Sasuke Uchiha is an incredibly powerful individual in the Naruto series. Fans know him to be a monster in terms of strength and skill, and much of that is down to his Incredible usage of the many Kekkei Genkai that he has gained over the years. Of course, it is no surprise for the fans to know that Sasuke possesses a wide variety of Kekkei Genkai.
In fact, not only does he possess a wide variety of these powers, but he can also be considered to be the very best user of the Kekkei Genkai abilities among the ninjas in the Naruto World. Over the years, Sasuke has perfected their usage tremendously, and he continues to be influential in Boruto with his powerful Kekkei Genkai as well.
Sasuke’s Sharingan
Sasuke Uchiha’s First Kekkei Genkai Was His Sharingan
The Sharingan is the first Kekkei Genkai of Sasuke, and this came as no surprise to the fans, given that he was born in the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha are blessed with the power of the Sharingan, and Sasuke made tremendous use of this ability. Sasuke first awakened the Sharingan during the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, however, the trauma from it kept him from properly remembering that he had awakened this amazing power. It was later, during the Land of Waves, that Sasuke was able to reawaken this power, and this time, gain control over it. In the Land of Waves arc, Sasuke’s Sharingan had progressed tremendously. In one of his eyes, he had two tomoe, and in the other, he had one.
When an Uchiha individual writhes in agony over the loss of a great love or disappointment in himself, a unique chakra gets released inside his or her brain and reacts with the optic nerves, and changes appear in that person’s eyes. This is the phenomenon called the Sharingan… The Eyes That reflect the heart.
In the Chunin Exams arc, he had two tomoe in both of his Sharingan. By this time, Sasuke had also gained great control over this eye, and he had even copied several abilities. Sasuke could also see things better, and he had trained his body enough to react to the things that he was seeing. It can also be said that his Genjutsu probably was also growing and that just went to show how skilled of a ninja Sasuke truly was at this point in the story.
During his fight against Naruto Uzumaki in the Valley of the End, Sasuke was able to fully mature his Sharingan. Finally, he had three tomoe in both Sharingan, and he was incredibly efficient at reading the most intricate movements, and retaliating with powerful abilities at the same time. Sasuke had copied several techniques by this time in the story, and his eye certainly helped him greatly when it came to defeating Naruto Uzumaki. From here onwards, Sasuke’s eye evolved even further, in Naruto Shippuden, thanks to his training with Orochimaru.
In fact, Orochimaru could not beat him at this point in the story, given that he was way too powerful. His ability to see through ninjutsu had grown as well, and at the same time, the amount of abilities that he had copied had evolved as well. He was far beyond the likes of Naruto in terms of skill at the beginning of the series, and that was truly a testament to his amazing Kekkei Genkai evolution.
Sasuke’s Mangekyo Sharingan
Sasuke’s Second Kekkei Genkai Evolved From His First
Sasuke’s true powers were brought forth in the Naruto Shippuden series, when he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Sasuke truly awakened after he found out the truth about Itachi’s past. At this point, he felt true remorse and pain, which led to the awakening of this amazing Kekkei Genkai. Of course, it gave him tremendous abilities, which he grew into slowly. At first, Sasuke had no idea what this eye did, aside from allowing him to read movements better, and seeing things clearly. However, in his fight against Killer Bee, he evolved greatly. Sasuke finally got the ability to cast powerful Genjutsu, but at the same time, the biggest ability that he gained was the power of Amaterasu.
These eyes can see fine in the darkness!!
Furthermore, not only that, he also learned the power to control the black flames through Kagutsuchi. These were the two distinct abilities of his eye, and it is safe to say that Sasuke wielded them with tremendous control over the years. With time, Sasuke’s eyes grew even further, and while he did endure some damage to his eyes, he immediately fixed that with the transplant of Itachi’s eyes.
With that, Sasuke gained the power of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which granted him tremendous abilities. Now, he could use Amaterasu, as well as Kagutsuchi, greatly without putting too much strain on his eyes.
Furthermore, he could also use the Full Body Susanoo, which fans know to be extremely overpowered. Using these powers, Sasuke was easily one of the strongest individuals in the Fourth Great Ninja War, and he earned praise from even the likes of the Kage who were reincarnated. That said, having this was not enough for Sasuke to reach the next level in terms of power. Sasuke still lost his battle to Madara Uchiha, and this showed that there was room for more growth in this character. From there onwards, Sasuke ended up meeting Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who granted half of his chakra to him, allowing for the awakening of his final Kekkei Genkai.
Sasuke’s Rinnegan
Sasuke’s Ultimate Kekkei Genkai Is The Rinnegan
In the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke finally managed to awaken his ultimate ability. As mentioned earlier, this change came about when Sasuke died at the hands of Madara. He met Hagoromo in the world between life and death, and there, the sage offered him half of his chakra. Upon receiving this chakra, Sasuke manifested a Rinnegan in his left eye, which meant that he could now utilize Six Paths Yin powers. The power boost that this eye gave him was immense. Sasuke was much faster and stronger than before, and where he couldn’t even scratch Madara in combat, now, he could even bisect him easily in his 10 Tails Jinchuriki form. Sasuke could overpower Madara in combat with his Rinnegan, and that was an incredibly massive achievement for him.
In terms of what power Sasuke gained with this new Kekkei Genkai, he had the ability of all the Six Paths that the Rinnegan is known to have. Sasuke could summon animals if he wanted to with the Rinnegan, or he could create mechanical extensions from his body. Sasuke could absorb chakra if he wanted, or summon the King of Hell. Sasuke could even extract the soul of an individual, or use the attractive and repulsive powers. Above all, Sasuke could bring someone back from death with the power of Rinne Tensei. These were the Six Paths Powers that Sasuke could use, even though he has not accessed every single path even to this date.
Above all, fans know that Sasuke gained the ability of Amenotejikara, which allows him to swap places with any object in close vicinity. He could also use this power to swap the places of two other objects and cause confusion in the midst of battle. As his Rinnegan matured, he could open portals to other dimensions, which showcased tremendous control over this eye. By far, the Rinnegan is Sasuke’s strongest Kekkei Genkai. Unfortunately, he ended up losing this power in the Boruto series. However, the chances for him to somehow regain it later down the line still remain.
Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of Boruto, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 9, is set to be April 20, 2024.
