CHARACTER INFO.
✖ Character Name: Uchiha, Sasuke
✖ Canon: Naruto, end of chapter 699
✖ Character Appearance: This, but with his left arm missing and clothes more like this.
✖ Character Age: 17
✖ Pick A Number: 606, 723
✖ Canon Setting: The setting for Naruto takes place in a world heavily based in Japanese mythology without actually being connected to Earth as we know it. (There are obvious adjustments made as the series progresses, as at one point a character makes a Confucius reference but such things aren't brought up later on.) The technology is questionable, as long distance communication requires large complicated machines, but the movies make mention of cinema and hand held video games. Someone from the Narutoverse would be familiar with a radio, but probably not a phone or computer. Early images of the Leaf Village depict telephone wires, electrical cables, and billboards, but as the story doesn't focus on the technological aspects of the world, none of this was ever delved into.
The story focuses on the ninja, particularly those in the Village Hidden in the Leaves within the Land of Fire. The world is divided up into several nations, generally named for elements or weather. The five greatest of these are the Lands of Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning - the five prominent elements used in the series. Within each nation is a village ruled by a 'Kage'. The Village Hidden in the Leaves is ruled by the Hokage, or "fire shadow". It's a running theme that the most optimistic and inspiring characters in the series want to become Hokage - Naruto being the prime example of that.
The rest of each country is ruled by a fuedal lord. Though technically they have the same amount of power as the kage, it's ultimately the hidden village that makes decisions in regard to warfare and safety of their nation. Originally, ninja clans fought each other in endless, bloody struggles for power. When two clans, the Senju and the Uchiha, joined forces and started the first village, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, other clans were forced to follow suit in order to hold up some balance of power between everyone. Though the first village was founded with the idea of creating a peaceful existence for the younger generations, and this succeeded, the treaties between each nation are tenuous at best and there have still been large scale wars since the system was put into place.
To help keep each other in check, as well as to train their youth for the trials they'll face when they're full ninja, the villages host competitions that include participants from all the nations for the sake of earning a place among the higher ranks - the chuunin. Many take several tries to make it through, while some never make it at all and remain the lowest level, a genin, for the rest of their life. The higher the rank, the better class of mission a ninja is allowed to take. After chuunin there's jounin, who often take the position of instructing others. There is also a special unit, the ANBU black ops division, who take on some of the darker affairs of the village.
Ninjas rely on chakra for their abilities, which is a mixture of a person's physical and spiritual energies. Some ninja have more chakra reserves than others, and there is a different "feel" to them that those with good chakra sensing abilities can pick out. Techniques are performed using hand seals to release the energy - though not all require them. Everyone has a certain elemental affinity, though some can learn to use one other over their lifetime. Each element has strengths and weaknesses in relation to the others, and in some cases elements can be merged. Wind and water elements can create ice techniques, for example. Through a combination of this, as well as the affinities of yin and yang, basically any sort of technique can be created. Some clans have special bloodline traits that anyone born in their clan can develop. The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is an example of this.
Chakra of this world, though going by the same name as energy used in others, actually has a rather complicated history. A woman from a far off land, Kaguya Otsutsuki, ate the fruit of the Shinju, the origin of all chakra. While she originally intended to use this power to bring peace to the warring world, she eventually became consumed by it and used an illusionary technique to trap people in a dream-like state. She would have two sons, humans who would inherit her powerful chakra and eye techniques. Angered that they had taken energy she considered rightfully hers, she merged with the Shinju to create the ten-tailed beast. Her sons managed to defeat her and seal her away. One of them, Hagoromo, divided the chakra of the ten-tailed beast into nine separate entities - tailed beasts of one to nine tails. When he died, they were left to roam the world. Because they were so powerful, and could cause so much destruction, they were all ultimately sealed away in a way that allowed for others to make use of their power - sharing the bodies of certain chosen ninja. Naruto would eventually become the vessel for the Nine-Tails.
A plan to revive the ten-tails and put everyone into that same dream-like state that Kaguya had used before, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, would bring all the nations together in an effort to put a stop to it.
✖ Character History: Naruto Wikia
CDC HISTORY: september, october, november, january, february, march, april
(permanent tracking post)
✖ Character Personality: Even as a child, while he still had a more cheerful disposition, Sasuke was always proud. He came from a powerful clan and hoped to one day be as strong as his older brother. Because of this, he tended to act as though he was above everyone else. This only got worse after his clan was killed, as he set himself on a coarse of vengeance that he didn't think anyone else could understand or help with.
His brother's actions, as well as the way he viewed himself in comparison to his brother, left him with something of an inferiority complex that only reveals itself when he's faced with someone who's stronger than he is. This is seen especially in his rivalry with Naruto as the other steadily gains in strength. Itachi was one of the more powerful members of his clan, after all. How could he hope to defeat him if he couldn't beat his fellow ninja? This seems to have become less of an issue lately, especially after Itachi's death, as there are fewer hints of jealousy when he sees how strong Naruto's become in comparison. (Though it definitely hasn't gone away, as he can be seen to be humorously put out later when someone claims someone else's version of a technique is better than his.)
He's one of the series' many genius characters, excelling in most of the fields covered in the academy. This doesn't help when it comes to issues of superiority (yes he has both complexes) in regards to others. He thinks he's better because a lot of the time he simply is. He knows how to take in a situation quickly and react before most. Every move is carefully calculated, and he doesn't (usually) run in without a plan - as opposed to a certain teammate of his.
Sasuke was created as Naruto's rival and foil. He is, quite literally as we see later, the yin to Naruto's yang. Where Naruto is boisterous and attention-seeking, Sasuke is broody and collected - and this draws plenty of attention on its own, which in turn causes Naruto to try and outdo him. Sasuke had some of the highest grades in their class, while Naruto had the lowest. Both of them are cocky and overconfident, but where Naruto will yell his challenges to the wind, Sasuke will just regard them like they aren't worth his time. Their rivalry works out well in this way, and the two of them have respect for the other's abilities. They had even started to develop a friendship of sorts until Itachi appeared and reminded Sasuke that he still had a long way to go before he defeated him, an event that brought out the boy's darker side and caused him to toss away all notions of friendship in favor of revenge.
These particularly dark flames were first stoked by Orochimaru, who gave him the cursed seal and in doing so gave him a taste of power. Sasuke desires power greatly in order to help him with his ultimate goal of defeating his brother. His desire to do things on his own is also a contrast to Naruto, who excels through obtaining and working alongside new allies.
The Uchiha as a whole are prone to suffering the Curse of Hatred, and as Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, the clan's founder, he is especially open to it. Those in the clan do their best to keep their emotions in check, as they have deeper affections than anyone. When those they care for are taken from them, they can become lost in despair and hatred. Their strong emotions cause a trait of their bloodline, the Sharingan, to form. Further losses only cause it to become stronger. Itachi told Sasuke that he had to kill the one he cared for most in order to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan, but this isn't really the case. It's gained when someone with the Sharingan is overcome with emotion over the loss of that person. Sasuke doesn't gain his until he realizes the truth about his brother after his death. It's his grief over this loss that causes him to lose himself and head on a path of destruction - particularly Konoha's destruction.
While at first he's somewhat reasonable, leading his own team and making his way toward his goal without any needless killing, the death of his brother causes him to toss some of those morals out the window. He wants to kill Danzo and the other elders, and is willing to sacrifice his own team members (old and new) in order to accomplish this. It's only the words of his resurrected brother that snap him out of this and cause him to consider his choices more carefully.
He's a ball of confusion by the end of it, going so far as to bring back Orochimaru and the previous leaders of his village to explain to him things about their village and clan that influenced his brother's decisions. He's calmed down, more rational, and in this state decides that he wants to follow Itachi's wishes after all and protect the village and take charge of it rather than destroy it, bringing him full circle and closer to the way he was at the start of the series. This is shown in the way he reunites with (and apologizes to) members of the team he'd put together in Orochimaru's village.
Up until the 'final boss' of the series is finally defeated, the reader isn't given many glimpses into what Sasuke's true goals are. All he told anyone upon joining the fray is that he wants to become Hokage. What's eventually revealed is that he doesn't just want to become Hokage, he wants to cause a revolution. He wants to be rid of all the current world leaders and tailed beasts and to make himself the villain in the shadows - the focus of everyone's hatred. He doesn't believe things will remain peaceful without an enemy for everyone to focus on.
Unlike when they were younger, Sasuke understands Naruto's beliefs, and he thinks Naruto understands his. He acknowledges the other as an equal and as his best friend. But in order to cut ties with all his past bonds he has to kill him. It's with his insistence that they fight at the Valley of the End, where Hashirama and Madara fought long ago, and where they had fought several years before.
In the end, it's a double knock-out. Both of them lose their dominant arms. Despite this, Sasuke claims to be the loser, and he even seems relieved about it. You get the feeling from this outcome that he wanted to see once and for all which of their goals would actually win out and was actually hoping that his didn't. Either he won, and faced the rest of his difficult task alone without others trying to be his conscience, or he died there and got to be free of it all. Naruto, of course, isn't about to allow the latter, and it takes this final talk to finally get some sense into Sasuke's head.
It's hard for him to understand his teammates, and how they insist on trying to bring him back again and again. He sincerely doesn't know why he means so much to them. With Naruto, there had always been this sort of connection between them, and that had caused a sort of rivalry to form between them. But eventually, as Naruto grew stronger, Sasuke admits that he started to feel like he was just looking at someone's back again, the way he'd always felt like he was behind his brother. Naruto, meanwhile, claimed that whenever he'd seen Sasuke hurting he felt like a part of him hurt too. Both of them, in some form or another, saw each other like brothers. With this realization, Naruto's determination to come after him no matter what he did finally got to him deep down. The power of friendship wins again, etc.
We see some of his first genuine smiles in a while, the loss of his arm not even mattering to him much - and in fact he leaves the village before Tsunade can even replace it for him. He's remorseful for his actions, and feels that he needs to go on a journey of redemption because of it - to see the world now that he has a clearer perspective on it. He's even responding better to Sakura's affection, poking her forehead like his brother did to him so many times and using a similar phrase: "Maybe next time," when she asks to go with him.
Overall, Sasuke at the end of the series is friendlier than the one we've seen for most of the series, but he's still Sasuke. He won't suddenly start adding honorifics everywhere (he's always been a bit on the rude side) or develop a sudden urge to become friends with everyone, but he will be more courteous. A little wiser. A little more understanding. He's still himself, just without all the baggage and the need to be stronger than everyone. He's not walking that same dark path. Had he not gone off with Orochimaru, he may have eventually mellowed into something similar, just without all the guilt.
Most of this was set into motion after he spoke with his brother again when they fought Kabuto. It was at this point that he at least began to search for answers himself. After talking with some of the previous Hokage, he came to the conclusion that he was going to follow in his brother's path and protect the village. The way he chose to do so was just a bit skewed. His experiences were different than Naruto's. He couldn't gather up that same optimism, and he didn't trust the shinobi of the current world to be able to maintain a peaceful existence.
Unable to travel his own world upon being brought to Amoi, he may attempt to learn about other worlds with some awkwardness. He'll be less of an asshole to people at the very least. He's not the sort of person who can just settle down somewhere. (Even in the epilogue it's clear that he doesn't spend as much time at home with his wife and child as he should.) He always has to have a purpose and a goal to reach for. He'll just have to alter it again.
At this point, where I'm taking him from, he's more willing to work with others, but still has that same above-you-all attitude. That will likely forever just be a part of his nature. He's not the most friendly of people, but he doesn't have a heart of stone either. Deep down, his friendships mean something to him, and this will become more apparent the further away he gets from seeing everyone as simply tools in his own personal quest.
Sasuke prefers to be in charge, and as such will often tell others what to do even if it really isn't his place to do so. He isn't completely above taking orders from others, and he'll do what he's instructed to do by his team leader, but he doesn't care for it. He has a very demanding presence which will sometimes cause people to simply fall in line regardless.
He isn't incapable of smiling or enjoying himself. The situations he's been in just haven't allowed it for some time and he tried to leave all that behind when he left Konoha. (And when he did it was in madness and incredibly unpleasant to witness.) He takes everything very seriously - more than he really should a lot of the time, and doesn't take the feelings of others into account when he makes decisions in battle. If someone is a hindrance, then they shouldn't be trying to lend a hand as far as he's concerned.
Though his default manner is stoic, he isn't vulcan when it comes to showing emotion. He shows it all the time, anger and surprise especially, but he does his best not to be taken by either when fighting an opponent as it makes him look weak.
According to the official data books, his hobbies are training and taking walks and his favorite foods are omusubi with okaka and tomatoes, while his least favorite are natto and anything sweet.
✖ Character Powers & Skills: (I am so sorry.)
Mental skills:
Though he didn't enter or graduate from the academy any earlier than normal (as opposed to other "genius" characters like his brother and Kakashi) Sasuke is praised by many as being very intelligent for his age. He had the highest grades in his class for anything that didn't involve dealing with others. He learns quickly, faster with the Sharingan, and a lot of his techniques are self-taught. Though he copies the movies of others often, he usually takes them and improves upon them, using them as a foundation for a stronger technique.
His strengths lay in strategy and combat, and though he can do well in fields like basic mathematics and scholastics, they aren't his main focus. Pure knowledge and book studies are more in Sakura's field.
It should be noted that Sasuke has been shown to be incredibly good at learning skills from others and adapting them to his own needs. I say this because it may go against the "if it's not listed here you can't use it" rule. He obviously couldn't adapt anything that he's not physically capable of performing, but creating new moves is sort of his thing.
Taijutsu (Physical combat)
Having used basic physical combat to make up for what he lacked in some other fields, Sasuke has little trouble with it. He's not on the same level as someone like Rock Lee, who has no ability to use chakra based techniques and thus has to focus on physical fighting only, but he has incorporated a lot of the aforementioned ninja's skills into his own due to at one point having to limit the use of his own chakra. These skills were only further improved under Orochimaru's guidance, and he can keep up with basically any of the other high level ninja in the series.
His speed and reflexes are very high, and he's capable of performing what's generally called the "body flicker technique" which involves moving from one location to another faster than the human eye can follow, making it appear almost as though the person has teleported. He also has incredible stamina, lasting through several difficult fights in a row and still having a lot of raw physical strength to show for it.
Weapons
As a main weapon, Sasuke likes to use a chokutō that he refers to as the Sword of Kusanagi. Orochimaru has one of the same name, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about Sasuke's version except that it's rather durable. He uses it in straight combat as well as a means to channel lightning chakra through. When he does the latter, he can use the lightning as an extension of the blade to pierce things at greater distances as well as allow it to cut through objects it normally wouldn't be able to. If piercing an enemy with this weapon, he will often use electrical currents to stun or numb them in the process so they can't fight back. He can use the sword in either hand in both normal or reverse grip, allowing him to block from otherwise difficult angles. It can also be thrown at mid-range with great precision.
He is also well trained in the use of shuriken, both large and small. He actually uses them more than kunai, which is the common ninja staple when it comes to throwing weapons. Thin metal wire is a favorite as well, and he will sometimes use it attached to shuriken in order to tie up or deceive his enemies (as the wire is hard to see). When he uses large shuriken, they are folded up to a size nearly the length of his arm, and he is good at hiding a second one in the shadow of the first. Rigging them with wire is also possible, at which point he can shatter them to take his enemy by surprise. His accuracy is incredible, due in part to the Sharingan. He will keep weapons at the ready that he can summon via seals on bands around his wrists.
Summoning Techniques
Sasuke has pacts with both hawks and snakes, allowing him to summon large intelligent ones to come to his aid. As the creatures would be far away back in his own world, it's doubtful that such techniques could be used while he's away from his own planet. (This also makes things easier on me.) Calling forth other animals with basic summoning seals may be possible, however, as long as they're ones he's made contact with here.
Elemental Ninjutsu
Every ninja has an elemental affiliation when it comes to their chakra. Few can use more than two well, and some never even manage that. Everyone can use basic attacks for every element, but it takes being connected to one to be able to use the more powerful techniques. Sasuke has strong affiliations to both fire and lightning based chakra.
NOTE: By the end of the series, mostly because of the Rinnegan, Sasuke has the ability to use ANY non-kekkei genkai ninjutsu technique as well as any element (though he'll still lean towards the ones he knows best.) He won't be able to use any that involve hand signs without having another person help him with them as long as he only has one arm, HOWEVER learning to do jutsus one-handed has been shown to be possible in canon and by the time he's an adult (in the sequel series) he's shown to be able to do them, so if he doesn't get a replacement arm he may eventually adapt.
FIRE RELEASE - Fire techniques are a staple among members of the Leaf Village, but especially among the Uchiha clan. As a young boy, Sasuke pressured himself to learn a large fireball technique, since his brother had mastered it at an even earlier age. He manages to do it, impressing his father. That he had already gained the ability to control elemental chakra that well would later surprise his team leader Kakashi also. His known fire techniques are as follows:
Great Fireball technique: The basic fire attack and the one Sasuke learned first. The user builds up chakra and expels it through their breath to call forth a huge fireball.
Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: Like the above move, only the fire is expelled in many smaller bursts of flame. It's possible to conceal shuriken in the flames.
Dragon Fire Technique: Flames are released along some sort of conduit, like a length of wire, in order to burn the victim on the other end.
Great Dragon Fire Technique: The user compresses a large about of built up charka into a burst of flame in the shape of a dragon's head that they can control. Sasuke uses this technique at one point to create an upward movement of warm air currents which in turn create the thunder clouds necessary for his Kirin electrical attack.
BLAZE RELEASE - Sasuke has taken the black flames of Amaterasu, a fire technique using the Sharingan that his brother passed down to him, and gained the ability to manipulate them to his will. Kagutsuchi is what the direct manipulation is called. He summons the flames with his left eye and manipulates them with his right. They can be used both offensively and defensively. Like Amaterasu, the flames won't burn out until there's nothing left to burn or until Sasuke puts them out himself. They can burn anything, even other flames.
He can sync this up perfectly with Naruto's Rasengan technique, a task that would be difficult for most, creating an even more powerful attack between the both of them in the process.
LIGHTNING RELEASE - Kakashi helped Sasuke discover his second elemental affinity, which is one they share. He then passed along his main technique, which Sasuke then developed and improved upon.
Chidori: The main technique developed by Kakashi. The user builds up chakra in one hand and releases it to pierce the opponent. Most who use this technique can only manage it a couple times a day, and if not controlled properly it can cause damage to the user as well. Sasuke has honed it to perfection with different variations, allowing him to use it more than most. Despite it being a loud technique, producing a sound like many birds chirping, the speed at which it's performed usually makes the warning irrelevant.
Chidori Current: The user streams electricity through his body, using it like an offensive shield to knock back and stun attackers.
Chidori Senbon: The attack is released in the form of many senbon needles. With the accuracy allowed by the Sharingan, these can easily strike many of an opponent's vital points.
Chidori Sharp Spear: Though more often channeled through his sword, Sasuke can perform this long distance piercing technique without it. The lightning forms the shape of a long blade, and once he's hit his target he can form even more out of it to cause further damage.
Kirin: An extremely powerful lightning technique, this can be performed with very little chakra but is a one shot deal as it involves manipulating actual weather patterns. A large fire technique is used to alter the atmosphere and create thunderclouds. Kirin is formed of the actual lightning within those clouds and summoned down in the shape of a large dragon/serpent beast.
The Sharingan
A few of the more powerful members of the Uchiha clan are capable of awakening something called the Sharingan, a kekkei genkai (literally "technique limited to inheritance by blood") that allows them to perform many powerful eye techniques, or doujutsu. The eyes evolve and allow stronger techniques the more powerful the ninja becomes. They start with one tomoe in each eye and grow to a maximum of three.
The basic Sharingan gives its user greatly enhanced visual prowess. They can see things the moment they happen, allowing for the user to react at a speed that makes it seem as though they knew what their opponent was going to do ahead of time. They can also copy the techniques of others, provided that they're physically capable of performing it themselves. Sasuke's Sharingan is powerful enough that he was able to match what some others were capable of with the Mangekyo before he even had it.
He can use genjutsu, or illusionary techniques, in order to trick opponents. He can freeze enemies with a look, and send visions that will shock their system. He can hypnotize targets to restrict their movements, and relay his own memories to the minds of others. He's been shown to be capable of overriding most other genjutsus or mind techniques used on him, even so far as to trap Orochimaru's soul rather than let the other take over his body. He can subjugate the tailed beasts, creatures of immense chakra, even going so far as to enter Naruto's mind to suppress the nine-tail's chakra. Large summoned creatures are also not beyond his ability to control.
MANGEKYO SHARINGAN - The Mangekyo is unlocked when a Sharingan user witnesses the death of the one closest to them. The shape of the iris completely changes. In Sasuke's case, the look of his is referred to as a straight tomoe type. It gives him an even greater ability to read his opponents movements and fluidly act upon them. After transplanting Itachi's eyes into his own sockets, Sasuke gained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which allows him to use the abilities provided by the Mangekyo without worrying about suffering the usual deteriorating effects such techniques provide.
When Itachi died, he passed on some of his own eye techniques to his brother. These include Amaterasu, black flames that burn anything they touch, including other fire, until there's nothing left to burn or they're put out by the user. Sasuke would later incorporate this into Blaze Release, allowing him to easily control and shape the flames. However, he did not inherit his brother's ability to use the Tsukuyomi, so while his genjutus are powerful he can't alter anyone's perception of space and time.
SUSANO'O - One of the greatest techniques allowed by the Mangekyo Sharinga is Susano'o, a shield of chakra that can also act offensively. Sasuke's is purple in color. It can be used in various strengths, from something that's no more than a ribcage to a form that's basically a golem, the form of an armored man with more than two arms. Sasuke's full form has developed wings, giving it the ability to fly. When in the complete form, the ninja is ensconced in a jewel on the forehead and Susano'o is several meters high. Sasuke has perfected the ability to use Blaze Release while in this form, and he can create a sword as well as magatama shaped projectiles from the black flames. Having used a bow and arrow as a child, he has incorporated such a weapon into his Susano'o also, from which he can shoot highly accurate arrows tipped with Amaterasu's black flames.
RINNEGAN - Recently, thanks to the influence of the Sage of the Six Paths, Sasuke has developed the Rinnegan (the final form of the Sharingan) in his left eye. His has six tomoe in it, as opposed to Madara/Obito/Nagato's which had none.
The eye retains all the abilities of his Mangekyo, including the Amaterasu, and increases the strength of his genjutsu, allowing him to control several creatures at once. There are many techniques shown by other Rinnegan users that Sasuke himself hasn't used yet but should be able to. It gives the user the ability to use any chakra element and any technique, making Sasuke one of a small few who has that sort of ability, Naruto being another.
As powerful as it is, it can only take so many strong techniques before needing to be closed and recharged. The rinnegan can be deactivated, but Sasuke is still figuring that out. When very low on chakra, the tomoe are absent.
Sasuke's Rinnegan in particular is very good at countering techniques particular to other Rinnegan users, such as seeing shadows brought into Madara's invisible dimension and avoiding the affects of chakra receivers.
-- TECHNIQUES THAT SASUKE HAS USED IN CANON
The Deva Path: One of the Six Paths. It allows the user to manipulate both attractive and repulsive forces. This also allows for the use of the Chibaku Tensei sealing techniques.
The Preta Path: One of the Six Paths. Grants the user the ability to drain chakra. Nagato required a special seal for this, but Sasuke seems to be able to do it through touch alone. As those not from his world don't have the same form of chakra as they do, draining energy might not be as effective. Even if chakra is essentially made up of the physical and spiritual energies of a person.
Amenotejikara: A technique developed by Sasuke. It allows him to shift himself, others, and objects, a set distance away from his original location. He can increase the distance by switching places with another object. This is an incredibly quick technique and too many uses in a row will cause him to need to close his eye and recharge the Rinnegan.
Indra's Arrow: His most powerful technique, only usable by a fully formed Susano'o after absorbing a large amount of chakra. It produces a bow and arrow made of lightning. (He can also create large chidori senbon that aren't quite at the same level of strength.)
-- TECHNIQUES THAT SASUKE HASN'T USED IN CANON BUT COULD
The Asura Path: One of the Six Paths. Allows the user to manipulate mechanised limbs, weaponry and armour.
The Human Path: One of the Six Paths. Gives the user the ability to remove a person's soul and so, read a person's mind.
The Animal Path: One of the Six Paths. Lets the user summon a wide variety of creatures. For Sasuke, these would have to be animals he found and controlled himself, stored away in a separate dimension.
The Naraka Path: One of the Six Paths. Allows the user to summon the King of Hell. This can be used for interrogation or for healing the wounded by storing one inside its mouth.
Techniques that are more directly connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, as well as ones devised specifically by Madara (since most of the Rinnegan users we see in canon are just using Madara's eyes) are not likely to be used by Sasuke. This includes anything involving chakra control rods, as they originate from the Statue itself.
Other Items of note
Just in general, Sasuke has some of the most powerful chakra in the series. Other characters remark on it often. This is due in part to the fact that he is the reincarnation of Indra, a grandson to the woman who had brought charka to humans in the first place.
His training with Orochimaru has also made him immune or at least highly resistant to most poisons. This may not apply to those from other worlds as their composition may be completely different.
He was once the bearer of a Cursed Seal, giving him a cursed form he could change into, and for a while he also had many of Orochimaru's abilities since he'd essentially absorbed him. Both of these skill sets were removed with Itachi pulled Orochimaru's soul from him.
CHARACTER SAMPLES.
✖ First Person POV: TDM top level
- thread with Naruto (example requirements)
- with Vegeta (extra example, shorter posts)
✖ Third Person POV: (NOTE: As his canon sample was already included in his original application, this sample only exists for re-app purposes. The original scenario hasn't been retconned.)
The feel of cool metal in his hand was comforting only as long as it took for the surface to warm from contact with his skin. It occurred to Sasuke, as he glanced down at the cloth from the bandanna batting lightly against his pant leg, that he should probably tuck that away. He only had one arm. It wouldn't do to keep it occupied even with something so sentimental.
That's what the headband was, after all. Pure sentimentality. He couldn't exactly wear it, as the strike through the leaf symbol in the middle, however it had been created, was still indicative of his previous stint as a missing-nin. It wouldn't show any positive connection to his village, if he can really call it his village. Naruto would insist he should, and he'll return to it eventually. That's one thing he can do that his brother had originally hoped for. Maybe one day he'll even be able to see it as home again, but right now he needs some time away from it. He has to clear his head, see the world through unclouded eyes for a change and decide what to do with his life.
He's cinching the headband at his waist when he catches sight of something ahead. A merchant has set up a cart along the side of the road. There he has baskets of fresh fruit laid out, and the warm breeze sends their enticing aromas down the ninja's path. As he nears, he stops to look, intending to only stay a moment. The lone man behind the display grins at him with about two-thirds the usual amount of teeth.
"See anything you like?"
Having not intended to buy anything, Sasuke just shakes his head. The vendor, of course, presses the issue as a salesman does. However, the conversation doesn't go the way the ninja had anticipated it would. Instead of going on about how sweet and juicy his stocks were, or prattling on about their quality, the man doesn't mention anything more about the fruit at all. Instead, what he says is: "I can offer you other things, you know. Answers. Questions. The opportunity to see those you wouldn't even be able to see otherwise."
Sasuke's eyes narrow at this, and as the man laughs he draws out his sword, holding it at arms length, inches from the vendor's chin.
"Peddle your fruit or be quiet. I'm not in the mood for games."
The man reaches a hand out and rubs a thumb along the edge of the blade, easily slicing a shallow incision in his skin where a drop of blood begins to seep to the surface. "Sharp." He licks the blood free of the wound before dropping his arm back to his side. "And I'm not here to waste your time. There's nothing false in my offer."
"I still don't even know what you're offering." The blade is lowered only slightly. Sasuke hates when people aren't straightforward.
The man leans against the back of his stand, the movement knocking an apple off the front row and into the grass where it goes ignored. "You want to keep this world at peace, don't you? Isn't that your goal?"
"Who are you?" This is snapped harshly. He can't read this man's chakra, so at least in that much he can tell it isn't someone like Orochimaru, but if anything that puts his mind even less at ease.
"Answer the question."
"Yes. Now answer mine."
The man only shrugs. "I'm not a fruit vendor, I'll tell you that much. I'm from somewhere beyond here. Someone who's been watching you. And I'm here to offer you a way to protect your world from other people like me." His arms are crossed slowly over his chest. "I'm approaching you because I know you have the ability to do so. I'll tell you more only if you accept this responsibility. Do you?"
Despite his misgivings, those are the right words to say. The sword is lowered all the way and resheathed at Sasuke's side. He doesn't trust this man, and he has no reason to believe anything he says, but taking the responsibility of his nation's well-being upon himself is something he was willing to do in the past, and something he's still ready to do now. This time, perhaps, he'll let Naruto in on things eventually.
"Yes." He agrees, and unfortunately with that he doesn't get the opportunity to tell anyone anything.
CHARACTER ITEMS.
✖ Pick a Team: 1) RED. Sasuke did well in Red before, and it best fits his personality and goals. He needs the sense of duty it gives him. He also liked Dagger and hates Honey, so it will be fun for me. 2) YELLOW. I like a more focused defense group aside from green's front line fighters and Sasuke's fighting style is just as much defense as it is offense. Also, the importance of protecting others is something he's still learning and adjusting to since so much of his life has been straightforward vengeance.
✖ Reason for Joining the CDC: Well, he believed he would die, and the CDC offered him the chance to live. As long as he lives, he has a chance of getting back to his own world and accomplishing his goals, even if he's not entirely sure of those goals anymore. He's just set himself on a new path and he'll be damned if he's kept from it. Sasuke is particularly overconfident when it comes to some things, and he's certain that he'll be able to use this organization to his advantage somehow. Perhaps he'll learn some skills from others here while he's at it - as he'll never pass up the opportunity to get stronger. He doesn't care for wiping out other sentient species and he'll try to twist the rules when he can, but the truth of the matters is that his own world means more to him than any of the ones they're set to destroy.
✖ Mission Freebie: Substantial proof that his homeworld is safe. Something that can't be fabricated.
✖ Personal Item or Weapon: This isn't exactly from their homeworld, but Dagger gave Sasuke a fan made of blades when he was in the game before and I'd like him to keep that.
✖ Character Inventory:Sasuke would be wearing his typical black outfit as well as Itachi's necklace that he found among the slime. He also has his village headband, which he's shown later in canon to wear at his waist, but if that's too much to count as a wearable item he can get it back later through other means.
