What was the source of inspiration behind the character Sasuke in Naruto?


According to [Sasuke
Uchiha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasuke_Uchiha#Creation_and_conception)
article on Wikipedia, Sasuke's name comes from Sarutobi Sasuke, a fictional
ninja featured in Japanese children's stories. Kishimoto also once said that
Sasuke's character was influenced by Hiei from YuYu Hakusho.
