Along with the series’ main character, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha is one of the most significant figures in the Naruto universe.
Sasuke was born a genius of the Uchiha family, bestowed with the Sharingan’s power, and was destined to become a great ninja.
Sasuke advanced significantly throughout the years and, by the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, had become one of the strongest characters thanks to his clan’s eyes and a bright mind to use them to the best advantage.
Sasuke acquired several power-ups over the years, including the Cursed Seal, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, none of them had the same impact on him as the heavenly eye of the Rinnegan, which he ultimately attained in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
What is Rinnegan?
The Rinnegan is regarded as the most sublime of the “Three Great Djutsu,” along with the Sharingan and the Byakugan.
At times of disorder, one who wields the Rinnegan is presumed to be sent down from the heavens to become either a “God of Creation” who will calm the earth or a “God of Destruction” who will bring all to nothingness.
Rinnegan have extremely potent chakra and huge ocular power, to the point where an unworthy wielder fears “losing themself” after implanting one. Their full strength can only be unleashed by their original possessor, especially when holding both eyes, although even a single transplanted Rinnegan can provide devastating force.
Who is Sasuke Uchiha?
Sasuke Uchiha is one of Konohagakure’s few surviving Uchiha clan fellows.
Sasuke made it his life’s objective to avenge his clan when his older brother, Itachi, killed them. After becoming a ninja, he joins Team 7 and begins honing his talents via battle with his competitor and best friend, Naruto Uzumaki. Dissatisfied with his progress, he defected from Konoha in order to get the strength necessary to take his retribution.
Years of seeking vengeance and subsequent actions make him increasingly demanding, erratic, and isolated from others, causing him to be labeled as an international criminal.
Why does Sasuke Rinnegan have 6 tomoes?
Sasuke Rinnegan’s six tomoes signify how charged his powers are. If he ends up using his Rinnegan too much, the tomoes vanish.
The Manga doesn’t go into detail as to why Sasuke possesses these tomoes. But we can make a few guesses!
Sasuke Rinnegan may have tomoes for several reasons, the first of which may be to show that he can use his EMS.
The second explanation or the most plausible reason for this is that Rinnegan is a successor of the Sharingan.
Also, Rinne-Sharingan is wielded by Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Kaguya.
Thus, unlike Madara who lacked the pure concentration of Otsutsuki chakra, Sasuke received chakra straight from Hagoromo, which might have enhanced his Sharingan to the first copy of Rinne-Sharingan.
It is explained up front why this is the first copy of Rinne-Sharingan.
Sasuke Rinnegan might have received tomoes from Kishimoto to represent his Uchiha Clan bloodline, of which he is very proud.
Powers and Abilities of Sasuke Rinnegan
Rinnegan features extremely potent chakra as well as tremendous visual power.
The Rinnegan can see invisible barriers as well as the flow of chakra throughout the body.
With the Rinnegan, one can quickly learn any Jutsu as well as the five fundamental nature transformations.
It is the only Dojutsu capable of fully deciphering the stone tablet of the Sage of Six Paths.
Pattern Recognition
One of the skills Sasuke’s Rinnegan possesses is the ability to recognise patterns.
It enables him to interpret what is written by analyzing patterns included in codes and comparing them to other patterns.
When used, he can glean a lot of knowledge from a small amount of text.
Amenotejikara
Sasuke has been granted the power of the Sage of Six Paths, and as a result, he is able to perform the space-time technique known as Amenotejikara.
It enables Sasuke to rapidly switch positions between any two targets within a certain range and is the technique he uses the most.
Sasuke can move between areas by utilizing his left eye, which causes whatever is already there in the space he targets to switch places with him.
He can use this move to break free of the hold and tie an opponent in its place.
Sasuke may use this skill to target other things and people and move them to different areas of his environment. However, for this to work, the adversary must be close enough to him.
After using this technique several times in quick succession, Sasuke had to wait for his eye to recharge before using his Rinnegan.
Sasuke can now use this method even though the power of his Rinnegan is waning.
Space-Time Ninjutsu
Users can control the space-time continuum with Space-Time Ninjutsu methods.
While it’s uncertain if he can reverse the effects on himself, Sasuke can use it to observe aberrations in time.
He can instantly transport anything to another location by warping it into a spatial void by manipulating a certain point in space.
Along with the ten trapped beasts, he can summon other creatures.
Since barriers only cover the dimension they are erected upon, Space-Time Ninjutsu enables him to get beyond any Barrier Ninjutsu.
The same is true for users of Space-Time Ninjutsu escaping into a dimensional void.
When he was an adult, his Space-Time Ninjutsu had developed to the point that it could traverse dimensions.
Shinra Tensei
The Rinnegan’s Deva Path uses a technique called Shinra Tensei.
Only individuals who are proficient in manipulating the five fundamental nature transformations can use Shinra Tensei. By exerting a “repulsive force,” the user pushes everything nearby away.
Sasuke has fulfilled all requirements and is qualified to employ the Shinra Tensei because he has awoken his Rinnegan and mastered all five fundamental nature changes.
Kamui
An extremely tragic experience, such as witnessing a loved one pass away in front of your eyes, can awaken a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Every Mangekyo Sharingan is different. With the Mangekyou Sharingan of Obito Uchiha, one can perform the space-time ninjutsu known as Kamui.
Sasuke can’t use Kamui because he already possesses his particular talent, Amaterasu. But he can use his Rinnegan to acquire comparable abilities.
Tsukuyomi
Tsukuyomi, one of the most potent genjutsu in use, is Itachi’s Mangekyou Sharingan dojutsu.
The user can lure a target into his illusion after making eye contact with them.
The user can torment the victims for days’ worth of torture in a matter of seconds thanks to this ground-breaking capacity to change the targets’ perception of time.
Sasuke has never exposed the Tsukuyomi since he removed Itachi’s eyes to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Instead, he has awoken exceptional powers for both of his eyes, including Amaterasu. Therefore, Sasuke is unable to employ Tsukuyomi.
Six Path Techniques
The distinctive techniques granted by the Rinnegan are derived from the Six Paths Technique.
Each of these methods is available to those who wield the Rinnegan.
These skills enable Sasuke to see undetectable targets, ward off the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi, and transform his Susanoo into a conduit for the chakra of the tailed monsters, similar to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The following are the techniques:-
| The Deva Path | The Deva Path enables the user to control forces and draw or repel people and objects. The Chibaku Tensei ability, which comes with the Deva Path, enables the practitioner to conjure forth a sizable terrestrial body out of the surrounding stuff. |
| The Asura Path | The Asura Path enables users to improve their physical makeup in order to conjure mechanical armor and a variety of ballistic and mechanical weapons. |
| The Human Path | A Rinnegan user who uses the Human Path can read the thoughts of any target by putting his hand on that target’s head or chest. Additionally, it has the power to expel the soul from the body. However, the target is ultimately killed using this technique. |
| The Animal Path | The Rinnegan user has access to a variety of summonable animals and creatures thanks to the Animal Path |
| The Naraka Path | By employing the King of Hell, the Naraka Path grants the user two key skills. The King of Hell emerges from the earth as a massive head engulfed in flames. It also has a shared field of vision and the Rinnegan. The Naraka Path also has the power to undo any harm that has been done. |
| The Outer Path | The Outer Path is a talent that gives Rinnegan users the capacity to command both life and death. Through the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, the practitioner of this power can bring the dead back to life, but only at the price of the user’s life. This path enables the creation of black receivers, which the user can then use to channel their chakra into and bind whomever they come into contact with. The user can remotely reanimate and manipulate the dead as the Six Paths of Pain by implanting black receivers into their corpses. |
How Sasuke awakened the Rinnegan
One of the Three Great Eyes in the Naruto universe, together with the Sharingan and the Byakugan, is the Rinnegan.
The Rinnegan eye is the most powerful of the three and is known to only awaken in those who significantly change the course of human history.
One with the Rinnegan is renowned for drastically altering the world; that is, for either bringing peace and harmony to the world or causing complete anarchy.
This only serves to highlight how significant Sasuke Uchiha’s character was to Masashi Kishimoto.
Sasuke and Naruto are two sides of the same coin, as he has said numerous times.
Sasuke has also been referred to as the Yin to Naruto’s Yang since he frequently makes them advance simultaneously.
Sasuke obtained the Rinnegan as an equivalent enhancement to Naruto’s Six Paths Sage Mode power.
However, acquiring Rinnegan isn’t quite simple. There are only three known people in the entire Naruto universe that have this power.
The Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, originally owned the Rinnegan.
This eye was passed down to him by his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, who possessed the Rinne Sharingan, a Kekkei Mora that was connected to both the Sharingan and the Rinnegan.
The Uchiha clan was established by Hagoromo’s son, Indra Otsutsuki, who also inherited the Sharingan’s vision abilities.
The Uchiha were his offspring, and as such, they were all heirs to a portion of the power possessed by the Sage of Six Paths.
However, in order to awaken the Rinnegan, one would have to unite the might of both of Hagoromo’s sons in order to develop his chakra.
As a result, only their reincarnations or others using their chakra are capable of awakening the Rinnegan.
When Madara Uchiha was Indra’s reincarnation, he was the first to awaken this eye.
The combination of these two powers caused the Rinnegan to awaken. He stole the flesh of Hashirama, who was Asura’s reincarnation.
Indra Otsutsuki’s reincarnation, Sasuke Uchiha, encountered Hagoromo in a near-death situation during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Hagoromo, like Naruto, donated Sasuke half of his chakra, which caused his left Sharingan to change into a Rinnegan.
Conclusion
- Sasuke is one of the most powerful Shinobis in the entire world, along with Naruto. He was an important player in the Shinobi War and contributed to the peace we enjoy today.
- While both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were given the Chakra of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, they each grew to have unique abilities.
- His Rinnegan kept both its original and new abilities, such as Amenotojeikara, Chibaku Tensei, etc., because it was an evolution of his pre-existing Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Sasuke’s Rinnegan, in contrast to the Sharingan, is always in use and cannot be restored to its initial state.
- The Rinnegan, along with the Sharingan and the Byakugan, is known as the “Three Great Dojutsu,” with the Rinnegan being the most exalted eye. It is distinguished by an all-over ripple pattern on the eyeball.
- By collecting Hagoromo’s chakra, either through the union of his sons’ chakra or directly from Hagoromo, a Rinnegan can be awakened.
