Sasuke is the deuteragonist of Uchiha NarutoBecause of this, he is frequently in the limelight. Naturally, Kishimoto paid a lot of attention to Sasuke and gave him all kinds of abilities, enabling the Uchiha to take down many powerful fighters. However, in some battles, Sasuke's abilities were not enough, and he was left on the losing end.

In these uncertain situations Kishimoto relied on another valuable weapon—plot armor, which helped Sasuke overcome his opponents. While Sasuke's victory was beneficial to him, fans can't help but think how different the story would have been if the Uchiha had been on the losing end.
This post contains spoilers for Naruto.
Deidara
Affiliation: Akatsuki
-
The fight should have at least ended in a draw
Deidara was the youngest member of the Akatsuki. He was wanted by the organization for handling large quantities of explosives. Deidara didn't want to join the Akatsuki, but after losing to Itachi he had no choice. At Akatsuki, Deidara improved his control over explosive earth and other nature changes.
In Naruto Shippuden, Deidara crossed paths with Sasuke Uchiha, and before long, the two were embroiled in a bitter feud. Credit where credit is due, Sasuke used his partnership skillfully and completely defeated Deidara. However, Deidara didn't want to go down so easily. Deidara created microscopic creatures from his soil that went inside Sasuke's body. Normally, this should have been enough to give Deidara the victory, but Sasuke was able to overcome them. As a last resort, Deidara decides to use C3, a move that can wipe out almost anything within miles. Realistically, Sasuke should have died in the explosion, but Kishimoto came to his rescue.
Danzo

Sasuke had to be sealed
Danzo declared himself Hokage after Tsunade was exhausted from being attacked by the Six Paths of Pain. After the incident, Danzo traveled to the Iron Lands to join the other village leaders for the Kage Summit. He had no clue that Sasuke was on his tail, and he wanted to wipe him out.

In addition to being a powerful ninja, Sasuke has always been good at coming up with plans to defeat the enemy.
After many delays, Sasuke finally fought Danzo. Later Izanagi's cause was overconfidence, as he believed the power would save him from certain death. However, Sasuke overtook him and put him in a precarious position. Realizing he was about to lose, Danzo used the Reverse Trigram Seal to lock Sasuke down. If not for Obito's Kamui, the Uchiha would have been attacked. Obito saves Sasuke, causing Danzo's plan to fail miserably. While Sasuke had the upper hand, it's safe to say that the fight would have ended in a draw without outside interference.
Itachi Uchiha
Affiliation: Akatsuki
Itachi Uchiha is one of Naruto's most beloved characters. Fans were already in awe of Itachi when he debuted, but their adoration for him grew as his backstory was revealed. As the story progressed, it became increasingly clear that Itachi and Sasuke were destined to fight each other.
When they finally started fighting, Itachi didn't want to kill his brother because he was retreating. However, Sasuke didn't know that Itachi was far from going all out. Ultimately, Sasuke was the last fighter standing, so according to the rules, he was victorious. Her excitement didn't last long when Obito told her how Itachi didn't want to kill his younger brother in the first place. So, it's clear that Sasuke should never win the fight.

Killer Bee was holding back against Sasuke
Killer B was the adopted daughter of Lightning A and the Jinchuuriki of the Eight Tails. From a young age, Killer Bee trained extensively to enhance his physical abilities and gain better control over his tailed beast. After forming a proper bond with the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee gained access to a surprising amount of chakra. Furthermore, he can transform into a tailed beast to deal more damage.

From rogue ninjas to terrorists, and alien creatures, Naruto's best villains are in a league of their own.
Later in the story, Sasuke joins the Akatsuki, and is tasked with bringing down Killer Bee. Sasuke had always been overconfident, so he rushed into battle and quickly learned a hard lesson. Killer B was on top and would have killed Sasuke if not for the other members of Taka. Things would have been much worse for Sasuke if Killer B hadn't wanted to take part in the secret.
Kabuto Yakushi
Affiliation: Hidden Leaf
-
Itachi saved Sasuke from humiliation
After Orochimaru's death, Kabuto was overcome with a desire to be like his master. So, he went through Orochimaru's notes to learn about various techniques. He also traveled to Ryuichi Cave to learn Snake Sage Mode. After learning how to use Snake Sage Mode, Kabuto surpassed Orochimaru to become one of the most dangerous men in the world. He teamed up with Obito to start the Fourth Great Ninja War.
During the battle, Itachi and Sasuke went to stop Kabuto as he was manipulating each of the resurrected ninjas using Impure World Rebirth. Surprisingly, the fight was one-sided, and the two Uchiha brothers were unaware. So, Itachi was forced to use Izanami to stop Kabuto. If Itachi hadn't sacrificed himself, both of them would have failed to win.
