When the fourth Shinobi was a matter of time before Sasuke joined the war, however, his decisions that led up to it made for quite a journey and ended a long cycle of hate. This made his significance in the story even higher, but things have always been weird with the last Uchiha since his introduction. Sasuke is introduced in the first third episode/chapter of the anime/manga and was pivotal to the series. He is one of the two characters the series is based on and centered around.
Sasuke was one of the main antagonists in Naruto Shippuden. To be precise, he evolved to be one of the antagonists in Shippuden, and his participation in the war was seen by many as a great clash. However, the events did not unfold like that, for Sasuke was still a teenager at this stage and went through phases. He certainly went through a phase in Naruto after he abruptly decided to join Orochimaru, even after Kakashi’s speech. This also happened in Shippuden, where he learned many things about himself.
For one, he learned that Itachi wasn’t the only one who killed everyone in his clan; Obito was also involved. Moreover, he doesn’t remember that because Itachi put him under Genjutsu to omit Obito’s involvement. This had caused him great mental stress, but even after learning Obito was killing in his clan, through Obito himself, he decided to join him. Obito manipulated him into joining him.
Eventually, Sasuke Join The war, But Whose Side Was He On?
Sasuke had belonged to camp Obito before joining the war. So it was inevitable for him to become one of the main antagonists in the series down the line. However, his meeting with Itachi greatly affected his attitude and led to a great shift in the war.
While he had been harboring ill intent and meaning to destroy Konoha for good, Itachi left him confused. But what did Itachi do to him? Sasuke had been under someone else’s influence since he was little. He became aware of that at some point but didn’t care. He was willing to get used by Tobi and be a tool for him if it meant destroying Konoha. But Tobi ignored one important detail that led to his downfall.
Itachi was one of the people who also got reincarnated as part of the people’s mass reanimation Jutsu. However, it didn’t take him long to get out of its influence and break free of the restraints placed on him. With the crow placed on Naruto, he put himself under Genjutsu to break the restraints of Reanimation’s control on him. Naruto informed him Sasuke had gone rogue and wouldn’t listen to anyone, no matter what anyone said. Itachi made way for Sasuke as soon as he heard what his little brother had been doing.

Itachi states he still wished to save Konoha even after he had come to life, for the village gave him meaning. Not understanding what his big brother meant, Sasuke went on to revive Orochimaru and, in turn, revive the past Hokages. He wanted to know what being a shinobi of Konoha, and there was no one better to answer than them.
After their revival, the second Hokage turned out to be the one who had done the most damage to Uchiha, while the third and fourth failed to clean up his mess. But the whole thing started with Hashirama, the first Hokage and the wood user telling the story of his time to help him understand what it meant to be Shinobi.
After learning about Konoha came to be, Sasuke made up his decision and joined the war with the four Hokages on his side. We saw a touching reunion between Naruto and Minato that was broken by Sakura’s short temper. And when Sasuke does show up in the war, it is in Naruto Shippuden Episode 370. And from there begins the war that would put an end to everything before leading to the last showdown of the series.
