Sharingan

Sharingan Edit

Sasuke's Sharingan.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke possesses the Sharingan, the clan'skekkei genkai. This dōjutsu grants Sasuke all the Sharingan's standard abilities such as analysing and predicting movements, as well as copying enemy techniques into his arsenal. He first developed it at age 7, during Itachi's departure from Konoha after the Uchiha clan massacre, with one tomoe in each eye, but Sasuke had forgotten he had activated the Sharingan from being traumatised by the incident. He was able to reactivate it during the battle withHaku, where his right eye acquired two tomoe in it. By the time he fought Rock Lee, both eyes had two tomoe. During his battle against Naruto at the Valley of the End, it reached completion with three tomoe in each eye. In developing his Sharingan prowess, Sasuke drastically increased his time periods to which he can maintain it, with little effect to his chakra levels, even in prolonged fights against several high-level opponents.

While making good use of it in Part I, Sasuke also developed a number of more novel uses for it in Part II. During his encounter with Naruto, Sasuke's Sharingan could enter Naruto's subconscious and effectively suppressed Kurama's chakra. In this instance, the tailed beast compared Sasuke's visual prowess to that of Madara Uchiha.^[57] In Part II, Sasuke regularly uses his Sharingan genjutsu abilities, which grew considerably strong, to easily hypnotise opponents, replay memories,^[58] paralyse his target,^[59] and control a mighty summoned creature like Manda.^[60]When Orochimaru later tried to take over his body, Sasuke was able to use his Sharingan to turn Orochimaru's technique against the Sannin. He was also able to break out of Itachi's Tsukuyomi after enhancing his Sharingan
