Rinnegan Sasuke

The Uchiha clan 🌑 has brought into the world incredibly talented ninjas and shinobi. If Itachi Uchiha was recognized by everyone for having exceptional fighting qualities, his brother Sasuke, too, had talent to spare! This ninja, initially strong, cold and solitary, became friends with Naruto Uzumaki. At the end of his confrontation with his brother , ⚔️ Sasuke inherited the most powerful Dojutsu from Hagoromo Otsutsuki. This Pupil is one of the Three Great Dôjutsu, which are the Sharingan, the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. It is the last Kekkei Genkai on this list that we will focus on in this article!

The Rinnegan, which can literally be translated as " the eye of Samsara ", is clearly the most powerful of the Dojutsu mentioned above. Any ninja who possesses it reaches a peak of technical mastery rarely equaled in the Naruto universe. It is notable for its rarity – and for the power it grants to anyone who possesses it. Ninjas equipped with the Rinnegan outperform their opponents thanks to better analysis of the fight 🥊 and can thus anticipate all the movements of their opponents. We will discover in this article how far Sasuke has pushed his mastery of the Rinnegan !

What is Rinnegan?

The Rinnegan is one of those powers that is better to have in your own Ninjutsu palette 📜 rather than to face. Going back to the Time of Troubles, it is said that any ninja who mastered the Rinnegan was a being sent to earth from the heavens to embody the " God of Creation ". In other words, whoever wielded the Rinnegan had within them the power to relieve the world of the evils and misfortunes it had to endure. However, this power could also reveal the dark side ⬛ of any ninja or shinobi who came into its possession. Those who took this wrong detour then distinguished themselves by becoming “ God of Destruction ”, being led to reduce the surface of the globe to nothing.

In practice, the Rinnegan is characterized by wave-like shapes , which spread all along the visible surface of its owner's eyeball. As impressive aesthetically as in the destructive power it possesses, the Rinnegan is nevertheless rare and few elders can boast of having seen it appear in the eyes 👁️ of their disciples or enemies.

Jiraiya, for example, himself long thought it was just a legend . Kakashi Hatake, the great master with whom Sasuke Uchiha learned a lot, interpreted it as a genetic mutation , almost as a simple optical decoration, to put it vulgarly. Yet this attribute, beyond the incredible look that he confers on its owners thanks to its concentric circles of gray-mauve color, allows anyone who masters it to assimilate very quickly all the techniques linked to it, but also the other martial arts 👊 specific to the Naruto universe.

Every ambitious ninja has one day dreamed of mastering the five elementary natures of chakra, so as to be able, in time, to simply use all possible combat techniques imaginable! Not to mention that it is also possible to develop assets uniquely linked to the Rinnegan , like the seventh path of Pain, also called " Beyond life and death ", which allows anyone who masters this technique to resurrect those who have just died. Not a bad secret tip, right? ⚰️ If you also want to know more about the Rinnegan and its holders, you should read the article: Who owns the Rinnegan .

When did Sasuke get the Rinnegan? (Episode 135, Chapter 238)

Sasuke Uchiha is one of those gifted ninjas who quickly took the measure of the Rinnegan 🧿 and made incredible use of it. However, it was somewhat against all expectations that he benefited from it. While he was passed out (after fighting Itachi) he discovered that he was the reincarnation of Indra ... who was none other than the eldest son by the famous Hagoromo Ōtstsuki !

When he woke up, Sasuke Uchiha wasted no time and launched directly into attacking Madara. Strangely, it is at this moment that we realize that a crescent moon covered a good part of the palm of his left hand. 🌙 But it was only when he took his first steps on the battlefield that we understood that he truly had the Rinnegan in his left eye.

His Rinnegan also particularly resembled the eye of Jûbi . 👺 A new feature that made more than one Naruto fan salivate, just as the confrontation between Madara and Sasuke was about to begin, in the company of the hero of the series.

How did Sasuke get the Rinnegan?

It seems that Sasuke Uchiha benefited from another helping hand from destiny when he received his Rinnegan, and especially when he awakened it! It was from Rikudô Sennin - Hagoromo Ôtstsuki himself - that he received a significant part of his powers. ⚡ Such a transmission does not happen without reason and it appears that Rikudô Sennin was particularly angry with himself for not having devoted enough attention to his eldest son, Indra (wait!) when he had cherished more than reason is his younger son, the so-called Asura.

By receiving more than half of the chakra that Hagoromo possessed, Sasuke then had the opportunity to awaken the Rinnegan in his left eye , with the particularity of containing six tomoe (we will come back to this later)! Impressive phenomenon, Sasuke's eye was able to retain its Mangekyô Sharingan abilities on his left eye. In this regard, you absolutely have to see him in action when he decides to call on this power to launch eye genjutsu or use Amaterasu 🔥 to create and spread unstoppable black flames.

Why does Sasuke only have one Rinnegan?

Many times the question has been asked: but why does Sasuke Uchiha only have one Rinnegan , while other ninjas like Madara have two? Some say with certainty that the explanation was never revealed, neither in the manga, 📚 nor in the anime. Others are convinced there is an explanation and have already thought about their own theories. Honestly, they are worth reading, as the coherence they give off seems faithful to the universe in which ninjas and shinobi confront each other with great blows of Amaterasu! Here is the one that convinced us the most. The Sharingan and Rinnegan can be combined but become limited.

The reason why Sasuke would only have one Rinnegan is simply because he can still retain all the abilities 📜 of both the Sharingan (in his right eye) and the Rinnegan (in his left eye) at the same time. To be more precise, we are talking here about the abilities of the Sharingan based on the ability to predict the movements of enemies as well as all the other abilities making its owner able to defend himself. This is confirmed with the example of Madara : even though he has the Rinnegan, he must each time call on his Mangekyo Sharingan to be able to launch Genjustu 💤 even though the Rinnegan is still supposed to be a kind of evolution Sharingan final…

Ultimate example, that of Obito, who, like Sasuke, uses a Rinnegan and a Sharingan, because he realized that the abilities of the Sharingan are not necessarily transferred when one accesses the Rinnegan. Sasuke probably made the same observation, believing that it was better to keep all the abilities of these two dôjutsu by keeping one for each eye.

What powers does Sasuke's Rinnegan have?

Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan offers a whole set of technical gestures for total mastery in combat. Here are some elements that prove that his Rinnegan is overpowered:

1. The technique of the six paths of pain

This technique offers its user the ability to control six bodies simultaneously 🧠 and use all of the Rinnegan's abilities through clones. Although it evokes incredible power, this technique is one of the basic Rinnegan techniques and belongs to the category known as “external paths”. From then on, anyone with a Rinnegan can use these abilities, as demonstrated by Pain .

Thanks to his Rinnegan, Sasuke is also able to use this technique against his opponents. And even though he hasn't done it yet in the series, there's no reason to believe he can't use it, especially since he has the abilities related to each of these six paths (the animal, 🐴 preta, deva, naraka, the human, asura and the outer path). The real question is whether he would ever be interested in using it, this technique being particularly destructive !

2. Amenotejikara

Using his left eye, Sasuke can move from one space to another , 🕳️ which implies that he is capable of swapping the places of two objects or even two opponents, but that's not all! By moving to another space during combat, Sasuke can avoid his opponent's techniques in an instant, and by switching places with a weapon, such as his sword, he can leave behind a trap for an approaching enemy . Sasuke can also use this technique to escape restraints and bind an opponent in his place or to get rid of any foreign weapons incorporated into his body.

Despite this technique from his Rinnegan, Sasuke does not need to look at an object to exchange places with it. Sasuke can also target other objects and individuals with this technique in order to move them into a space other than his surroundings. This allows him to teleport a weapon in his hand , or to project one of his techniques, such as Chidori, ⚡ to a distant location. By launching an attack and bringing his opponent to him at the last moment, Sasuke can ensure that his techniques hit their target. However, the opponent must be a certain distance away from him for this technique to be usable, and with sufficient speed it is possible to escape the range of this technique before it can be activated.

While storing the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts in his Susano , Sasuke demonstrated the ability to move, along with his Susano, behind Naruto Uzumaki, 🦊 who was a considerable distance away. When obtaining his Rinnegan, Sasuke had to wait for his eye to recharge after using this technique several times in a row, and excessive use of it would cause the eye to bleed. As an adult, Sasuke is able to use this technique even if the eye power of his Rinnegan is diminished.

An improvement of all his techniques, including Mangekyo!

The Rinnegan not only gives access to new techniques and assets for a ninja, it also makes it possible to exacerbate and elevate to a hitherto unparalleled threshold the other combat techniques that the Shinobi had already acquired. This is how Sasuke was able to improve his Eternal Mangekyo. Already when he had obtained a Sharingan in each eye, Sasuke Uchiha had reached a dimension rarely reached by other ninjas or shinobi. But from the moment he developed his Rinnegan, his powers increased exponentially . All the Genjutsu, Taijutsu 👊 and Ninjutsu techniques that he had acquired through training and hard work became even more formidable weapons.

And it was the same with his Mangekyo Sharingan Eternal, his Susano now had a sword resembling exactly that of his brother, Itachi. And what about the Amaterasu he was capable of deploying? Made entirely of black flames, Susano's sword could repeatedly project fireballs, reducing every ninja who opposed him to a pile of ash. When he developed his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan , 👁️‍🗨️ many agree that Sasuke Uchiha reached the same level of skill as Madara Uchiha himself at this point. To learn more about the Mangekyo Sharingan: the Dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan .

Why does Sasuke have six tomoe in his Rinnegan?

First of all, you must understand that there are three different types of Dojutsu in Naruto. From weakest to strongest, we can rank them as follows: Byakugan , Sharingan 👁️ and Rinnegan . Therefore, you should also know that anyone who owns the Byakugan will keep a Byakugan forever, with the exception that some can still reach the Tensaigan stage. Anyway, let's now come to the two other types that have interested us since the beginning of this article: the Rinnegan and the Sharingan.

As we have seen, on several occasions the Sharingan can transform into a Rinnegan. However, before this, one must complete three well-defined stages: first possess a fully developed Sharingan , then reach the stage of three tomoe , the transformation which follows is none other than the Mangekyo Sharingan , and finally, obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan Eternal . It is only through the latter that one can then acquire the Rinnegan or via a transplantation of it.

As for what the Rinnegan is, it is essentially an evolution of the Sharingan not having the same powers, but having the capabilities to enhance the abilities of a Sharingan user. Additionally, we know that aside from a possible eyeball transplant, 🩺 the Sharingan can only be used by Uchihas. This is particularly why Nagato could not use techniques linked to the Sharingan, even though he had a Rinnegan.

This therefore leads us to our main question: why is the appearance of Sasuke's eyes different from the others? Actually, it's because Madara took Hashirama's Senju chakra 🌳 and combined it with his own , which caused his Sharingan to evolve (and which is actually kind of the only way to evolve a Sharingan). Sasuke did something similar, with the only difference that failing to have collected the Senju Chakra, the sage of the six paths entrusted Sasuke with half of his chakra , which of course represents a father chakra to that of 'Hashirama. Thus, his eyes almost seem to transform into what we could call a " Rinne-Sharingan ", equipped with no less than six tomoe (instead of 9 in his true form). An intermediate evolution which would be between an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and a Rinne-Sharingan.

Why is Sasuke bleeding from his eyes?

The main reason for Sasuke's bleeding eyes is overwork ! 🩸 And yes, even with the power linked to the Rinnegan, his eyes are subject to the risk of being overused. But Sasuke likes his eyes. And he likes their abilities. So, obviously, he abuses it! If you think about it, they really are his most precious thing. So don't yell at us, we of course know he has other abilities too, but all we observe is that for the most part he relies on his eyes ... 👁️

And while we're at it, for fun, couldn't we see it as a sort of material embodiment of Sasuke's emotions? Wouldn't Kishimoto, our favorite screenwriter of all, seek to reveal the pain that Sasuke Uchiha feels deep inside ? Wouldn't tears of blood be a badass way to show your feelings? By constantly displaying his hatred and fighting it, Sasuke's pain only increased, pushing him to the limit, tears of sorrow 😭 and fatigue therefore voluntarily turning into tears of blood. Everyone has their own opinion, but the symbol would be rather beautiful!

The most powerful Dojutsu, the Rinnegan

And that ends this analysis of Sasuke's Rinnegan. Already a master in the art of Genjutsu and all other combat techniques, Sasuke Uchiha took advantage of the opportunity to further develop his skills , to the point of being one of the most powerful ninjas known. was able to see at work.
