It sharpens perception, lets the user analyze techniques and can induce illusions. Not every member of the clan awakens it.","facts":[["Tipo","Kekkei genkai · Dōjutsu"],["Rasgo","Perception, copying and genjutsu"],["Límite","Does not copy every hereditary ability"]],"lvl":0,"sections":[{"h":"What the eye perceives","t":"The Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's ocular kekkei genkai. When it is active, the iris turns red and marks called tomoe appear. Its first showing in combat comes with Kakashi against Zabuza: the eye lets him see the flow of chakra, follow very fast movements and read hand seals so precisely that Kakashi mirrors his rival's water technique almost at the same moment, and even anticipates his words. That reading ability is the basis for everything else: the user sees better, but still depends on their own body, their chakra and their experience to respond to what they perceive.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-15","pos":15},{"h":"How it awakens","t":"Sasuke awakens the Sharingan on the bridge in the Land of Waves, in the middle of his fight against Haku and under extreme pressure, without having killed anyone. The eye does not appear just because someone is born an Uchiha: it takes an emotional trigger, and many members of the clan never manifest it. Nor does it mature all at once. It may show one or two tomoe at first, even a different number in each eye, and complete all three over time. More tomoe mean better perception, not a fixed scale of strength: a mature eye in inexperienced hands does not guarantee winning a fight.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-26","pos":26},{"h":"Copying has limits","t":"Seeing a move is not the same as being able to dodge it. Rock Lee proves it when he beats Sasuke with taijutsu alone, even though the Sharingan lets Sasuke read every blow. Later, in the Chūnin Exam preliminaries, Sasuke uses what he saw to reproduce Lee's moves and finish his match against Yoroi with the Lion Combo. The eye copies what the user is able to perform with their own body and chakra: it does not hand over the rival's speed, their chakra natures or techniques that depend on someone else's kekkei genkai. Whatever is copied has to be sustainable afterward.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-68","pos":68},{"h":"A transplanted eye","t":"Kakashi is not an Uchiha. His Sharingan is Obito's left eye, which Obito gives him on the battlefield shortly before being buried. That is why Kakashi keeps it covered with his headband: since his body does not belong to the clan, he cannot easily deactivate it, and keeping it open drains his chakra the whole time. After using it to the full he usually ends up exhausted. The transplant passes on the eye's ability, but it does not change the recipient's lineage or give them the clan's other traits. Over time, Kakashi's Sharingan earns him a nickname and a reputation that reach far beyond Konoha.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-244","pos":244},{"h":"Genjutsu and reading the rival","t":"Besides seeing chakra, the Sharingan casts and detects illusions. With a glance it can plunge someone into a genjutsu or break someone else's, and Sasuke even uses it to overpower Orochimaru inside his own body. His rivals know it: Deidara trains his eye for years so as not to fall for an Uchiha's genjutsu. Even so, the Sharingan does not grant total immunity against the illusions of a more skilled user. Nor does it include by default techniques such as Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami, which belong to specific eyes at more advanced stages. The power depends as much on the eye as on the person using it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-360","pos":360},{"h":"The origin explained by Tobirama","t":"During the war, Tobirama Senju explains the phenomenon from outside the clan: when an Uchiha suffers a loss or an intense emotion, their brain releases a special chakra that acts on the optic nerves and transforms the eyes. That is why love and pain are so tied to the awakening. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, adds that his elder son, Indra, inherited his eyes and his chakra, and the Uchiha descend from that line. The anime expands the legend by showing Hagoromo and Indra awakening the Sharingan, scenes that are not in the manga.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-670","pos":670},{"h":"Sarada and the new generation","t":"In Boruto's time, the most visible Uchiha is Sarada. She awakens the Sharingan as a child, in the story built around meeting her father again, and refines it through training. In the anime she practices with Konohamaru and copies a rival's lightning during the Chūnin Exam, combining it with a genjutsu. In the manga, her eye helps her analyze Boro's poison mist and find a weak point. Her case confirms the same thing as the earlier ones: the eye amplifies perception, but the outcome depends on her tactical judgment and on the chakra she herself puts on the line.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-41","pos":741}],"characters":["sasuke","itachi","obito","sarada"],"related":["tomoe","mangekyo","genjutsu","chakra","policia-uchiha","trasplantes","kekkei-genkai","sellos-de-manos"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 12–16 (Kakashi and Zabuza), 230 (perception and physical limits) and 619 (Tobirama's explanation).","sources":[{"title":"Kakashi: el Sharingan recibido y la enseñanza del Chidori","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1903"},{"title":"Sasuke: su familia y el camino de la venganza","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1856"},{"title":"Obito: el Equipo Minato y el sueño perdido","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1706"},{"title":"Sarada: familia, Sharingan y el sueño de ser Hokage","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1750"}],"figures":["
