Sasuke Uchiha

is the deuteragonist of the manga/anime series and a major character in its sequel series . He is the best friend and rival of the titular protagonist Naruto Uzumaki and later becomes a mentor of his son, Boruto Uzumaki. 
While remaining as the overall deuteragonist in the series, he becomes an anti-villain starting in the final arc of Part I and continuing until the end of Part II, when he redeems himself following his defeat by the hands of Naruto. 
Sasuke is the son of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha, and the younger brother of Itachi Uchiha, whose massacre of his clan leads him down a path of vengeance. He is a member of Team 7, alongside Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and their leader and former mentor, Kakashi Hatake.

After Naruto and Hinata got sealed in the Daikokuten by Kawaki and Ada's Omnipotence struck the Shinobi World, Sasuke protects his student Boruto Uzumaki, who was framed of a crime he didn't commit, and helps him get stronger as a way to help Boruto get his life back and stop Kawaki, before he sacrificed himself to protect Boruto from Code and his Claw Mark clone army.
He is voiced by in the Japanese version of the anime, and by in the English version. The latter also voiced teen Ben Tennyson in Ben 10, Sun Ce in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, Simon in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Marth in Fire Emblem, and Spider-Man from the Insomniac universe.
== Background ==
Sasuke was born on July 23 to Fugaku and Mikoto, he had an older brother named Itachi, who was older than him by 4-5 years.
He is also the second born of the chief of the Konoha Military Police Force Fugaku Uchiha, and his wife Mikoto Uchiha, members of the Uchiha clan, who founded the Hidden Leaf Village alongside the Senju clan generations ago.
He was named after the father of the Third Hokage, as his mother hoped he would grow up to be a fine wonderful shinobi like his namesake.
While he was only a newborn, Sasuke was in the care of his older brother Itachi Uchiha as they saw the attack of the village by Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox, only with Sasuke sensing the demon's evil chakra which frightened him. That event, due to the fact that only a Uchiha could control the Tailed Beast, ultimately led to their clan losing complete standing.
thumb|Sasuke and his familyAs a child and unaware of the events that revolved on his clan, Sasuke was more focused on becoming like Itachi, who had their father's favor, and trained to become strong. However, when Itachi began to distance himself from the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke found himself getting Fugaku's attention as he taught Sasuke their clan's Fireball Jutsu which the boy spend days to master before being told not to follow in Itachi's footsteps.
One evening, coming home from practicing his ninjutsu, shrugging off the feeling that someone was watching him, Sasuke found the area surrounding his home littered with dead bodies of Uchiha Clan members. Frightened and confused, Sasuke ran to his home to find his parents killed by Itachi's hand. Freaking out as he yells at Itachi at what he was doing, Sasuke finds his left shoulder wounded as he is subjected to Itachi's Tsukuyomi playing the slaughter Itachi committing. Itachi then tells Sasuke that he spared him because he is weak, telling his brother of obtain the Sharingan in Mangekyo form and live a life of hatred before facing him again. As Itachi leaves, giving him the location of their clan's vital documents, enraged Sasuke caused his Sharingan to manifest as he attempts to kill his brother. However, Itachi overpowered Sasuke and he ended up in a coma for a few days. 
With the events hazy, due to his brother's genjutsu, Sasuke had no memory of obtaining the Sharingan. After mourning over his clan's death and discovering the secret documents on the stone tablets, Sasuke swore to avenge his clan and kill Itachi by any means. Since then, Sasuke has become a loner and kept to himself most of the time. While attending the Ninja Academy a few years later, Sasuke encountered a similar social misfit, Naruto Uzumaki. Since that meeting, Naruto recognized the festering darkness in Sasuke's eyes and the two had become destined rivals.
==Personality==
When he was a child, Sasuke was very kind, gentle, respectful, and loving towards his parents and older brother and respectful to his fellow clansmen as well as his teachers. He was even very proud of being Itachi's younger brother and the youngest son Fugaku and Mikoto — famous for being devoted protectors of Konoha, and he desired to emulate them. His original dream was to join the Konoha Military Police Force when he grew up, like his father and as such greatly sought his father's approval and acknowledgement of his abilities. After Itachi massacred the clan, Sasuke's ideals and personality changed drastically due to him suffering his clan's curse and became cold, indifferent, cruel, cynical, callous, somewhat arrogant, unreasonable and devoted the next nine years of his life to kill Itachi.
When he is first introduced to Team Kakashi, Sasuke displayed great indifference to his team-mates as well as others. Feeling superior to all of them, including his teacher, Sasuke was unwilling to cooperate with any of his team-mates, as he felt they would provide him no aid in furthering his ambition to kill his brother; this attitude affected his grades in the Academy after losing his clan, he had the lowest score in cooperation and second lowest in assertiveness. However over time, as he interacted more with his team mates on a day-to-day basis, he began to see them as somewhat of a family and Sasuke started to lose some of his hatred, caring more about his team than his revenge. Sasuke even admitted to Naruto that he almost thought that he must forget about his revenge and instead focus on Team 7. However, Orochimaru branded Sasuke with the Cursed Seal of Heaven during the Chūnin Exams to help push him back into his desire for vengeance and to give him a taste of power. Although Kakashi Hatake sealed away the cursed seal, and taught him the Chidori in the hopes of deviating him from the path of revenge, Sasuke began to draw more power from the seal in the hopes of getting stronger. This caused his previous ambition to be renewed while causing him to disregard camaraderie once again. According to Kakashi, Sasuke has both a superiority and an inferiority complex, as he is unwilling to acknowledge when someone is stronger than him, but obsesses when he believes that they are. For example, he was complacent with his rivalry with Naruto when he believed he was the stronger of the two, but upon noticing Naruto's fast growth, showcased in his victory over Sunagakure's jinchūriki, Gaara, who had previously beaten Sasuke, and his own quick defeat by Itachi on his return to Konoha, all culminated in his defection to Otogakure to seek power from Orochimaru.
In Part II, Sasuke became increasingly confident in his newfound abilities. Constantly, he remained composed and unconcerned with the situation at hand. Even when pressured by enemies like Orochimaru or Deidara, he showed no emotional build up; ironically, acting much like his older brother and only getting worked up when it involved Itachi. Despite getting stronger, Sasuke seemed unwilling to needlessly kill in his quest for revenge displaying that he still had some morals Sasuke, however, retained his habit of underestimating his opponents, shown in his overconfidence in his battles. Sasuke has displayed an overbearing sense of pride in his clan's name and a great sense of loyalty to it and kept wearing his clan's crest on his back proudly while refusing to wear any other symbols such as a forehead protector. Despite claiming earlier that he did not care if he had to sacrifice his own body to Orochimaru as long as it served his quest for revenge when Sasuke felt he had grown stronger than Orochimaru he thought that to give himself up to someone weaker than himself was insulting to the Uchiha. However, despite his disrespect of Orochimaru as a person, Sasuke does have great respect for his power, going so far as to reprimand Suigetsu when he felt the latter was underestimating Orochimaru's capabilities. He also views anyone outside of the clan wielding its dōjutsu as an insult, as the eye is representative of the Uchiha clan's powers, showing disgust towards Danzō Shimura who had ten Sharingan embedded in his arm, and an eleventh one in his right eye socket and stated that Kakashi should feel grateful to the Uchiha for the power of his Mangekyō Sharingan. According to Tobi, Sasuke alone is shouldering the entire hatred of the Uchiha clan — an ideal which has been passed down for generations within the clan. After his battle with Itachi, which concluded in the latter's death, the revelation that he had actually been ordered by the Konoha Elders to eradicate the clan coupled with the new knowledge that Itachi had truly loved him, Sasuke vowed to kill the elders for using his brother and ordering him to massacre the Uchiha clan. After he confirmed the truth and became even more induced by his clan's hatred, Sasuke quickly grew to loathe the village that he once called home and vowed to destroy it, thus separating any connection it had to the Uchiha clan and purify the clan's name and pride in the process. He, however, when returning to discover the truth, still felt some connection to his birthplace.
Initially, Sasuke still held onto the notion of sparing the innocent and refused to kill anyone unrelated to his revenge. However as his hatred overcame him, he became cold and ruthless, to the point where he was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way and he would kill innocent people of Konoha if it meant achieving his revenge against the village. In his thirst for vengeance, Sasuke put himself far above anyone or anything around him; willingly cooperating with Tobi, whom he knew helped Itachi wipe out his clan, to aid him in destroying Konoha, abandoning his team when they were no longer useful to him. This is seen when he abandoned Suigetsu and Jugo during the battle at the Kage Summit and when he tried to kill Karin in order to dispose of Danzo. When Sakura Haruno confessed her love to him, Sasuke, while caring deeply for Sakura, declined to reciprocate her feelings out of making revenge as his priority, though before he left the village, he gave Sakura a genuine thank you. But would later, he would show extreme indifference towards her and tried to kill her twice after realizing she meant to do the same to him to stop him. Despite his arrogance and brutality, Sasuke is not above giving praise (albeit in a grudging, if not sarcastic, way) to his enemies as he commended Gaara for the strength and speed of his absolute defense and admitted that Kakashi was very skilled at using the Sharingan for someone who wasn't an Uchiha. After expressing a feeling of exhilaration that he had never before felt upon killing Danzō and even declaring that he sees that killing the members of Konoha as a high priority and satisfaction, most of Sasuke's former comrades completely lost all hope for him. Upon receiving his "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan", Sasuke's cruelty seemingly reached a new level when he killed White Zetsu simply to test out his new powers. Due to being further overwhelmed by his clan's curse, he has also grown to show great homicidal rage whenever someone mentions Itachi in a negative way, even if it's indirect and remote as shown when Kakashi tries to make him understand that there's more to his life than just his clan and his love for blood-soaked loathing only to angrily reply by saying that he wants to hear their screams and moans for laughing at Itachi's sacrifice, crushing Danzō with his Susanoo for speaking ill of his brother and ready to murder a team of ignorant Konoha shinobi for doing the same. Sasuke's inherited Uchiha hatred has also twisted any of his potentially happy memories of Konoha into negative ones in order to fuel his vengeance.
During the second day of the Fourth Shinobi World War, upon reuniting with a reincarnated Itachi, Sasuke showed a somewhat more vulnerable side to himself instead of his usual coldness. This showed just how confused and torn up he is over Itachi's decision, telling his brother that he did not understand why he was spared during the massacre and apparently implying that he would have rather died as a child than have had to deal with the grief and suffering that followed. Having to live through many lies Itachi set for him, Sasuke wanted to hear the truth from Itachi himself. While Sasuke claimed the reunion with Itachi only intensified his hatred towards Konoha, he began to question if revenge is the purpose for his life. Despite this, he was willing to forgive Itachi but no the village and he still wanted to destroy it, even though he knew it was against Itachi's wishes. when Itachi gave Sasuke his parting words, Sasuke began to wonder what it means to be a shinobi and why Itachi would lose everything for the village and his brother. His desire to find the answer led him to revive Orochimaru, who noted how much Sasuke has changed from how he was when being manipulated by Itachi, Tobi, and himself. Orochimaru agreed to reanimate the previous Hokage so he can listen to their stories and allow Sasuke to be his own person without being manipulated for the first time in his life. After getting his answers, Sasuke accepted Itachi's actions and decided to protect Konoha, but he would do so in his own ways. Believing the previous Hokage to be responsible to the world's current problems, he vowed to change the world by becoming Hokage, seemingly breaking free from his Curse of Hatred. While these intentions were noble, many of his former comrades were angry at him for returning and didn't trust him. Regardless, Sasuke fought with the sole intention of defeating Obito, Madara, the Ten-Tails, and Kaguya, though his reasons were largely unknown. Sasuke was one of the few shinobi to not lose his resolve, even chastising Naruto for almost doing so. However, Sasuke was angered by Naruto's new powers, as he always believed he was stronger than Naruto and had more advantages due to his lineage. Regardless, Sasuke's devotion to his cause remained unchanged, to the point where he was willing to abandon Sakura and Kakashi during the casting of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, only saving them because they happened to be near Naruto. 
After defeating Kaguya, Sasuke revealed his plans: make himself the villain for the world to focus their hatred on and give them a reason to remain united. To accomplish this, he planned to kill the current five Kage to get the five nations to focus their hatred on him rather than one another and to kill the tailed beasts to prevent further fighting over their immense powers. Realizing this would require him to cut all ties to the past and Naruto would never stop chasing after him, he resolved to kill his best and only friend. Having come to accept Itachi's efforts to protect the village while branded as a criminal, Sasuke believed that to unify the world, one must be willing to bear the hatred all around him and stand separated from the rest of the world, viewing that as the correct definition as Hokage. Growing arrogant of his acquired powers, Sasuke believed he was the strongest person alive and his power would grant him immortality to continue his goal for eternity. After his final battle with Naruto, Sasuke was shocked by the lengths Naruto would go for him. He revealed he had always been jealous of Naruto for the fact that despite being so similar, Naruto turned loneliness into strength by forming bonds, while Sasuke pushed those bonds away, thinking of them as a weakness, and subjected himself to training and solitude. In the process, Sasuke found himself following behind Naruto as he did with Itachi. Moved to tears by Naruto's determination to be there for him as a friend, Sasuke acknowledged Naruto's friendship and admitted defeat, ultimately overcoming his Curse of Hatred. He showed remorse for his actions. He later showed genuine affection towards Sakura, as he had realized that he had fallen in love with her. He apologized to her about everything that he did and before he left to explore the world and seek redemption for himself, he even poked her on the forehead like Itachi used to with him. This mutual affection with Sakura led to the two of them getting married and having a daughter named Sarada.
As an adult, Sasuke has matured by becoming more polite and friendly with his friends and comrades, but he retains his habit of not acknowledging certain people and making insults, albeit more comically than coldly. After becoming a father, Sasuke became very caring and protective towards his family and, despite being apart from them for many years, he feels a deep connection to them. Sasuke is still capable of being indifferent if it is necessary, including towards his own daughter, who doubted her father cared about her. However, Sasuke loves his daughter dearly, as he puts her safety above his own and he showed Sarada how much he loved her and promised to come home, proving himself as a loving father. Sasuke also acknowledges his mistakes as a father and is willing to apologize for them. He also holds a high opinion of Sakura; despite her being kidnapped, Sasuke stated his confidence she will probably have finished Shin off by the time they found her and he criticized Orochimaru for calling her weak. 
==Abilities ==
Sasuke is hailed as a brilliant ninja, even by the battle-adept Uchiha clan's standards, showing an undeniable prodigious talent and keen intellect to excel at all that he does from early childhood. From this, he finds little difficulty in more challenging tasks since his time in the Academy. Scoring the highest in the performance tests and one of the highest in written tests, he easily graduated at the top of his Academy class. Sasuke has great knowledge if not proficiency in many of his clan's techniques, despite his lack of formal training by relying solely on his innate talent and determination. His abilities have been compared to various remarkable individuals like Kakashi Hatake, who was also hailed as a genius since childhood. Various powerful shinobi have commented on Sasuke's potential, stating that he can with time surpass the likes of Itachi, Nagato and even Madara Uchiha. Orochimaru, who was recognised as the genius of his generation, also noted that Sasuke is far stronger than he was at the same age when he was training Sasuke in Part II.
Even while just a genin, with his training as a member of Team 7, Sasuke's skills established himself as the second best shinobi in the squad, under Kakashi while easily surpassing both Naruto and Sakura, furthering Naruto's envy and Sakura's admiration, and he would steadily develop his abilities to hold his own against the likes of Haku, Orochimaru, and Gaara; he earned the praise of the former two and had the upper hand over Gaara when he wasn't tapping on Shukaku's power and still stood up to him afterwards, causing Gaara to maniacally deem Sasuke as a worthy foe. However, Naruto's development considerably closed the gap between them, as even Sasuke became envious and had trouble defeating him; it was even indicated that Naruto had held back during their fight and lost because of that.
By the time of Part II, Sasuke's prowess had vastly exceeded the combined might of the new Team 7, easily overpowering them in their initial fight, and proved enough to fight Akatsuki members, as he defeated Deidara and was able to match the weakened Itachi and even came close to victory, but his abilities at this point were still not equal to his older brother, as Tobi noted that Itachi had held back and could have killed Sasuke despite his disease. Nevertheless, Itachi openly acknowledged Sasuke's increased strength. After awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan (despite not being fully healed from battling Itachi), Sasuke proved able to stand against Killer B, a jinchūriki and extremely powerful ninja, who praised Sasuke as one of the strongest ninja he has ever faced. After fully healing and adjusting to his Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke proved able to hold his own against at least two Kage, their respective bodyguards, earning praise from them all, and easily kill various samurai warriors. He also fought on even grounds with Danzō, another Kage-level opponent, and ultimately defeated him despite the elder's repeated use of Izanagi — a feat that later earned him praise from Itachi. By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, with his new Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke was able to match his older brother in various fields of combat, able to work well with him against Kabuto, who had greatly modified his body and gained numerous abilities, and additionally Sasuke would also effectively coordinate with Naruto's mastery of the. After receiving Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's power and awakening the Rinnegan, Sasuke, like Naruto Uzumaki was able to overpower the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki Madara with ease forcing the latter to both absorb the Shinju and to retrieve his other Rinnegan and along with the rest of Team 7, ultimately defeat Kaguya. Although Sasuke admitted defeat to Naruto, their fight had technically ended in a standstill. Despite losing his hand, Sasuke's abilities remained more than enough to single-handedly defeat without effort any threat he faced as a wanderer.
By the time of Boruto's era, Sasuke, despite not having his hand restored, had still greatly increased his might to be universally deemed the strongest shinobi just like Naruto as the Seventh Hokage as his only equal. Alongside Naruto, he overpowered the empowered Momoshiki and despite being defeated, pushed Jigen to his limits enough that he had to rest for 2 days. Sasuke also single-handedly fought on par with Kinshiki, whereas it took 2 Kage to fight him.
===Taijutsu===
Sasuke's taijutsu was at a very high level since the start of the series, able to shock Kakashi, a famous jōnin, during his bell test by forcing Kakashi to use both hands, and outmanoeuvre two chūnin-level Kirigakure missing-nin. Following his encounter with Rock Lee, Sasuke's skills improved drastically. Having used his Sharingan to copy several of Lee's Shadow of the Dancing Leaf, Sasuke began creating his own manoeuvres. Under Kakashi's tutelage for the Chūnin Exams, he refined more of Lee's Strong Fist-style to roughly matching Lee's combat skills and speed in one month. With this, he overwhelmed Gaara during their initial fight. By the end of Part I, he could hold his own against the entire Sound Four and later dominate Naruto in their battle for most of the fight even when Naruto started using Kurama's chakra. In Part II, Sasuke further improved his taijutsu under Orochimaru's guidance, able to hold his own in a taijustu fight against the likes Itachi and Kakashi, despite his physical debilitation against the latter.
Since being a recent academy graduate, Sasuke showed a high level of speed and reflexes, being the first of his fellow genin to react to the Demon Brothers' ambush. After improving in chakra control, his speed was on a just outpace Haku. He later increased his speed further to outrun Gaara's sand and move faster than unaided eyes could follow in Part I. In Part II, Sasuke's speed saw a huge leap, able to cover wide gaps in the blink of when first facing Team Kakashi in Part II, giving his former allies no time to react. He was later able to evade both Deidara's clay explosions at point-blank range on multiple occasions, and attacks from the extremely fast Killer B and A, though he credited the last to his Sharingan's ability to read their linear moves. He also greatly increased his hand speed, able to do many hand seals in a blur and launch weapon strikes just as quickly, as seen during his fight with Itachi. His speed and proficiency with the Body Flicker Technique have also grown considerably, able to easily cut his opponents down without them noticing. Upon awakening his Rinnegan and meeting Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and gaining half his power, Sasuke was able to overwhelm and outpace Madara Uchiha despite him being the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, a feat which Madara praised him for.
Sasuke has shown a high level of stamina and endurance, able to endure a consistent string of battles against the samurai, two Kage and their bodyguards before finally collapsing from exhaustion. In a near-blind, battered, and visibly exhausted state from his latter fight with Danzō and overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan, he still had enough stamina to fight against Kakashi, restrain and disarm Sakura and later match Naruto's Rasengan with his Chidori. His raw strength has also become noticeably greater, being able to lift Sakura by her throat into the air with a single hand even while exhausted. By adulthood, Sasuke's overall strength and speed along with taijutsu skills had vastly improved to the extent where he could perform synchronized attacks with Naruto enhanced by Six Paths Sage Mode, overpowering Momoshiki despite his empowerment. His endurance had also grew considerably, as even in a weakened state, Sasuke was able to resist Urashiki's attacks and catch Urashiki off-guard and tackle them both off a cliff despite Urashiki's open resistance, surviving the fall, and despite
=== Cursed Seal===
A noticeable aspect of Sasuke's growth was his acquisition of the Cursed Seal of Heaven. Orochimaru, recognising his potential, bestowed the seal on him to grant him greater strength, and to entice him to seek Orochimaru for further power. When activated, the cursed seal forcefully absorbed Sasuke's chakra, replacing it with Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra which covered his body with a flame-like pattern and granted him enhanced chakra capacity, as well as increased strength, speed, and endurance. Initially, the seal would activate and overwhelm Sasuke if he used his chakra or became too excited, and he was only able to control it with extreme force of will. After defecting from Konoha, the Sound Four advanced Sasuke's Cursed Seal to Level Two, allowing Sasuke to control and unleash its activation at will. When fully transformed, the second level of the cursed seal turned Sasuke's skin dark grey with a black four-point star-mark between his eyes and across the bridge of his nose, his sclerae turn black, his irides turn yellow (except when using his Sharingan), and his lips turn blue. He also grows claw-like nails and his hair grows to waist-length. At any time, he is able to grow large webbed hand-shaped wings on his back that gave him the ability to fly. This granted him power comparable to Naruto's one-tailed form, granting him further enhanced physical attributes and enhanced his techniques.
However, the seal had disadvantages. Prolonged periods of time would corrode Sasuke's body and caused him some pain. The presence of Orochimaru's chakra also twisted and darkened Sasuke's personality, making him more ruthless and violent in battle, and making him more susceptible to Orochimaru's influence. However with additional training, Sasuke greatly extended the time he could maintain his cursed seal active. In Part II, Sasuke gained complete control and mastery over the cursed seal, and could even access its power without fully activating it and even perform partial transformations at will. Since Itachi sealed Orochimaru, the seal was removed from Sasuke. Despite this, Sasuke's being still proved compatible with the cursed seal's source, Jūgo. Since allying himself with Jūgo, Sasuke has benefited from Jūgo's power via taking advantage of the senjutsu imbued healing by infusing some of Jūgo's flesh into his own. Alternatively, Sasuke himself can be imbued with some of Jūgo's chakra to augment the Uchiha's various techniques, like his Susanoo, producing a "Senjutsu Susanoo".
===Ninjutsu===
====Bukijutsu ====
Since early childhood, Sasuke has displayed great skill and use of various ninja tools which has grown and diversified over time. Sasuke was trained in archery during his childhood. He is also skilled in the use of wire strings, using them for a variety of purposes ranging from rappelling, to manipulating the path of his shurikens, to ensnaring an opponent and setting them on fire. His level with both trap and weapon-based tactics even surprised Kakashi during their first bell test. During the second stage of the Chūnin Exams, Sasuke displayed the ability to infuse his kunai with chakra.
====Kenjutsu====
During his training with Orochimaru, Sasuke became a skilled user of kenjutsu and acquired a Sword of Kusanagi, which become a major part of his fighting style. His skill was able to defeat hundreds of Oto-nin unscathed and without killing them. His skills were better shown during the Kage Summit, as he effortlessly killed multiple samurai, even deflect their barrage of chakra blasts, and skillfully blocked an attack from Mifune, a famous master swordsman, who acknowledged Sasuke's swordsmanship. Sasuke's lethal swordsmanship is shown to be very versatile, using impressive speed and precision behind his attacks, leaving little time for enemies to react. He can effectively use it in either a normal or reverse grip, giving him various attack styles and able to attack or defend from various angles, letting him easily change his attack type to suit the situation. He can use his blade as a mid-range projectile with great precision as seen during the battle against Kabuto. Sasuke is also able to adapt his swordsmanship with equal proficiency into his element-related techniques, including a makeshift Chidori blade or flexible sword made from his Blaze Release. As an adult, Sasuke's skills had only grew greatly, able to fight on par with Kinshiki Otsutsuki single-handedly using his sword, whereas Chojuro, another extremely skilled swordsmen, was only able to combat him with aid from Kurotsuchi, and despite being weakened, he was able to clash briefly with Urashiki using the weapon even in his empowered state. He can also instantly switch between wielding his sword backhanded and normally even inbetween a clashs, later he was able to slash Code's left eye, despite his power limiters being removed.
====Shurikenjutsu====
Sasuke is also well-versed in weapons use such as kunai and shuriken, showing tremendous aim while still in the academy. Tactics-wise, he can use techniques like hiding a second shuriken in the shadow of the first and control the path of them using wire strings. With his Sharingan, he can use an advanced version of the latter technique to control a larger number of shuriken at once and even use them to ensnare an opponent with the strings. Sasuke's aim and tactical skills are almost on par with Itachi, also able to effectively hit targets in a blind-spot by accurately deflecting one kunai off another to ensure they strike their mark. Since his battle with Itachi in Part II, Sasuke started using a pair of bracelets with a special seal to instantly summon shuriken and kunai of various size and shape, thus increasing the amount he carries at any one time and launch speed, able to launch an enormous amount of weapons at blazing speed. He has also demonstrated the ability to increase the lethal properties of shuriken by rigging the blades to disconnect and launch them into separate directions. Sasuke can also use his nature transformation to infuse his fire chakra and lightning chakra into his shuriken to increase their power and set up a hidden attack.
====Summoning Techniques====
Sasuke is one of the rare individuals to have a dual summoning contract with two species: snakes and hawks. Its so far unknown which contract he received first, though he was able to get the snake summoning contract during his training with Orochimaru. He became able to summon various-sized snakes to aid him in battle, even hidden from his sleeves to strike or bind his opponents with little time to react. He was also able to summon snakes from any part of his body. He can also summons Aoda, a giant snake to aid him in his fight to quickly carry him through the terrain.
Some time later, Sasuke also made an additional summoning contract which allows him to summon hawks. Once summoned, it can help Sasuke fly about and outmanoeuvre his opponent's attacks. In the anime, the hawk was also of capable of performing coordinated attacks with Sasuke.
====Nature Transformation====
As a recognised member of the Uchiha, Sasuke has great proficiency in Fire Release nature manipulation. A true genius, he already mastered his clan's rite of passage technique, the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique by age 7. Even Kakashi was amazed at such a feat as, according to him, genin usually require much more experience and developed chakra to perform elemental techniques. He can also use his fire techniques in conjunction with his weapon skills. He can also produce a barrage giant dragon-shaped fireballs that can quickly burn an enemy, even with minimal contact. Sasuke's prowess in Fire-Release is strong enought to easily disperese most Water Release techniques, and by channelling chakra thorugh material, he could rapidly increase their temperature enough to instantly melt glass.
Also having a natural affinity for Lightning Release, Sasuke learned to manipulate it under Kakashi's guidance in hoping to deter Sasuke from using the Cursed Seal. Kakashi also taught Sasuke the Chidori, made more effective with his Sharingan, letting Sasuke punch through most obstacles with ease and severely damaging most opponents. In Part I, Sasuke could only use it twice a day, plus a third usage with the activation of his Cursed Seal. In Part II, Sasuke was shown to be able to use the Chidori several times in one day. Over the timeskip, Sasuke greatly developing his lightning chakra, having mastered it to create many new techniques and refined his Chidori, gaining praise later from the Fourth Raikage to break through his Lightning Release Armour at all. His new-found skill can channel his lightning chakra to emit electricity from all over his body and through the ground to act as a shield and stun enemies on contact. He can also channel his lightning chakra into his shuriken and through his sword for extreme cutting power that also numbs anyone it cuts. This is powerful enough to slice through Samurai Sabre Technique. He can also concentrate it into a extendable sword and solid senbon for more precise attacks. Sasuke's most powerful elemental technique is Kirin, a technique that uses natural lightning, allowing Sasuke to perform it even when visibly exhausted. The technique is powerful enough to destroy a small mountain, as well as break through Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo. By adulthood Sasuke is able to use Lightning Release to increase his speed during battles, able to match Kinshiki's speed. 
Sasuke has shown to improved his prowess in Earth Release, as he can donvert soil and stone into gems or metal. He has also shown siginficant prowess in Water release, able to quickly generate a massive quantity of the element in his hand or summon it from a distance. He notes that his Water Release has no impurities and does not conduct, but insulate electricity. Using Wind Release, Sasuke can alther and decrease the surrounding air resistance allowing him to quickly reach his destination. After battling Haku, Sasuke was inspired to copy his Ice Release techniques, by learning to manipulating the state of water. He can evaporate it to create steam or use Wind Release to freeze it. He can instantly freeze a target and create structures ranging from a kunai to a bridge across the ocean. Like typical Ice Release users, the immediate weather conditions are also affected. Despite this it's inferior to the true Ice Release.
After attaining half of Sage of Six Path's power, Sasuke gained Yin Release by using this nature, he is able to produce a more enhanced version of Chidori that is able to pierce Madara Uchiha's jinchūriki form. In addition, his Chidori Sharp Spear became powerful enough to bisect the jinchūriki with ease.
When Sasuke gained the Mangekyō Sharingan, he manifested Amaterasu. He developed it into an advanced form known as the Blaze Release. Aside from unleashing a wave of unquenchable black flames that incinerates everything that reflects in his eyesight, Sasuke can control the movement of the flames into surrounding him and creating spikes to protect himself. As such, he was regarded as more skilled with it than Itachi was by C. When he gained his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his Blaze Release greatly improved. He could combine Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi with Susanoo to create Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi that can pierce through heavy defenses and ignite them, and create a barrage of Amaterasu magatama to handle multiple enemies. Sasuke could also use his Kagutsuchi without using Susanoo for more direct usage.
===Dōjutsu===
==== Sharingan====
Sasuke is one of select members of the Uchiha clan to possess its famous kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. Sasuke first awakened his Sharingan at age 7, with one Tomoe in each eye, after seeing Itachi murder their clan. However, due to the trauma Sasuke endured, he was unable to recall this development and could not use it until years later during his battle with Haku, where his right eye gained an additional tomoe, afterwards able to use it at his own volition. Shortly before the Chūnin Exam Sasuke gained two tomoe in both eyes and later during his battle against Naruto in the the Valley of the End, both eyes reached full maturity with three tomoe. Since being consciously aware of it, Sasuke drastically increased his time periods to which he can maintain his Sharingan with little effect to his chakra levels, even in prolonged fights against several high-level opponents. While only making liberal use of it during Part I, Orochimaru stated that an even greater power and clarity than Itachi's could be sensed from Sasuke's Sharingan, despite its incomplete state at the time.
This dōjutsu grants Sasuke multiple enhanced visual powers. It grants Sasuke immense clarity, able to observe and differentiate the flow of chakra, plus perceive everything within his sight and from that able to accurately predict a target's movements. After his Sharingan fully develops, he was also able to follow the speed of both Naruto's initial jinchūriki form and one-tailed form during their fight, though couldn't completely dodge the latter's chakra shroud. It also allows Sasuke to perfectly mimic a person's movements and even copy their techniques into his own arsenal, provided he is physically able to as using Rock Lee's taijutsu proved physically taxing until after he further conditioned himself.
His Sharingan can also cast powerful genjutsu through eye-contact. Throughout Part II, Sasuke has demonstrated formidable dōjutsu illusions, able to easily hypnotise his adversaries to restrict movements, relaying recorded memories, applying deceptive imagery, inducing hallucinations shocking enough to stir the emotions of even someone like Sai, and even easily quelling Jūgo's violent impulses. Defensively, Sasuke was able to stop Orochimaru's attempt to possess the former's body, erode the dimensional space used for the Sannin's Living Corpse Reincarnation technique and ultimately turn it against him. Also, despite wielding a lesser dōjutsu, Sasuke's substantial ocular prowess would prove strong enough to dispel a genjutsu as powerful as Itachi's Tsukuyomi. Likewise, Tobi noted that Sasuke's resourcefulness and precise timing is able to easily catch his opponents off-guard in his illusions. More prominent examples of his aptitude for Sharingan genjutsu was his ability to enter Naruto's subconscious to effectively suppress Kurama's chakra, along with his complete control over Manda showing his potential to use the dōjutsu's most potent power to subjugate the tailed beasts.
====Mangekyō Sharingan====
Sasuke awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after the death of his older brother, Itachi. The tomoe of Sasuke's Mangekyō spread and converge along the edge of its iris, taking on the appearance of three intersecting ellipses. Following the acquisition of his brother's eyes, Sasuke's Mangekyō pattern changed, gaining a symmetrical, more aligned rendition of Itachi's Mangekyō Tomoe that is centred within Sasuke's own. According to Madara, the pattern of Sasuke's Mangekyō is known as the "Straight Tomoe", which gives Sasuke an even higher capability of reading his opponents movements and to fluidly act upon.
Customary of the Mangekyō Sharingan, prolonged reliance upon its ocular powers places a great burden on his eyes and body, deteriorating his vision after each use. Despite the danger of regular use, Sasuke has not hesitated to test his limits with the power it affords. After his fight with Killer B, Sasuke began to find his vision sporadically fading. During his confrontation with Kakashi, the excessive usage of his Mangekyō Sharingan led to the repercussions becoming more prominent as Sasuke began reeling from overexertion, resulting in his eyesight being reduced to a heavy blur. Out of respect for his older brother's views, Sasuke initially refused to take Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan as his own to avoid blindness, but faced with this and Naruto's unyielding convictions, he finally requested that Tobi transplant them. This resulted in Sasuke's acquisition of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; obtaining additional might from Itachi's ocular power and showing none of the previous signs of physical strain, diminished sight, or fatigue that plagued him from sustained use of this dōjutsu.
With his left Mangekyō, he is able to cast the unquenchable black flames of Amaterasu, which ignites at the focal point of his sight. With his right Mangekyō, Sasuke is able to cast Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi to extinguish and manipulate the flames at will. Sasuke's use of these black flames are said to surpass Itachi's.
After awakening the powers of both Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke became one of the few Uchiha capable of invoking Susanoo; the materialisation of an immense humanoid construct of chakra. His extreme emotions have been the root of its development. While initially relying upon different partial manifestations, Sasuke was soon able to complete his Susanoo's body. It can produce a Susanoo Sword, Susanoo Bow that doubles as a shield, and an orb of chakra that conjures the arrows. Defensively it ribcage, in its incomplete stage it was able to take a barrage from Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, and Darui undamaged. Offensively, his Susanoo's fist and various weapons are strong enough to destroy many large stone pillars with a single attack and its arrows move at speeds only Sage Mode users such as Kabuto Yakushi can avoid. Sasuke's "final" Susanoo developed during his skirmish against Kakashi, becoming a similar yet more sinister version of Itachi's own final Susanoo and changing the composition of its orb of chakra to that of Amaterasu's black flames from which he is able to fashion a number of weapons.

Following the recovery of Itachi's transplant, he awaken the "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan" in the final stage of his Susanoo underwent a drastic change, with scaled hands, a beak-like hood and a larger bow, with a more shield-like appearance, giving it an overall more intimidating appearance. By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke was able to conjure his Susanoo in a considerably larger size and complete with a lower body and legs. Using Jūgo's Sage Transformation, Sasuke is able to infuse his Susanoo with senjutsu chakra, which appears as the flame pattern of the Cursed Seal of Heaven covering it. Upon further syncing with Naruto as well as more experience with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke is able to stabilise Susanoo's final form and arm it onto Naruto's senjutsu-enhanced Tailed Beast Mode, enabling them to cut through Obito Uchiha, and his Sword of Nunoboko. After further adjusting with the power of the Sage of Six Paths, Sasuke was able to advance his Susanoo to a stabilised version. This Susanoo was capable of fending off Madara Uchiha's Chibaku Tensei technique. and has also been shown to be able to protect those inside of it from the Infinite Tsukuyomi as its light can not penetrate through its chakra body.
====Rinnegan====
After receiving half of the Sage of the Six Paths' chakra, Sasuke awakened the Rinnegan in his left eye. Unlike Hagoromo's Rinnegan, Sasuke's Rinnegan possesses a secondary state with six tomoe, bearing a slight resemblance to Kaguya's third eye. With it, Sasuke gains the ability to touch Madara Uchiha's Chakra Disruption Blades without suffering their after effects. He is also able to see otherwise invisible targets, and moreover, has gained the ability to teleport himself and anyone near him as well as inanimate objects within a limited range. Despite his left eye being a Rinnegan, he still retains all of his Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan powers. Like other utilizers of the Rinnegan, Sasuke can wield the powers of the Six Paths Technique. He utilized Deva Path to individually seal away the Tailed Beasts within seperate Chibaku Tensei and Preta Path to absorb one's chakra through physical contact. By using Susano'o as a vessel, he can absorb and contain the Tailed Beasts' chakra. Kurama noted that he was able to reach Hagoromo's level of chakra control by doing so. Due to his Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan he's able to place his targets under genjutsu as he place Sakura under a genjutsu where he place under an illusion where she was pierced by a shadowy figure of Sasuke that render her unconscious. Years later, he could open portals to travel across dimensions and planets. Black Zetsu also alluded that Sasuke's Rinnegan may be the reason for why he was able resist the influence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, when drained of his chakra, Sasuke's Rinnegan temporarily loses its six tomoe and he is unable to utilize the Mangekyou Sharingan as a result. When he This chakra, the six tomoe returns on his Rinnegan. These abilites were lost when Boruto possessed by Momoshiki destoryed Sasuke Rinnegan.
===Chakra ===
Even by Uchiha standards, Sasuke has exceptionally strong chakra which stems from being the current reincarnation of his ancestor, Indra, inheriting his strong spiritual energy. At age 7, he was already able to use his clan's Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. This later surprised even Kakashi, as such techniques usually require more developed chakra. In Part II, his reserves grew considerably greater. Even in an extremely weakened state, he could summon Manda, a high-level summon (though he may have used Orochimaru's chakra). After developing his Mangekyō Sharingan, despite Sasuke recklessly used it multiple times in a single day among other chakra-consuming techniques, he still fought effectively in multiple consecutive battles against four of the Kage, Danzō and later Team 7 before finally succumbing to exhaustion. After gaining Itachi's eyes, Sasuke's reserves appear to have grown even further, as during the battles against Kabuto and later battling in the Fourth Shinobi World War Shinobi Alliance against several powerful enemies where he was visibly unaffected from using several high-level techniques.
Quality-wise, Sasuke's chakra is very powerful: its strength is compared to that of Madara Uchiha's, whose chakra was particularly strong even amongst the Uchiha. When Sasuke first arrived at the Land of Sound and gave Kabuto a frightening glare, both he and Orochimaru noted Sasuke's exceptional chakra. His chakra's strength was even great enough to break free from Danzō's restraining seal. Likewise, his chakra control has also grown considerably. With many high-level techniques, usually lightning and fire-based, he can perform them with few to no hand seals, giving his opponents little time to react. Due to the curse of his clan, Sasuke continued to sink deeper into darkness, which caused his chakra to become noticeably darker. Even Kurama noted that Sasuke's chakra has become even darker than its own, and even similar to that of Madara. Karin has also mentioned that Sasuke's chakra, as he approached the point of manifesting Susanoo, had become even darker, and colder than the corrupting influence of the second stage Cursed Seal of Heaven, and has since continued to grow even more potent along with the development of Susanoo. After meeting the spirit of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the legendary sage gave Sasuke half of his power. As an adult, Sasuke's chakra was potent enough that Urashiki Otsutsuki openly commented on how potent the chakra he stole was, deeming it magnificent. Additionally, Sasuke's chakra control had also improved vastly, able to flawlessly execute his techniques with one-hand seals.
===Intelligence===
From a young age, Sasuke has repeatedly shown keen instincts and quick decision-making skills, causing many to consider him a genius. Able to easily learn various advanced techniques or utilise basic ones for crafty manoeuvres, Sasuke already became a stand-out before graduating the Academy. He is a proficient strategist and tactician, observing his opponent's skills and deducing their workings with ease and accuracy whilst remaining calm and composed. He then chooses the most effective means and ninjutsu to counter them. Against crafty opponents like Deidara, Sasuke can quickly decipher the mechanisms behind their abilities and properly find the right counter. His resolution also enables him to pick strategies in which he requires getting injured in order to defeat the enemy, showing tremendous endurance and willpower. He has also proven capable of tricking older, more experienced shinobi like Danzō into confirming the mechanics of their techniques. Likewise, Sasuke has shown able to use even basic illusions to dangerous effect, tricking his opponent into letting their guard down. Even Madara and Minato have noted Sasuke's ability to calmly assess and analyse the given situation, with Madara also noting Sasuke's great battle sense. Sasuke is also a very capable leader, able to form a team from specific ninja after scouting them out and quickly command their respect and cooperation. Furthermore, he can effectively instruct his team to engage an enemy. He also showed the ability to perform a series of precise and coordinated attacks with his brother Itachi with minimal planning despite their previous volatile relationship. Upon reuniting with Naruto after their talk with Hagoromo, he was able to work effectively in tandem with Naruto to combat Madara, further showcasing his ability to be an effective team-mate.
He can develop many powerful techniques on his own, all based on the one technique he learned from another. From Rock Lee's techniques, Sasuke created different techniques of similar affect. From the Chidori, Sasuke mastered the principles of Lightning Release, and created many innovative techniques. He can also use his techniques as setups for his larger-scale one, such as Kirin. Sasuke is a proficient researcher, having done so to defeat Orochimaru and his various abilities, such as the nature of his snake summons and techniques as well as his unique cursed seals. With this knowledge, he was able to resurrect the Sannin using a combination of Anko's cursed seal, a piece of Kabuto's altered body and a special fūinjutsu. Sasuke was also able to use his Sharingan to perfectly sync his chakra with Naruto's to perform the Scorch Release: Halo Gale Jet Black Arrow Style Zero, something Tobirama claimed even the most experienced duo have difficulty achieving. Sasuke was also able to track Itachi even though the latter used a flock of crows to block his vision.
Sasuke was able to use his Rinnegan very effectively against Madara despite only having obtained it recently and was still experimenting with its powers.
===Other Skills===
Under Orochimaru's training, Sasuke was subjected to the Sannin's experiments and as a result developed physical enhancements including an immunity towards most forms of poisons, to a level that the one Sakura learned from Shizune would not affect him. However, he was not immune to the effects of Orochimaru's true form's poisonous blood. After absorbing Orochimaru, Sasuke gained access to Sannin's regenerative powers that allowed him to heal at a much faster rate than usual, and access Orochimaru's chakra as extra reserves, although he preferred not to. He could also use the Orochimaru-Style Body Replacement Technique to shed his skin and produce a new body, thus repairing any damage he sustained, though it drained him of much of his chakra.
His training has also given him great skill in fūinjutsu and is also otherwise quite knowledgeable in other seals, such as Orochimaru's cursed seals. As an Uchiha, he is also one of the few who can access the Naka Shrine.

*Sasuke is one the two important people (along with Hinata Hyūga) in Naruto's life.
*Although Sasuke's Rinnegan was destroyed when Boruto controlled by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki stabbed his eye, fans expect that he will get it back eventually.
*Many fans still want Sasuke to get the Prosthetic Arm after losing his left arm. In the Blank Era, Sasuke initially told everyone that he couldn't accept such a gift as he felt unworthy at the time.
*Like his previous incarnations, Madara and Indra, Sasuke grew out his hair to cover his eye by adulthood. Though in Sasuke's case, this is to hide his Rinnegan; he can't shut it off like his right eye's sharing.
*It is unknown if Sasuke lost use of his Rinnegan after Momoshiki-possessed Boruto stabbed it with a kunai.
*Sasuke is one of the six people (along with Sarada, Sumire, Himawari, Koji Kashin and Shikamaru) determined to help Boruto prove his innocence as well as to get his life and his parents, Naruto and Hinata, back. Although, he’s only doing that under direct request from his daughter.
**However, he became a victim to the power of the Ten Tails and got sealed in a tree prison, which not only Boruto intends to get his life and parents back, but to find a way to free his master as well.
