Uchiha Sasuke | I wanted to see you...

Sasuke Uchiha's Physique

Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto Shippuden has an imposing appearance and a presence that reflects his cold and determined nature. He is a tall and thin young man, but with an athletic build, adapted to agile and fast combat. His skin is fair, and his face maintains a serious and reserved expression, rarely revealing his emotions. His eyes are dark and sharp, but when he activates the Sharingan or Mangekyō Sharingan, they take on a crimson glow with distinctive patterns, highlighting his Uchiha lineage. His hair is black and straight, with locks that fall towards his forehead, and at the back it lengthens into spikes that give him a more rebellious appearance.

Veteran of Sasuke Uchiha

As for his clothing, Sasuke adopts an outfit that reflects his distance from Konoha and his training with Orochimaru. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with an open collar, leaving his torso and the Uchiha clan symbol on the back visible. His pants are dark and loose, fastened with a thick cloth belt, over which he wears a large purple bow tied around his waist, similar to the style of Orochimaru's followers. He also wears shinobi sandals and bandages on his forearms. On his back, he carries a katana stored in its sheath, a weapon that he uses with great skill in combat.

Sasuke Uchiha's Personality

Sasuke is introverted and reserved, rarely showing emotion or affection. He is extremely analytical and strategic, always measuring his words and actions. He does not often act impulsively; instead, he studies his opponents and attacks with surgical precision. His coldness can make him seem indifferent even towards those who care about him, such as Naruto and Sakura. Throughout the series, Sasuke demonstrates great pride in his abilities and Uchiha lineage. He does not tolerate weakness and firmly believes in power as the only means to achieve his goals. His determination makes him unstoppable; once he sets his sights on a purpose, he does not deviate from his path no matter the consequences. His desire for revenge consumes him to the point that he turns away from Konoha and betrays his friends. During his time with Orochimaru, his only goal is to become strong enough to defeat Itachi. Even after achieving this, his thirst for revenge does not disappear, as upon discovering the truth about his brother, he redirects his hatred towards Konoha, believing the shinobi system to be the true enemy. Though he seems completely consumed by darkness, deep down he is still a man at war with himself. His ties to Naruto and Team 7 never fully fade, even as he constantly rejects them. His journey leads him to question his own decisions and motivations, until he finally finds his own purpose beyond vengeance.

Relationship with Orochimaru

Sasuke Uchiha's relationship with Orochimaru is one of mutual convenience and manipulation. Sasuke decides to leave Konoha and join Orochimaru with the sole goal of becoming stronger to defeat his brother, Itachi. Sasuke feels that he is wasting his time in Konoha and that his growth as a shinobi is too slow. After witnessing Itachi's power and being humiliated by him, Sasuke realizes that the gap between them is enormous. In his desperation to become stronger, he accepts Orochimaru's proposal, who offers him unlimited power in exchange for becoming his vessel. Orochimaru sees in Sasuke the perfect vessel to transfer his soul and continue his existence. He knows that the young Uchiha has immense potential and seeks to mold him to his will. In exchange for his loyalty, Orochimaru teaches him forbidden jutsus, advanced use of the Sharingan and grants him the Cursed Seal, an additional source of power. However, Sasuke never fully trusts Orochimaru. Although he accepts his training, he is aware of his true intentions and only sees him as a means to achieve his goal. Unlike other subordinates, Sasuke never shows devotion to him and always maintains his independence. As time goes on, Sasuke surpasses Orochimaru's expectations and, instead of becoming his vessel, betrays him. In a confrontation, Sasuke proves that he has surpassed his master and defeats him, absorbing some of his power. At this point, Sasuke no longer needs Orochimaru and decides to follow his own path, forming his team, Hebi (later Taka), to hunt down Itachi. In short, the relationship between Sasuke and Orochimaru is a mentor-apprentice dynamic based on manipulation. Orochimaru sees Sasuke as a resource, while Sasuke uses him for his own benefit. In the end, Sasuke proves his ambition is greater and breaks with his master without hesitation.
