and orders Suigetsu and Jugo to retreat rather than abandon them for a direct fight with Danzō. 145 361 467

After learning Itachi's true motives, Sasuke becomes less willing to follow the path designed for him. He seeks to understand Itachi without approving of his actions and chooses to pursue his own course. 236 378
