Hi there, Junko from Japan here! After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto got back his lost arm, but Sasuke did NOT.
Why didn’t Sasuke get his arm fixed even though it was possible?
The reason is simple. Sasuke chose to stay one arm by himself.
After the War ended, Tsunade made artificial arms from Hashirama’s cell. Judging from what Sakura said to Sasuke, it seems the arms were developed for both Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto got the artificial arm and get his right arm back. But Sasuke refused to receive it and left for a journey.
Why Didn’t Sasuke Receive the Prosthetic Arm?
The journey meant atoning for Sasuke. It’s told by Mr. Kishimoto himself in an interview with him.
On the other hand, the reason why he didn’t receive the arm wasn’t described in Naruto episodes.
Yet it’s easy to guess that he did that to atone for what he did. I think the lost arm symbolizes Sasuke’s sin, and at the same time, the bond with Naruto.
He was prepared to bear the guilt by himself. Also, I suppose the lost arm represents a kind of oath for Sasuke, which shows his decision to live as a member of the Hidden Leaf Village that Itachi protected and as the closest friend of Naruto.
Sakura may be able to recover his arm if she wants to, but she doesn’t do that.
I like the fact since it feels like Sakura understands and accepts Sasuke’s will. Yep, I love the SasuSaku couple and expect more episodes of them!
Is Sasuke Left-Handed?
Yes, he’s left-handed. When he was told to give a dominant arm, he showed his left arm. But he used pencils and chopsticks with his right hand in the early NARUTO episodes.
In Japan, it’s common for left-handed people to have the training to use their right hand so that they can handle daily implements with both hands.
