Although he fulfills Itachi's wish for him to live and protect Konoha, his duty of protecting it from the shadows and investigating the mysteries of Kaguya leave Sasuke unable to spend time with his family, to the point where he failed to recognize his daughter Sarada.

Sasuke takes his duties as a shinobi and a father seriously: he spends most of his daughter's childhood investigating threats greater than Kaguya; he is protective of Sarada and is very supportive of her goal to become Hokage and not end up like him. Sasuke admits his mistakes as a father, but he has strong parenting skills, as he has faith in Sarada's abilities. Nevertheless, Sasuke loves his family dearly, as he tries to spend time with them when he is able to come home, and expresses pride in his daughter's growth and achievements.

According to Hashirama Senju, Sasuke bears a strong resemblance to Izuna Uchiha: he has black eyes and spiky black hair. Sasuke's hair has hung over his face as bangs since he was a child, which as he gets older he allows to grow longer and, in turn, cover more of his face; by adulthood, his hair completely covers the left side of his face. He is considered handsome by most girls near his age.

Sasuke's typical clothing has changed a number of times throughout his life, but the Uchiha clan's crest is usually present somewhere on his clothing, such as the back of his shirt collar. For most of Part I, he wears a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar, white shorts, and, for a time, white arm warmers.

During the Chunin Exams' finals, he wears a black, one-pieced version of this usual attire with many small belts adorning his left arm and similar bands around both legs. He wears a blue-clothed forehead protector with both of these outfits, but starts wearing it less and less after being hospitalized by Itachi, finally abandoning it entirely at the end of Part I.

In Part II, Sasuke consistently wears dark blue pants, over which hangs a blue cloth that covers him from his stomach to his knees, which he secures with a purple rope belt; as is common to Orochimaru and his followers. He initially complements this with a white long-sleeved shirt kept open at the torso and black arm guards that cover his forearms. Leading up to and during his battle with Itachi, he replaces this top with a sleeveless dark grey shirt and the arm guards with bandages on his wrists.

He switches after Itachi's death, wearing a white grey in the anime zippered, high-collared, short-sleeved shirt and blue wrist warmers.

He wears a hooded cloak over his clothing at different points, usually an unadorned black one during his pursuit of Itachi alongside Hebi, and for a brief time, sported the trademark Akatsuki cloak, only with a hood instead of the regular high collar. Sasuke loses his left arm at the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, though, unlike Naruto, he opts not to have it replaced with a prosthetic that was being prepared for him. In The Last: Naruto the Movie, he wears a black high-collared shirt, a midriff-exposing flak jacket, and light blue pants.

Most of this goes unseen, as he wears a tattered light brown poncho over it. He wraps bandages around his ankles and a blue sash around his head during this appearance. In Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise, he wears a black cloak over a black shirt and pants with a white belt and white bandages wrapped up to his knees on both legs.

In his later adulthood, Sasuke dons a black cloak with purple lining, and a grey long-sleeved, collared shirt, over which he wears a periwinkle vest. He also wears black pants, a purple belt, and a dark grey fingerless glove on his remaining hand. He once again wears his forehead protector, letting it hang from his left hip.

In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Sasuke's outfit is revised, having his black cloak gain a storm flap, a maroon cinch on the collar, and maroon lining. His long-sleeved shirt gains light grey cuffs, and he wears a pair of brown leather belts with a black sheath for his sword, a brown shuriken holster, and brown shinobi boots.

Like his older brother Itachi, Sasuke is recognized as a natural prodigy of the Uchiha clan, graduating at the top of his class in the Academy. He makes a strong impression on Kakashi Hatake in the bell test and fights on par with strong shinobi such as Haku and Gaara in Part I. Powerful individuals have noted Sasuke's great potential: Orochimaru offers to help drastically increase his power; Madara Uchiha notes he would have liked to recruit Sasuke had he only been born a few years earlier.

As such, he is regarded as a legendary shinobi and one of the most powerful alive, with Naruto being the only individual capable of defeating him in battle. Naruto views him as being capable of taking the world on in a fight. Though this quality is never really touched upon in Part I, it is frequently noted in Part II; whenever Sasuke's Curse of Hatred deepens, others remark how much stronger, darker, and more sinister his chakra becomes.

His reserves are also quite large, enough to use Chidori twice a day during Part I without aid. By Part II, Sasuke is able to use Chidori and related techniques multiple times in a single day, as well as summon creatures as large as Manda. His chakra control, though less refined than Sakura Haruno 's, is nevertheless very high.

In the anime, he could effectively perform hand seals between his own and an enemy's hand. In adulthood, after losing one of his arms, he learned to use one-handed hand seals.

While not an actual sensor himself, therefore unable to detect or track targets by their chakra, during his final battle against Naruto, he sensed Naruto's build-up of chakra and natural energy from Kurama. Also, in sharing half of Hagoromo's power with Naruto, he is also able to sense Naruto's chakra from a different dimension.

However, Sasuke has not shown the ability to sense anyone else's chakra as he can with Naruto. Sasuke is very capable in taijutsu , enough to hold his own in hand-to-hand combat against multiple opponents at once. His most consistent physical display is his speed, and by extension his reaction time: Haku remarks on how impressive Sasuke is in both regards during their battle. After re-awakening his Sharingan , Sasuke concentrates on honing his speed and reflexes so that he can react to the Sharingan's heightened visual information, which he accomplishes by imitating Rock Lee's movements.

His speed is even shown able to match, if not exceed various other fast techniques like Shield of Sand or Lightning Release Chakra Mode respectively, and enough to physically incapacitate opponents before they realize he's even approached them. Between his increased speed and taijutsu prowess, it becomes very difficult for his opponents to find enough time to perform even a single hand seal. Sakura, after re-encountering Sasuke for the first time in Part II, finds the improvement to his abilities unnaturally high and hypothesizes that he was given drugs by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is known to have experimented on Sasuke, enough to make him immune to poisons, but it's not known what other modifications he may have received. He acquires some of Orochimaru's attributes after absorbing him, such as additional chakra reserves, a faster healing rate, and the ability to shed his body, all of which are lost when Orochimaru is removed from him.

He later receives half of Hagoromo's power, which he evidently is able to keep. When active, the cursed seal saps Sasuke's own chakra and replaces it with a larger amount of Orochimaru's, in turn increasing his strength and speed.

Though useful, Sasuke's early uses of the cursed seal are often involuntary, painful while active, and leave him briefly unable to move afterward. These shortcomings are either minimized or eliminated once he becomes able to enter the cursed seal's second state: a transformation that turns his skin grey, lengthens his hair, and causes him to develop wings.

The transformation's boosts to his physical parameters are similar to a jinchuriki's version 1 forms, which by Part II he can isolate to parts of his body. Itachi removes the cursed seal from Sasuke's body during Part II, preventing him from using it again. Sasuke learns to summon snakes during his time with Orochimaru. He typically summons them as shields, rapid ground transportation, or to targets. Unseen outside of the Animal Path, Sasuke can also summon a second animal species: hawks.

His use of hawks is more limited than snakes, using them only for flight and the additional maneuverability that allows. By adulthood, Sasuke is able to use the Shadow Clone Technique, able to easily produce eight clones at once. By Part II, Sasuke became a highly skilled user of kenjutsu and acquired a chokuto, which become a major part of his fighting style.

Later on he names his sword as the "Sword of Kusanagi". His skill could defeat hundreds of Oto-nin unscathed without killing them, as well as kill multiple samurai, even deflecting their barrage of chakra blasts.

Sasuke's swordsmanship was even acknowledged by Mifune, a famous sword master after he effectively blocked the samurai's attack. His lethal swordsmanship is very versatile, using impressive speed and precision behind his attacks to leave little time for enemies to react. He can effectively wield it in either hand using a normal or reverse grip, giving him various attack and defense styles to use.

He can use his blade as a mid-range projectile with great precision. By adulthood, Sasuke becomes skilled enough to instantly switch between wielding his sword backhanded and normally even during a clash. As an Uchiha, Sasuke is trained with a variety of different ninja tools. When he was a child, he once used inexpertly a bow and arrow to hunt a boar with Itachi, a practice that later becomes useful for his Susanoo.

His area of expertise is in shurikenjutsu, allowing him to throw shuriken and kunai with precision; for complicated or moving targets, Sasuke can guide shuriken to their mark using either wire strings or deflecting them off each other. Though his throwing speed is faster than most, it doesn't compare to Itachi, prompting him to devise the Lightning Flash Blade Creation: by sealing shuriken and kunai into his arm bracelets, Sasuke can always have a large supply ready, allowing him to barrage targets in an instant.

Sasuke begins using a sword after training with Orochimaru, wielding it just as skillfully in either hand. He uses what he calls his "Sword of Kusanagi" regularly throughout Part II, often to cut down multiple opponents in a short period of time. He uses it defensively as well, blocking incoming attacks or holding off skilled swordsmen; Mifune, a samurai, praises Sasuke's swordsmanship. Sasuke is also well-versed in the usage of kunai and shuriken, showing tremendous aim while still in the Academy.

Tactically, he can use techniques like hiding a second shuriken in the shadow of the first and control the path of them using wire strings to ensnare an opponent with the strings.

Sasuke's aim and tactical skills are almost on par with Itachi, able to effectively hit targets in a blind spot by accurately deflecting one kunai off another. Since his battle with Itachi in Part II, he wears a pair of bracelets with a special seal to instantly summon shuriken and kunai of various sizes and shapes, becoming able to unleash a large barrage at a blazing speed that rivals that of his brother's. After launching, he can perform a sneak attack by rigging the blades to disconnect and launch them into separate directions.

Sasuke can also enhance the cutting power of his weapons by infusing them with his lightning chakra. Sasuke can use all five basic nature transformations, as well as Yin Release; two of which he could utilize at the age of As an Uchiha, he has a natural affinity for Fire Release , mastering the clan's Great Fireball Technique years before becoming a genin, a feat which greatly shocked Kakashi.

Sasuke can also coat fire around his shuriken, guide his flames along wire strings, or create a succession of dragon-shaped fireballs. His Fire Release-prowess is shown strong enough to easily disperse most Water Release techniques.

Sasuke's other natural affinity is Lightning Release , then he learns from Kakashi. While effective at piercing most targets, the standard Chidori is a very close-range attack. For this reason, Sasuke uses the principles of Chidori to create several long-range jutsu in Part II, such as throwable needles, extendable swords, and scattershot streams.

He often channels his lightning chakra into his Sword of Kusanagi to increase its cutting power. When using his cursed seal or the Six Paths Chakra, his lightning chakra becomes darker in color, though it's not clear if this changes its actual properties in any way.

Sasuke first awakened his Sharingan on the night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, though he isn't able to do so again until several years later, at the start of Part I.

Sasuke's Sharingan is especially potent, as Orochimaru noted that despite not being fully developed at the time, it was even stronger and greater in clarity than Itachi's. With the Sharingan, Sasuke can see the flow of chakra, accurately reproduce any movement he sees his own physical skill permitting , track fast-moving objects, and, by the end of Part I, predict opponents' movement to a degree.

He can also use Genjutsu: Sharingan for broad purposes such as distraction, interrogation, knocking targets out, or placing them under his control.

He can use his Sharingan to relay information to others or enter their subconscious, which in the case of jinchuriki allows him to suppress their tailed beasts. Its design gives the appearance of three intersecting ellipses. Before, he was quick to exhaust himself both physically and chakra-wise when he would overuse his power. After acquiring it, he was able to repeatedly use its powers against Kabuto, Obito, Madara, and Kaguya with no signs of exhaustion.

This ability to manipulate his Amaterasu makes him more skilled than Itachi was with his own. It takes repeated uses before he's able to fully form Susanoo. Its evolutions are often marked by moments of intense hatred. Initially, Sasuke can only create Susanoo's skeletal features, such as ribs for defense or arms to interact with his surroundings. He is steadily able to layer musculature and skin over the bones, and later armor to increase its defenses. Upon receiving the Rinnegan, with its supreme ocular power, he is able to create the significantly larger Complete Body — Susanoo, comparable in power to Tailed Beast Mode.

Like all Susanoo, Sasuke's has several swords at its disposal that it can use against larger targets or to easily destroy nearby structures. More commonly, his Susanoo employs a bow that can fire arrows at rapid speeds and that can, when needed, double as a shield.

Though most of these arrows are made of the same chakra as Susanoo itself, Sasuke can also fashion arrows made from Amaterasu's flames or, by channeling the tailed beasts' chakra, lightning; Sasuke calls the latter Indra's Arrow, his strongest attack.

Susanoo can also be formed around the Nine-Tails in order to give it a sword and armor of its own and serve as a medium for his various techniques like Chidori. Unlike Hagoromo's, his Rinnegan has a second state that has six tomoe around the eye, representing its full power. When drained of its power, Sasuke's Rinnegan cannot access this state for an extended period of time, until after its restoration, likewise affecting his Mangekyo Sharingan.

As a true wielder, Sasuke can deactivate his Rinnegan at will, though, this was only after two years of mastering it. As a result, using the Rinnegan repeatedly seems to require Sasuke to close his eye to recharge or at least speed it up , although it doesn't seem to exhaust him due to his massive reserves. Over-usage will begin straining him, as seen in his final battle with Naruto and it had to keep it closed for the remainder of the battle.

Though his Rinnegan manifested only in one eye, its power is still on par with its dual variant. With the Rinnegan, Sasuke gains the ability to touch Madara's Chakra Disruption Blades without suffering the after-effects, as well as see invisible targets.

Black Zetsu also alluded that Sasuke's Rinnegan may be the reason for why he was able to resist the influence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and why its light could not penetrate through his Susanoo. Furthermore, the Rinnegan also makes Sasuke the only one able to detect traces of Kaguya's chakra. Sasuke's Rinnegan can still access his left Sharingan's powers, such as Amaterasu and Susanoo, and cast genjutsu strong enough to control all nine tailed beasts at once.

Uniquely, he has also gained the ability to transport himself or any target near him within a limited range. He can use it to see invisible targets. Once fully mastered, Sasuke became able to teleport much greater distances and even between separate dimensions, but only a fixed number of times before needing to recharge, during which he can once again only teleport in small distances.

This is noticed when his Rinnegan had lost its six tomoe. After further adjusting to Hagoromo's dojutsu, Sasuke can wield the powers of the Six Paths Technique. Sasuke Uchiha is one of the main characters in Naruto and he's among the fan favorites. Sasuke is the sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan massacre which is one of the worst things to happen in the series. It was orchestrated by Danzo and his Root. Sasuke was spared by Itachi who couldn't bring himself to kill his little brother.

Sasuke played a major role in the series, especially during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Without his efforts, Kaguya could not have been sealed, which would have led to the world falling into chaos.

After Naruto ended, a lot of things changed. Many fans might not know that Sasuke underwent some changes. Sasuke never seemed the type who would settle down and start a family, but he actually did it. Sasuke and Sakura got married and they had a daughter. It is fair to say that Sakura's dividends paid off as she finally married the man she loved.

Sasuke didn't meet his daughter for several years and their first meeting wasn't exactly what either of them would have wished for. Sasuke didn't recognize his daughter and almost attacked her.

Both of them received major power-ups in the war which enabled them to take down Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki. Hagoromo shared his powers with Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke managed to awaken the Rinnegan in his left eye, which is the strongest dojutsu in the series.

It took a while for Sasuke to learn about his power. It wasn't until the series ended that Sasuke managed to gain full control over his Rinnegan. Every Naruto fan knows for a fact that Sasuke gained the ability to use Amenotejikara which is among the strongest Rinnegan techniques during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Once the war was over, Sasuke had the opportunity to learn more about his Rinnegan. Soon he found out that his Rinnegan granted him the ability to travel through dimensions.

At the beginning of Boruto , it looks like Sasuke's life hasn't changed that much. He is still traveling, and he is still spending long stints of time away from the village. To some degree, he might still believe he is on a mission to redeem himself. In The Last , Naruto has to go on a mission to stop Toneri. Hinata's little sister was kidnapped by a great threat.

The village forms a team to go save her. While Naruto is away, Sasuke returns to the village. An effect of Toneri's plans made meteors rain down from the direction of the moon. Sasuke destroys the meteors before they can cause any damage to his home.

This brief scene highlights Sasuke's mission during the interim between Shippuden and Boruto. Sasuke saves his village. Sasuke took his journey of redemption seriously. So seriously that he neglected to make an appearance at his best friend's wedding. After everything Naruto had done for him over the years, it seems odd that he would miss such an important moment.

He did send a message to his friend. A message of congratulations. While many believe this message is intended for Naruto and Hinata , that may not be the case. The wedding coincides with Sakura's birthday. The note may have been intended for Sakura's birthday. Sasuke could have intended to congratulate all three of them.

While Sasuke is on his journey, he comes across a young boy who mistakes him for Itachi. The boy had gotten a chance to get to know Itachi, after Itachi left the village. Sasuke got a chance to hear about his brother through the eyes of the young boy. The boy speaks fondly of Itachi, calling him a good person.

Sasuke is able to agree with the boy's assessment of his brother. It gives Sasuke a chance to get some insight into who Itachi was. Someone starts spreading a rumor that Sasuke is planning on destroying Konoha.
