Introduction
Well, hey there everyone. I've made a similar thread regarding Tobi ( ), and I've decided to make one on Sasuke. I'm making it because some people severely underrate Sasuke, which shouldn't really happen a lot. So yeah, the format will be the same as my other thread.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke's qualities, powers, and abilities

1. Intelligence
Back in the day, we saw Sasuke involved in a couple of fights. They really displayed his intelligence, but many of us seem to have forgotten how smart he really is. In fact, Sasuke is extremely smart; smart enough to fool Deidara, Danzo, and Itachi. That's a pretty smart list of people too. Here are some of Sasuke's intelligence feats:

1. We all know he was a prodigy, fitting of the Uchiha name. Sasuke was considered one of the smartest, if not the smartest, students in the Academy, for obvious reasons. He mastered the Fireball Jutsu at 10 or 12 years old, showing how smart he is. Even Kakashi was impressed:

2. He really studied up on Orochimaru's techniques. No one should go into battle unprepared, and Sasuke knows that:

3. He has the Sharingan, giving him an advantage in fights. He can detect people's movements and Chakra natures, giving him advantages in fights. And he uses those advantages, showing his intelligence.

4. He fooled Itachi into going outside, and into heating up the sky for Kirin:

5. He used Enton to protect himself from Raikage. That was a smart move on Sasuke's part.

In conclusion, Sasuke is a pretty damn smart guy. There's a lot more panels I can include, but there's just too many. But he's a genius fitting of the Uchiha name.

Read more:

2. Physical Strength
Throughout the series, Sasuke has shown a few feats of strength. Though minimal, each one shows us that Sasuke has at least above average strength. Examples:

1. Lifting Naruto up with one hand:

2. Slinging and carrying Bee over his shoulder:

3. His punches on Naruto in general. Come on, he physically whooped Naruto's ass at the Valley of the End.

In conclusion, Sasuke has at least above average physical strength, as shown above.

3. Speed
Sasuke is one fast guy. He can use the "Body Flicker" technique, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, here's a panel showing his speed, which was praised by a Jounin (Yamato):

And another panel, being praised by Deidara:

In conclusion, that one panel alone shows how fast Sasuke is. No one even noticed him move until he was right in front of Naruto.

4. Taijutsu
Sasuke is very adept in Taijutsu. He was able to copy Lee's fighting style, and his speed only enhances it even more. Sasuke is no slouch in Taijutsu, and he can match some of the best, such as Lee. Examples:

1. He's just as fast as Lee without his weights (Part 1 Sasuke, mind you). This gives him a nice advantage in Taijutsu.

You must be registered for see images


2. He landed a hit on Gaara in the first few seconds, due to his speed and Taijutsu accompanying each other quite nicely.

You must be registered for see images


3. He took out 1000 (or 100?) ninjas without a single scratch. And he didn't kill any of them, pointing out that he most likely raped with Taijutsu.

You must be registered for see images


In conclusion, Sasuke is one of the better Taijutsu users in the series, but not near the best (Gai, etc). There's probably a lot of panels I'm missing (I'm lazy) so point any of them out to me if you wish. But yeah, don't mess with Sasuke in Taijutsu (unless you're Itachi and/or the other top dogs).

5. Ninjutsu
Sasuke is a great Ninjutsu user. He has two Chakra natures, and he knows how to use them to their best potential. He's made some pretty damn good Ninjutsu using his Katon and Raiton. Examples:

1. His Chidori manipulation is amazing. Using it, he has a lot of great Chidori variants. Examples:

Chidori Current - Electrocutes anyone around him
You must be registered for see images


Chidori Senbon - A great counter to multiple objects at once
You must be registered for see images


Chidori Sharp Spear - Chidori on a stick! A great piercing move
You must be registered for see images


2. Sasuke is skilled in Fire Release. He has a lot of powerful variants to it. Examples:

Great Dragon Fire Technique - Extremely destructive
You must be registered for see images


Phoenix Sage Fire Technique - Hits multiple targets
You must be registered for see images


3. Kirin gets its own section. Its an extremely powerful Ninjutsu, and Sasuke created it and is capable of using it.

You must be registered for see images


In conclusion, Sasuke has a great arsenal of Ninjutsu. Most of his Ninjutsu are powerful enough to cause explosions and/or other destructive damage. A powerufl Ninjutsu user indeed.

6. Genjutsu
Though arguably not his best category, Sasuke is still a good Genjutsu user. He can use it to find out information, to trick people, or to break people's wills (at a lower level than Itachi). Example's of each:

1. Finding out information:

You must be registered for see images


2. Tricking people:

You must be registered for see images


3. Breaking wills/Paralyzing people:

You must be registered for see images


So yeah, Sasuke is now Genjutsu slouch. He has the potential to be as good as Itachi in this category.

7. Doujutsu
Sharingan
Sasuke can use the basic Sharingan to read people's movements and to sense Chakra and Chakra Nature (through reading handseals). Not bad at all.

(Eternal) Mangekyou Sharingan
Boy oh boy. Sasuke is a really good user of the EMS/MS. I already talked about Genjutsu above, so I'll only talk about Susanoo and Amaterasu (Blaze Release) here.

1. Susanoo:

Let me get something straight. Sasuke does not have the same ribcage that he used against A. He now has a perfect Susanoo, and its defense is probably extremely high now.

His current Susanoo:

Proof of its physical offense:

Proof of its defense:

Susanoo Arrows
Susanoo Arrows are extremely fast, and they have great piercing power. They're hard to avoid, and therefore make Sasuke's Susanoo all the more deadlier. Here are some examples:

It had to be deflected through Mokuton

It's piercing capabilities are very high
You must be registered for see images


And its very fast; Kakashi had to warp them with Kamui
You must be registered for see images


2. Amaterasu (Blaze Release)

Sasuke can use Amaterasu just like Itachi. He focuses on the target, causing Amaterasu to appear on it. Its extremely deadly. Here's an example of Sasuke using an average Amaterasu:

You must be registered for see images


But that's not all. Sasuke has awakened Blaze Release. Now he can manipulate Amaterasu, making it all the more deadlier. Examples:

Using it protect himself
You must be registered for see images


Using it as on offensive/defensive
You must be registered for see images


Shooting fast and powerful Amaterasu discs
You must be registered for see images


In conclusion, Sasuke is very skilled in using the MS (EMS). He has a perfect Susanoo (an extreme rarity), decent Genjutsu (he can use it well), and Blaze Release (not even Itachi has it). At this rate, he'll surpass even Itachi, if he hasn't already.

8. Chakra/Stamina
I'm too lazy to go deep into this, but Sasuke has some pretty good stamina and chakra reserves. He spammed MS throughout the whole Kage summit, and outlasted (sick) Itachi and also Deidara. Not bad.

Conclusion
So yeah. Sasuke is a very powerful, intelligent, and skilled ninja. I don't see why people underrate him, as he can easily match some of the top ninja. He's near the Top 10, if not already near the bottom Top 10. Feel free to discuss and criticize below.

DISCLAIMER: I was pretty lazy, so I didn't use a lot of panels. Feel free to post some for me to include.

Lol, Dantee stop overestimating your abilities. Anyways great threat. You should of add that he fights with injuries and has fought opponents with little chakra in his disposal. But the Kage summit is definitely one great example of Sasuke being powerful!

I agree, except in taijutsu. He is far from the best taijutsu users. He got owned by Bee, got owned by Kakashi, got owned by Raikage, got owned by Itachi in this category. Gai is also far more better, and maybe others i forget.

Well he was injured and nearly blind against Kakashi...

But I agree with the others for the most part. I edited my main post.

He was healed by Karin, and no he wasn't blind at all at that moment. He got blind after Susanoo

HUM! You're right. That's why I have been annoyed with the lately Sasuke's fights. It just seems that once he obtained his MS/EMS Kishi forgot his other abilities and went into spamming his dojutsu (wich had been stated to be good, but he should be a hell of a ninja more than he has been lately).
And also, when he fights overconfident he forgets about analyzing and preparing, wich are his strong points with intelligence (in opinion Shikamaru has the power to see forward all the possibilities, but he delays a while when doing so, whereas Sasuke does not need that much time because he's more improvising kind of guy).

He pierced Karin, and she was near death. I don't recall her healing him at all after Sasuke killed Danzo.

And no, he was slowly losing his sight for awhile.

Maybe we've not seen the same fight then:

Slowly but he wasn't blind at the begin. He really became blind after Susanoo
Even databook says that Sasuke is not that good in taijutsu. He is good but not at the same level with ninjas like Kakashi, Itachi, Gai and the rest. When he has 3.5 in taijutsu, Kakashi and Itachi have 4.5 there and Gai has 5.

I have to admit I do like Sasuke, I recognized how skilled he is but it's hard to really put him in the tops he is always strong at the start of Arc's but Sasuke tends to be pushed back untill his battles and then he is pushed to the top. In honesty the series tends to push a specific character from time to time but somehow always get them balanced out...
NO PLOT JUTSU!
