Background / History
The Sharingan is one of Uchiha Yang's autonomous body parts. Before Yang realizes his body is acting independently, it trains on its own and promises to grow strong enough for him to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan. During the attack on the Uchiha compound, it eagerly takes control of Yang's sight, locks onto targets, and urges the rest of his body to fight. 1 2
Its early goal is singular: acquire the Three-Tomoe Sharingan through combat and stimulation. It reaches two tomoe during the raid, then awakens its third tomoe amid the destruction caused by Uzumaki Jiusen's sealing scroll. 2 4 Yang's later emotional response to the massacre of Uchiha children causes the Sharingan to evolve into Mangekyou. 6
As a Mangekyou, it develops Nightmare World, an illusion technique used to drive Black Zetsu away. The technique's heavy ocular-power consumption leaves its vision blurred, reinforcing the danger of repeated Mangekyou use. 27 28
Personality
The Sharingan is aggressive, competitive, and obsessed with becoming stronger. It repeatedly demands more enemies, more killing, and greater stimulation to advance its tomoe. During the Uchiha compound raid, it wants to “dye the clan grounds red” and dismisses elite jonin as insignificant once it reaches Three-Tomoe. 2 5
It frequently bickers with the Brain, Hands, Legs, and elemental affinities, but it can recognize useful plans and cooperate when necessary. It is notably sensitive about its status as Yang's eyes and reacts defensively when accused of being reckless or perverted. 6 12 16
Abilities & Skills
Dōjutsu Perception
The Sharingan enhances Yang's visual awareness in battle, allowing it to lock onto enemies and identify abnormalities that others may miss.
- Locks onto targets during Yang's Chidori charge against an Uzumaki ninja. 2
- Detects something unusual in a river before three wandering samurai emerge from it. 23
- Three-Tomoe users can maintain visibility through the steam created by colliding Fire and Water Release techniques. 24
Three-Tomoe Genjutsu
After attaining Three-Tomoe, the Sharingan can trap opponents in powerful illusions.
- Overwhelms Uzumaki Jiusen with an illusion of countless blood-red eyes, inducing extreme fear, rapid heartbeat, respiratory distress, and bleeding from his seven orifices. 5
- Its Three-Tomoe state provides enough combat pressure that an elite jonin's movements can be clearly observed and anticipated. 4
- Can assist in resisting or exploiting openings created by enemy sealing techniques. 4 5
Mangekyou Sharingan
The Mangekyou is the Sharingan's evolved state, awakened from Yang's emotional upheaval and desire to preserve his peaceful life. 6
- Its ocular power can suppress and control Kurama; Kurama states that a single glance completely controlled him. 33
- It shatters the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique when Uzumaki and Senju forces attempt to seal Kurama. 36
- Mangekyou power is explicitly associated with progressive vision loss when overused. 16 28
Nightmare World
Nightmare World is the Sharingan's Mangekyou ability. It turns an opponent's deepest fears into repeated, realistic nightmares, with mental harm returning as physical damage. 27 28
- Draws Black Zetsu into a twisted illusion immediately after he attempts to attack Yang. 27
- Forces Black Zetsu to relive the sealing and re-sealing of Kaguya thousands of times within a Nightmare Cocoon. 28
- Inflicts double the damage from the target's deepest nightmare. 28
- Consumes substantial ocular power and leaves the Sharingan's vision blurred after use. 28
Relationships
- Uchiha Yang — Its master and host; the Sharingan trains independently to make Yang stronger and acts when he is asleep or drunk. 1 2 27
- Brain — Frequent argumentative counterpart; the Brain criticizes the Sharingan's recklessness, while the Sharingan mocks its plans and priorities. 2 6 12
- Hands and Legs — Fellow autonomous body parts; they cooperate in combat but regularly compete over credit and insult one another. 2 5
- Black Zetsu — Target of Nightmare World; the encounter leaves Black Zetsu severely damaged and fearful of Yang. 27 28
- Kurama — Restrained and controlled through Mangekyou ocular power; Kurama recognizes the eyes' overwhelming suppressive effect. 33 36
Story Role / Major Arcs
Uchiha Compound Raid
The Sharingan awakens alongside Yang's other body parts during the Uzumaki attack on the Uchiha compound. It drives the body toward battle, reaches Two-Tomoe, and relentlessly seeks the stimulation needed to reach Three-Tomoe. 2 3
Battle with Uzumaki Jiusen
After awakening its third tomoe, the Sharingan enables Yang to cast a devastating genjutsu on the elite jonin Uzumaki Jiusen. The illusion debilitates Jiusen long enough for Yang to execute him. 4 5
Mangekyou Awakening and Clan Acceptance
Yang's desire to defend his peace evolves the Sharingan into Mangekyou. Later, Yang frames the Sharingan to the Uchiha as the reflection of love rather than a cursed power, helping clan members confront the trauma behind their own awakenings. 6 21
Black Zetsu Encounter
When Black Zetsu approaches the sleeping Yang, the Sharingan activates Mangekyou and traps him in Nightmare World. Although Black Zetsu escapes, he suffers severe backlash and withdraws in fear. 27 28
Kurama's Taming and the Sealing Battle
The Mangekyou's control over Kurama helps Yang secure the Nine-Tails as his pet. When Uzumaki and Senju forces later attempt to seal Kurama, its ocular power breaks the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique and frees him to retaliate. 32 33 36
