well i wouldn't really call him (Sasuke) a prodigy i would say he is a genius but not really a prodigy.
How would you call someone who was compared multiple times to the likes of Itachi, Nagato and Madara, and was stated to have the potential to surpass them? Not to mention that Orochimaru stated Sasuke was stronger than he at the same age, before the Uchiha even awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Not once has Sasuke ever been called a Prodigy. he has been refereed to by people as a Genius, but never a prodigy, Orochimaru never once said that he was as good as Itachi, he said that sasuke had the potential to surpass even Madara but that is only potential.
A prodigy is someone who, at an early age, masters one or more skills far beyond his or her level of maturity.and who is constantly performing at the level of a highly trained adult in a very demanding field or endeavor.
Sasuke is no longer a child and can not be called a prodigy A prodigy has to be a child, or at least younger than 18 years. in the simplest terms a prodigy is someone who mastered a skill set or skill sets to a level of the highest caliber.
sasuke showed potential but he did not reach that potential until after his family was killed
