Background / History
Sasuke introduced himself as a person with few likes, many dislikes, and no interest in ordinary dreams. His stated ambitions were to revive the Uchiha Clan and kill an unnamed man later identified as Itachi Uchiha. 6
As a member of Team 7, Sasuke initially dismissed Naruto but began reassessing him during Kakashi’s bell test. He accepted Naruto’s preparation and strategy, then disguised himself as one of Naruto’s Shadow Clones to help secure the team’s pass. 7 During the Land of Waves mission, he was the first to counter the Demon Brothers’ attack, but Zabuza’s killing intent initially overwhelmed him. Naruto’s courage and rapidly improving abilities became a source of both admiration and anxiety. 8 10 11
Sasuke’s refusal to remain weak led to his Sharingan awakening during the battle against Zabuza and Haku. He subsequently pursued Naruto’s pace through chakra-control training, Sharingan development, and Kakashi’s instruction in Lightning Release and Chidori. 16 19
During the Chunin Exams, Sasuke exposed the false classroom genjutsu, fought Rock Lee without underestimating his taijutsu, and adapted quickly during Team 7’s confrontation with Orochimaru. Orochimaru’s praise of Sasuke’s potential and repeated references to Itachi intensified Sasuke’s fixation on revenge. 23 24 26 27 He later fought Gaara with Lightning-enhanced speed and Chidori, then pursued him during the Konoha Crush. Against Shukaku, Sasuke trusted Naruto’s plan and used Chidori to wake Gaara, ending the transformation. 37 39
Naruto’s accelerating strength deepened Sasuke’s insecurity. After Naruto decisively defeated him at the training ground, Sasuke chose to leave Konoha for Orochimaru’s power, believing he could otherwise never surpass Naruto or avenge his clan. 50 63 Naruto’s letter at the Valley of the End changed the terms of their bond: Sasuke accepted that Naruto still understood him as a friend and considered returning to Konoha after completing his revenge. 66
While at Orochimaru’s side, Sasuke became calmer, more deliberate, and increasingly hostile toward his teacher. Naruto later gave him evidence about the Uchiha massacre, revealing Itachi’s role as a double agent and Danzo’s manipulation of the clan conflict. Sasuke’s certainty about revenge collapsed, and he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after deciding to control his own destiny. 102 103
Sasuke ultimately turned on Orochimaru. He survived Orochimaru’s reincarnation ritual, burned him with Amaterasu, controlled the flames through Kagutsuchi, and destroyed him completely. 109 110 He formed Taka with Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karin, shared Orochimaru’s research and evidence against Danzo with Naruto, and chose to pursue Danzo while preserving a path back to Konoha. 113
After defeating Itachi and learning more about his brother’s sacrifice, Sasuke transplanted Itachi’s eyes and awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. He then infiltrated Akatsuki as a covert operative, using his apparent defection to gather intelligence and protect Konoha’s interests. 131 137 He killed Danzo while maintaining his cover beside Tobi, becoming publicly designated as an S-rank rogue ninja despite his continuing covert allegiance. 143 144
Sasuke’s undercover role was revealed during the Fourth Shinobi World War, confirming that he had remained loyal to Naruto and Konoha while operating within enemy circles. 193 Later, after receiving power from the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura, he sought Awen’s instruction rather than relying on his new Rinnegan alone. 223 He ultimately joined Awen on a mission to another world through an unstable space-time route. 248 249
Appearance
Following his departure from Konoha, Sasuke adopts a mature white outfit: a white shirt with a deep V-shaped opening, a purple rope belt, the Uchiha fan crest on his back, and the Sword of Kusanagi at his waist. 100

Personality
Sasuke begins as distant, proud, and singularly focused on avenging the Uchiha Clan. He measures himself harshly against Naruto and reacts to Naruto’s growth with frustration, but that rivalry motivates him to train rather than surrender. 11 14
His time with Orochimaru does not erase his moral boundaries. Sasuke openly condemns Orochimaru’s human experimentation, body theft, and disregard for life, viewing them as beneath the Uchiha name. 110 He becomes increasingly self-directed after learning the truth about Itachi, rejecting both blind revenge and the idea that Itachi, Orochimaru, Konoha, or Tobi should decide his future. 103 109
Despite his reserved manner, Sasuke repeatedly shows loyalty through action: protecting Tazuna, fighting beside Naruto against Gaara, carrying Naruto after the battle, entrusting Naruto with evidence against Danzo, and secretly serving Konoha from within Akatsuki. 14 39 40 113 137 His familiar sarcasm toward Naruto persists even as their trust becomes one of his defining bonds. 113 248

Relationships
- Naruto Uzumaki — Rival, closest friend, and trusted confidant. Naruto’s growth drives Sasuke’s insecurity, but Naruto’s letter and honesty redirect Sasuke away from blind revenge; Sasuke later acts as Naruto’s covert ally. 50 66 103 137 193
- Itachi Uchiha — Older brother and original target of Sasuke’s revenge. Learning Itachi’s motives forces Sasuke to reconsider his life, and Itachi’s death leads Sasuke to inherit his eyes and mission. 103 131
