History

Sasuke initially attends the Ninja Academy as the young heir of the Uchiha Clan and draws considerable attention from the academy girls. 24 After losing a practical combat test to a commoner child, he is reprimanded by Fugaku and admits to Itachi that Tahm’s students know more ninjutsu than he does. Itachi urges him to put aside Uchiha pride, seek genuine comrades, and learn from Tahm. 60

He quickly becomes close friends with Naruto and begins attending Tahm’s training class. Itachi starts collecting him from training every day, occasionally teaching alongside Tahm. 62 When Danzō controls Tahm through Kotoamatsukami, Tahm attacks Sasuke; Itachi intervenes and protects his brother. 64

The Uchiha massacre and Tahm’s disappearance leave Sasuke struggling at school, though Naruto supports him through the aftermath. 66 Itachi later reveals the truth behind the clan’s destruction. Sasuke initially swears to destroy Konohagakure, but Itachi uses Kotoamatsukami to instill a resolve to protect the village while Sasuke retains his hatred of Danzō. 81 After Tahm kills Danzō, Sasuke returns to training with the new goal of bringing Itachi back from darkness. 82

He is assigned to Team Kakashi alongside Hinata Hyūga and Karin Uzumaki. Under the influence of Kotoamatsukami, Sasuke sincerely declares his desire to inherit the Will of Fire and become Hokage. 156

Appearance

Sasuke’s defining visual feature is his scarlet Sharingan, which has two tomoe during his childhood and later develops into a six-pointed Eternal Mangekyō pattern. 175 261 His Cursed Seal transformations radically alter his body into draconic armored forms.

• Sage Art: Cursed Seal Armor — Black, metallic armor that enlarges him into a warrior over two meters tall, with a barbed dragon tail and blood-red Sharingan visible through the armor. 202
• Dragon traits — The armor can form wings for flight, a hammer-like tail, bladed extensions, and hardened tendrils that erupt through the ground. 203
• Red-Eyes Black Dragon — A massive black dragon form used alongside Itachi’s Susanoo. 216
• Later attire — By the Hokage election, he wears a serious high-collared office shirt rather than provocative battle clothing. 376

Personality

Sasuke begins as a proud and frustrated child who measures himself against others’ strength. His defeat in the combat test exposes both his insecurity and his willingness to acknowledge those stronger than him when speaking privately with Itachi. 60

His attachment to Itachi is central to his choices. After learning the truth of the Uchiha tragedy, he directs his training toward saving his brother rather than pursuing revenge alone. 81 82 He is also deeply affected by the Will of Fire imposed through Kotoamatsukami, becoming an unusually fervent advocate of Konohagakure and his ambition to become Hokage. 156 166

Despite his normally composed image, Sasuke is easily flustered by embarrassment, particularly after Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal incident. 197 He is also an effective performer: during the staged confrontation with Itachi, he draws on his former anger and grief to make his role convincing. 175
