Sharingan Eye Variations |
|
Normal Uchiha Clan Member Eye |
|
The normal eye for an Uchiha clan
member resembles any normal human eye with iris, pupil and sclera.
|
|
Sharingan partially activated - One Swirl |
|
This is the first variation of a
partially developed Sharingan eye. The clan members pupil will turn red
and develop one of the wheel swirls. When Uchiha Sasuke finally
activated his Sharingan, his left eye took this form.
|
|
Sharingan partially activated - Two Swirls |
|
This is the second variation of a
partially developed Sharingan eye. The clan members pupil will turn red
and develop two of the wheel swirls. When Uchiha Sasuke finally
activated his Sharingan, his right eye took this form.
|
|
Sharingan fully activated - Three Swirls |
|
This is the final normal form of
the Sharingan eye. The clan members pupil will turn red and develop
three of the wheel swirls in both eyes. In this form the clan member can
read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, learn how the skill is done and
then copy it to be used later. This form can also initiate the Mangekyou
"Kaleidoscope" form.
|
|
Sharingan - Elongated Three Swirls |
|
This variation is the Mangekyou
(Kaleidoscope) form while not fully changed. Sasuke initially caught a
glimpse of this version of the the Mangekyou.
|
|
Sharingan - Uchiha Itachi Mangekyou (Kaleidoscope) Form |
|
This is the rare Mangekyou
(Kaleidoscope) form which is said to only appear in a few Uchiha
members. Uchiha Itachi was able to finally master this form during the
period he killed his clan. In this form Itachi is able to use the
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi Doujutsu techniques.
|
|
Sharingan - Hatake Kakashi Mangekyou (Kaleidoscope) Form |
|
This Mangekyou Sharingan form was
revealed by non-Uchiha clan member Hatake Kakashi. Whether this form is
due to Kakashi or some inheritance from what Uchiha Obito was capable of
is unknown. Using the eye, Kakashi can use a technique which appears to
collapse space in around a focus point and reduce it to nothingness.

Sharingan is the
blood inheritance limit of the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha are said to be
descendants of the Hyuuga, with the Byakugan changing into the Sharingan
over time. This doujutsu (eye skill) gives one the ability to read
Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it. As such, the clan
member can view a technique being performed and see the tricks and
movements required to be able to complete it. However the clan member
cannot copy techniques that are unique to another bloodline. The Uchiha
clan member is not granted the Sharingan at birth; it is only activated
later in life, typically during a time of emotional stress in the heat
of battle. The Sharingan itself can be transferred to another non-Uchiha
by a medical ninja, such as happened with Leaf ninja Uchiha Obito to his
teammate Hatake Kakashi. Because his body was not born to carry the
Sharingan, the eye is always activated and burning Kakashi's chakra. To
lessen the impact of the Sharingan on Kakashi's body, he normally keeps
the eye hidden and out of use. Also of note, is the fact Kakashi, a non-Uchiha,
was able to advance the Sharingan from two tomoe to three tomoe after
gaining the eye.
The Sharingan itself contains three tomoe (comma). A higher mastery of
the Sharingan can be seen in the creation of a new tomoe in the eye,
with three tomoe being the typical highest form of the eye. The rare
Mangekyou form is a unique evolution of the Sharingan beyond the three
tomoe form, please see its entry for more information. An eye possessing
two tomoe can allow the Uchiha clan member to track the movement of an
opponent and do some minor copying of an opponents attack. For avoiding
incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed and agility will greatly control
whether they can move to avoid it. However, three tomoe will greatly
help in this area.
Two tomoe will also allow the ninja to pierce Genjutsu and see the
surrounding reality for what it really is. It can also allow the member
to pierce another𠏋 body and see their chakra. While the eye is not
refined enough to see the tenketsu and chakra circulatory system like
the Byakugan, it can view the movement and flow of chakra. This can help
them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a
real threat or merely a bun shin.
An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of
an attacker𠏋 next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body.
This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha clan member to
conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize
their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is
even in that spot, essentially allow them to strike out and hit their
opponent before they're even there.
Three tomoe also grants the Uchiha the ability to do Genjutsu and
hypnosis after locking eyes with an enemy. This can be used to cause
their opponent to do an attack of the Uchiha's choosing. This hypnosis
can also be used as a Genjutsu counter, which is the ability to turn a
Genjutsu spell back upon the original caster without the requirement of
forming any handseals.

Mangekyou Sharingan - Kaleidoscope Copying Wheel Eye (Uchiha Clan) |
 |
Character Use: Uchiha Itachi,
Hatake Kakashi
Rank: -
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
|

Sharingan is the
blood inheritance limit of the Uchiha Clan. The Mangekyou Sharingan is a
legendary doujutsu ability which has only emerged in a few clan members
in its history. The requirements for gaining the Mangekyou are very
controversial in nature. After Uchiha Itachi murdered his best friend
Shisui and then wiped out his clan, he gained Mangekyou. He told his
younger brother Sasuke that to gain the Mangekyou form, he too would
have to kill his closest friend. There is still mystery surrounding the
eye and the Uchiha clan itself. Itachi told Sasuke that a scroll in
their clan shrine reveals the true original purpose of the clan doujutsu;
however readers have yet to be told what this secret is. Itachi also
told Sasuke that if he also gains the Mangekyou, then there will be
three people who could handle it. After the time skip in the series,
Hatake Kakashi revealed he had gained a form of Mangekyou, though his
eye did not resemble Itachi's. It is unknown if Hatake Kakashi or his
eye's original owner Uchiha Obito was this third person.
Usage of the Mangekyou techniques drains quite a bit of a user𠏋 chakra,
more so than any other normal technique. The three revealed Mangekyou
techniques are the Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and an unnamed technique.
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are named after mythological deities; they have
a sibling named Susanoo. This unnamed third technique may in actuality
be this one.
The Amaterasu or Goddess of the Sun technique is a Ninjutsu technique
which uses the Mangekyou form to create a powerful black fire. This fire
can then be used to cut through a strong barrier and is said to burn for
7 days and 7 nights.
The Tsukuyomi or God of the Moon technique is a Genjutsu technique which
uses the Mangekyou form to initiate a mentally and physically harmful
illusion. To utilize the illusion, the clan member will look into the
eyes of his opponent and cast a Genjutsu spell on them. The spell takes
place in the mind of the one affected, while the jutsu is cast the one
it was cast upon is at the total mercy of the Uchiha clan member. The
clan member has full control over space and time in the jutsu and can
place the one affected through any hell they desire for any length
desired. The technique itself only lasts for but a second in reality,
but the one affected could have lasted through several days of pain. It
is said only a natural born member of the Uchiha Clan can defeat it,
this may mean either an Uchiha also holding the Mangekyou or one fully
skilled in the three tomoe Sharingan form.
The third technique used by Hatake Kakashi may be called Susanoo or God
of the Sea and Storms. With this technique, Kakashi formed a handseal to
activate his Sharingan and change it into his Mangekyou form. Kakashi
then focused on a point on the body of his target. The area around the
target then began to warp and collapse in on itself, resulting in about
half a meter diameter of area being quickly "sucked" out of existence.
