Sasuke Uchiha is a member of Team 7. He acts as the arch-rival, as well as a "cool genius" which was believed to be a necessary part of an ideal competition by Kishimoto. He is one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha Clan along with his brother Itachi Uchiha. Due to Itachi Uchiha killing the rest of their family, killing his own brother has become Sasuke's sole desire. His fellow teammates, including Uzumaki, help Sasuke focus less on revenge at the start of the series. In Part I, when Sasuke attacks his brother, he would fail often. So Sasuke went back to the village to seek more powerful skills from the criminal Orcchimaru. His teammates also wanted to help him to recover in Part II.
