Background
Sasuke is a student of the Konoha Ninja Academy and the lone Uchiha survivor. He considers the Uchiha name synonymous with strength and initially dismisses Sen as a chakra-control failure after watching Sen deliberately botch shuriken practice. Sen's overwhelming chakra display, however, already makes Sasuke feel challenged. 4 5
His stated purpose is to restore the Uchiha Clan and kill Itachi, his older brother. This revenge-driven ambition shapes his cold demeanor and refusal to form ordinary attachments. 24 39
His pursuit of power eventually leads him to reject Konoha and seek Orochimaru. Although Sen initially retrieves him and Tsunade imprisons him for desertion, a later Root report states that he has fled to Orochimaru's base. 169 177 181
After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke proposes a violent revolution in which he would kill the Five Kage, control the Tailed Beasts, and become the world's common enemy. His subsequent conflict with Naruto ends in severe injuries and punishment by Sen. Later, he travels to atone and investigates ancient Ōtsutsuki ruins, becoming an important source of intelligence about threats to Konoha. 351 355 360 381 392
Appearance
Sasuke is a black-haired boy whose usual expression is cold and aloof. During his Academy years, he wears a dark-blue, short-sleeved high-collared shirt and commonly keeps his hands in his pockets. 22 23
- Black hair and dark eyes. 23
- One-tomoe Sharingan manifests in his eyes. 37
- Carries a short blade when Team Seven departs for the Land of Waves. 50
- Uses a wheelchair while recovering from his injuries in the Land of Waves. 74 75
- His Cursed Seal transformation gives him gray or gray-black skin, spreading black markings, and two fleshy, membranous wings. 174 175 176
- Later displays a purple Rinnegan. 351 355
- Wears a long blue robe during the final wartime events, though it becomes badly torn. 349
- Loses his left arm in the final clash with Naruto; Sen subsequently restores it with a Wood Release Fruit. 355 357
- During his later dimensional travels, wears a black cloak. He returns to Sen's courtyard with the cloak shredded, his hair disheveled, and his face marked by soot and blood. 390
- In the later Ōtsutsuki confrontation, forms hand seals one-handed. The available account does not explain the change from his earlier restored condition. 391
Personality
Sasuke is proud, competitive, and intensely protective of Uchiha prestige. He reacts especially badly to being ignored or treated as inferior, as shown when Sen refuses his challenge and Sasuke retaliates with a Great Fireball attack. 23
His defeat by Sen transforms his contempt into fixation. Rather than accepting that Sen is stronger, Sasuke isolates himself for a day and night to search for a countermeasure, then resolves to make Sen a lifelong rival alongside Itachi. 24
Despite his arrogance, Sasuke is determined in battle and willing to act when his teammates are threatened or when he believes he must prove himself. He clashes openly with Naruto but later relies on Sen when Kakashi overwhelms Team Seven. 37 41 42
His instinctive protection of Naruto against Haku reveals concern beneath his habitual hostility. He shields Naruto from a barrage of senbon without understanding why his body moved, accepting injuries that leave him unconscious. 67
Repeated demonstrations of Sen's superiority intensify Sasuke's insecurity rather than consistently humbling him. After watching Sen imitate a technique with Wood Release, he resolves to discover the secret of Sen's strength at any cost. On the return from the Land of Waves, he silently renews his determination to surpass both Sen and Itachi. 62 74 75
Sasuke is vulnerable to overwhelming killing intent. Both Zabuza and Orochimaru leave him frightened or immobilized, exposing the limits of his composure despite his pride. Nevertheless, he can recognize a stronger ally's capabilities: when Sen confronts Orochimaru, Sasuke stops Naruto from interfering. 54 90 93 94
His hatred and fear of remaining weak eventually outweigh his attachment to Konoha. Itachi's Tsukuyomi, Naruto's growth, and Sen's overwhelming power drive him toward despair and make the Sound Four's promises attractive. Once empowered by the Cursed Seal, he becomes sufficiently confident to claim that neither Naruto nor Sen can defeat him. 169 174 175
His postwar revolutionary ambitions combine self-imposed isolation with authoritarian conviction. He claims that bearing the world's hatred alone would create unity, but insists on killing the Five Kage and Naruto to establish that order. Even after Sen saves and heals him, Sasuke initially refuses gratitude or repayment and resumes his threats. 351 353 357
Later accounts show him traveling to atone and taking the danger posed by the Ōtsutsuki seriously. His urgency in warning Sen and his willingness to risk his remaining eye's sight to help defend Konoha contrast with his earlier willingness to destroy the village's bonds for personal power. 381 390 391
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan
Sasuke initially possesses a one-tomoe Sharingan, which he activates when Team Seven is announced. 37
- Watches Sen with the Sharingan as part of his resolve to surpass him. 37
- Uses it while reacting to Sen's Wood Clone demonstration, though Sen's abilities leave him jealous and unable to respond. 32
- Tracks the trajectories of Haku's senbon inside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals. His perception exceeds his body's ability to respond, however, and he cannot avoid every attack. 66
- Displays the two-tomoe form under Orochimaru's pressure; it remains insufficient to free him from the Sannin's killing intent. 93 96
- Activates the two-tomoe Sharingan again when he overhears news of Itachi's return at the hospital. 168
Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu
Sasuke can perform the C-rank Great Fireball Jutsu, a technique taught to him by Itachi. 23 24
- Forms hand seals rapidly before unleashing a fireball more than two meters wide. 23
- Uses the technique against both Sen and Kakashi. 23 41
- Sen splits Sasuke's Great Fireball with a chakra-infused dead branch, demonstrating the vast gap between them. 23
- During his later outburst over seeking greater power, Naruto reports that Sasuke has burned his room's door with Fire Release. 160
Shuriken Technique
Sasuke demonstrates precise shuriken throwing during Academy training. 5
- Throws four shuriken in rapid succession, all striking the bullseye. 5
Combat Ability
Sasuke is willing to confront stronger opponents and acts quickly under pressure, but he is decisively outmatched by jonin-level opponents and Sen's Wood Release during his early development. 23 41 44
- Attempts to attack Kakashi during the bell test with Great Fireball Jutsu. 41
- Is captured by Kakashi's Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu, leaving only his head aboveground. 41
- Witnesses Sen neutralize Kakashi's Lightning Cutter and is left shaken by the technique's chakra-draining effect. 44
- Uses a kunai to block Haku's senbon, but rapidly loses stamina while attempting to keep pace with attacks from the ice mirrors. 66
- After a month of training under Kakashi, initially overwhelms Gaara with speed and taijutsu. 109 118
- Fights Naruto through hand-to-hand exchanges, weapons, and competing Chidori and Rasengan attacks at the Valley of the End. 174 175
- Later engages Naruto in a much larger battle using Susanoo and Tailed Beast chakra, demonstrating enormous offensive power but suffering from the strain of controlling it. 353 355
Clone Technique
Sasuke shows rapid aptitude for the Academy's basic Clone Technique. After Iruka's demonstration, he produces a perfect insubstantial clone on only his second attempt. 6
Lightning Release: Chidori
Sasuke learns Chidori during his intensive training with Kakashi before the Chūnin Exam finals. He gathers a concentrated mass of blue Lightning Release chakra in his hand and combines it with a high-speed charge for exceptional piercing force. 109 118
- Penetrates Gaara's spiked sand sphere and wounds him, drawing blood through his “absolute defense.” 118
- Uses Chidori against Naruto's Rasengan at the Valley of the End. His Cursed Seal second-stage version is purplish-black. 174 175
- Clashes with Naruto's Rasengan again after their postwar battle, resulting in both fighters losing an arm. 355
- Channels Chidori through the broken end of his Kusanagi Sword when attacking Sen after being healed. Sen catches the attack with Sage-enhanced wooden armor. 358
Cursed Seal of Heaven
Sasuke bears Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven by the time the Sound Four recruit him. The mark responds to their offer of power, reinforcing his willingness to leave Konoha. 169
- Releases purplish-black chakra and spreading black markings after Sasuke emerges from a recovery barrel during the pursuit mission. 174
- Its second stage produces a gray-skinned form with fleshy wings and strengthens his Chidori. 174 175
- Encourages his belief that he has become invincible, but offers no effective answer to Sen, who defeats and retrieves him. 175 176 177
Rinnegan
Sasuke later possesses a purple Rinnegan, explicitly visible during his postwar revolutionary confrontation. The supplied account does not establish when or how he awakens it. 351 355
- Retains an active Rinnegan when returning through a spatial portal after his later dimensional investigation. 390
- Its rings rotate as he attempts to raise Susanoo during the Ōtsutsuki attack, despite severe injuries and depleted chakra. 391
Susanoo and Tailed Beast Chakra
Sasuke manifests a large purple-black Susanoo during his postwar battle with Naruto. He uses it against Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra form, and their exchanges devastate the Valley of the End. 352 353
- Holds the nine Tailed Beasts in stone spheres and draws their differently colored chakra into Susanoo. 351 352 355
- The absorbed chakra enlarges Susanoo's musculature and armor, with powerful lightning crackling between its plates. 352
- Prepares a devastating lightning attack while visibly suffering from the strain of controlling the Beasts' chakra. 353
- Sen strikes Susanoo's weak left knee with a chakra-coated pebble, disrupting its attack and allowing Naruto to smash through the armor. Its collapse severs Sasuke's connection to the Beasts. 355
- Later raises skeletal Susanoo ribs around himself and Naruto, but his depleted chakra leaves the partial manifestation unstable. He asks Naruto for Nine-Tails chakra to activate Majestic Attire: Susanoo; successful activation is not established in the passage. 391
Swordsmanship
Sasuke later uses a sword alongside his Lightning Release. During the final wartime events, he draws his blade with electricity dancing over it. He subsequently attacks Sen with a Chidori-coated broken Kusanagi Sword. 346 358
Space-Time Travel and Investigation
Sasuke travels beyond ordinary village missions to investigate ancient Ōtsutsuki sites and alternate dimensions. He sends intelligence about Divine Tree murals, additional Ōtsutsuki figures, and a coordinate mark that may identify targets possessing highly concentrated Divine Tree chakra. 381
- Appears through a spatial portal in Sen's courtyard after being injured in an alternate dimension. 390 391
- Identifies Momoshiki and Kinshiki as members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family and warns that they have targeted Konoha. 390 391
- Discovers Kara's true stronghold in ruins in the Far North and identifies Jigen as the human host of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. 392
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Short blade — carried for Team Seven's Land of Waves escort mission. 50
- Kunai — used to block senbon inside Haku's ice mirrors and during his confrontation with Naruto. 66 174
- Wheelchair — used during his recovery and the journey home from the Land of Waves. 74 75
- Travel bag — carries a few changes of clothes when he first deserts Konoha. 169
- Kusanagi Sword — later weapon capable of carrying his Chidori; its broken end is used against Sen. He still carries a Kusanagi Sword during the Kara investigation. 358 393
- Wood Release Fruit — supplied by Sen in exchange for Sasuke agreeing to humiliating ramen-shop service; regenerates his severed left arm when consumed. 357
- Black cloak — worn during his later travels, badly damaged when he returns from an alternate dimension. 390
- Damaged intelligence scroll — bears an upside-down funnel symbol drawn in blood and accompanies his report about Kara and Isshiki. 392
Relationships
- Sen Senju — Rival and self-declared lifelong enemy. Sasuke initially regards Sen with contempt, but Sen's effortless counter to his Great Fireball leaves him fearful, obsessed, and determined to defeat him. They later become Team Seven teammates. 23 24 37 Sen repeatedly protects him from stronger enemies, but these rescues deepen Sasuke's resentment of their power gap. Sen retrieves him after his first desertion, later disrupts his Tailed Beast–empowered Susanoo, saves him from fatal blood loss, and regenerates his arm. Sasuke immediately breaks his repayment agreement and attacks Sen, leading to further punishment. In later years, he sends Sen information from his travels and urgently warns him about the Ōtsutsuki. 90 94 176 177 355 357 358 360 381 390
- Naruto Uzumaki — Team Seven teammate and frequent verbal opponent. Naruto openly mocks Sasuke after Sen defeats him, while Sasuke dismisses Naruto as the “dead last.” 24 37 Sasuke nevertheless instinctively shields Naruto from Haku's senbon. Naruto remains determined to retrieve him after his desertion and later opposes his revolution, leading to two major Valley of the End confrontations. Their postwar clash costs each an arm, but Naruto continues to care for Sasuke and helps him toward the hospital after their punishment. They later attempt to coordinate a defense against Momoshiki and Kinshiki. 67 169 174 351 355 360 391
- Sakura Haruno — Team Seven teammate. Sakura is infatuated with Sasuke, but he remains indifferent to her feelings. 37 39 She assists him during his recovery from the Land of Waves injuries and tries to stop his desertion. Sasuke thanks her before knocking her unconscious and leaving. She later begs him to accept Sen's healing and return safely, but he rejects her plea when resuming his revolutionary plans. 75 169 357
- Kakashi Hatake — Team Seven's jonin instructor. Kakashi easily defeats Sasuke during the bell test, after which Sasuke sees Sen take over the fight. 39 41 44 Kakashi later devotes a month to Sasuke's training, helping him develop the speed and Chidori used against Gaara. He remains concerned about the psychological consequences of Sen's treatment of Sasuke and urges Sasuke to set aside pride when offered healing. 109 118 177 357
- Itachi Uchiha — Sasuke's older brother. Sasuke learned the Great Fireball Jutsu from him and has sworn to kill him. 23 24 39 News of Itachi's return reignites his hatred, and Sasuke rushes to confront him. Itachi defeats him and subjects him to Tsukuyomi, intensifying the despair that precedes Sasuke's desertion. 168 169
- Orochimaru — Predatory recruiter and source of Sasuke's Cursed Seal. Initially targets Sasuke's Uchiha body and Sharingan as a future vessel, exploiting his desire for revenge. Although Sen interrupts his early attempts, Sasuke later accepts the Sound Four's invitation to seek Orochimaru's power and eventually reaches his base. 90 93 94 169 181
- Sound Four — Orochimaru's agents who lure Sasuke away by promising strength and depicting Konoha as a place that will keep him weak. 169
- Tsunade — Hokage who orders Sasuke's retrieval and confronts him in ANBU confinement. She condemns his desertion and harm to his comrades, warning that he will remain imprisoned until he understands his actions. 169 177
- Gaara — Chūnin Exam opponent whose sand defense Sasuke penetrates with Chidori. Gaara's injury occurs just before the finals are disrupted by the invasion. 118 120
- Daughter — Sasuke later has a daughter who possesses the Sharingan and belongs to the new Team Seven led by Konohamaru. Her name is not given in the supplied passage. 384
Story Role / Major Arcs
Ninja Academy
Sasuke is introduced as one of Sen's classmates and is stunned by Sen's enormous chakra reserves. He responds by reaffirming his belief that the Uchiha are the strongest. 4 5
During the annual mixed-grade melee, he watches Sen frighten Gangzi into a breakdown without apparent chakra use, increasing his wariness of Sen's unknown abilities. 17
He also demonstrates genuine aptitude for ordinary Academy techniques, producing a perfect Clone Technique after only two attempts. 6
Challenge to Sen
After Naruto repeatedly boasts about Sen, Sasuke challenges Sen to a duel. When Sen refuses, Sasuke ambushes him with Great Fireball Jutsu. Sen cleaves the attack apart with a dead branch and nearly decapitates Sasuke with the remaining chakra slash. 22 23
Unable to understand or counter what happened, Sasuke spends a day and night studying ninjutsu theory. He ultimately abandons his earlier contempt and dedicates himself to surpassing Sen. 24
Team Seven
Sasuke is assigned to Team Seven alongside Naruto, Sakura, and the exceptional fourth member, Sen. He activates his one-tomoe Sharingan upon hearing Sen's name, viewing the assignment as an opportunity to watch and eventually defeat his new rival. 37
During Kakashi's bell test, Sasuke hides and attacks with Great Fireball Jutsu but is quickly subdued by Headhunter Jutsu. After Sen defeats Kakashi and takes both bells, Sen gives one to Sasuke by placing it in his mouth. 41 44
Despite his resentment, Sasuke recognizes that Sen is the only teammate capable of reversing Kakashi's decision to eliminate them. He subsequently watches Kakashi resort to Lightning Cutter against Sen. 42 43
Land of Waves Escort
Sasuke joins Team Seven's C-rank mission to escort bridge builder Dazna to the Land of Waves. He travels light, carrying only a short blade. 49 50
Zabuza's killing intent nearly breaks his composure. He is stunned that Sen remains unaffected and later watches Sen withstand the Kubikiribōchō, break the sword, and destroy a water clone. 54 57
Sen's ability to reproduce a technique after one look further undermines Sasuke's confidence in his Uchiha bloodline. Sasuke privately resolves to uncover the source of Sen's strength, believing that such power would allow him to kill Itachi. 62
During the bridge battle, Haku traps Sasuke inside the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals. His one-tomoe Sharingan can perceive the incoming senbon, but his body cannot keep pace with them. When Naruto is threatened by another barrage, Sasuke instinctively shields him and collapses unconscious with multiple wounds. Naruto's grief triggers a surge of Nine-Tails chakra, but he remains unable to break the mirrors before Sen's intervention. 66 67
Sasuke survives and attends the completed bridge's opening in a wheelchair. Watching the villagers celebrate Sen, he renews his determination to surpass him and restore recognition of the Uchiha name. He returns to Konoha still injured, eventually refusing Sakura's assistance as he makes his way forward. 74 75
Chūnin Exams
Sasuke enters the Chūnin Exams with Naruto and Sakura while Sen serves as a roaming examiner. He initially responds dismissively to the gathered competition. 84
In the Forest of Death, Team Seven carries an Earth Scroll and is ambushed by Orochimaru disguised as a Grass Ninja. Sasuke is paralyzed by the intruder's killing intent, and Sen intervenes before Orochimaru can mark him. Sen subsequently helps him recover from the shock. 90 91
Orochimaru later again targets Sasuke, seeking his body and Sharingan while promising power to kill the man he hates. Sasuke activates the two-tomoe Sharingan but remains immobilized. Sen interrupts, and Orochimaru shifts his interest toward Sen after witnessing Wood Release. Recognizing Sen's ability to handle the danger, Sasuke restrains Naruto from rushing into the confrontation. 93 94 96
After Sen forces Orochimaru to flee, Sasuke silently surveys the devastated battlefield and recognizes that the encounter was a one-sided defeat rather than an even contest. He also quietly hands the newly awakened Sakura an apple. 99
Kakashi takes Sasuke into the wilderness for a month of special training before the finals. They arrive at the arena shortly before Sasuke would have forfeited. Sasuke initially overwhelms Gaara with speed and taijutsu, then uses Chidori to penetrate the sand sphere enclosing him. Gaara screams after being wounded, but the apparent advantage does not become a confirmed victory before the arena crisis begins. 109 118 120
Itachi's Return and Desertion
As his frustration grows, Sasuke barricades himself in his room, burns the door with Fire Release, and declares that he will leave Konoha for greater power. Sen initially dismisses the behavior as adolescent rebellion. 160
At the hospital, Sasuke overhears that Itachi has returned and demands to know his location, activating his two-tomoe Sharingan. He pursues his brother to an inn outside Tanzaku Town, where Itachi easily overpowers him and traps him in Tsukuyomi. The illusion subjects him to what feels like seventy-two hours of repeated stabbing, leaving him hospitalized. 168 169
After waking, Sasuke dwells on his helplessness against Haku, Naruto's growth, and Sen's overwhelming superiority. Convinced that remaining in Konoha will prevent him from reaching his goals, he accepts the Sound Four's promise of Orochimaru's power. His Cursed Seal reacts to their offer. 169
Sakura tries to stop him at the village entrance, pleading that his departure will destroy Team Seven. Sasuke thanks her, knocks her unconscious with a strike to the neck, and leaves that night. Tsunade orders Shikamaru to organize a pursuit, while Naruto seeks Sen's help. Sen reluctantly accompanies the squad after judging the young ninja badly outmatched by their opponents. 169 170
First Valley of the End Battle and Confinement
Sasuke emerges from a recovery barrel empowered by the Cursed Seal and heads toward Orochimaru, ignoring Naruto and Sen. At the Valley of the End, he rejects Naruto's appeals to return and insists that he needs Orochimaru's strength to kill Itachi. Their fight escalates from close combat to Chidori and Rasengan. 174
Sasuke activates the seal's second stage, gaining gray skin and fleshy wings. Naruto responds with the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak. Sasuke boasts that his new power makes both Naruto and Sen inferior to him, but the final clash leaves his attacking arm limp and Naruto unconscious. Their attacks avoid immediately killing either fighter. 174 175
When Sasuke tries to continue toward Orochimaru, Sen confronts him. Sasuke attacks in rage, but Sen defeats him, binds him with a Wood Dragon, and carries him back to Konoha. 175 176 177
Tsunade visits Sasuke in an underground ANBU cell, where chakra chains restrain him. She condemns his desertion and warns that he will remain confined until he understands his wrongdoing. Sasuke barely responds, consumed by the speed of his defeat and the realization that Orochimaru's power has not closed the gap with Sen. 177
His withdrawal does not last. Naruto later reports that Sasuke has torn open his cell and threatened to burn Sen's orchard unless granted a duel. A subsequent Root report states that Sasuke has fled to Orochimaru's base; the available account does not detail the transition between these developments. 178 181
Fourth Shinobi World War and Revolutionary Ambitions
Sasuke takes part in the final wartime events alongside Naruto and Sen. By this period, he carries an electrically charged sword and has developed abilities far beyond his early genin level. Even before the war's aftermath is settled, he and Naruto turn their attention toward deciding which of them is stronger. 346 349
After Kaguya's defeat, Sasuke threatens Sen for interfering in his intended final reckoning with Naruto. He proceeds to the Valley of the End and announces a revolution: he will kill the Five Kage, control the Tailed Beasts, and make himself the world's enemy so that everyone else will unite against him. Naruto rejects the plan as another extension of revenge and refuses to let Sasuke reach the Kage. 349 351
Their battle pits Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra form against Sasuke's Susanoo and devastates the valley. Sasuke rejects Naruto's appeal to their bond and draws chakra from the nine Tailed Beasts imprisoned in stone spheres, preparing an enormous lightning attack despite the physical strain. 352 353
Sasuke's confidence reaches its height when the absorbed chakra enlarges Susanoo and he declares himself a god. Sen secretly strikes its weak left knee with a chakra-coated pebble, spoiling Sasuke's attack and allowing Naruto to break the armor. Susanoo collapses, severing Sasuke's connection to the Beasts. 355
Nearly exhausted, Naruto and Sasuke make one final charge with Rasengan and Chidori. Both lose an arm at the elbow. Sen seals their wounds to stop the bleeding, but initially leaves the missing limbs unrestored while Sasuke continues to threaten him. 355 356
Healing, Renewed Defiance, and Punishment
Sen offers both wounded fighters Wood Release Fruits, demanding that Sasuke repay him by serving plates at the village ramen shop in a maid outfit. After resisting the humiliation and enduring Naruto's mockery, Sasuke reluctantly calls Sen “boss” and accepts. The fruit painfully but completely regenerates his left arm. 357
Restored strength immediately revives Sasuke's revolutionary ambitions. He refuses to honor the agreement, again declares that he will kill the Five Kage, and attacks Sen with Chidori channeled through his broken Kusanagi Sword. Sen catches the attack barehanded with Sage-enhanced wooden armor. 357 358
Sasuke and Naruto are subsequently kept tied up outside Konoha for three days. Sen demands fifty million ryō as compensation for the destruction they caused. The Five Kage object to the public humiliation of the war heroes, but back down after Sen asserts his power. 360
Sen releases the weakened pair into a muddy pit and instructs Naruto to take Sasuke to the hospital. Sasuke remains verbally defiant, but is too exhausted to pursue the revolution at that moment. 360
Atonement and Ōtsutsuki Investigations
Sasuke later roams the world to atone and occasionally sends reports or postcards to Sen. His investigation of an ancient Ōtsutsuki ruin uncovers Divine Tree murals depicting beings other than Kaguya, including one carrying a red fishing rod. He also finds a special coordinate mark and suspects that the clan can locate targets with highly concentrated Divine Tree chakra, making Sen a likely target. 381
During the later generation, Sasuke's daughter joins the new Team Seven alongside Naruto's son and Orochimaru's son. 384
Sasuke eventually returns through a spatial portal and crashes into Sen's vegetable patch, badly wounded after a confrontation in an alternate dimension. He urgently warns that Momoshiki and Kinshiki have already targeted Konoha. 390 391
When the two Ōtsutsuki descend, Sasuke attempts to shelter himself and Naruto inside Susanoo. His depleted chakra causes the partial construct to crack, and he asks Naruto for Nine-Tails chakra so they can attempt Majestic Attire: Susanoo, even if doing so costs his remaining eye's sight. Sen dismisses their desperation and handles the attackers himself. 391 392
After Momoshiki and Kinshiki are defeated, Sasuke warns that the wider danger remains. He produces a damaged scroll and reports finding Kara's true stronghold in the Far North, identifying its leader Jigen as the host of Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. Sen responds by locating and dragging Jigen out of hiding with roots. Sasuke is stunned enough by the immediate capture that his Kusanagi Sword falls onto the stone table. 392 393
