Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Two-Tomoe Sharingan	52	Awakens during Itachi’s physical assault and Tsukuyomi reenactment of the Uchiha massacre. Sasuke initially appears unaware of the change.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan	89	His anger, self-doubt, and determination after repeated comparisons with Naruto drive another evolution, revealed during his spar with Neji.
Sage Mode	89	Gathers natural energy while Neji has sealed his chakra points, then activates senjutsu chakra and prepares Sage Art: Chidori. Naruto is later identified as his senjutsu teacher 146.
Lightning chakra nature transformation	146	Following Kakashi’s instruction, begins combining Lightning Release and senjutsu to enhance himself and his ninjutsu.
Sage Art: Fire Release: Suzaku	247	First documented use gathers the surrounding flames into a gigantic firebird against Orochimaru. The attack leaves Sasuke nearly incapacitated.
Awakened Indra chakra	298	Black Zetsu detects Indra’s chakra within him and considers using him against Naruto. His Sharingan still has three tomoe.
Tsukuyomi alternate dimension	336	By this chapter, possesses an alternate dimension called Tsukuyomi, where Fugaku and Mikoto are preserved in ice. Its acquisition is not described.
Right-eye Mangekyō Sharingan	346	Reports awakening it during ordinary training without an obvious emotional trigger. Demonstrates both Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi in the same eye.
Amaterasu Suzaku	357	Combines stored Amaterasu flames, Kagutsuchi, and Suzaku into his strongest attack at that point. Urashiki ultimately absorbs it.
Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes	365	His adult counterpart notices matching patterns in both eyes after Naruto rescues them during Urashiki’s escalating attack.
Susanoo	471	Documented using Susanoo alongside Amaterasu while dealing with the tailed beasts. Later activates it reflexively when the Fourth Raikage’s speed threatens him 475.

Appearance

• Black hair: Explicitly described during the encounter with Hidan and the later reunion with Itachi 133 554.
• Uchiha crest: Wears the clan’s fan emblem; children in the hidden Uchiha settlement recognize it as matching their own 9 202.
• Sharingan: Scarlet eyes with tomoe; his Mangekyō pattern takes the form of hexagrams 89 475.
• Sage Mode features: Slit, foxlike pupils and black markings at the corners of his eyes, distinct from Naruto’s markings 89.
• Later growth: By the Fourth Round of the Shinobi War, his height and build are much closer to Itachi’s, with little boyish immaturity remaining in his face 554.

Personality

Sasuke initially treasures his limited time with Itachi, politely resisting Naruto’s attempt to join their training. The massacre transforms that attachment into grief and a determination to become strong enough to confront his brother 9 52 53.

He is intensely competitive, particularly toward Naruto, but increasingly capable of recognizing his own weaknesses. Kakashi describes him as a diligent trainee who sometimes overworks himself, can speak honestly about his feelings, and makes a good comrade. Repeated defeats motivate him rather than persuade him to give up 88 89 148.

His confidence does not always amount to recklessness. Against Orochimaru, he recognizes when victory is beyond him and considers escape and reinforcements. He also shows restraint toward weaker opponents, concern for teammates, and blunt sympathy for a remorseful Anbu examiner 170 206 244 245 247.

Personal agency becomes central to his conflict with Itachi. Sasuke rejects revenge as an obligation imposed by the surviving clan and refuses to participate in circumstances his brother has arranged for him. Beneath his dismissive remarks about clan pride, he still wants his family restored; Itachi eventually realizes that Sasuke does not hate him 207 417 558.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

• Tracks an opponent’s movements and expressions to identify openings, as demonstrated against Hidan 133.
• Uses Sharingan genjutsu during close combat with Orochimaru and swiftly incapacitates Darui despite the latter’s concealed approach 245 475.
• Uses his ocular power to control troublesome tailed beasts under an arrangement discussed with Konoha and accepted by Shukaku 471.
• This control is not absolute: Shukaku, the Two-Tails, and the Four-Tails eventually learn to resist it 471 472.
• His perception can be defeated by concealment. Neji hides a shadow clone from him, and Sasuke cannot initially detect Izumi’s concealed space 89 208.

Sage Mode

• Learned senjutsu from Naruto; combines natural energy with his chakra to increase his techniques’ power 89 146.
• Enhances his physical strength enough to withstand Hidan’s scythe strike 133.
• Can gather natural energy while appearing defeated, using conversation to conceal his preparations 89.
• Has limited stamina compared with Naruto. Simultaneous Sage Mode, Sharingan, and repeated ninjutsu rapidly exhaust him 246 247.

Lightning Release and Chidori

• Learns the basics of Kakashi’s Chidori and prepares a copied Sage Art: Chidori against Neji 89.
• Channels lightning through his sword for penetrating thrusts and close-range combat 133 245.
• Uses lightning-enhanced movement to create a misleading escape trail before attacking Orochimaru from behind 245.
• Splits Shinji’s Great Fireball with lightning before counterattacking 206.

Fire Release

• Uses Great Fireball, Phoenix Flower Jutsu, and Dragon Fire, combining flames with shuriken and steel wires 206 283 558.
• Employs large-area flames against Orochimaru’s snake swarm rather than fighting each snake individually 246.
• Sage Art: Fire Release: Suzaku gathers existing flames into a gigantic firebird that engulfs its targets and explodes overhead 247.
• Suzaku’s scale comes at a severe cost: its first documented use leaves him unable to continue fighting without support 247.

Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi

• His right Mangekyō eye produces Amaterasu’s black flames and controls or extinguishes them through Kagutsuchi 346.
• Having both abilities in one eye surprises Adult Sasuke, whose own abilities are distributed differently 346.
• Stores a forest of burning Amaterasu inside the Tsukuyomi barrier as preparation for Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi—Amaterasu Suzaku 357.
• Even sustained reinforcement from both Sasukes cannot prevent Urashiki’s golden Rinnegan from absorbing the attack 357.

Tsukuyomi Space

• Transports himself and Adult Sasuke from the Naka Shrine’s hidden chamber into his alternate dimension, Tsukuyomi 336.
• Keeps Fugaku and Mikoto’s bodies preserved there in a massive block of ice 336.
• Opens a pocket space inside Urashiki’s Heavenly Cage and uses its stored flames for an ambush 357.
• Remains inside the barrier with the tailed beasts during the battle, conserving his Sharingan so Adult Sasuke can use their shared eye power 360.

Susanoo

• Uses Susanoo with Amaterasu while responding to disturbances involving the tailed beasts 471.
• Purple chakra and a skeletal arm manifest when the Fourth Raikage’s speed triggers a defensive reflex 475.
• Restrains Darui with Susanoo and swings him around in the move he calls “Uchiha windmill,” deterring nearby Kumogakure ninja 475.

Swordsmanship, Ninja Tools, and Battle Tactics

• Rapidly develops swordsmanship under Kakashi, impressing Mei during his fight with Hidan 131 133.
• Uses shuriken to break an examiner’s landing branch and seize his mask 244.
• Conceals steel wires among chakra-based attacks to exploit Neji’s focus on visible chakra, then draws discarded weapons back into a fire trap 283.
• Turns Orochimaru’s capture attempt against him with a Shadow Clone and deliberately lowered Sage Mode markings 246.
• Combines shuriken, clones, wires, fire, and Chidori to defeat Itachi’s clone in a nonlethal spar 558.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• White Fang / White Light Chakra Sabre — Kakashi gives him his late father’s reforged chakra short sword and promises swordsmanship training. Sasuke subsequently uses a lightning-charged sabre against Hidan and Neji 131 133 283.
• Kunai and shuriken — Used for direct attacks, terrain disruption, feints, and coordinated traps 53 244 283 558.
• Steel wires — Concealed attachments allow him to retrieve weapons and channel Dragon Fire around Neji 283.

Relationships

• Itachi Uchiha — Older brother, childhood idol, and the central figure in his revenge. Their later confrontation shifts toward honest discussion and Sasuke’s desire to restore their family rather than merely punish him 9 52 417 557 558.
• Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha — Parents killed during the massacre. Sasuke keeps their preserved bodies unburied while struggling to understand Itachi’s actions and Izumi’s intentions 52 336.
• Naruto Uzumaki — Teammate, rescuer, senjutsu teacher, and competitive benchmark. Sasuke complains about his behavior but refuses to hurt his closest friend and continues to rely on his support 53 89 127 146 207 321.
• Kakashi Hatake — Team leader and mentor who teaches him Lightning Release and swordsmanship, gives him White Fang, and recognizes his value as a Konoha ninja 131 146 148.
• Neji Hyuga — Trusted sparring rival. Their repeated matches drive new techniques; Neji also helps protect him after the Orochimaru encounter 88 89 247 248 283.
• Hinata Hyuga — Teammate who warns him of Hidan’s survival, treats his injuries, and supports him after Suzaku exhausts him 133 134 247.
• Karin — Rescued from abusive Grass ninja by Sasuke and Naruto. She becomes interested in Sasuke and later offers him a healing bite, which he declines while asking her to keep watch 141 142 247.
• Uchiha Izumi — Familiar older-sister figure and leader of the surviving clan. She teaches him about their hardships, challenges his convictions, and later becomes an opponent over the Shinobi War 203 204 207 555 569.
• Adult Sasuke — Counterpart from another timeline, not this Sasuke’s later life as established in the story. He provides Mangekyō guidance, shares his painful history, and respects the younger Sasuke’s refusal to have his choices controlled 336 346 417.
• Orochimaru — Predatory enemy who targets him as a prospective vessel. Sasuke’s strength, tactical discipline, and knowledge repeatedly disrupt Orochimaru’s expectations 245 246.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Childhood and the Uchiha Massacre

Sasuke first appears accompanying Itachi to shuriken practice. As the clan crisis intensifies, Itachi becomes less available, brushing aside another training request before pursuing his secret arrangements 9 45.

On the massacre night, Sasuke finds his parents dead and initially turns to Itachi for reassurance. Itachi instead wounds him, subjects him to Tsukuyomi, and claims their loving relationship was only a test. Itachi privately intends this cruelty to turn hatred into the power Sasuke will need to survive 52.

Naruto interrupts the assault and forces Itachi to release him. While Minato evacuates other survivors, Sasuke remains in Konoha under the Third Hokage’s promised protection. After waking in hospital, he runs to the destroyed compound and confirms that his family’s loss was real 53 57 61.

Team Training and Missions

Kakashi’s criticism helps Sasuke become more conscious of his shortcomings. During a spar with Neji, he reveals his evolved Sharingan and senjutsu instead of accepting apparent defeat 88 89.

On the Akatsuki investigation journey, he asks Kakashi for anything that will help him kill Itachi and receives White Fang. Against Hidan, his new sword skills produce an apparently decisive heart wound, but Hinata’s warning and Naruto’s teleportation save him from the consequences of assuming Hidan is dead 127 131 133 134.

He later helps rescue Karin from Grass ninja and, in the Land of Waves, fights through Gato’s guards with Shino before killing Gato 141 170.

Encounter with the Surviving Uchiha

At the hidden settlement among ancient Rōran’s ruins, Sasuke expects a clan defined by revenge. Izumi instead shows him elderly residents, children, ordinary workers, and a community struggling to secure basic necessities 203 204 205.

Young Uchiha avengers attempt to kill him because hurting Itachi’s surviving relative seems easier than confronting Itachi himself. Sasuke defeats them while holding back, then declares that his revenge belongs to his own family—not to the clan’s demands 206 207.

Chunin Exams and Orochimaru

After defeating an Anbu examiner, Sasuke encounters Orochimaru in the Forest of Death. He maintains his composure, uses Sage Mode and layered deception, and eventually unleashes Suzaku with protection from Hinata and Neji 244 245 246 247.

The attack leaves him exhausted, and Anko offers withdrawal. Sasuke insists on continuing. His later match against Neji features wired weapons, Dragon Fire, and another Suzaku attack 248 283.

Adult Counterpart and Urashiki

The arrival of Adult Sasuke allows the younger Sasuke to compare their radically different lives. He shows his counterpart their preserved parents, hears about the adult’s losses, and later seeks help understanding his unusually awakened Mangekyō 333 336 346.

During Urashiki’s attack, Sasuke uses Amaterasu Suzaku and supports his adult counterpart by conserving their shared eye power inside Tsukuyomi. After Naruto intervenes in the escalating battle, Adult Sasuke notices that both of the younger Sasuke’s eyes now bear the Mangekyō pattern 357 360 365.

Tailed Beasts and Kumogakure

Sasuke helps manage the tailed beasts’ frenzy through Sharingan control. When three beasts develop resistance, he withdraws rather than indulge Shukaku’s demand for a fight 471 472.

During the confrontation in Kumogakure, he subdues Darui with genjutsu. The Fourth Raikage’s unexpected speed triggers his Mangekyō and Susanoo instinctively; he then uses Darui to deter the surrounding ninja while Naruto engages the Raikage 475 476.

Shinobi War and Family Reckoning

Sasuke exposes Itachi’s plan to obtain the Rinnegan and revive the murdered Uchiha at the cost of his life. He does not oppose resurrection itself, but declares that he intends to prevent anyone—including himself—from winning the Shinobi War 554.

His conversation and nonlethal spar with Itachi force his brother to recognize the difference between clan penance and restoring their family. Later, Sasuke stands before Izumi’s Perfect Susanoo and challenges the purpose of her revenge 557 558 569.

During the subsequent blockade of the Konoha camp, an exhausted Sasuke considers investigating outside. Guy and Lee act first, exposing the enormous strength of the Nine-Tails shadow clone guarding the camp 600.

Trivia

• Sasuke dismisses Itachi’s instruction to kill his closest friend for the Mangekyō on two grounds: he would never hurt Naruto, and if he were strong enough to kill him, he would not need the Mangekyō 321.
• His declaration that he wants to “sever” his bond with Naruto follows sleeplessness and irritation at Naruto’s romantic enthusiasm—not an actual departure from Team 7 127.
• The Rinnegan, Amenotejikara, and Perfect Susanoo used in the duel with Urashiki belong to Adult Sasuke. The younger Sasuke’s documented contribution includes Amaterasu Suzaku, the Tsukuyomi barrier, and conservation of their shared eye power 357 359 360.
