Sasuke's Story
Sasuke is part of the Uchiha Clan. This was one of the strongest ninja families in the village of Konoha. When Sasuke was a young boy, he saw his older brother, Itachi Uchiha, kill their parents. Itachi told Sasuke that he had also killed all the other clan members. He said he did this to test his own strength as a ninja. Itachi spared Sasuke's life, saying it wasn't worth taking.
After this, Sasuke lived a lonely life. He felt a lot of hatred and wanted to get revenge by killing his brother. But these feelings started to change when he became friends with Naruto Uzumaki. This happened after they both finished Ninja Academy. They worked together in a team as "Genin," which means rookie ninjas. Naruto showed Sasuke what friendship and teamwork were like.
Leaving Konoha
Sasuke's friendship with Naruto changed when he met his brother Itachi again. After fighting Itachi, Sasuke realized he wasn't strong or smart enough to defeat him yet. Because of this, Sasuke left Naruto and Konoha. He went to Orochimaru, who was one of the main bad guys in the series. Sasuke wanted to learn advanced ninja skills and become much stronger. Orochimaru taught him a powerful, secret ninja technique. This special power helped Sasuke become incredibly strong.
Eventually, Sasuke fought and defeated his older brother. But then he learned a shocking truth. The order to kill the Uchiha Clan came from the elders of Konoha. They believed the clan was threatening the village's peace. Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill his little brother because he loved Sasuke too much. To make sure Sasuke would become strong enough to protect himself, Itachi made Sasuke believe he was a villain. This made Sasuke angry and want revenge, which pushed him to get stronger.
A New Goal
After hearing the truth about his brother, Sasuke became very angry at Konoha. He decided he would destroy the village. The Naruto story is still going on, and Sasuke's adventures continue. The story now focuses on Naruto and Sasuke meeting again. Their goals are very different: Naruto wants to protect Konoha, but Sasuke plans to destroy it.
