Sasuke Uchiha has always been an important part of the Naruto series. In fact, it can be said that Sasuke is as important as Naruto Uzumaki in the full story. Kishimoto has previously commented on the importance of this character, saying that Sasuke sees Sasuke as the other half of Naruto, and that the development of these two characters together makes them. Naruto very exciting.

Of course, this places Sasuke as one of the strongest characters in the series, and by the end of Naruto, he has certainly achieved that status. In fact, he came home to surpass Madara, and it was something most of his fans didn't expect.

Sasuke's destiny as one of the children of the prophecy

• Sasuke had a hand in saving the world
• Sasuke gained half of the power of the Sage Of Six Paths

Sasuke being born into the Uchiha family was already a blessing to him. The Uchiha's are blessed with the power of the Sharingan, and their chakra is extremely powerful. The Uchiha are the most powerful shinobi clan fans have seen in the entire Naruto series, and it's no surprise to learn that Sasuke being born into it has given him special privileges. That said, the Uchiha are not world conquerors. They also need to train and gain great power, which is why Sasuke didn't achieve greatness on his first day as a ninja.

When it comes to talent, he is even greater than Itachi! – Orochimaru

While the Uchiha strives for power, the strength he gains can only come through tragedy, which is ironic, because his greatest desire is to protect his loved ones. The Uchiha love so much that losing that love allows them to gain greater power. The fact that Sasuke lost everything at such a young age meant that he turned that grief into his strength, which explains why he became as strong as he was. Sasuke's journey in the beginning of Naruto saw him gain the power of the Sharingan, and then master this power to perfection. In the first half, Sasuke went on to achieve two tomoe Sharingan, and after his quest for power led him to seek out Orochimaru, he obtained three tomoe Sharingan.

During the timeline, Sasuke trained under the Sannin and was even given drugs to boost his growth. This is why Sasuke came out of the timeskip stronger than Naruto, and at that moment he was ready to take out Itachi. Unbeknownst to Sasuke, Itachi was actually protecting him all this time and the grief caused by this loss led to his strength growing even more. The power of hatred ignites the Uchiha blood and this hatred is welling up in Sasuke. At one point, Sasuke was controlled by the darkness, but, after Itachi Uchiha's intervention in the Fourth World War, Sasuke managed to gain enough wisdom and decide for himself what he wanted. first of all. It was at this point that Sasuke's role as the Son of Prophecy was written in the series.

I will kill the five Kage that led the world to this moment. – Sasuke Uchiha

At first, fans believed that Naruto Uzumaki was the only child of the prophecy. But, as the series of stories about the Sage of Six Paths and the Son of Prophecy unfolded, it became clear that the Reincarnations of Indra and Ashura who had come together were going to save the world. Like Naruto, Sasuke was also a child of the Prophecy and he felt it in battle. Sasuke, having caught the eye of Itachi, wanted to become the Hokage of the city, and, regardless of his goal, decided to help a lot in the fight against Madara. After meeting Hagoromo, he received the Rinnegan, and with it, the Power of the Six Paths. This put him on a completely different level and eventually allowed him to match even the likes of Madara in power.

How does Sasuke's strength compare to Madara's in battle

Sasuke Uchiha was almost as strong as Madara during the war

Sasuke's strength was not far off compared to Madara's at first. Of course, when Sasuke still had the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the two were nowhere close in strength. In fact, even without his eyes, Madara was able to beat him, and without help, Sasuke would surely die. But, he survived this ordeal and met the Sage of Six Paths, gaining the Rinnegan. When Sasuke came back from there, he was a completely different person. He collided with a stronger version of Madara, who, at this point, gathered the ten tails inside him, and became extremely powerful. He even took the God Tree, and despite that, Sasuke was able to match him in battle. Sasuke's speed was so impressive that even Madara couldn't escape being separated from him, and with Naruto, he was easily able to defeat him. This caused a stronger enemy in the form of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Both Naruto and Sasuke struggled in the fight against Kaguya, but in the end, it only took a few hits. As Naruto and Sasuke fight it is clear that Sasuke has not yet gained full control of his Rinnegan. It was only after many additional battles that Sasuke began to strengthen his control over that eye and learn how to use it properly.

It can be said that during the war, Sasuke was not stronger than Madara. He was still an unfinished product and his mastery of the Rinnegan was only growing. He can definitely match Madara in a fight and hold his own, even in a long fight where he pushes Madara on the back foot. However, defeating him would be very difficult at the time and this was due to Sasuke's lack of eye control. As Sasuke trained more and more over the years, he certainly grew to Madara's level and beyond.

Adult Sasuke's Power In Boruto

Sasuke is on a completely different level of strength in Boruto

Sasuke's powers as an adult in the Boruto the series was much larger than Madara Uchiha's. This is clear from the fact that Sasuke is strong enough to compete with Otsutsuki on his own Boruto series. The likes of Momoshiki, who were superior to Madara's power, were easily taken in by Sasuke and given a hard time. Of course, Sasuke still hadn't defeated Momoshiki, but, it also had to be remembered that taking eight people to another dimension had damaged his power and probably reduced it. If Sasuke had done his best, he would have been able to easily take care of Momoshiki.

Furthermore, Kishimoto clearly states that Sasuke and Naruto are the same adults Boruto season, and considering that both of them have grown more, it is clear from the story that Sasuke has surpassed Madara at this point in Boruto. However, things have changed drastically since Sasuke lost his Rinnegan and now he is weaker than Madara. Sasuke's future is still unknown and he is able to regain great power.

Boruto is available on Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free on Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date of the next Boruto chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 17, is December 20, 2024.
