Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Improved Perfect Susanoo compatibility	88	His Perfect Susanoo remains agile enough to pressure Code with Kagutsuchi and the Heavenly Kaguya Arrow, though Code later destroys it with a punch. 88
Hashirama Cell bloodline fusion / advanced Rinnegan	91	After a 10.5-day coma, absorbed Hashirama Cells enable his left hand to regrow and advance his Mangekyō into Rinnegan, greatly increasing his chakra and dōjutsu power. 91
Critical Leap: Amenotejikara: Energy Swap	91	At the edge of defeat, he swaps the chakra flowing through himself and Code, enabling an Indra's Arrow that annihilates Code. Sasuke considers the feat an unstable result of a residual bloodline factor. 91

Background / History

An account of the Uchiha massacre identifies Itachi as having slaughtered the clan while leaving Sasuke behind. Sasuke's later reflections show that his pursuit of strength was rooted in resentment toward his own helplessness on that night, as much as in revenge against Itachi. 28 90

By the opening arcs, Sasuke is frequently absent from Konoha while investigating threats connected to the Sharingan. After defeating a White Zetsu in a distant jungle, he sends Naruto information about the encounter. 22

Sarada eventually finds him at a tower after years of separation. Their reunion is strained: Sasuke responds coldly to her questions about his absence, leaving her distressed and reinforcing her sense of abandonment. 24

Appearance

Sasuke is first shown to Sarada with disheveled hair and a single visible eye fixed on her with a severe, interrogative stare. 24 During the Ōtsutsuki crisis, he appears in a black cloak and carries a Kusanagi Blade. 161

• Possesses Sharingan and later advanced Rinnegan dōjutsu. 25 91
• Can manifest purple Susanoo chakra constructs ranging from skeletal armor to Perfect Susanoo. 25 88
• Regrows his previously missing left hand after integrating Hashirama Cells. 89 91

Personality

Sasuke is blunt and emotionally guarded, particularly around Sarada early in the story. He initially refuses to explain his prolonged absence and treats her questions as none of his business. 24 Beneath that detachment, however, he immediately prioritizes her safety when she is abducted, choosing to hold off a vastly stronger opponent so Naruto can pursue her. 27

In combat, Sasuke is analytical and adaptable. He observes unfamiliar abilities, identifies limitations, and changes tactics rather than relying on brute force; this is central to his fights against Code, Isshiki, and Urashiki. 87 91 133 His fear of being powerless—especially when Sarada is endangered—also drives him toward reckless measures, including deliberately injuring himself to exploit Amenotejikara's Damage Swap. 89 90

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Rinnegan

Sasuke's dōjutsu grants perception, genjutsu, and access to several Rinnegan paths. His Sharingan can accurately read incoming projectile attacks, while his later Rinnegan evolution significantly expands his combat options. 25 91

• Uses Almighty Push and Super: Almighty Push to repel enemies and levitate in battle. 87 88
• Creates a gravitational seal with Chibaku Tensei; Gaara can provide additional material for the seal. 87
• Uses the Preta Path to absorb Code's chakra. 87
• Attempts to extract Code's soul while burning him with Amaterasu. 87
• Casts a despair-inducing genjutsu on the Five Kage to force them to confront the reality of the Ōtsutsuki threat. 161

Amenotejikara

Amenotejikara is Sasuke's principal tactical technique, allowing him to exchange positions with people or objects in range. He uses it to reverse enemy attacks, create surprise openings, and reposition allies. 25 87 133

• Switches places with Shin, causing Shin to be struck by his own blades. 25
• Redirects Code's claw gale back at Code. 87
• Can exchange himself with objects, allies, shadow clones, or incoming attacks. 87 91 133
• Damage Swap transfers Sasuke's injuries to an opponent, but can also transfer damage Sasuke inflicted onto himself. 89
• Energy Swap temporarily exchanges chakra flows between targets; Sasuke uses it to deprive Code of power before firing Indra's Arrow. 91
• Its standard applications are restricted to an Amenotejikara barrier range and fail outside that area. 91

Susanoo

Sasuke can manifest Susanoo in several stages, including skeletal, humanoid, Complete Body, and Perfect Form. It serves as armor, a giant weapon platform, and a means of aerial combat. 25 27 88

• Uses a skeletal Susanoo to block Shin's shuriken barrage. 25
• Deploys Complete Body Susanoo against the cloaked man's Wood Release Buddha. 27
• Enhances Susanoo's sword with Chidori for increased cutting power. 27
• Uses Perfect Susanoo's sword, flame-coated armor, and Heavenly Kaguya Arrow against Code. 88
• Susanoo is not invulnerable; the White-Robed Man, Code, and Isshiki each break forms of it through overwhelming force. 29 88 161

Fire and Lightning Release

Sasuke combines Fire and Lightning Release with his dōjutsu and swordsmanship for high-output attacks.

• Amaterasu — Black flames used against Code and Isshiki. 87 133
• Kagutsuchi — Spreads and shapes Amaterasu across Susanoo; forms the Heavenly Kaguya Arrow. 88
• Chidori / Chidori Sharp Spear — Used for close-range piercing and extended lightning strikes. 26 89
• Scorching Style: Chidori Current Thunder — Temporarily freezes Isshiki with dark-blue lightning. 161
• Blaze Style: Load Divide Blast Wave — A lightning-and-flame combination that pierces and ignites Code internally. 89
• Scorching Style: Brilliant Flame and Blaze Release: Bird Song Lightning — Powerful fire-lightning attacks used against Isshiki and Urashiki. 133 138

Regeneration and Bloodline Fusion

Sasuke accidentally absorbs Hashirama Cells through the nutrient solution administered during his hospitalization. The fusion rapidly restores his body and supports the advancement of his ocular power. 91

• Regrows his left hand after having been one-armed for more than a decade. 89 91
• Recovers from injuries that had placed him in a critical condition. 31 91
• Gains enough additional chakra and dōjutsu power to challenge Code after awakening. 91

Summoning

Sasuke can summon the hawk Garuda for aerial transport and rescue.

• Uses Garuda to catch Boruto and Naruto after his Susanoo is shattered midair. 29

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Kusanagi Blade — Sasuke's primary sword; used to counter Shin's blades, sever Shin's arm, and channel lightning and flame techniques. 25 26 133
• Black cloak — Worn during the confrontation with Isshiki and Urashiki in Konoha. 161

Relationships

• Sarada Uchiha — His daughter. Their early relationship is painful and distant due to his absence, but Sasuke places her rescue above his own safety and later recognizes the depth of her concern for him. 24 27 90
• Naruto Uzumaki — Longstanding ally and battle partner. Sasuke coordinates Amenotejikara exchanges with Naruto against Isshiki and assumes the acting Hokage role after Naruto is captured. 30 133 157
• Sakura — Sarada's mother and a Konoha ally who fights beside Sasuke against Shin's forces and later treats his injuries. 25 157
• Boruto Uzumaki — A younger ally who aids Sasuke during the White-Robed Man conflict, heals him with Mystical Palm Technique, and later fights beside him against Isshiki and Urashiki. 27 163
• Gaara and Shukaku — Allied combatants during the battle against Code. Gaara reinforces Sasuke's Chibaku Tensei and rescues him after he expends Deva Path power, while Shukaku supplies chakra for Sasuke's continued fight. 87 88 89
• Code — A Kara adversary whose overwhelming strength forces Sasuke to use every aspect of his Rinnegan, Susanoo, and tactical ingenuity. 87 91
• Isshiki and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki — Ōtsutsuki invaders whom Sasuke confronts repeatedly to protect Konoha and prevent them from taking the Plow. 161 163

Story Role / Major Arcs

Lost Fledgling and the White-Robed Man

Sasuke's investigation into White Zetsu activity brings Naruto, Boruto, and Sarada to him. He defeats Shin Uchiha's initial assault through Sharingan perception, Amenotejikara, and Kusanagi swordsmanship. 22 25 26

When Sarada is abducted, Sasuke stays behind against the cloaked Wood Release user so Naruto can search for her. He escalates to Complete Body Susanoo but is overwhelmed by the enemy's Sage Mode and True Several Thousand Hands. 27 He later suffers catastrophic wounds from the White-Robed Man's ocular abilities and remains in critical condition after the battle. 30 31

Battle Against Code

Sasuke joins Gaara and Shukaku against Code, immediately recognizing that Code exceeds Naruto at his peak. He counters Code's claw-mark teleportation through battlefield control, aerial movement, Amenotejikara, Almighty Push, chakra absorption, and soul extraction attempts. 86 87

After Code shatters Perfect Susanoo, Sasuke continues fighting with Shukaku's chakra. He endures the loss of an arm and much of his body, then uses Damage Swap to return his injuries to Code. 88 89 Following his coma and bloodline fusion, Sasuke unlocks a stronger Rinnegan state and defeats Code with Critical Leap: Amenotejikara: Energy Swap and Indra's Arrow. 91

Ōtsutsuki Crisis

As the Ōtsutsuki threat escalates, Sasuke contributes strategic analysis alongside Kakashi and Shikamaru during major Shinobi World meetings. 108 He later fights with Naruto against Isshiki, repeatedly using Amenotejikara to create coordinated openings for Naruto's attacks and to disrupt Isshiki's Sukunahikona. 132 133

Following Naruto's capture, Sasuke returns to Konoha, briefs the Five Kage, and declares himself temporary acting Hokage. 157 He confronts Isshiki and Urashiki at Konoha's museum when they seek the Plow, protecting the artifact despite suffering severe injuries. 161 162 With Boruto's aid, he helps force the two Ōtsutsuki into retreat, though Urashiki escapes with Isshiki and the Plow. 163
