How Is Sasuke So Fast?
This is one question that baffles the fans. Sasuke has always been a fast Shinobi, but his speed seems to have grown at least tenfold in the current timeline. Fans are curious about why and how that is.
It is never specifically mentioned in the anime or in ‘Boruto’, but fans have various theories about Sasuke’s increased speed. Sasuke, as mentioned above, has always been fast. His base speed and Naruto’s base speed are equal, but Naruto can increase his speed using six paths chakra and Kurama’s chakra.
Sasuke on the other hand possesses the rinnegan and fans speculate that he can mirror and copy the movements required for increased speed. While this explanation seems far-fetched, it might as well be true. Sasuke has a great hold of his Sharingan and can use it very efficiently, therefore he may be able to use it to copy movements to increase his speed.
Is Sasuke Faster Than Naruto?
This is a very difficult question to answer. As many fans are aware, Naruto is currently the world’s fastest Shinobi. This is due to him being Kurama’s jinchuriki and being granted the six paths chakra by Hagoromo.
Sasuke got the rinnegan from Hagoromo. This doujutsu was quite coveted by Madara Uchiha because of its abilities. The rinnegan allows Sasuke to teleport and switch places with another object or human. With that being said, it is time to answer the question.
As far as authentic speed is concerned, Naruto remains faster than Sasuke. This gap is not very great, Sasuke is only a few steps behind Naruto. He can copy Naruto’s speed using his Sharingan, but he cannot perfectly match it.
When it comes to covering great distances in a short time, Sasuke remains superior. This is due to his ability to teleport using his Rinnegan. Sasuke can travel hundreds of miles in mere seconds using his Rinnegan, something Naruto can’t do. Therefore, in a way, both Naruto and Sasuke are faster than each other in certain ways.
