The idea was scrapped Yahagi told Kishimoto to focus the series' first two chapters on introducing Naruto instead and the focus on Sasuke and the rest of the supporting characters were shown in the next chapters for the first time.

To introduce Sasuke, Kishimoto wrote a chapter that was set before the formation of his ninja squad, Team 7. The character's first name came from Sanpei Shirato's manga Sasuke and Sarutobi Sasuke, a fictional ninja character in Japanese children's stories. Discussing the series' future, his editor, Kosuke Yahagi, advised him to add a rival character for the protagonist Naruto and he created Sasuke. Manga artist Masashi Kishimoto did not include Sasuke Uchiha in his original concept for the Naruto series, a story revolving around the character Naruto Uzumaki. Character-based merchandise, including action figures and key chains, has been released. Sasuke has also placed highly in Naruto reader popularity polls and has also been the subject of studies by scholars. Nevertheless, Sasuke's characterization in latter parts of the story and more mature personality in the Boruto sequel earned further positive comments. His impressive fighting skills, plot contribution, and rivalry with Naruto Uzumaki received some praise, but he was criticized as a stereotypical rival in the mold of similar characters from other shōnen manga and as exhibiting a cold personality. Sasuke's character has received mixed responses from anime and manga publications. In the manga's animated adaptations, Sasuke was voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama in Japanese and Yuri Lowenthal in English. Nonetheless, Kishimoto has grown to enjoy drawing him. Despite Sasuke's dark character development later in the story, Kishimoto avoided portraying him as a villain he found designing the character challenging and had difficulty creating a suitable look for him. Kishimoto conceived Sasuke as a rival of the series' title character Naruto Uzumaki.
