In many stories, villains may become primary antagonists, or side-story antagonists. Primary antagonists are ones that has goals entirely opposite to the main protagonist. Some examples of primary antagonists are Sonic with Doctor Eggman, or Tom and Jerry. There are also side-story antagonists whose goals doesn't entirely affect the main plot. An example of a side-story antagonist is Sasuke, a ninja villain from the Naruto Series. Sasuke's main purpose is to kill his brother, which doesn't directly affect Naruto, the main protagonist, yet the bond between the two from earlier stories causes them to clash several times. The reason behind Sasuke's goal is because of a massacre that his brother has done upon the whole Uchiha Clan, including their father and mother. The bitter scene resulted into a deep hate raging in Sasuke's heart. Following his hatred, Sasuke seeks for power. He then met and got trained by a man called Orochimaru, a traitor of their village. From day to day, Sasuke trains while doing many evil deeds that Orochimaru tells him to, therefore slowly turning he himself into a villain. But, despite the reputation, Sasuke sticks to his plans, which is simply to gain power, even if it means to do bad things. In some parts of the story, Naruto comes to stop Sasuke from doing evil, yet resistance lead to battles instead. Some battles advance into major twists of the main story, yet some others simply pass by as the story goes on. From that, we may conclude Sasuke's part as a side-story antagonist, for he doesn't fully affect the Naruto Series plot. Basically Sasuke adds more complexity to the story and further deepens Naruto's character.
