Discover the 7 eyes in Naruto and Boruto

The eyes in Naruto always give the owner different special powers. The use of these characters' special eyes makes viewers extremely excited every time they appear. So let's learn more about the eyes in the two anime series Naruto and Boruto with TipsMake.com.

Byakugan – White Eye

Byakugan is the kekkei genkai of the Hyuga clan. It is possessed by clan members such as Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and Himawari. The Byakugan are distinctive white eyes with no pupils, and when used, veins appear on the temples.

Possessing the Byakugan grants the user a 360-degree field of vision. Byakuya has only one blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebra (near the back of the neck). This is also the only weakness of this eye, as of now.

The owner of the Byakugan can perceive anything within a 50m range and was developed up to 800m by Hyuga Neji. Thanks to this eye, those who possess the Byakugan become experts in close-range combat.

Once activated, the user can see through most materials. This makes them extremely useful for searching, tracking, and identifying targets. At advanced levels, the user can see individual tenketsu, allowing them to completely shut down an opponent's chakra flow and render them unable to perform chakra-based techniques.

Sharingan – Sharingan

Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. This eye has the ability to memorize any technique that the owner has ever witnessed. This allows the owner of the Sharingan to copy and perform techniques such as ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu perfectly. However, to do so, the owner of the Sharingan must have the physical abilities such as the amount of chakra, stamina, agility and strength needed to perform the said technique. At the same time, the Sharingan cannot copy other kekkei genkai or summon creatures without a prior contract.

Another ability of the Sharingan is that it allows the owner to predict the movements of opponents as well as track fast-moving objects clearly. In addition, the Sharingan also has a unique hypnotic ability.

Unlike the Byakugan, the Sharingan can be completely blocked if the vision is blocked. It is also not available from birth but is only activated in situations where the Uchiha clan member is in danger. After the first activation, the Sharingan owner can use it whenever he wants.

The strength of the Sharingan is determined by the number of tomoe in the eye, and it is not uncommon for each eye to have a different number of tomoe (for example, Sasuke's Sharingan initially had two tomoe in one eye and one in the other). A fully developed Sharingan has three tomoe in each eye. In addition to the basic form, the Sharingan eyes in Naruto also have two more advanced forms: the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Mangekyou Sharingan can only be activated when the user possesses a basic Sharingan and undergoes a psychological trauma. The Mangekyou Sharingan grants the user different abilities such as the Amaterasu flames or performing Susanoo. However, the user of this eye technique will pay a heavy price, with severe vision loss after each use and eventually blindness.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can only be obtained by receiving it from another member of the Uchiha family. This grants the recipient the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan without losing their eyesight.

Rinnegan – Samsara Eye

This is the eye that very few people in Naruto can awaken. The Rinnegan is always activated, it is capable of creating all kinds of ninjutsu and makes the user almost godlike. The Rinnegan gives the user the ability to use the Six Paths Technique. When near the moon, the Rinnegan Sharingan will awaken on the user's forehead, from which it can cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, enveloping everyone under the moonlight in a genjutsu. The Rinnegan also has the ability to repel light and when used with Susanoo, it can prevent others from resisting in the genjutsu it creates. Becoming the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails also requires the Rinnegan.

An interesting point about the Samsara Eye is that it gives different powers to each user. For example, Sasuke can switch places with an object or person within a certain range, creating portals to other dimensions. As for Momoshiki, the Rinnegan can absorb any other ninjutsu or chakra.

Those who possess the Rinnegan include: Sage of the Six Paths, Nagato, Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Nagato, Sasuke Uchiha, Zetsu, Urashiki Otsutsuki, Kara's Ten-Tails, and Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Tenseigan – Heavenly Eye

Tenseigan is the eye that holds the most destructive power and power in the ninja world on the Moon. Hamura Otsutsuki is the first person to possess this eye. The two conditions to possess this eye are: a descendant of Hamura and that person must be implanted with the pure Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

Tenseigan's powers are not yet revealed, but it can be said that it has the abilities of the Six Paths, the 5 basic chakra systems, and Yin-Yang sage power.

Kessuryugan – Blood Dragon Eye

This is a little-known eye in Naruto because it only appears in some individuals of the Chinoike clan. It allows the owner to control the flow of blood, or more precisely, control the iron in the blood. From there, they can control any liquid containing iron, causing the opponent's body to explode if they want.

Rinne-Sharingan – Samsara Sharingan

This is the combination of the Samsara Eye and the Sharingan Eye - the two eyes considered the strongest in Naruto. It has an enormous power that few can control. It was created to control genjutsu throughout the world and travel between dimensions. Only the owner of the Rinne-Sharingan can perform the Infinite Tsukoyomi.
