The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is the answer the Uchiha found: transplanting the eyes of another Mangekyō user to regain sight permanently. According to the story told to Sasuke, the first to achieve it was Madara Uchiha. Not every transplant produces this result; the known cases happen between brothers, both with the Mangekyō awakened. Receiving an ordinary Sharingan, or a stranger's eye, is not the same thing.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-386","pos":386},{"h":"Madara and Izuna","t":"Madara and his younger brother Izuna awakened the Mangekyō in the era of the warring clans. When Madara began to go blind, he took Izuna's eyes and obtained the Eternal. In the manga, that story is told as an account and circulates in different versions, because the people telling it have their own aims. The anime stages it in more detail: Izuna dies after a fight against Tobirama and leaves his eyes to his brother. It is an anime expansion of an event the manga only summarizes.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-368","pos":648},{"h":"Sasuke with Itachi's eyes","t":"After Itachi's death, Sasuke receives his brother's eyes, and his sight, already badly damaged, is restored. He debuts the Eternal during the war, when he fights alongside Itachi against Kabuto. The new pattern combines the designs of both Mangekyō, and from then on Sasuke can use his techniques without the progressive deterioration that was leaving him blind. He still spends chakra and gets tired: the Eternal stops the blindness, it does not make its user inexhaustible.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-553","pos":553},{"h":"What it solves and what it does not","t":"The Eternal restores sight and improves control of the eye, but it does not grant infinite chakra or transfer the donor's personal techniques: Sasuke does not get Tsukuyomi by carrying Itachi's eyes. His techniques are still his own, stronger and steadier. Madara, reanimated during the war, shows how far an experienced user can go, with a complete Susanoo that sweeps the Kage aside, though that also reflects his skill and not just the eye. The bearer's real limit is still their body and their reserves.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-589","pos":589},{"h":"It does not lead to the Rinnegan","t":"For years the Eternal was thought of as a step before the Rinnegan, but it does not work that way. Madara awakens the Rinnegan near the end of his life thanks to Hashirama's cells, and Sasuke gets his in a single eye from the chakra transferred to him by Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths. In neither case does the Eternal transform on its own through training or use. They are different eyes, with different origins, even though both had gone through the Eternal before.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-673","pos":673}],"characters":["madara","sasuke","izuna","itachi"],"related":["mangekyo","rinnegan","susanoo","trasplantes"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 386 and 487–488; chapter 553: Sasuke with Itachi's eyes.","sources":[{"title":"Madara: infancia, Izuna y la fundación de Konoha","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1663"},{"title":"Sasuke: la verdad sobre Itachi y un nuevo camino","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1858"}],"figures":["
