Lastly, he didn't say "my left eye's jutsu needs to recharge," he said "my left eye." When his Rinnegan is overused he's forced to close the eye and can't use it at all. So it makes sense that he refers to his left eye. Elveonora wrote: Sasuke deactivated it as well in The Last, unless you count it as a mistake. Considering the liberties that movie took, can we really count that as evidence? Even the current fillers suggest that he never deactivates Rinnegan. If Sharingan costs so much chakra that it's not always-on, why would the Rinnegan not be similar? But we see Sasuke using it all the time, even against genin, even though his hair obscures it. It even explains why he has his hair like that at all: to hide he has it to begin with.

Elveonora wrote: To me the connection between Sharingan and Rinnegan is simple, they are sibling doujutsu with Rinne Sharingan as the parent. Ah, you mean it that way. Sorry. When i said "sharingan line" i meant the entire tree of eyes from Rinnesharingan to Sharingan and including any deviations and mutations.

Yes i agree, if you drew an ancestor line from the base Sharingan to the Rinne Sharingan, Rinnegan's not included. It's a side-branch. I also don't think Sharingan is a prerequisite for awakening Rinnegan. I know that contradicts my earlier statements in other threads, but considering what we now know of Sasuke's eye, i think it's clear they're different. Namikazenaruto9 wrote: wasn't madara's awakening of the rinnegan gave rise to the theory of rinnegan evolving from sharingan?(and in the filler hagoromo's byakugan became sharingan which evolved into rinnegan) Except that Madara's use of Susanoo without eyes and lack of MS jutsu use suggests he lost those powers in exchange for Rinnegan. Basically, Madara debunks the theory that it evolves: Rinnegan overwrites the Sharingan jutsu, sacrificing it's abilities for the greater power of this eye.

Hagoromo didn't have byakugan in the filler. Rather, the Otsutsuki had white eyes, and eating the chakra fruit turned them into Byakugan.
