Sasuke Uchiha: The Avenger’s Odyssey

A fictional character from the Naruto manga and anime series, Sasuke Uchiha is one of the last surviving members of the Uchiha clan, a distinguished and reputable ninja family in the Naruto universe. It’s no wonder that fans of the series adore this character. Sasuke’s life and past has been littered with betrayals and wrongs. His Sharingan has become iconic and synonymous with the series. 

Sasuke has learnt, developed and mastered over 50 jutsus and techniques, and he has accumulated so many that by the end of the series he was one of the only characters to match Naruto in strength.

• Mangekyo: Certain Uchiha clan members are endowed with the Mangekyo Sharingan, a more sophisticated kind of the Sharingan vision power. It bestows upon the user strong, personalized skills. Following the passing of his brother Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke awoke his Mangekyo Sharingan. 
• Amaterasu and Susanoo:  Among Sasuke’s Mangekyo Sharingan skills are Susanoo, a large spectral warrior who can use weapons and serve as a shield, and Amaterasu, a black fire that ignites anything it touches and burns until it consumes its victim entirely.

Sasuke has had a very traumatic past witnessing the slaughter of his entire clan by his brother. His main motive throughout most of the Naruto series was to avenge Itachi Uchiha, his brother, for the massacre of the Uchiha clan, consuming his thoughts and actions completely. This one incident sparked inside him of a life long goal of avenging this wrong by getting revenge on the brother he looked up to and idolized all his life. Driven by this rage, he only wished to get stronger and better as a ninja, initially joining the familiar Team 7 with his compatriots Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura but then later betraying them for the wicked Orocharu and Akatsuki. Always being the best in his class, Sasuke’s capabilities were never in doubt and this rage led him to develop his prowess.

As a child, Sasuke was unlike any other child, happy and loved and someone who adored his older brother. Who can ever forget seeing the forehead finger pokes in their childhood flashbacks, but this period in his life was short lived as Sasuke was unable to move past his demons, driven by revenge and hatred which ultimately consumed him. He abandoned his village, his friends and his ideals all in his pursuit for power to avenge those wronged him. Sasuke’s character is shown to be complex, charismatic and compelling. A combination of determination, stoicism, ambition, protectiveness and even loneliness.

He is portrayed to be a dark character, which is distinguished by his strong drive for vengeance, his readiness to go to great lengths to accomplish his objectives, and his propensity to emotionally distance himself from people. He becomes cold and distant which goes hand-in-hand with his desire to seek revenge against his brother, struggling with conflicting emotions and inner turmoil.Sasuke is very motivated, especially when it comes to accomplishing his objectives. Sasuke’s resolve never wavers, whether he’s wanting more power to defend those he loves about or exacting revenge on his brother Itachi.
