Anyone looking to be absorbed back into the ninja world need look no further than these lengthy Naruto games.
One of the most interesting characters in Naruto is his rival, the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan massacre. Sasuke's life is ruled by hatred, sending him down a dark path where the only person who can pull him out is a friend he wants to cut all ties with.
8 VS Orochimaru
He showed his “Master” who was really in charge
- Arc: Itachi's tracking mission
- Victor: Sasuke Uchiha
After leaving the Leaf Village to learn under Orochimaru, Sasuke honed his skills and became stronger than ever. Although after a moment it was clear that he had surpassed his mentor. It was time to go.
Orochimaru did not take this well, engaging in a fight with the body he wanted to inhabit. However, Sasuke's mastery of the Sharingan was too strong and he was able to reverse Orochimaru's technique and seal the heinous villain in the very mark of the curse he had placed on Sasuke.
7 With Taka VS Killer Bee
On a mission from Akatsuki to capture the Eight Tails
- Arc: Sorted battle between brothers
- Victor: Taka
After joining Akatsuki, Sasuke embarked on a mission for Akatsuki to capture the Eight Tails. Killer Bee was no joke, but Sasuke had a strong team to rely on. Taka's combined power was too much to bear and Killer Bee fell after a short but glorious fight.
Although it looked like Bee was overwhelmed, he managed to pull one last trick on the group to ease the pain of his loss. He tricked the group into thinking that a piece of the Eight Tails' tentacle was Bee's body. To make matters worse, the Raikage was angered by this attempt to hurt Bee, setting off a chain of events that caused a lot of pain for both Naruto and Sasuke.
6 VS Danzo Shimura
He avenged the Uchiha massacre by killing the puppeteer behind the scenes
- Arc: The Summit of the Five Kage

Danzo is one of the most evil characters in Naruto. His nefarious behind-the-scenes planning has caused a lot of pain for the villagers, with this villain enabling the Uchiha massacre while capturing clan members for his twisted experiments. After learning the truth about Itachi's act, Sasuke relishes the opportunity to exact revenge on the power-hungry Danzo.

These Naruto characters have a grudge against Sasuke that goes far beyond mere dislike. It's hate.
The ensuing battle showed how obsessed Danzo was with the Sharingan, using Izanagi multiple times to rewrite his death. However, he eventually ran out of eyes, a failed attempt to take Karin hostage sealed his fate, while a cold-hearted Sasuke took him out for good.
5 VS Deidara
A surprisingly gripping fight where Deidara's hatred of the Uchiha rules his motivations
- Arc: Itachi's tracking mission
- Victor: Sasuke Uchiha
Deidara is a character who seems a little too reckless for his own good, only for him to turn into one of the best members of the Akatsuki. Considering how smart most of the villains in this group were, it was nice to see Deidara's hot head up the ante when it came to the aggression he showed in battle.
This is evident during his fight against Sasuke, where he proclaims his hatred for the Uchiha and how they have always looked down on him. His blasts peaked before Deidara sacrificed himself with a Hail Mary attack that would have killed Sasuke had it not been for a well-timed Summon that served as a life-saving meat shield.
4 VS A (Raikage)
A brutal battle against the Raikage where the powers of the Mangekyo Sharingan are on full display
- Arc: The Summit of the Five Kage
- Victor: None (battle interrupted)
After infiltrating the Five Kage Summit, the Raikage found a golden opportunity to punish the man who hurt his brother. However, Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan meant that he could use some elite skills to fight this powerful warrior on equal footing.
He brought out Susanoo and Amaterasu to form an ultimate defense during their fight, his mastery of both techniques increasing over the course of the battle. However, the Raikage surprised him by throwing all caution out the window and sacrificing his arm to throw a damaging punch. While the rest of the Kage broke up the battle, Sasuke may have been flattened if the battle had lasted longer.
3 VS Naruto Uzumaki (Round 1)
An iconic clash where Naruto broke his bonds and left the village for good
- Arc: Sasuke recovery mission
- Victor: Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke's recovery mission ends in a bombastic battle where both Naruto and Sasuke go to settle their differences. Naruto was willing to break every bone in Sasuke's body to bring him back to the Leaf Village, while the latter wanted to gain immense power at any cost after being humiliated by Itachi and outmatched by Naruto.

2 VS Itachi Uchiha
A fearsome clash between brothers long in the making
- Arc: Sorted battle between brothers
- Victor: Sasuke Uchiha
The battle between Sasuke and Itachi was long lasting. Sasuke's aim to kill his brother was tantalizingly close, but it was clear that his brother would have bested him in a fair fight. However, not only was Itachi suffering from an illness, but he had so much love for his little brother that there was no way he could give him the killing blow.
Instead, he used this fight as an excuse to drain Sasuke's chakra to lure Orochimaru out, completely removing his toxic presence from his beloved brother before displaying his Mangekyo Sharingan powers. The battle ends with a final blow to Sasuke's forehead as Itachi apologizes for his death before falling to the ground.
1 VS Naruto Uzumaki (Round 2)
Naruto's final fight where Sasuke finally recognizes his rival
- Arc: Kaguya Otsutsuki strikes
- Victor: Naruto Uzumaki

What follows is a spectacular battle with two of the most powerful characters in the Narutohis history. From casual close quarters combat to massive attacks in their most powerful forms, both fighters go all out before depleting all of their chakra. However, they had to unleash a final attack, with the Rasengan and Chidori clashing once more as both fighters lost their dominant arms. Although this fight could have been a draw, what cemented Naruto's victory was Sasuke admitting defeat and accepting Naruto for the first time. He agreed to abandon his plans and follow Naruto's example, eventually following the path of an honorable shinobi.
