{"id":"rinnegan","name":"Rinnegan","japanese":"輪廻眼","category":"eyes","subtitle":"Not every Sharingan's automatic destination.","summary":"An exceptional dōjutsu tied to Hagoromo and the power of the Six Paths. It is recognized by its concentric rings.","facts":[["Aspecto","Concentric rings"],["Origen","Hagoromo · exceptional conditions"],["Importante","Not all of its bearers awakened it"]],"lvl":1,"sections":[{"h":"The eye of legend","t":"The Rinnegan is an eye with a pale iris and concentric rings. According to legend, the Sage of Six Paths, founder of ninshū, had it, and it is considered the rarest of the dōjutsu. Jiraiya had seen it years before in Nagato, an orphan boy from the Rain whom he trained, and that is why, on meeting Pain and seeing that eye, he immediately guesses his former student is behind it. The anime expands the origin by showing Hagoromo awakening the Rinnegan during his clash with his mother, a scene the manga does not present.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-375","pos":375},{"h":"Pain's Six Paths","t":"Pain fights with six bodies that share the Rinnegan's vision, and each one uses a different ability. The Deva Path attracts and repels; the Asura turns the body into a mechanical arsenal; the Human extracts the soul and reads minds; the Animal summons creatures; the Preta absorbs chakra and techniques; the Naraka summons the King of Hell, who interrogates and repairs bodies. They are not six people with their own Rinnegan: they are corpses controlled through chakra receivers by a single hidden user. That coordination is what makes them so hard to defeat one by one.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-379","pos":379},{"h":"The Outer Path","t":"Behind the six bodies is Nagato, who controls everything through the black chakra receivers. That ability belongs to the Outer Path, the Rinnegan's power over life and death. Nagato shows it to the very end with Samsara of Heavenly Life, a technique that brings back everyone who died in the attack on Konoha, at the cost of his own life. The Rinnegan has clear costs: Nagato is emaciated, can barely move and depends on a machine. The eye is powerful, but it wears down its user beyond what their body can bear.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-449","pos":449},{"h":"Whose eyes they were","t":"Nagato is not an Uchiha. He says his eye awakened when his parents died, but the truth comes out later: the eyes were Madara's, implanted in Nagato as a child so he would keep them until the time came to take them back. After Nagato's death, Obito keeps them and comes to use the Rinnegan in one eye, with limited abilities, combined with his Sharingan. That path shows that a Rinnegan's bearer is not always the one who awakened it, and that transplanting it does not change the recipient's lineage.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-657","pos":657},{"h":"Madara and his two Rinnegan","t":"Madara awakens the Rinnegan near the end of his life by combining his chakra, that of Indra's reincarnation, with the cells of Hashirama, Asura's reincarnation. Once reanimated, he recovers first his right eye and then his left, and with them unleashes his full power. He uses Limbo, invisible shadows that strike from another plane and that only a Rinnegan can see, and finally reveals a third eye on his forehead. That third eye is something else: the Rinne Sharingan, which should not be confused with the Rinnegan.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-676","pos":676},{"h":"Sasuke's Rinnegan","t":"Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan in his left eye after receiving Hagoromo's chakra. His eye is different from Nagato's and Madara's: it keeps tomoe over the rings. With it he sees Madara's Limbo and gains Amenotejikara, a technique that swaps his position with that of another object or person within a range. Hagoromo explains that by combining Naruto's chakra with that eye, they can undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Even so, it is not a limitless eye: it needs time between uses and depends on the user's chakra and condition.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-692","pos":692},{"h":"A lost eye","t":"In the Boruto era, Sasuke uses the Rinnegan to travel between dimensions and track the Ōtsutsuki, a task only he can carry out. That dependence becomes a problem when Momoshiki takes over Boruto's body in the middle of a battle and damages the eye, leaving Sasuke without access to those abilities. The anime shows the same event as a Rinnegan torn out. The loss confirms that even the rarest eye in the saga can be put out of action and that, without it, Sasuke keeps fighting with his Sharingan and his experience.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-53","pos":753}],"characters":["madara","sasuke","obito","nagato"],"related":["indra-asura","amenotejikara","pain","chakra","trasplantes"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 373–374 (Rinnegan), 509–510 (transplant), 670–674 (Hagoromo and Sasuke), 675–676 (Madara and Limbo).","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"},{"title":"Naruto y Pain: contexto para la historia de Nagato","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1611"}],"figures":["
