Sasuke

Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character in Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga and anime series. He is a member of the Uchiha clan from the Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha) and is introduced as a gifted young ninja who joins Team 7 alongside Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno under Kakashi Hatake. Sasuke’s early motivation is shaped by the massacre of his clan, which he vows to avenge, making him one of the central figures in the series.

Driven by vengeance, Sasuke leaves Konoha to gain power, first through training with Orochimaru. He forms the Hebi group, later renamed Taka, and pursues his brother Itachi, whom he blames for the Uchiha tragedy. After learning the truth about Itachi’s sacrifices, Sasuke’s goals become more complex, and he becomes an increasingly controversial figure who clashes with his former allies. He plays a pivotal role in the Fourth Great Ninja War, fighting alongside the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Sasuke’s abilities center on his ocular powers. He possesses the Sharingan, which evolves into Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and, later, the Rinnegan. These eyes grant him advanced perception, powerful techniques, and battlefield versatility, including Susanoo, Amaterasu, and enhanced lightning-based attacks. He also relies on swordplay and close-quarters combat, often pairing Chidori-based techniques with swift strikes.

In the postwar era, Sasuke travels the world as a rogue ninja, seeking to glean hidden truths about the ninja world and protect it from outside threats. In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, he remains a wandering figure and guardian who occasionally aids Naruto and Konoha while pursuing his own path. Sasuke is widely recognized as one of the series’ most powerful and influential characters.
