The incredible power of Sasuke's Sharingan

The life of ninjas in the Naruto universe 🌎 is far from being a smooth river and fans of the series have understood this well. The adventures that each of the main shinobi have to go through reinforce the attachment that we can have for one or the other, particularly through the directions that they take. If Itachi Uchiha chose to transform the hatred linked to the loss of his family into the desire to bring peace , Sasuke Uchiha 🌑 took another path. Throughout the series, his character became increasingly dark , to the point of joining Akatsuki .

This evolution makes him one of the cruelest ninjas in the series , but above all one of the most dynamic! The fact of having grown up in the shadow of his brother Itachi has nothing to do with it. Considered a genius by the entire Uchiha clan, Itachi was the pride of his father , so much so that Sasuke himself suffered greatly from this comparison . And even though he always got the best grades in class, Sasuke Uchiha didn't see the recognition he desperately sought coming.

So how did Sasuke manage to also develop the Sharingan ? Did he manage to surpass his brother and finally gain the esteem of his clan ? 💯 Here's what happened!

How to get the Sharingan?

The preserve of the Uchiha clan

The easiest way to obtain the Sharingan is to simply be born into the Uchiha clan. This power is transmitted from father to son and is unique to them. If only this tribe has the gift of using it, it is because it is the one which gives the most importance to the notions of love and, as we will see later, of hatred. Only the Uchiha heirs are therefore destined to develop the Sharingan , 👁️ even if it is not excluded that some of them will never succeed.

This asset offers significant power to its custodians, who do not fail to demonstrate their superiority 👑 over the ninja tribes that make up the village of Konoha. Probably also because the Sharingan is never better illustrated than in a ninja charged with emotions .

Having the Sharingan transplanted

However, having a single clan benefit from such powerful power would boil down the Naruto universe to a strength gap that would detract from the plot. This is why Shinobi independent of the tribe can also find a way to gain possession of the Sharingan. And the only means they can use is the famous organ transplant , 🧬 at the same time putting into play the superiority of Sasuke's family over his adversaries.

However, you must first defeat an Uchiha in combat, and then tear out its eye equipped with the Sharingan. Once this first step has been completed, the shinobi can then decide to implant his opponent's ward or, on the contrary, make the decision to bestow it on another ninja. 🐱‍👤 The transmission of this dôjutsu does not necessarily have to take place between the winner and the loser.

Thanks to this phenomenon, which could also be described as ocular transfer, the new owner instantly benefits from all the technical capabilities 📜 linked to the Sharingan of his predecessor, thus giving him as much strength and speed of execution as the Uchiha. …

This obviously explains why the hunt for the Uchiha has become a common thread throughout the series. The shinobi hungry for this power act alone or have joined forces several times to dispossess the members of the Uchiha clan of their much sought-after characteristic. The hope of relieving them of their eyes also led, as you certainly remember, to an unforgettable confrontation between Orochimaru 🐍 and Sasuke's brother, Itachi Uchiha.

The Sharingan, an art

We were able to see that it was not enough to want it to possess the Sharingan, and even less so when you do not have it in your blood. For Sasuke, through his Uchiha ancestors, the transmission happened naturally , but for others, this acquisition is far from being innate. In addition, it is truly a very special weapon , ⚔️ and both the Uchiha and those who have had it through theft or voluntary transmission need significant training to use it correctly.

Above all, to understand how it works, you need to know that it is what we could call a “mutation of the eye” . 👁️ As said earlier, a ninja's emotions play a vital role in his personal evolution but also in the development of this dôjutsu. But it is mainly through a chemical mutation that the Sharingan develops in the pupils of those who master it.

If we were shinobi growing up in the village of Konoha, within the Uchiha tribe, our brains would probably have secreted a chemical the moment we began to develop our personal Sharingan, which would have had an instantaneous effect. to transform the genome of the cells in our eyes , at the same time causing this red pupil 🔴 which provides so much class and charisma to our favorite ninjas.

Unfortunately, this is not enough to make us legendary warriors. To do this, we would also have to learn to tame this new power . Indeed, the acquisition of the Sharingan goes hand in hand with some constraints, especially at the beginning. New owners tend to have a reduced reaction time , which can be dangerous during the first fights in the company of what will later become a destructive weapon, through hard work and pushing its limits.

Emotions as a generator of power

You will probably say to yourself that we suffer from emotional disorders by insisting on it, but yes, emotions are vectors of a lot of mutations among shinobi. 🐱‍👤 In the case of the Sharingan , they can even have the impact necessary to activate it without any other form of intervention. This moment of revelation is easily recognizable, since the ninja who unexpectedly comes into possession with the Sharingan finds himself momentarily with blurred vision , ☁️ until he pulls himself together to take full control of it. It is only once this step has been completed that the user becomes master of his or her pupil and is finally able to use it without having to endure unwanted effects.

Generally speaking, when a ninja activates his Sharingan for the first time, his opponents can see a spiral symbol 🐚 which appears inside the pupil which has turned red. This is the tomoe. Every owner of the Sharingan has at least one, but there can be several within the same eye.

In very rare cases, there are even three, as in the case of Hagomoro, who woke up directly with three tomoe in his eye ! 👁️‍🗨️ Others are not so lucky and must increase their number of tomoe through work and training. Once total mastery of their abilities has been acquired, some manage to push the limits to limits unknown to the ancients .

How powerful is Sasuke's Sharingan?

As precocious as Itachi, Sasuke activated his Sharingan at the age of 7, during his own brother's massacre of the Uchiha . ⚰️ On the verge of losing consciousness, he took violence and marked Itachi's headband with two kunai, before finally passing out. Discover Itachi's Sharingan .

Later, he managed to upgrade to two tomoe, during his incredibly confrontation with Haku . Gradually, he developed his combat techniques, drawing inspiration from the best, even managing to perform the lotus flower so dear to Lee, even though he had only been able to see him at work. 'only once. It was against Naruto himself that Sasuke Uchiha managed to make his third tomoe appear. With this new knowledge, he destabilized his opponent by managing to anticipate his movements, countering and retaliating with incredible ease.

This unique defense capacity also gave him the means to attack: he was now able to cast powerful Genjutsu spells and even penetrate Naruto's body to destroy the power of the one who possessed him, the Nine-Tails. One would then have thought that Sasuke would stop there, but the Nine-Tails, impressed by the power of his opponent, showed him the vision of an even more evil chakra 😈 than the one he already possessed, which would exacerbate his power.

Better reflexes

The technical abilities of Sasuke's sharingan are sure to impress. We have just explained the influence that tomoe have on the mastery palette of each of its owners. Concerning Sasuke, his three tomoe give him an extraordinary ability to anticipate , 🧞‍♂️ so as to execute movements much faster than his opponents and above all much better analyze the slightest of their movements.

Thanks to this, Sasuke is always several moves ahead, leaving most of his opponents no chance, their attacks resembling blows in water as the ninja dodges them with ease. This faculty of anticipation is also expressed in its own movements.

By appropriating the style of his enemies, he takes advantage of their flaws to strike where the bottom hurts the most. Take the example of his fight against the Raikage: by creating a shield of Amaterasu flames , 🔥 he responded so powerfully that he severed his opponent's arm. He also managed to trap Danzo, thus confirming the theories surrounding Izanagi's power . Still against the same Danzô, he subtly used the tapir's suction current through a supreme fireball . Madara himself, a great specialist in this mastery, recognized Sasuke as having a tactical knowledge equal to his own.

A powerful ninjutsu

Sasuke impresses, that's a fact, and if the recognition of his peers has not always lived up to his expectations, it did not take him long to develop his skills . At barely seven years old, 👶 he already knew how to create a supremely devastating fireball. Enough to obtain, all the same, a semblance of a compliment from his father: “That’s my son”.

Enough to encourage Sasuke Uchiha, who also learned to master Balsamine, also called Katon , which is a variant of the supreme fireball . Combined with throwing a shuriken, this technique allowed him to send several small fireballs in a row, less powerful but with a much longer range! 💫 Thanks to its use, Sasuke also managed to heat the sky, in order to implement his powerful attack: “Kirin” .

Sasuke was also inspired by Kakashi, from whom he copied the Raiton . Thanks to Orochimaru's training, he managed to develop his "Thousand Birds" technique: an incredible number of lightning bolts were projected from his hand in order to counterattack. But that's not all. One of his other strengths was his lightning chakra, which he combined with his saber to trigger uncontrollable spasms in any opponent he managed to slice with his blade. This lightning blade could reach up to five meters!

And what about his attack, still considered by fans to be his most powerful, the Kirin ? 🦒 The explosions caused by this power, through lightning that appeared in the clouds, created irreversible damage when he unleashed his anger on the reckless ninjas who dared to confront him. Itachi himself could have lost his life if he had not called on Susanô at the last moment.

We will also discuss Enton, a power that Sasuke obtained in obscure circumstances and of which we do not know how. This combination of primary chakra natures, linked to the Mangekyo Sharingan , allowed him to make black flames appear, the Amaterasu. He could then defend himself as well as attack without risking being hit. By combining it with his Susanô, his power reached incredible thresholds, thus increasing the violence ☠️ of each of his other combat techniques.

The Mangekyo Sharingan

It was during his confrontation with Itachi Uchiha that Sasuke used the Kaleidoscope for the first time. 😵 On the other hand, it was thanks to Madara that he was able to quickly evolve his power and completely master it. Later, during his fight against Hachibi, he this time called upon Amaterasu , instantly becoming capable of extinguishing any flame with the simple use of his eye. This is important to know, because at that time, even Itachi Uchiha was absolutely not capable of it. Sasuke knew it, he had finally managed to surpass his brother, his eternal rival . 🤼 He demonstrated it against the Raikage. His mastery of Amaterasu allowed him on this occasion to create an impenetrable shield just by swirling the flames he had unleashed.

He used his Susanoo for the first time in a fight with several opponents. Gaara, Temari, Darui and Kankurô were grouped in front of him. One against four, anyone would cry about the unfair balance of power, but not Sasuke, who broke them down one after the other. And yet, at that moment, our ninja was not yet at the top of his game. It even remained incomplete . It was only during a fit of rage that he made his Susanô evolve for good, during a fight against the famous Danzô. By launching ultra-fast arrows , 🏹 Sasuke forced Danzô to constantly call on his Izanagi.

But let's come back to his fight against the Raikage, a confrontation during which everyone witnessed Sasuke's technical mastery . He made Susanô's skeleton appear, 🏴‍☠️ in order to protect himself against the Raikage's Taijutsu. Saving parade which subsequently enabled him to gain the upper hand over his opponent.

And against Kakashi then? Sasuke seemed to show his limits. Still overcome by rage, he misused his sharingan , his eyes remaining exposed for too long. He ultimately failed to pass the final hurdle. On the other hand, another remark is necessary. Sasuke's final Susanoo was identical to his brother's . His shield 🛡️ was also strangely similar to the Yata mirror that Itachi used. Not to mention their respective water bottles... So yes, for fans of the manga this comparison will not be obvious, but for those who have seen the anime , the observation leaves no room for debate... Do you know the origin of the Sharingan of Kakashi?

The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

It was following his fight against Itachi Uchiha that Sasuke obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan . However, he had lost this confrontation. But Itachi, exhausted by excessive use of his Mangekyo, let himself die next to his brother's unconscious body. ⚱️ When Sasuke woke up later, it was Tobi, who introduced himself under the name Madara Uchiha , who revealed to him what had happened afterwards: Itachi had bequeathed him his Mangekyo Sharingan and Tobi had implanted it in him . Sasuke now possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan in each eye , making him even more powerful than he had been before.

Stuck in the cave where his savior had nursed him back to health, Sasuke finally grew tired of waiting. ⌚ He killed White Zetsu, who tried in vain to deprive him of going out. It is through a sword made entirely of Amaterasu's flame that he reduces Zetsu to ashes. It was during this confrontation that we were able to see the evolution of Sasuke's Susanô . This one had reached a stage far superior to all the old Susanô that he had previously possessed.

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan allowed his Susano to possess a sword identical to that of Itachi's Susano, with the exception that it was entirely made up of Amaterasu flames ⚫🔥 as we were able to say above.

Another evolution related to his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was that he could make his Susanô take on a shape and size similar to that of a biju , while maintaining identical strength to his original Susanô. Cherry on the cake.

Sasuke Uchiha will forever remain one of these exceptional ninjas, who managed to awaken a Mangekyo Sharingan so powerful that it reached the same level as that of Madara Uchiha! Madara who also had the serious impression that their relationship went well beyond the simple blood bond … 🩸

The Rinnegan

So that's the peak of the mastery ⚒️ that Sasuke has accustomed us to! While he had just received a significant part of the powers of Rikudô Sennin – the latter having suddenly felt a lot of guilt for not having paid enough attention to his eldest son, Indra, even though he had devoted most of his time to from his time to the youngest of his children, Asura - Sasuke discovered that his left eye 👁️ strangely resembled Jûbi's .

And the resemblance does not stop there, Sasuke Uchiha could now teleport over long distances, but also teleport objects that could prove useful, like his sword, which he always liked to have near him.

Another growing faculty in Sasuke following his acquisition of the Rinnegan , the power to distinguish Madara's shadows, which the Rimbo-Hengoku produced. However, he could not touch them, unless he called upon the chakra of Rikudô Sennin that he had acquired. This strength in him also allowed him to project meteorites in a chain ☄️ and without too much difficulty, his chakra depleting much more slowly than before. It was now done, Sasuke Uchiha had become who he wanted to be: the most complete ninja !
