Sharingan is a hallmark of the Uchiha clan from the Naruto setting . It manifests itself in the form of one, two or three tomoe (the sign closest in form to a comma from the Russian language) and reddening of the iris. After the owner of the sharingan experiences a severe emotional outburst, the shape of the eye changes to a mangeky, and the shinobi acquires new abilities and techniques.
This improved genome along with
rinnegan and
byakugan is among the
Three Great Doujutsu (literally "eye technique") and provides the owner with a considerable advantage in battle. However,
sharingan can be dangerous for shinobi and even lead to loss of vision. During the story, many characters tried to subdue the strength of the
Uchiha clan, chased and even killed for it. All types of sharingans to one degree or another can increase perception and reaction, but the special features of “bloody eyes” are strikingly different. Some fans attributed the
sharingan to Naruto , but this did not materialize.
Origin
It is believed that the Three Great Dojutsu came from the visual techniques of Kagui Ootsuki , which gave rise to the world of shinobi, which is known to the public today. Kaguya possessed rinne sharingan , a powerful weapon, but her descendants received only a fraction of the genome. Directly the sharingan himself first woke up with Indra Ootsuki , who received it after saving his brother's life. He is credited with the honor of being the progenitor of the Uchiha clan, which appeared from the remnants of the Indra sect, preaching the predominance of ninjutsu over all other styles of battle. It is noteworthy that in the anime it was Hagoromo , the direct descendant of Kagui , who first awakened the sharingan . In both cases, this required extreme stress. It is not known whether the wearer can awaken the power of the eyes in a normal setting by subjecting his body to training.
Opportunities and advantage in battle
Orochimaru stated that he had entered
Akatsuki and was ready to give a lot for the “power of these eyes,” referring to Itachi's
sharingan . After the first form of the genome awakens in the carrier, it loses orientation in space for some time due to the increased reaction. Later, it escalates to such a level that the shinobi begins to “anticipate” the enemy’s attacks, prevent them, and even turn the opponent’s techniques to their advantage. Copying a spinning eye did not just get
its name. All types of
sharingans allow you to copy the manner of battle, equipment and features of opponents.
Kakashi , who got the
sharingan from Obito, became famous precisely as a "simulacrum", the
one who wraps the enemy’s techniques against himself.
In addition to perception,
sharingan makes it possible to “see” a
swine of genjutsu (illusions) and plunge the enemy into its own.
Hypnosis and insight
Most techniques in this genome can be divided into two classes: The Eye of Insight and The Eye of Hypnosis. The first makes it possible to see the type of enemy chakra, to predict its movement, to copy techniques, even if the owner cannot recreate the element necessary for the ability. The second allows you to impose and destroy illusions. In addition, “bloody eyes” give access to two powerful techniques: isanagi and isanam . The first allows you to distort reality, for example, leaving the line of attack, thereby allowing the owner to avoid death. The price of such an opportunity is an eye that blinds forever. The second technique is created as opposed to the first and drives the enemy into a loop of time, bypassing all five senses. Both abilities are related to kinjutsu , forbidden techniques.
Awakening and transplantation
The
Uchiha's “Curse of Hate”
is the name of the
sharingan in the village of the Hidden Leaf. This is partly true. When the owner of an improved genome experiences severe stress associated with the loss of a close or indifferent person, a special kind of chakra (a kind of shinobi energy) that affects the optic nerve appears in his brain. However, as was shown in the anime,
sharingan can be awakened with the help of positive emotions or, for example, when a loved one is in trouble. If the owner is
aware of the power he has received, then he
can immediately use
sharingan , otherwise an improved reaction can lead to
severe overload and damage his health. Like any dojutsu, eyes can be transferred to another person or even an animal
by transplantation.
Itachi shows
Naruto sharingan when he
implanted a crow.
Disadvantages of such eyes
Unlike the
Uchiha , the owner loses the ability to deactivate
sharingan , and the techniques themselves require much more chakra. So, for example,
Kakashi was forced to wear a bandage. If the eyes were transplanted from one person or close relatives, they retain some kind of connection, and new owners can even see the same
picture . At the same time,
sharingan does not have to be implanted in place of an eye;
Danzo immediately owned a dozen, which allowed him to use
isanagos several times.
Mangekyou sharingan
All types of sharingans give owners an advantage in battle, but mangekie is considered one of the strongest dojutsu. Only a few shinobi managed to awaken it: Itachi , Obito, Shisui , Madara , Izuna , Sasuke , Indra , Fugaku , Baru, Paradise, Naori and Naka . If for the usual form just very strong emotions are enough, then this requires psychological trauma from the loss of a loved one. All types of sharingan mangekie have specific properties. For example, Sasuke can extinguish the eternal flame of Amaterasu , Itachi gained deeper control over illusions and Tsukuyemi's technique, Shisui could control the consciousness of other shinobi, and Obito transfer the body to another dimension, making it intangible ( Kamui ). In addition, most versions have access to Susanoo (a giant from the chakra that protects the owner inside the giant) and Amateras (a black flame that can burn forever). It is noteworthy that in order to use the Susanoo technique, a shinobi must possess two sharingans and awaken them simultaneously.
Each use of the mangekyi techniques is detrimental to the health of the wearer. So, for example, if
Itachi used his eyes more than
three times a day, then after that he could not activate even a common
sharingan . Like the regular version of
dojutsu , mangekie can be transplanted to another carrier,
however, the cost of the chakra for technology will increase enormously. In addition, the abilities of this form of
sharingan can be programmed to activate under
certain circumstances. The constant use of mangekie
leads to blindness only if the owner does not gain access to the eternal form.
Everlasting Mangequin Sharingan
The eternal form of mangekie can only be obtained by transplanting the eyes of a close relative. For the entire duration of the story, only two owners of such sharingan are shown: Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Madara . The first one got new eyes after Itachi died, asking Tobi to transplant them for him to kill Naruto and destroy Konoha . The eternal mangequi Madara was called "the first sin of the Uchiha ", as it was believed that he had forcibly taken his eyes from Izuna , but he himself bequeathed them to his brother on his deathbed. Despite the fact that the owner of this form of sharingan is protected from blindness, the constant use of techniques leads to poor health, pain in the eyes and bruising . This form allows the owner to develop his dojutsu in the Rinnegan, which Madara did by the end of his life.
Rinne sharingan
This form allows you to put all the living in the Eternal Tsukuemi, which was the plan of Tobi and
Madara , who created
Akatsukp . On the stone tablet of the
Uchiha clan, it is said that the owner of the
rinne can gain access to tremendous power by approaching the moon. At first this form of
sharingan was awakened by
Madara when he regained both
Rinnegan and ascended to the night luminary. Later, during
Zetsu’s manipulations,
Kaguya awoke in the body of this one, and she realized the Eye of the Moon plan. Directly, the progenitor herself turned out to be a powerful dojutsu after she ate the fruit of the Divine Tree. The reincarnation of
Kagui and the Tree, the
Ten-Tails ,
also owned
rinne sharingan .
Directly, the technique itself looks like a pattern of three rings, completely covering the sclera of red color, and nine tomoe (three for each ring). Eternal Tsukuemi, the main technique of this form of sharingan , has its flaws. So, for example, jutsu Naruto , strengthened by the nine-tailed chakra, allowed him to escape the power of the Heavenly Eye. In addition, Sasuke was able to hide other shinobi from the eyes of Kagui by transferring it to his Susanoo by the power of the Rinnegan .
Many fans consider
sharingan power to be the strongest of the
Three Great Doujutsu. “Bloody eyes” are really capable of giving a tangible advantage in battle,
however, to call this
improved gene the strongest is incorrect. Several shinobi successfully
resisted carriers of both the common
sharingan and mangekie.
Jutsu Naruto , for example, successfully resisted
Sasuke's eye power on equal terms or close to that.
