Sasuke is highly trained in hand-to-hand combat, with reflexes honed to split-second reactions. He is also capable of superhuman strength in his strikes, punching through rock and knocking opponents flying back many meters. His fight style is nigh-gymnastic, needlessly showy and featuring flips and jumps alike, and he’s trained his body to be incredibly fast. This speed is regularly confused in the manga with actual teleportation.
Basic ninjutsu/chakra control:
Henge no jutsu/Transformation: allows the user to disguise him or herself as another person or object.
Bunshin no jutsu/Cloning: the user forms one or more clones of him or herself
Kawarimi no jutsu/Substitution: the user swaps their body with another object prior to an attack in order to escape it unharmed
Shinobi also have the ability to manipulate their chakra flow to allow them several other boons. These include affixing themselves to objects, which allows them to climb up walls, hang from ceilings, or even walk on water, and using chakra in bursts of energy to enhance their jumps.
ELEMENTAL JUTSU:
Of the five basic elements that shinobi utilize through “nature transformation” of their chakra, Sasuke has a natural inclination towards two: fire and electricity. Fire techniques are a staple of the Uchiha clan in particular and consist typically of the ninja breathing it out in a variety of attacks. Sasuke can shape this fire, as is evidenced by the dragon-like appearance of one of his jutsu, and also likes to guide his flames along razor wire or conceal shrunken within them for a dual attack.
Sasuke also possesses control over electricity, a form of nature transformation with which he is much more flexible. He molds these jutsu into a wide variety of shapes, something that is remarked upon as unusual and requiring considerable skill. Examples include stretching his normal Chidori (a straight jab with an arm coated in electrical energy) several meters to strike at a distance, condensing this energy into small senbon which he throws like darts, and even utilizing the energy of a thunderstorm to control a bolt of lightning and force it to take the shape of a dragon.
DOUJUTSU:
Sharingan:
The Uchiha have a unique hereditary technique called the sharingan, an eye-based power or doujutsu. When the sharingan is active the user's eyes appear red and dotted with one to three tomoe, depending on mastery, and it has a number of inherent abilities. First, the user can see chakra clearly. This means that they can see someone's true form if they are using a henge, can see if someone is a bunshin or an actual person, and can clearly differentiate between chakras from different sources. Second, the sharingan offers enhanced visual perception. The user can read slight muscle twitches and chakra fluctuations to even predict how an opponent is going to move, allowing them to respond extremely quickly to attacks and suss out complex high-speed movements. Third, the sharingan has the ability to both cast powerful genjutsu and to break them, giving the user a way to escape and see through illusions. These sharingan illusions are unique in that they can allow a user to directly enter a victim's subconscious and interact with them. This can also be used to extra or relay information, and hypnotize an opponent. Finally, and most importantly, the sharingan has the ability to copy any physical motion it sees. While this enables someone with the sharingan to perfectly mimic handwriting or fight styles, for a shinobi it's even more significant because it automatically copies any jutsu it sees as well (with the notable exception of genetic techniques such as kekkei genkai or jutsu that the user physically just cannot use).
Mangekyou Sharingan:
An advanced form of the sharingan, the mangekyou exists both in its regular form and its eternal form, both of which Sasuke possesses. The first ability of the mangekyou is Amaterasu, a black flame which burns incredibly hot, is especially difficult to put out, and which ignites whatever the user looks at. The second is Susanoo, a monstrous warrior composed entirely of chakra which can be used as a powerful shield or to attack. Sasuke can summon Susanoo either in full or in part (he defends himself by enclosing himself just in its ribcage, for example), and his is also outfitted with a bow and arrows. In addition to these powers each mangekyou user has one power that is entirely specific to the individual. Sasuke's is the ability to manipulate the flames of Amaterasu, to put it out or force it to take new shapes. Primarily he chooses to coat Susanoo in Amaterasu as a further precaution and offensive tactic.
Rinnegan:
The final doujutsu Sasuke has access to is the rinnegan. The main set of abilities attributable to the rinnegan are known collectively as the Six Paths Technique and the ones he has access to in Mask or Menace are as follows:
- Deva Path: the user controls attractive and repulsive forces, allowing them to push someone or something away from them or draw them in close
- Preta Path: the user can absorb chakra from jutsu directed at them or from contact with other sources
The rinnegan also has several other properties. Furthermore, anyone who's mastered the rinnegan can create and use chakra receivers which allow them to transfer their energy to anyone -- or anything -- with one of the receivers embedded. Finally, Sasuke's rinnegan also allows him to teleport by exchanging his place with that of another object.
EXTRAS:
Bukijutsu:
Sasuke utilizes a wide variety of shinobi weaponry over the course of the series. Like most ninja he’s outfitted with and trained in the utilization of shuriken and kunai, though he has several others he also uses which are unique to him. These include a large fuuma shuriken that he occasionally rigs to detach its blades for a secondary attack, razor wire, and a chokuto which he wields ambidextrously.
