They have a funeral for the Third Hokage, killed by Orochimaru, and then Naruto takes off with his teacher Jiraiya while Sasuke continues to learn from Kakashi. Around this time, Itachi suddenly makes a reappearance on a mission from the organisation he joined, Akatsuki; his goal is to capture Naruto. Unfortunately, he gets into a fight with Kakashi, and when Sasuke goes to visit his injured teacher he accidentally hears that his brother is back and going after Naruto, so he hunts them down. He manages to find Naruto, and hence Itachi, and tries to kill his brother right there - but Itachi is almost immeasurably stronger than Sasuke, and Sasuke gets beaten mercilessly and tortured by the Mangekyou Sharingan again. The unconscious and thoroughly traumatised Sasuke is taken back to the village while Naruto and Jiraiya continue on their way.
And now, in short because I am sick of this history already, sob: Sasuke's inferiority complex and obsession with power take a turn for the worst, and he tries to fight Naruto, only to be stopped - but he has already started to consider going to Orochimaru, tainted by that promise of power. Orochimaru's ninja come to collect him, and Sasuke chooses to leave of his own free will; he attacks Sakura to keep her out of his way, and he tries to kill Naruto before he leaves - Itachi had told him on the night of their clan's massacre that to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan, you must kill the person closest to you - but even though he narrowly wins the fight, he can't bring himself to kill his best friend and leaves Konoha for good to join Orochimaru.
That's the end of Part 1, and there is no force on this earth that can make me write out all of Shippuden right now. :'|;;;
Personality:
Sasuke is a bratty, teenage boy. He's cold and callous and harsh, he's rude and blunt and disrespectful no matter who he's speaking to, he's very stubborn and often self-centred, and like any stereotypical "cold and antisocial" anime character, he's prone to brooding and silent angst. He finds most people and things irritating - when he introduces himself, he very simply states that he hates a lot of things and doesn't particularly like anything - and he's the type to lash out with insults or snaps when he gets annoyed. He has no problems with insulting anyone for various reasons, one of which is the fact that he's blunt and he doesn't try to act nice for anyone at any point. He's very honest when he chooses to speak, but he'll rarely speak about himself, because he's a private person and prefers to keep to himself. Despite his coldness, he's also very passionate and puts himself into things very strongly and fiercely; he does everything with his whole heart and being.
On one hand, Sasuke has a raging superiority complex. When he first meets people, he automatically assumes he's "above" them unless there's something to indicate otherwise - status, a glimpse of their fighting abilities, etc. - and he looks down on all of them. Because of his Uchiha blood and upbringing, natural pride, and his admittedly high level of skill, he considers himself "special" and thinks other people such as Naruto and Sakura are just a waste of his time and not even worth looking at. This leaves him arrogant, over-confident and cocky; he mocks, teases and insults Naruto constantly when they're first forced together and sees Sakura as being so far beneath him that she isn't even worth mention. It also means he's often uncaring of the suffering of others, because he holds himself and his goals in higher regard than everyone else.
