Sasuke Uchiha was an important character in Naruto, as a major chunk of the story included him everywhere. And why not? He was the reincarnation of Indra, born with immense chakra and hidden abilities that he explored later in life.
The Sasuke we got to see in OG Naruto and the one that we got to see in Naruto Shippuden are two completely different beings. And his world turned upside down after he completed his revenge. However, not all the fans remember at which point Sasuke got his Mangekyo Sharingan and what powers he could manifest with it.
Sasuke Uchicha and his Mangekyo Sharingan
Sasuke Uchiha finally got a chance to have a one-on-one with Itachi Uchiha, his elder brother. In this battle, Sasuke took Itachi's life and completed his revenge. However, when Obito told all the truth to Sasuke about the selflessness of Itachi, the story shattered him to the core.
And this was the point where Sasuke awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan. And the realization of the same that Itachi sacrificed everything for Sasuke was something that filled him with rage and anger towards Konoha and its higher officials.
The powers that Sasuke gained from his Mangekyo Sharingan were Amaterasu - with which he can put black flames on anything and destroy the same, and flame control - with which he can shape and even remove Amaterasu on his will. And he gained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan after he transplanted Itachi's eyes and saved himself from any risk related to blindness.
And Sasuke was one militant-headed character from Naruto, as he never backed off from anything. After knowing that Danzo was the main culprit in the whole Uchiha Massacre scenario, he gave the Konoha official a death that can scare even the god of death himself. Furthermore, the journey didn't end here as Sasuke also got blessed with Rinnegan in the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
