Naruto Shippuden, an anime cherished by many, boasts a rich tapestry of characters and formidable foes. Among the plethora of unique abilities in this expansive world, the Mangekyo Sharingan stands out, granting users the power to materialize chakra and perceive various attacks.
While the Mangekyo Sharingan bestows remarkable strength, it comes at a cost—demanding substantial chakra and causing gradual blindness. Limited to the Uchiha Clan, here are some of the most potent wielders of the Mangekyo Sharingan:
Kakashi Hatake:
Renowned as the Copy Ninja, Kakashi’s non-Uchiha status doesn’t diminish his Sharingan mastery. Bestowed by a friend, he gained the Mangekyo Sharingan after a tragic loss. His prowess reached new heights during the Fourth Great Shinobi War, showcasing a complete Susanoo.
Fugaku Uchiha:
The last leader of the Uchiha Clan, Fugaku’s abilities remain shrouded in mystery, but his leadership role suggests formidable skills. Known as “Wicker Eye Fugaku,” he could reportedly control the Nine Tails with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Izuna Uchiha:
The younger brother of Madara Uchiha, Izuna was a top-tier shinobi and a master of the Sharingan. Equal to Madara in combat, he is credited as one of the first users of Susanoo and Blaze release jutsu.
Indra Otsutsuki:
As the elder son of the Sage of the Six Paths and an Uchiha ancestor, Indra was a ninjutsu prodigy. The second Mangekyo Sharingan user, he possessed complete control over his Dojutsu, unveiling the formidable Susanoo and Hinokagutsuchi.
Shisui Uchiha:
Known as “Shisui of the Body Flicker,” Shisui rivaled Itachi in Dojutsu abilities. His Mangekyo Sharingan granted him the fearsome Kotoamatsukami, allowing him to manipulate others’ wills without detection.
Itachi Uchiha:
Dubbed the “God of Genjutsu,” Itachi, a prodigy, mastered his Mangekyo Sharingan at a young age. His Tsukuyomi technique induced prolonged mental suffering in its victims, establishing him as a formidable force.
Sasuke Uchiha:
Driven by vengeance, Sasuke unlocked his Mangekyo Sharingan after defeating Itachi. Acquiring the Rinnegan later, he gained access to potent abilities like Amaterasu and space-time manipulation.
Madara Uchiha:
A legendary figure, Madara possessed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, enabling him to control the Nine Tails effortlessly. His strategic brilliance and mastery of Susanoo allowed him to single-handedly overcome the five kage.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki:
Revered as the creator of the ninja creed, Hagoromo, despite not being born with the Sharingan, unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan in a quest to save humanity. His battle against the Ten Tails showcased his mastery with the perfect Susanoo.
In this world of shinobi, these Mangekyo Sharingan users left an indelible mark, each contributing to the anime’s allure with their unique and powerful abilities.
