Sharingan: Top 10 powers

Ranking of the 10 best powers link to the sharingan

In the Naruto universe, the Sharingan is a dōjutsu that appears in certain individuals of the Uchiwa clan. It first appeared at around the same time as the Byakugan and is considered one of the Three Great Dōjutsu, along with the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. The Sharingan, also called the "Heavenly Eye", possesses several capabilities, including allowing its wielder to track and predict movements, recognize patterns, and read chakra levels. Tobirama Senju described it as the "Eye that Reflects the Heart", due to his belief that it was derived from a person's feelings towards someone else.

10) Chidori

The Chidori was created by Kakashi Hatake after he failed to apply his lightning nature to the Rasengan. He wanted the Chidori to be a weapon used only to protect friends and loved ones. To perform, the user first gathers lightning into their hand; the high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of the chirping of many birds, hence its name. The lightning chakra has sometimes been shown to damage the user's hand, peeling the skin, and causing it to smolder slightly, but it doesn't appear to be actually debilitating. Once chakra is collected, users charge into their target and ram the Chidori into them, piercing them and usually causing fatal damage. Despite the noise it makes, the rapid speed at which it is used makes it useful for assassinations.

9) Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi

Kagutsuchi is an ability that is used in tandem with Amaterasu. The Kagutsuchi can be used to help control and contain the Amaterasu. This ability has only been used by Sasuke Uchiha. It is part of the Enton-type techniques, it consists of modeling the Amaterasu to make it a defense and even a counter-attack technique. Sasuke masters this technique using his right eye.

In Japanese mythology, Kagutsuchi is the son of Izanagi and Izanami.

8) Tsukuyomi

Tsukuyomi is a technique mastered by some Uchiha, such as Itachi Uchiha, and one of the most powerful illusions known in the manga, allowing the opponent to be imprisoned in a virtual world where he is totally at his mercy.
Tsukuyom is the god of the Moon and the night in Shintoism and Japanese mythology. He lived in heaven with his sister, the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu.

7) Kamui

Kamui is a spatio-temporal Mangekyô Sharingan technique that generates a parallel dimension and allows you to manipulate the border between this world and the original one. This technique therefore grants different abilities, the most remarkable of which are teleportation and dematerialization. As for the Mangekyô Sharingan, certain powers of the Kamui are associated with the right eye, others with the left eye and the most powerful with the union of the two.

6) Amaterasu

Amaterasu is an ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan. The Amaterasu produces dangerous black flames. The user of the jutsu will focus on where they need the flames to appear and these can only be extinguished by the person who created them.

5) Izanagi

Izanagi is a genjutsu. The Izanagi creates an illusion that is so powerful that it becomes reality. This jutsu gives the caster full control over the created reality for as long as the jutsu is active.

This technique can only be used by those who possess or have acquired the genetic characteristics of Rikudô. The Uchiha, who descend from the Sage, can use it at any time with their Sharingan. However, in return for the total freedom of action for the duration of the technique, the eye used becomes blind: it is for this reason that this technique was declared forbidden by the clan.

4) Izanami

3) Kotoamatsukami

Kotoamatsukami is a dōjutsu that casts a powerful yet subtle genjutsu that controls the target's mind.

In Shinto, Kotoamatsukami, is the collective name for the first gods that appeared at the time of the creation of the universe.

2) Mangekyō Sharingan

The Mangekyō Sharingan is an advanced form of the Sharingan that was only activated by a handful of members of the Uchiha clan. They are noted for being “Heavenly eyes that see the truth of all creation without obstruction”

Unlike the regular Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan is a unique looking pupil for each user, though all have a pinwheel-like appearance. This pupil is initially awakened following a trauma related to the loss of a loved one. The Uchiha clan has historically misinterpreted this criterion for awakening, believing that the user must be responsible for the death of their loved one. For this reason, they have developed a practice of killing their closest friends, in order to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

1) Rinnegan

The Rinnegan is reputed to be the most powerful of the "Three Great Dōjutsu", the others being the Sharingan and the Byakugan. It was said that in times of trouble, the one who wields the Rinnegan is sent from the heavens to become a "God of Creation" who will calm the world or a "God of Destruction" who will bring everything to nothing. The Rinnegan is characterized by a wave pattern that spreads across the entire eyeball. The Rinnegan is characterized by concentric circles with the center of the pupil, the iris and the sclera being gray-violet in color.

It is possible to awaken a new Rinnegan by obtaining Hagoromo's chakra either by combining the chakra of his sons, Asura and Indra, to recreate his own, or by receiving it directly from Hagoromo.
