Sasuke is commonly listed as the leader of the Sanada Ten Braves, a fictional group of ten ninja that supposedly assisted the warlord Sanada Yukimura at the Siege of Osaka and he is by far the best known and most popular among them. When appearing with Kirigakure Saizō, one of his fellow Ten Braves, he is often thus contrasted with his best friend/arch-rival, who usually has an elegant, or at least clean-cut, appearance and magic-like ability.

Sasuke is generally said to be a Kōga ninja, whereas Saizō is an Iga ninja. As such, when the two appear together, they are almost always depicted as arch-rivals and later, after being recruited to the Sanada cause, best friends. (This rivalry parallels the Iga-Kōga rivalry and the Hattori-Fūma rivalries in ninja fiction.)

It is said he fell in battle against the forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Siege of Osaka in the summer of 1615; but there is no historical record of this. In another version, Sasuke infiltrated Tokugawa Ieyasu's stronghold during 1615 and, having caught his foot in a bear trap while escaping the enemy, cut it off at the ankle to escape and then took his own life rather than be captured.

*The very name Sasuke has become something of a default ninja name or moniker. Various ninja characters by the name of either Sasuke or Sarutobi appear in the anime series Gin Tama, Haō Taikei Ryū Knight, Ninja Nonsense and Ranma ½ (Sasuke Sarugakure), the video games Captain Commando, Ehrgeiz, Joy Mech Fight (as a ninja robot), Shall We Date?: Ninja Love (as a romance option for the player character), Gotcha Force, Kessen (as a female ninja), Ninja Master's: Haō Ninpō Chō (where he is the protagonist), Samurai Warriors and Suikoden II, in the Ganbare Goemon video game series (as another robot ninja), and in the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh!.
*His legacy is also almost omnipresent in the manga and anime franchise Naruto in which the father of a major supporting character, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is named Sasuke Sarutobi, hence making him the grandfather of Asuma Sarutobi (Hiruzen's son) and the great-grandfather of Konohamaru (Asuma's nephew). One of the main characters is named Sasuke Uchiha; it is mentioned that Sasuke was named after Sarutobi Sasuke in hopes that he would become a great shinobi just like him.
