Background / History
Sasuke begins as a member of Team 7 alongside Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno. He initially treats Naruto with open disdain, but the team's first major mission forces him to confront opponents far beyond genin level. Zabuza Momochi's killing intent leaves him trembling despite his Sharingan, exposing both his inexperience and fear of death. 4 8
On the Land of Waves bridge, Sasuke protects Tazuna and Sakura, then evolves his Sharingan to two tomoe while fighting Haku. His new perception lets him briefly pressure Haku, but Zabuza's killing intent immobilizes him immediately afterward. Ling Yue takes Zabuza's blade to save him; Sasuke responds with furious resolve and later thanks her for protecting him. 15 16 19
During the Chūnin Exams, Orochimaru identifies Sasuke's Sharingan and bloodline as ideal for a vessel, then plants the Cursed Seal of Heaven on him. The seal repeatedly erodes Sasuke's judgment and drives him toward violent power. He activates its first state against Orochimaru's snake swarm, after which Kakashi temporarily suppresses it with the Evil-Sealing Method and begins training him in Chidori. 25 28 30
Itachi Uchiha's return to the Hidden Leaf becomes the decisive blow to Sasuke's loyalty. Itachi effortlessly defeats him, subjects him to Tsukuyomi, and dismisses all of Sasuke's efforts as weakness. Unable to accept the power gap, Sasuke rejects Ling Yue's warning that strength has paths other than self-destruction, injures Naruto and Sakura, and defects to seek Orochimaru's power. 40
Years later, Sasuke appears at Tenchi Bridge as Orochimaru's ally and attempts to kill Naruto with Chidori. He openly states that he is willing to pay any price for power to kill Itachi, then escapes after Suigetsu, Karin, Jugo, and Tenbin arrive to support him. 67 68 69
His later actions become less straightforward. During the Sand Village crisis, he fights Akatsuki while searching for Itachi, protects Pikachu from Obito's Kamui with Amaterasu and Susanoo, and eventually cooperates with the Allied Shinobi Forces against Pain, Orochimaru, Obito, and Madara. 108 111 113 123
Appearance
Sasuke's most distinctive physical changes appear when he activates his dōjutsu or curse mark.
- His Sharingan is scarlet; it evolves from two tomoe to three tomoe, then into Mangekyō and Eternal Mangekyō forms. 15 68 123
- Curse Mark State One spreads black patterns from his neck across half his face, turns his pupils vertical, sharpens his nails, and surrounds him with frigid black chakra. 28
- After emerging from the Sound Four's coffin, his body is covered in pitch-black curse-mark patterns and his eyes are described as empty darkness. 41
- He carries the Kusanagi Sword during his later appearances and channels lightning through its blade. 108 110
Personality
Sasuke is proud, competitive, and intensely unwilling to be surpassed. His early hostility toward Naruto reflects that pride, while his reaction to Naruto's Nine-Tails power reveals a deeper fear of falling behind and being unable to avenge those he lost. 4 15
He is capable of protecting others even before he fully acknowledges those bonds. He shields Tazuna and Sakura from Haku, carries Sakura while escaping the Forest of Death, and responds with genuine anger when Ling Yue is wounded saving him. He also shows awkward gratitude, bringing Ling Yue food while pretending it is merely leftover. 15 16 21 27
After Itachi's return, Sasuke becomes increasingly isolated and ruthless. He views companionship as an obstacle to revenge, accepts Orochimaru's power despite knowing its price, and refers to his own new allies as “useful tools.” 40 68 69
Despite this descent, he later shows concern for Ling Yue and Pikachu. He protects Pikachu during its evolution, lets it heal his wound, acknowledges his debt to Ling Yue, and repeatedly fights beside the Allied Forces when greater threats emerge. 108 111 116
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan
Sasuke's Sharingan grants him high-level visual perception, allowing him to read movements, chakra flow, and attacks before they fully develop.
- His two-tomoe Sharingan lets him predict Haku's attacks and evade senbon with minimal movement. 15
- His three-tomoe Sharingan helps him navigate Ling Yue's Senbonzakura petals and track multiple opponents in close combat. 68
- His Mangekyō Sharingan grants access to Amaterasu and Susanoo. 108
- His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened during the final war against Madara. 123
- Extensive Susanoo use places heavy strain on his ocular power. 113
Susanoo
Sasuke manifests a purple Susanoo that develops from a skeletal frame into a complete armored form.
- The initial skeletal Susanoo blocks Obito's attempt to capture Pikachu. 108
- Its arrows are used against the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Madara. 118 122
- He uses Complete Body Susanoo to protect allies and stall attacks from the Ten-Tails' forces. 118 120
Cursed Seal of Heaven
Orochimaru's forbidden seal forcibly draws out Sasuke's potential at the cost of his physical and mental stability.
- It enhances his speed, strength, chakra, and killing instinct. 28
- Its influence makes him volatile, aggressive, and prone to lashing out at teammates. 27
- Kakashi's Evil-Sealing Method suppresses the seal, but emotional instability can weaken the seal's restraint. 30
Lightning Release and Chidori
Kakashi trains Sasuke to combine Lightning-nature chakra with Sharingan perception.
- Chidori — A high-speed thrust used against Gaara, Naruto, and Ling Yue. 34 68
- Chidori Sharp Spear — A ranged lightning extension used to repel Deidara and attack Pain's paths. 108 113
- Chidori's speed and lethality are high, but repeated use can rapidly exhaust Sasuke's chakra. 34
Fire Release
Sasuke employs several Fire Style techniques in conjunction with his Sharingan.
- Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu — Combined with Lion Combo to defeat Akadō Yoroi. 31
- Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu — Used against Itachi, though Itachi reverses it with Mirror Heaven and Earth Change. 40
- Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu — Used against Naruto at Tenchi Bridge. 68
Taijutsu and Ninja Tools
Sasuke is a highly skilled close-quarters fighter with precise timing and strong weapon proficiency.
- Uses Uchiha-style taijutsu, combining fists, kicks, elbows, knees, and kunai into rapid offensive chains. 33
- Throws large volleys of shuriken to restrict enemy escape routes and create openings for Naruto. 10
- Uses a precise Lion Combo and Fire Style combination to defeat Akadō Yoroi without relying on the curse mark. 31

- Shuriken — Used for pursuit denial, feints, and ranged pressure. 10 15
