Appearance
Uchiha Tamaharu's appearance undergoes significant transformations depending on his activated abilities and evolutionary stages. Initially, he possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan without side effects, granting him immense power and a vast amount of Chakra, comparable to Madara Uchiha before his death 34. His physical fitness is also several times stronger than before 34. When he first masters Sage Mode, he develops two small, dark red dragon horns on his forehead and purple eyeshadow around his eyes, which he considers his most stable Sage Mode state, avoiding scales or other animalistic features 108.
His various forms and ocular patterns include:
- Mangekyo Sharingan: Initially, his Mangekyo Sharingan is activated without side effects, providing immense power 34.
- Rinnegan: After injecting improved First Hokage Cells, his Mangekyo Sharingan transforms into the Rinnegan, featuring concentric circles 108.
- Sage Mode: In his perfected Sage Mode, he exhibits two small, dark red dragon horns and purple eyeshadow around his eyes 108. This state can be sustained for over half an hour without actively absorbing natural energy 108.
- Six Paths Mode: Upon inserting the Hogyoku into his chest and lifting his seals, he enters Six Paths Mode. In this state, his skin turns milky white, and nine Truth-Seeking Balls manifest behind him 256.
- Otsutsuki Evolution: Following an evolution with the Otsutsuki bloodline, his skin rapidly turns snow-white, a third eye (Byakugan) opens on his forehead, and his Rinnegan develops nine tomoe, shifting its base color from blue to blood-red 214.
- Post-Cataclysm Appearance: After the "Living World Cataclysm" event, his skin returns to a normal complexion, though several white markings stretch from his cheeks to his ears, resembling ritual face paint 277. His eyes remain the Rinne Sharingan, his forehead still bears the Byakugan, and his hair color reverts to black, making him appear more human and less like an Otsutsuki 277.
- Clan Mark Activation: When activating the Clan Mark, a faint white light emits from his forehead, his Rinne Sharingan's base color turns black with white tomoe, and the third eye (Byakugan) on his forehead emits a yellow light, evolving into the Tenseigan 316. In this combat mode, a black and white garment, manifested from Reishi, quickly appears on his body 316.
- Susanoo: He can summon a Susanoo, which can be further transformed into a Majestic Attire: Susanoo, significantly increasing his strength 130 132.
- Dharma Heaven and Earth: By the battle against the Nether Grade Demon Emperor, Tamaharu's Dharma Heaven and Earth can be maintained for an extended duration 432. His Law Manifestation Heaven and Earth is powerful enough to confront the Demon Emperor directly, although one of its arms is destroyed after the enemy's power surges 433.
