The pair of Mangekyō Sharingan obtained from Kabuto Yakushi was exceptionally special.
In the hands of most powerful shinobi in the Shinobi World, its unique secret technique, Sukunami, could not display its true power.
The conditions required for this technique to take effect were far too demanding, and opportunities for it to have any tangible effect on its caster were even rarer.
