So we all know that Sasuke does not have an arm. And after his fight, Sakura
was saying something about making an arm out of Hashirama's cells. Thing
is—Sasuke has the Rinnegan, and knows how to use it. So, he can use the Asura
Path technique to get a new arm. So what was the need for an arm made of
Hashirama's cells anyway? Why did they make one for Sasuke if he can get a new
arm himself? And why is Sasuke missing an arm in the first place? He should
have had his own new arm by now.

question
naruto
Does Sasuke really need a new arm?


I think it's because Sasuke lost a lot of his powers after he sealed Kaguya.
(Naruto even lost his Sage of Six Paths more). Sasuke only had his Rinnegan,
so, I don't think he can restore his arm using the Asura path technique.

Sasuke thinks he's cooler with one arm or this is his way of atonement or his
trying to be more emo or maybe he thinks he doesnt need it yet

When Naruto and Sasuke battle after they defeat Kaguya, they end up both
losing an arm. Tsunade implants a certain cell inside Naruto's missing arm's
side to let it grow back. But Sasuke does not want his arm to be recovered
because he wants to punish (-ish) himself for all the harm he had caused.

Since, as [EIPsyKongroo said](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/38169/2516),
he only received the Magatama Rinnegan when he got the Sage of Six Path
chakra, and I don't think it has the ability to recover any lost/damaged
cells.

Sasuke is of Uchiha blood line. If he implants Hashirama's cells in his arm,
he will activate a Rinnegan in the right eye. He doesn't trust himself yet. So
he doesn't attach a new arm like Naruto.

As [Troll dé Mage said](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/39952/2516),

  1. Maybe he wants to punish himself for all the harm he had caused OR
  2. He thinks that having Hashirama chakra in him would make him too OP and he is afraid that he may turn on the wrong side.
