Sharingan • 写輪眼

The Sharingan is the Bloodline Limit of the Uchiha Clan. It is not awakened by the user by birth, and is usually done so due to an emotional or stressful situation.

For Sasuke, it was defending his teammate, Naruto, from being impaled by too many Senbon needles. Well, that was to his understanding, the first time he had awakened it. In actuality, Sasuke awoke his Sharingan during the night of the Uchiha Massacre. However, due to what is to be believed the usage of Itachi's Mangekyou and the stress of that night, Sasuke completely repressed memory of that moment.

The Sharingan's ability are, to put it bluntly, the following:

• Being able to see the flow and "color" of chakra
• Able to tell the difference between reality and genjutsu, and if another person has been affected by genjutsu by their chakra flow
• Able to pick up even the smallest details, such as pencil movements or lip movements
• Depending on the number of tomoe the user has, it can predict quick movements
• Capable of allowing the user to quickly memorize jutsus that have been witnessed, save for other bloodline limits.
• Also allows the user to memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, and use them how they see fit (i.e.: Sasuke's Shishi Rendan, Lee's Konoha Senpuu, etc.)
• Capable of casting hypnosis on someone to be able to suggest thoughts and actions to them via simple eye contact.

Continued usage of the Sharingan over a period of time starts to deteriorates the user's eye sight, and only accelerates it if the user possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hayabusa Otoshi • ハヤブサ落とし

While above his opponent at an elevated position, Sasuke grabs his opponent from behind, firmly locking himself to their back while his ankles lock just above their neck. Then, both Sasuke and his opponent go crashing down - opponent head first - to the ground. Can be potentially deadly, and more often than not concussion-inducing.

Konoha Dai Senpuu • 木ノ葉大旋風

Flat out stolen from Rock Lee. A stronger version than Konoha Senpuu, and uses one's speed to deliver a series of spinning kicks to the opponent.

Konoha Senpuu • 木ノ葉旋風

Stolen from Rock Lee. Uses both speed and a roundhouse kick within attacking range.

Shishi Rendan • 獅子連弾

A variant of Rock Lee's Frontal Lotus. Uses extensive speed get underneath an opponent to kick them into the air. Then, Sasuke uses the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf technique to get underneath the airborne opponent. That's where the similarities between Lee's Lotus and Sasuke's Shishi Rendan end. Because when Sasuke fought Lee, the Lotus went unfinished, Sasuke made the rest of it up, first by using a feint that is easily blocked if he is unable to make a clean blow. Otherwise, it's just a series of various kicks in no specific order that result with the opponent being violently knocked to the ground by a kick to the chest.

It's Sasuke most famous technique, but because of the toll it takes on his body with the final blow more times than not being right above solid ground, he doesn't use it very often.

Shishi Rendan & Chidori Combo • 獅子連弾 & 千鳥

Combination of Shishi Rendan and Chidori, with the latter being used during the finishing blow.

→ ninjutsu

Bunshin no Jutsu • 分身の術

Basic technique learned by everyone that goes through Konoha's Ninja Academy. Creates an illusionary double of the user. Usually is dispelled when the clone comes into contact with someone or something.

Chidori • 千鳥 •

Taught to by Kakashi. Draws chakra into the left hand, and the amount is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The high concentration of lightning-based energy gives off the sound of a thousand birds chirping, hence the name "chidori." Sasuke uses both his Sharingan and speed in order to charge at the opponent - in a straight line - and should the attack hit, it's a fatal one. During his fight with Itachi, Sasuke practically knocked out an entire wall and floor to one of the hotel rooms with his chidori.

However, since Chidori consumes a large amount of chakra from its user, Sasuke can only successfully perform three shots. If he forces a forth, his seal will kick in and render him unable to fight further. Furthermore, using too much chakra with the attack has been known to peel of a layer of skin from Sasuke's hand and, though rarely, cause burns.

Chidori Nagashi • 千鳥流し •

Variant of Chidori. Instead of using his hand as a release for chidori, Sasuke uses his entire body as a medium for the electrical discharge. This allows him to be able to hit more than one enemy had a time, and don't require him to move. While not as strong as his canon's counter-part's, it can still give off the feeling of being hit by lightning and mess with the body's electrical system.

Sasuke can use this - as long as he does not use any other variants - six times a day. He can also channel this chidori through his sword and has been known to do so in order to strengthen weaker, more flimsy blades.

Henge no Jutsu • 変化の術

Basic academy-level ninjutsu. User gathers chakra and transforms themselves into either another person or an object. It can only be seen through by the Byakuygan and Sharingan.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu • 影分身の術

Like the Bunshin no Jutsu, it creates a duplicate of the user. However, unlike the ordinary Bunshin no Jutsu, these clones are solid. Because of that, they take up much more chakra. They are dispelled whenever hit, and can transfer information from the clone to the original once a clone is either forcefully dismissed or dismissed by the user. Additionally, because of this, it also benefits the user to use shadow clones while training.

Sasuke's maximum at one time is five-ten solid clones.

Kage Shuriken no Jutsu • 影手裏剣の術

Uses a Fuuma Shuriken, two Fuuma Shuriken are thrown at the opponent in succession, one slightly below the other to give off the illusion that only one was thrown. When and if the first is dodged, the second can take advantace of the opponent's momentary surprise.

Katon · Goukakyuu no Jutsu • 火遁・豪火球の術 •

The most basic fire ninjutsu there is. Sasuke learned it at the age of seven, to show that he had "come of age," and was worthy to be Uchiha Fugaku's son. Sasuke converts his chakra into fire, gathering it in his chest. The intensity of the fireball is controlled by the amount of chakra used before being released through the mouth. Usually, Sasuke uses a ring from his fingers as a guide, but he has been known to use this jutsu without it; same can be said of Itachi as well.

Katon · Gouryuuka no Jutsu • 火遁・豪龍火の術 •

Taught by Fugaku. Just like with Goukakyuu, Sasuke gathers a large amount of chakra within his chest, but instead of just releasing a big, giant round fireball, it's manipulated to the the shape of a dragon's head. It's very powerful, as the flames have a very high temperature, and has the capability to draw thunder clouds.

At the moment, Sasuke can only perform this technique once successfully.

Katon · Housenka no Jutsu • 火遁・鳳仙火の術 •

Basically a smaller, more numerical version of Goukakyu. Shuriken can also be inserted into the smaller fireballs as a secondary surprise attack. More often than not, these smaller fireballs go off wildly in any direction, making dodging them a little more difficult.

Katon · Ryuuka no Jutsu • 火遁・龍火の術 •

With the aid of wire to trap his opponent to use as a guide, Sasuke uses this technique as a type of missile or other projectile weapon to attack the opponent's upper body. Once released, the jutsu takes the form of a dragon as it descends upon its victim.

Kawarimi no Jutsu • 変わり身の術

Basic ninjutsu. User uses a near-by object or even an innocent bystander to take their place. Allows for the user to either hide or escape.

Nawanuke no Jutsu • 縄抜けの術

Very basic jutsu that allows the user to escape from rope bindings.

Sharingan Soufuusha Sannotachi • 操風車三ノ大刀

Utilizing the Sharingan, the user sends three Fuuma Shuriken with attached wire that are used to manipulate the shuriken to surround the opponent, easily tying them up with the wire.

→ kinjutsu

Cursed Seal of Heaven • 天の呪印

Given to by Orochimaru. It is apparently the strongest cursed seal, and chances of survival are 10% after receiving the seal. Like a fuller matured Sharingan, it consists of three tomoe. When activated, the tomoe spread over the user's body and take on an appearance of flames.

The seal, when activated, forces the user's body to use more chakra, which obviously puts a strain on the body. Continued usage, over time, will cause the user to lose their free will, and once that happens, the user is nothing more than one of Orochimaru's puppets. In Sasuke's case, his new body.

At this time, of the two levels that can be achieved through the cursed seal, Sasuke can only achieve Level One. This gives him enhanced power and chakra levels for a time, and the seal is only able to spread itself across his skin slowly, as opposed to quickly with a Level Two.

In order to keep the Cursed Seal in check, Kakashi placed a seal on it. This seal - called "Evil Suppression" - reacts to only Sasuke's will. If he wants to use the Cursed Seal willingly, it will not interfere. If he does not, then it will kick it and keep the Cursed Seal from taking over, unless Sasuke has tried to use too much of his chakra at once, and at which case, the Cursed Seal will activate anyway, and render Sasuke incapable of defending himself, and at times has been known to render Sasuke pretty much completely immobile as well.
