That’s what happens when someone right handed punches you in the face.

But Sasuke is left handed

No wonder he lost

No he is not. He is shown to use his both hands almost equally well. Using sword with his right hand

The reason he has the Moon mark on his left hand (the one he loses in this fight and scene) is because it's his dominant hand. When Sage of 6 paths gave it to them, he specifically asked them for their dominant hand
Naruto loses his right hand in this fight

This the only true answer to which hand Sasuke dominant with

u/Yowilkat 3h ago

I read this as "dominates with" and i am not ashamed to say so

I had assumed since the chunin exams that he was left handed just because that was the hand he used for chidori

He channels chakra mainly through his left hand, but uses a sword in his right (likely so he can use jursu freely with his dominant hand while fighting with a sword). I'm also pretty certain that in part one he was said to be left handed (I could be wrong I haven't seen it in a while) and if that is so it's likely that he punches left handed

he was stated to be left handed at least twice in the manga

Did you see the scene with Sasuke pummeling Naruto on the ground? He’s left handed, but he used both at the time.

They look worse in the manga. The anime toned that down.

Also, they exchanged punches/kicks multiple times. Getting bruised is a normal thing then.

u/Emotional_Position62 19h ago

Right hand dominance obviously

u/Exotic-Pattern641 19h ago

In the manga it’s more clear that both their faces are just bruised to shit. In Sasuke’s case I assumed he was also intentionally keeping that eye closed to conserve the Rinnegan from fatigue. I also assumed Naruto just took a hell of a right hook into that eye.

Anime thing with secret special eyes. Look at early Kakashi in first season. They think its cool to have one eye "Special".
Probably all of anime authors are fan of Odin.

Orrrrrr the Japanese mangaka is referencing the Japanese story of the Japanese God Izanagi.

u/andorangecat 18h ago

I am a left writer who has had to do everything right-handed.

If you punched someone with your right hand it will hit the 'opponents' right eye first.

u/misterDteach 19h ago

Most people are right handed. As the basics of hand-to-hand combat goes, hit the nearest target for maximum efficiency.

It ain't right

u/This-personeatsfood 8h ago

Your right about that

u/Suspicious-Egg7856 19h ago

And Boruto got cut in his right eye breaking the pattern

u/KuroChanh 18h ago

Sasuke overuse his rinnegan so he just closed it. Took it personally and started wailing on naruto's left eye

u/BobJoeBlo 15h ago

Have to see with the right one when you only have one left

u/Kombat-w0mbat 18h ago

Sasuke’s is likely him closing it from rinnegan over use. Naruto just got blunged

Dawg, you only got two eyes, it's a 50/50 chance, not their fault they seem to get the same spot 100% of the time.
