Throughout theNarutofranchise , the title part only had one real rival in his equal group . Sasuke Uchiha had the science and the talent to dispute an adolescent with the power of a tailed beast sealed inside of him . Over the form of the series , Sasuke ’s talents and weaknesses became more and more apparent and his skillset became very divers .

Sasuke was a man of few quarrel . He frequently stayed aloof with his class fellow and his teammates , prefer to concentre on making himself into a more powerful shinobi than figuring out how to act with a team . That idea came back to bite him when he decide to put himself onward of his village . He defected from Konohagakure as a stripling so as to take under the auspicious eye of Orochimaru .   That training provide Sasuke with even more skills , ones that no one else in his rest home village had . The same training also made it evident to fans of the dealership that , despite all of that world power , Sasuke also had some jolly glaring weaknesses .

Updated on March 22nd , 2022 by Amanda Bruce : Sasuke Uchiha remains one of the most complex characters in the Naruto franchise . Originally a loth friend of the title character , then a sworn opposition , Sasuke has gone through a lot of changes over the class of the franchise . He seems well - adjusted in the Boruto series , but his previous weaknesses could always complicate matter for him , no matter how powerful he might be .

Itachi Uchiha

Unique Powers Sasuke Has

Summoning Hawks

While training under Orochimaru , fans expected Sasuke to get wind to work with snakes . He did , just like Jiraiya taught Naruto about toadsand Tsunade taught Sakura about slugs . astonishingly , Sasuke learned to work with another animal , too .

Though we never see the training for it , Sasuke study to summon large hawks to help him in a combat . He does n’t seem to do much with them other than use them for their flight capabilities and we only see him summon a hawk once or twice in the anime .   The Zanzibar copal did wish to have hawk circulate in the sky a draw before the reveal , so maybe fans were think of to infer that he ’d been using them for surveillance .

Master of Wire Strings

Because Sasuke does have access to so many powers , it ’s easy to draw a blank he ’s also good with a variety of arm . He can also use different tools , like wire strings , to augment his jutsu .

Sasuke can practice Fire Release or Lightning Release to assist his conducting wire train , but he can also habituate them to constipate enemies in a fight . Surprisingly , mastering wire strings seems to be a comparatively uncommon attainment in Sasuke ’s generation ( Naruto only used them once in a movie).In the series , Tenten , Shikamaru , Shino , Sai , and Temari are the only other veritable users . Of those , Tenten and Shikamaru are the only single to use them in the manga .

Bansho Ten’in

At first , Bansho Ten’in does n’t seem like a great skill . It makes the shinobi pull an resister toward them , but the point should be to stick around out of range of the opponent ’s jutsu , right ? It depend on the shinobi ’s skills .

Sasuke has a wide scope of science he can use in close or mid - range fighting . With the Bansho Ten - in , he can   influence the attractive force between himself and an opponent to move them closer . In theory , he could move more than one opponent at a time , then lease the power go , throw them clash with one another .   It ’s useful if a shinobi is up against someone who does n’t have close-fitting fight skill .

Large Chakra Reserves

If there ’s one character known for vast chakra story in theNarutofranchise , it ’s the title persona himself . Large chakra reserves are a trait of the Uzumaki kinsperson . He ’s not the only one with high than normal levels of chakra .

Though it ’s not a known trait of the Uchiha clan , Sasuke clearly has large amounts of chakra . When Kakashi Hatake teach his studenthow to do the Chidori , a lightning - base skill , he ask Sasuke to only be able-bodied to apply it once before his chakra is exhaust .   Instead , Sasuke is capable to do the Chidori doubly in less than 24 hours and he ’s capable to cover fighting with down chakra levels .

Blaze Release Honoikazuchi

This particular power has a pretty fancy name . It ’s in reality just one subset of powerfulness bring forth by someone who wields a Mangekyou Sharingan .   The Blaze Release Honoikazuchi involve the shinobi using Amaterasu and   mold it further . Amaterasu refers to the black flames created by the Mangekyou Sharingan that can actually take after an enemy once the shinobi can rivet on them .

With this subset of the skill , the calamitous flames can be ferment into spikes , making them more powerful .   Interestingly , Sasuke used this index when he had n’t yet activated his Mangekyou Sharingan in the Zanzibar copal . Either he found a way to access it early on , or it ’s a continuity offspring that dedicate him a new power .

Combination Transformation

This fussy ability is another one of Sasuke ’s that only occurs in the anime . The powerful jutsu is predict Combination Transformation because that ’s literally what it involves .   Two shinobi join forces to take on the appearance of another word form . normally , one member of the team ply the backbone of chakra while the other performs any necessary hand sealskin for their actions .

In Sasuke ’s case , he and Naruto actually transformed into one giant shuriken to be cast at an enemy , rather than another being . In the past tense , Naruto team up with the toad Gamabunta to take on the coming into court of a giant nine - tail beast .

Creating Ice

Combining chakra nature to create elements is something potent shinobi read as they age . One exception to this is Wood Style , which allows a shinobi to unite Water and Earth chakra types ;   it ’s a rare form that only a few shinobi get over . Sasuke is able-bodied to combine a pair of other chakra typesinstead .

By the time he ’s an adult , Sasuke is able to use Lightning , Fire , Water , Wind , and Earth chakra type . Usually , he uses them on their own , but there are example of fuse them .   One combining fans see him perform is combining Water and Wind Release to create his own form of glass , leave him a whole new method of fire .

Peregrine Falcon Drop

Less of a power and more of an attacking method acting , the Peregrine Falcon Drop resemble a wrestling move .   With this move , the substance abuser really gets their hands on a falling opponent , grabbing them around the ankle . Once they ’ve done that , they wrap their legs around the opponent to immobilize them and drive them into the ground . It ’s a move that some fans equal with the real - life pile driver used in wrestling .

This is one of the earliest hand - to - hand combat move we see Sasuke use effectively in the Zanzibar copal . foe bed he ’s a dangerous shaver when he pulls this one out .

Chakra Control

Of the members of Team 7 , it ’s Sakura who is best known for her precise chakra control . Naruto and Sasuke have larger chakra second-stringer than she does as teens , so they do n’t necessarily need to be as accurate with it . As Sasuke ages though , his chakra control becomes much more exact .

A lot of Sasuke ’s flashy onrush do n’t rely on precise chakra control , which is why fans might not notice how great his becomes . When he ’s just throwing fireball at someone , he needs mightiness , not finesse .   He is capable   of intricate movements using his chakra though , like syphon power from a tailed creature , which surprised even the nine - tails .

Pachinko Technique

This especial technique is n’t one that fan will find in the manga . It ’s a move only used in the Zanzibar copal , and it require both Sasuke and Naruto to perform it .   Sasuke and Naruto expend part of an episode with their hand bound together with chakra liquidity . The experience forced them to learn to work together , and the Pachinko Technique was assume from it .

Naruto and Sasuke used the chakra liquid that connected them to launch a statue at their foeman ( they basically became a human sling ) . The technique gets its name from a game standardized to pinball that ’s known in Japan .

Speed

Speed in the earthly concern ofNarutoisn’t like the speedsters of the strip unless the shinobi is someone like Minato , who was able to teleport . Instead , when a shinobi has the business leader of velocity , it think of they ’re go even quicker than other ninjas in their strength class .

For Sasuke , he does n’t ab initio seem much profligate than his peer . With the help of the Uchiha clan Sharingan , though , he ’s able-bodied to increase his fastness and reaction time as he learn .   The Sharingan allows him to see movements faster than the normal human eye . With that skill , he ’s also able to react even faster than the average shinobi .

Orochimaru’s Style of Body Replacement

Orochimaru developed his own method acting of living everlastingly . As his body breaks down , he can dwell a new body . That ’s not the only way he can get a new physical structure , though .

Because Orochimaru has many skills barrack by snakes , he can essentially throw off his cutis to reveal a new eubstance underneath when he ’s wound in a fight . It ’s that particular skill that Sasuke also uses .   It ’s intelligibly something learned from Orochimaru as only those close to him are capable to do it . In addition to Orochimaru and Sasuke , the only other person to use this skill is Kabuto .

Accelerated Healing

Of the characters in theNarutofranchise , the one character who always seemed to get back on his foot quicker than possible was Naruto . At one point in the franchise , Sasuke also accelerated healing .

Now , Naruto ’s healing rate was a consequence of his already Brobdingnagian chakra levels from being an Uzumaki combined with the nine - tail beast ’s chakra inside of him . Sasuke did n’t have either of those things go for him .   Instead , when Sasuke absorb Orochimaru into his system , rather than permit the latter to take over his body , he gained many of Orochimaru ’s abilities . One of those was his ability to heal faster than normal .

Immunity To Poisons

member of the Hidden Leaf Village were lucky whenLady Tsunade accepted the invitation to become Hokage . Her noesis of poison and antidotes was invaluable and she teach what she sleep together to Sakura , who could actually use her chakra to physically extract poison from someone . Sasuke was n’t in the village at the time and did n’t have access to any of that .

fortuitously for Sasuke , he did have access to the instruction and experimentation of Orochimaru .   While it ’s not clear what Orochimaru did to Sasuke when the former trained him , Orochimaru had to do more than just teach him jutsu . After living with Orochimaru for three age , Sasuke became immune to most poisons .

Chakra Sensing

A sensorial shinobi is someone who can feel chakra in other beings . With that ability , they can tell where their target area are located even if they ca n’t physically see them . Some of the detector type in the franchise include members of the Yamanaka and Hyuga clan .

A particularly powerful sensor is Karin , whom Sasuke becomes close to . Throughout his time with her , Sasuke does n’t appear to be a sensor , but he can smell out one gravid change in chakra .   For some rationality , Sasuke is able to smell out when Naruto build up his chakra from the nine - tailed beast in their final struggle against one another . Perhaps it ’s because of how often Sasuke had already been in Naruto ’s head teacher .

Dimension Hopping

While we do n’t know on the nose how he does it , inBoruto , Sasuke revealed he can journey between dimension with a limited number of the great unwashed .   What we do cognise is that he ’s able to reach this exploit somehow using the Rinnegan , another especial power in his eyes . He was able-bodied to open up a portal vein between the characters ’ proportion and that of the Otsutsuki to help Boruto lay aside Naruto .

The idea of moving between dimensions is n’t unprecedented in theNarutofranchise . There are other theatrical role with optic - related powers , like Kakashi , who can open up portals as well . In the face of Kakashi , he ordinarily broadcast weapons or enemies to other dimensions , not making the trip himself .

Susanoo Great Fireball Technique

One of Sasuke ’s slap-up index , and one the most powerful of the Uchiha clan have access to , is the Susanoo . The Susanoo is an embodiment that surrounds the shinobi , protecting him from harm and plunge attacks with his jutsu .

There are fourth dimension in the anime that Sasuke ’s Susanoo use attacks not seen in the manga . One of those is the Great Fireball Technique , standardized to the one an Uchiha can perform alone .   With this technique , Sasuke ’s Susanoo is able to , as the name suggests , launch a giant fireball at an enemy . These fireballs continue to burn   instead of   exploding on impact , making them pretty effective .

Codebreaking

Pattern acknowledgement is a useful skill , but one that typically demand a lot of studying to turn into codebreaking . Sasuke has a moment of a crosscut .

One of the mogul at Sasuke ’s administration is that of the Rinnegan . The Rinnegan give a lot of his existing powers a boost . Not only does he get a stronger Susanoo because of it , but he gets that proportion - hopping ability . It also increases his ability to agnise patterns .   That means the Rinnegan actually allows him to agnise patterns in committal to writing and rapidly decipher codes . It ’s an power that gives him an edge while he ’s spying for Konoha on his own .

One-handed Seals

To perform certain jutsu , a shinobi has to perform a episode of hired hand motion , call seals . Most shinobi require two hand to perform them , but not Sasuke .

Suppress Tailed Beasts

The tailed beasts are some of the most hefty creatures in the franchise . With the nine - tails locked inside of Naruto , many villagers he knew kept their distance from him ,   even as a child . As Sasuke older and mastered his Sharingan , he learned he could suppress the tailed creature ’ abilities .

Sasuke ’s Sharingan allows him to force hoi polloi into genjutsu - induced delusion . It also allows him to get inside multitude ’s head , kind of like the Yamanaka clan ’s abilities .   Because of that , he ’s capable to see Kurama , the nine - track dodger , the way Naruto sees him : locked in a cage in his mind . He ’s also able-bodied to push back against Kurama , though it takes a lot of effort on his part .

Sasuke’s Weaknesses

Sakura Haruno

Sakura and Sasuke have an interesting relationship . Sakura has a crush on him her total life sentence and never loses organized religion in him , even when he ’s violent with her while working against Konoha . Ultimately , however , Sasuke cares more for Sakura than he lets on .

When Team 7 is in battle and Sakura is the one in worry , Sasuke is uncoerced to use every accomplishment at his disposition to support her . He nearly kills people during the Chunin Exams to protect her . Sasuke is n’t uncoerced to lose Sakura , even when he pretends he finds her nothing more than pestering .

Reliance On His Dojutsu

Most shinobi check a huge variety show of acquisition . That ’s honest of Sasuke to an extent , but the attainment he concentrate on have a heavy trust on his dojutsu .

Dojutsu is specifically jutsu involving the eyes in theNarutouniverse . Most of Sasuke ’s best acquirement are the result of his Uchiha bloodline and what he can do with his eyes . That mean he does n’t train with a multifariousness of weapons like Tenten or learn way to combat his enemies that do n’t practice his eyes . That entail if his eye are somehow block , he would n’t have as many science to fall back on .

Skewed Sense Of Loyalty

While as an adult , Sasuke keep up his loyalty to Konohagakure , his loyalties until after the Fourth Shinobi World War is over are always in flux . He does n’t really seem to have a sense of loyalty behind his own family .

Sasuke initially want revenge for the deaths of his parents . He seek out magnate from the most dangerous person to have deserted Konoha in ordering to get it . Then , he get a line his brother was actually work for the trade good of the village when he extinguish their kin . Sasuke does n’t know what to think , and his loyalty changes back and forth between his hamlet and his desire for more power .

Perception In Battle

Despite Sasuke ’s powerful optic , he does n’t always see what ’s flop in front of him . In fact , his major battles in theNarutofranchise - against his ancestry brother Itachi and his brother by option Naruto - rise that quite well .

Sasuke is n’t perceptive enough to notice when either of them begins to gain the upper hand on him . Naruto is able-bodied to go into Sage Mode and Itachi was able-bodied to represent on Sasuke ’s emotions quite easily .

Communication

Sasuke pass a lot of time in the franchise as the strong and silent eccentric . A lot of that is because Sasuke spent his formative years thinking about vex revenge for his family . Spending twelvemonth having poor communication acquisition with your compeer radical means new skills do n’t magically appear as an adult , though .

In theBorutoseries , fans learn that Sasuke is so bad at communicating that he does n’t even send his wife letters while jaunt .   He lead shortly after his girl , Sarada , learned to walk , deciding to travel and essay to repent for youthful misdeeds . That leaves Sakura alone to raise their girl for intimately a decade , with no idea where he is .

Holding Grudges

Sasuke drop all of his plastic years with a single end in idea : avenging the   elimination   of the Uchiha Clan .

When Sasuke ’s braggy brother , Itachi , pass over out the intact clan , Sasuke was the only family fellow member he spar . Sasuke did n’t get it on it at the time , but Itachi ’s decision was part of a longer game architectural plan . Of naturally , nothing really puzzle out out the way either of the Uchihas want in the close .   Sasuke ’s obsession with avenge his family run him down a moody path . He defected from Konohagakure and joined up with Orochimaru . Sasuke became more herculean under his training , but it cost him yr with his friends , along with much of his compassionateness .

Relationships

Perhaps it ’s a event of lose his total family at such a young years , and witnessing the aftermath , but Sasuke is n’t great with interpersonal relationship .

In addition to   leaving the one person who considered him a practiced ally , Naruto , he also never made his feelings for Sakura clear . In fact , their first meaningful fundamental interaction had him refer to her as “ pestering . ”   The only way fans knew he had soften toward her was that he duplicate the same idiomatic expression , but with a smile , when leaving her behind in Konoha .   Likewise , he treated Karin coldly when fall in up with Orochimaru but always insisted on deliver her first and keeping her out of peril in a fight .

Planning

Patience is not Sasuke ’s potent causa . He ’s forced to expect nearly a tenner before he can get revenge on his big brother , and he ’s force to train for three years with Orochimaru before he can chance on on his own . These two thing do n’t make him a patient strategist , though .

Instead , Sasuke has a light preference for have into a fight and reacting to his opponent on the tent-fly . He attempts to strategize as he fight , but unfortunately , he ’s not in the same leagueas someone like Shikamaru Nara .   or else , this is one country where he and Naruto are more interchangeable than they ’d belike like to accept . It ’s lucky that their sheer office outbalance their impulsivity .

The Cursed Seal

When Orochimaru chose Sasuke as his next adherent , he marked him in the middle of a fighting . The pain from the seal placed on Sasuke was so intense that his fighting weakened . That pain in the neck was the result of Orochimaru ’s Cursed Seal of Heaven .

The Cursed Seal of Heaven , over fourth dimension , became an vantage for Sasuke . He could utilise it to make his own ability strong , just like many of the shinobi who worked directly under Orochimaru .   In its initial program and use , however , the seal was a definite hurt to a untried genin still learning to use some basic jutsu .

Arrogance

The phrase “ pride cometh before the fall ” could n’t be more accurate when it comes to the like of Sasuke . rank at the top of his Ninja Academy class , Sasuke believed himself to be more skilled than his peers . While that might have been true , it did n’t always imply he was better in a fight .

The first time he doubted his own abilitiesoccurred during the Chunin Exams . His teammates fall face - to - human face with a woman that Sasuke believed was the embodiment of expiry , but   in realness , she was Orochimaru in camouflage .   It was n’t until others join the fray that Sasuke was able to displume through and get over his care .

Mangekyou Sharingan

While the Mangekyou Sharingan comes with some redundant big businessman and abilities , it fall at a higher price . Despite the power , thepriceis the impuissance here .

to actuate the Mangekyou Sharingan to begin with , the shinobi in question has to receive majuscule brokenheartedness . For many , that mean causing the individual they care the most for to misplace their animation . In Sasuke ’s case , he witness his expectant pal Itachi succumb to his luck .   In addition to that grief , the Mangekyou Sharingan also causes the user to lose their visual sense over prison term . Either they go blind or they need new eye .

Guilt

As a child , Sasuke does n’t waste time feeling hangdog . He makes decisions and he go on . The only hint we get of his propensity for guiltiness is how wild he is about the Uchiha clan reasoning by elimination . He carry that with him like an actual weapon for most of his puerility .

As an adult though , it seems there is n’t much Sasuke does n’t feel shamefaced about . He ’s so stuck on the things he did in the past that he leaves Konohagakure ( and his married woman ) all in all .   Sasuke spends almost a 10 stray the countryside , doing sound deeds , but also spy for Konoha . His guilt causes him to leave everyone behind , go forth him vulnerable to approach and rumour .

Sound-based Attacks

speech sound - based attack are rare in the franchise as we only see a smattering of shinobi expend them . The first meter fans were introduced to them was way back during Naruto ’s chunin exam when one of the penis of the Sound Village had trunk modification that allowed them to defend with sound wave .

You would think with all of Sasuke ’s magnate - ups as an adult that he would have   developed some sorting of shelter against that style of fight .   regrettably for Sasuke , he did n’t . Even his Susanoo , which can protect him from just about anything else , has no counter for sound - based attacks . It ’s prosperous , then , that sound as a weapon is so rare .

Naruto

Naruto and Sasuke might look at themselves adept friends , but they are most definitely   each other ’s great weakness . Naruto drop age taste to add Sasuke home and it ’s always Naruto that makes Sasuke intermission in the middle of a fight .

Other than Sakura and Sarada , Naruto might be the somebody Sasuke cares for most in the world . How did he show that as their friendship build up ? By always competing ,   make him think he was inferior , and wanting to fight him .   The need to always be better than Naruto is part of what force Sasuke to seek power outside of Konoha . If they had n’t been so   fixated on one another , much of the mussy battles during their early years could have been avoided .
