'evolution of Sharingan'
Why exactly do we say that Sharingan evolves into Rinnegan? Is it actually true? Wasn't it just Orochimaru and Kabuto's hypothesis, which is incorrect. As shown, both the Sharingan and Rinnegan have origins within the Rinne Sharingan, so Rinnegan can't be evolution of the Sharingan, they are 2 pieces of the original form.--Elve Talk Page 17:13, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with Elve here, it's not true.

EDIT:Err... where does it say that it's evolved form is the Rinnegan? the article also talks about the hypothesis.--Mecha Naruto (talk) 17:23, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sharingan#Evolution the Rinnegan article also talks of Sharingan becoming Rinnegan, but where did people get this from? It was only a hypothesis of Orochimaru and Kabuto, probably knowing that both clans are descended from Hagoromo, that combining powers of Uchiha and Senju makes the Sharingan progress beyond, into the Rinnegan. But they got it wrong, combining powers of Uchiha and Senju isn't enough to manifest the Rinnegan, it has to be chakras of Asura and Indra, likewise, the Sharingan doesn't become the Rinnegan, they are separate doujutsu.--Elve Talk Page 17:51, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

I would agree, but if the Sharingan wasn't needed to get Rinnegan than Naruto would have awakened it when Hagoromo gave him half of his chakra. You still need the Sharingan to get Rinnegan... QuakingStar (talk) 18:02, December 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Honestly, it's a jumbled mess. But in just about every instance, Sharingan has to evolve into a Rinnegan. Otherwise what would basically have to happen was that the Sharingan eye would have to be removed and replaced with a Rinnegan, which we know isn't the case. For example, Madara's eyes evolved into a Rinnegan after he got some Senju in him (ha!) and for a more fudge you example, the anime shows that Hogoromo started out with a Sharingan before getting the Rinnegan. Hell I even believe we've seen with Sasuke uses up too much chakra his Rinnegan devolves back into a Sharingan. So the Hypothesis isn't actually wrong. Just a weird case where the originator of the dojutsu; the Rinne Sharingan, devovles after successive generations.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 18:48, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * @Quaking, that's not how it works, Hagoromo gave Naruto different part/aspect of his chakra than to Sasuke. Think of chakra as genome, just like different genes make it up, different aspects of chakra can be shared/inherited. Take Ten-Tails for example. It's not like Shukaku lets say has 10% of the Ten-Tails' chakra volume, rather it has 10% of the Ten-Tails' chakra genome/sequence. Obviously Naruto and Sasuke weren't given exactly the same chakra, otherwise both would have received same traits.
 * @Ulti, what the Sharingan is, is special brain chakra exhibited by certain members of Uchiha Clan, Indra and possibly Hagoromo, excreting into the optic nerve, affecting it, it's Sharingan only when said chakra transforms the eye, otherwise it's just an ordinary eye. As Madara demonstrated, he could switch from Rinnegan to Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. If his Sharingan had evolved into Rinnegan, it would have disappeared with him being unable to access the power, which is not the case. And when did we see that?--Elve Talk Page 19:32, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, switching is not an argument since all we know that MS is surely an evolution of the regular Sharingan, but it doesn't mean that its user cannot use Sharingan anymore; in fact, all the MS users preferred to use norman Sharingan and switched to the MS when it was really necessary. Yet we always call MS a Sharingan evolution and have no doubt about it.
 * Either it doesn't seem that Hagoromo gave Naruto/Sasuke different chakra types, it's the same Six Paths Chakra all the way the only thing which differs is the infuence it has on each of them. SPS affected Sasuke's eye nerve and turned it into the Rinnegan, but it was possible only due to the eyes already being influenced by a special chakra and developing into Sharingan > MS (> EMS). "Sharingan" component is an innate trait of all the Indra's reincarnates, the same way as "body" component always belonged to those of Asura. Hagoromo's chakra just strenghened both of these components and upgraded them to the new stages which Hagoromo himself possessed. So technically, Rinnegan is still a Sharingan evolution, it surely doesn't stem from it, but is a more advanced and ancient version of which got dulitued over the time and thus can be recreated only with certain conditions met. Ravenlot 27 (talk) 19:50, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I was talking about Madara switching to EMS to cast genjutsu, showing that both doujutsu were available, meaning the Sharingan didn't become Rinnegan. And I disagree about that, they didn't receive the same chakra. If Sakura were to receive the entirety of Hagoromo's chakra, she would get Rinnegan (possibly Sharingan too) and Six Paths Senjutsu, there is no requirement of one possessing eyes and getting eye upgrade and the other possessing body and getting better body or whatever. Also 'Six Paths Chakra' isn't some special chakra type, it hasn't been stated anywhere, so I have no idea why we label it chakra type and state it does this or that, it's only a description and could possibly just mean 'Hagoromo's chakra'--Elve Talk Page 20:01, December 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Bump, besides a hypothesis in-series which was wrong, it has not been stated anywhere that Sharingan evolves into Rinnegan/Rinnegan is higher level of Sharingan or wharever, there is no evidence for that, but there is plenty contrary evidence for that, so I can't comprehend and help myself but wonder, why is it stated as a fact over this wiki? I miss the days when ShounenSuki was around and things got double checked. Nowadays, this wiki has many things that we have no idea what they are, what they mean, what the context is, but we pretend that we do in the articles (example Six Paths Chakra, should be removed as a chakra type and as a section in characers' abilities, since we have freaking no idea what it is or if it even is chakra type) I don't understand why it has become a problem to say: 'It's unknown what x means, how x works etc.' instead we must make up something and pretend it's factual.
 * Bump--Elve Talk Page 00:48, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * With regards to the Rinnegan, I still think the eye basically went down a line of devolution, weakening, whatever you want to call it. But if it makes you feel better, remove it.
 * In regards to the Six Paths Chakra, I don't know why it is considered it's own chakra thing. I think it was Seelentau that stated that all instances of "Six Paths Chakra" did imply that it was it's own separate thing or something.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 14:02, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * Techically, Rinnegan can still be considered a Sharingan evolution, since it's a necessary part for Rinnegan awakening. Not every Sharingan can evolve into Rinnegan (it usually must contain Indra's chakra, i.e. it's his Sharingan or that of his reincarnates), yet here can be no Rinnegan without Sharingan, to put it plain and simple. We don't know how Hagoromo achieved it in manga (already after the birth/some time afterwards, with/without Sharingan as intermediate), but anime has shown us the version that includes Rinnegan's evolution from the Sharingan as well. Rinnegan = Asura's body power + Indra's eyes power, thus it can be considered an evolution of both of the components, depending on the perspective (which component was the innate trait for the user). Ravenlot 27 (talk) 14:40, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd still point out to the whole Rinne Sharingan just getting progressively worse with each generation as being enough honestly. Yes I know brain chakra makes the Sharingan and then magic turns that Sharingan into a Rinnegan. But the crux I'd argue is that in absolutely zero cases did the Rinnegan appear in anyone without first having the Sharingan first. Madara had to have the Sharingan, then years after sticking Hashirama into, his Sharingan turned into a Rinnegan. When Sasuke got Six Paths power, his Sharingan turned into a Rinnegan. In the anime (yes this happened no, you don't get to ignore it) Hagaromo started out with a Sharingan before it turned into a Rinnegan. The only one I believe does not follow this trend is that guy from the Boruto movie and I have no idea how he got Rinnegan in his hands.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 18:52, December 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * But my entire point is that the Sharingan doesn't turn into the Rinnegan. It's a separate doujutsu awakened by recreating Hagoromo's chakra. Let me make it easy to understand for you people, Naruto expanation style:


 * Rinne Sharingan is vodka with juice
 * Sharingan is juice
 * Rinnegan is vodka
 * juice doesn't become/transform into vodka, they are both there as separate unmixed ingredients

Sharingan is part of Indra chakra. When Asura chakra is added, the Sharingan doesn't become Rinnegan, the Rinnegan is awakened as a separate doujutsu, meaning both Sharingan and Rinnegan are present.--Elve Talk Page 04:21, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * The point is, doujutsu aren't drinks. By this logic, Sharingan also doesn't become an MS, since MS can be activated/deactivated at will and thus is a separate doujutsu. The awakening of one doujutsu of the higher class doesn't automatically make the previous doujutsu of the lower class completely unavailable, as evidenced by all the MS users and two Rinnegan users (Madara/Sasuke). Otherwise, MS must be treated as a stand-alone doujutsu and no Sharingan evolution, but it clearly isn't the case, since there is no MS without Sharingan in the first place. Rinnegan is a part of the same chain, it cannot manifest without Indra's chakra, the latter already influencing the eye nerve and turning it into Sharingan/MS. It doesn't simply require Hagoromo's chakra recreation (otherwise, Naruto would've also awakened it after receving his chakra directly), it also requires these influenced eyes or eyes' "tendency" to be influenced by special chakra which only Sharingan users, no, rather Indra's descendants, possess. Ravenlot 27 (talk) 09:20, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, if you are going to completely ignore what I say and think your own version, of course you will disagree. Mangekyou Sharingan is just the highest stage of Sharingan. It's awakened with one tomoe, then second appears and then third, Mangekyou is end of the progress, think of it as a child growing up into adult. Mangekyou is part of the Sharingan Kekkei Genkai, not a separate Kekkei Genkai... so you are getting this part, but Rinnegan is different, it's NOT part of the same chain. It requires both Indra and Asura's chakras, which equal Hagoromo's chakra and I already explained to you why Naruto didn't awaken doujutsu. He simply wasn't given the same aspects of Hagoromo's chakra as Sasuke. Say I have dark brown hair and my child inherits my genes, so by your logic he/she must also have dark brown hair, well that's not how it works. Just like one's genome, Hagoromo's powers are vast, just because he shares some of his power with someone doesn't mean all of his powers are transferred to the individual. The best proofs I can give to you, that Rinnegan ISN'T part of the Sharingan line, but rather a sibling doujutsu is that Madara still could switch back to Mangekyou Sharingan, not only could, but rather he had to in order to cast Genjutsu, because Rinnegan doesn't have Sharingan powers with the exception of Sasuke's, hence it's not an evolution.

Second, Nagato couldn't use Sharingan, well why do you think that is? Because Rinnegan is freaking separate doujutsu, not an evolution of the Sharingan, not part of the same chain. Madara's eyes could be only either Sharingan and Rinnegan at a time, never both at once. Each doujutsu having different powers, they are 2 separate doujutsu which are not progression of the other. Nagato received Madara's eyes transformed into the Rinnegan, hence there is no Sharingan chakra in there, end of story.--Elve Talk Page 16:57, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Well I believe Nagato turned the Rinnegan on, while in rage. Otherwise his parents would have noticed his weird eyes already. I think the Rinnegan didn't stay on until he killed the Iwa Chunin. So Nagato "awakened" it hence himself believe he awakened it and it was his. He had normal black eyes beforehand(madara's eyes) QuakingStar (talk) 17:16, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * He might have, yes. But my point is that there was no Sharingan chakra in Madara's eyes when they were put into Nagato, hence why Nagato used Rinnegan but never Sharingan, because the two are separate doujutsu not different stages of the same line. More evidence to my statements are that Sharingan and Rinnegan are both one of 3 great doujutsu, hence they can't be the same line. Furthermore, if Rinnegan were an evolution of the Sharingan/if Sharingan is what becomes the Rinnegan, then Obito would have awakened Rinnegan, which he didn't, it's not the Sharingan that evolves into Rinnegan, it's combination of chakras of Indra and Asura which makes it manifest.--Elve Talk Page 17:41, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Obito said Hagoromo's elder son inherited his father's "eyes", which we now know to be the Sharingan rather than the Rinnegan or some in-between dōjutsu. He cites the stone tablet as his source for this information, meaning this was written either by Hagoromo himself or Black Zetsu, both of whom are knowledgeable on the subject — the former having owned the Rinnegan and the latter knowing exactly how to recreate it. If the Sharingan and Rinnegan truly are completely separate, this would mean Hagoromo must have had the Sharingan as well, which was never confirmed outside of the most contradictory filler arc in the whole series. When Hagoromo revealed the fact that his chakra could awaken the Rinnegan, he wasn't telling Naruto the exact instructions for doing so, just how Madara happened to do it. There may be nothing (aside from Kabuto's unreliable hypothesis) stating that the Sharingan is a requirement for obtaining the Rinnegan, but there's also nothing denying it either. So the articles should probably say it's only Orochimaru and Kabuto's theory, but it shouldn't be removed entirely unless it's truly stated somewhere, since we can only theorize.--BeyondRed (talk) 19:07, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, my personal opinion is that of course Hagoromo must have had the Sharingan as well indeed, but not because of his Rinnegan, but separately. I mean, it's a contradictory notion in itself... If you people insist that Rinnegan is an evolution of Sharingan/Sharingan evolves into Rinnegan, then according to your own assumption then, Hagoromo must have had the Sharingan as well since he had Rinnegan, by yourselves declared Sharingan evolution.

Momoshiki as well had the Rinnegan, so if you declare it an evolution of Sharingan, Momoshiki must have had the Sharingan as well. I say no. I see it that Kaguya has the Rinne Sharingan, Hagoromo inherited it in a split form as both the Sharingan and Rinnegan, while Indra inherited the Sharingan, but the Rinnegan part is split in between his chakra and Asura's. So the Rinnegan isn't a Sharingan evolution, it's a sibling doujutsu and it's possible to have a Rinnegan without having a Sharingan and if a Sharingan wielder receives Rinnegan, his/her Sharingan doesn't evolve into Rinnegan, both will be separate still present doujutsu as in case of Madara.--Elve Talk Page 22:10, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * How about instead of me going on to talk contrary to beliefs of you people, rather you explain the rationale behind your assertions and provide sufficient evidence (canonical please, no filler/games etc.) that I'm wrong and Rinnegan is indeed Sharingan evolution, which is something that through analyzing everything we know and applying common sense, I strongly disagree with. Regardless of theoretical Rinnegan wielders predating Hagoromo (Momoshiki is a very unclear case) he was the first on Earth and his mother, Kaguya, had the Byakugan and Rinne Sharingan. The Rinnegan came from the Rinne Sharingan and so did the Sharingan, which Hagoromo might or might not have had, but the progression is as follows:


 * Mother = Rinne Sharingan
 * Son = Rinnegan and 'possibly' Sharingan as well
 * Grandson = Sharingan

Both appearance and power-wise, the Rinnegan is nothing like Sharingan, completely different. Yet, the Rinne Sharingan was said to hold powers of the Sharingan, it doesn't make sense for Sharingan to be Rinnegan 'devolution' / for Rinnegan to be Sharingan evolution, because it would be like this:
 * Kaguya's eye has Sharingan powers
 * Hagoromo's eyes lose Sharingan powers and have completely different powers in their stead
 * Indra's eyes lose Rinnegan powers and all of a sudden Sharingan powers from Kaguya are back

If it doesn't make it so obvious that Rinnegan and Sharingan are 2 distinct, but sibling doujutsu, descended from the Rinne Sharingan, rather than different stages of progression in same evolutionary line, then I don't know what does. Rinne Sharingan is parent and both Rinnegan and Sharingan are its children. To say that the Sharingan is a devolution of Rinnegan and it can evolve back/Rinnegan is highest form of Sharingan and Sharingan is a devolution or whatever, is completely retarded and doesn't make a bit of sense whatsoever.--Elve Talk Page 02:36, December 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * I would say this is relatively important, greater participation would be appreciated.

The concepts of chakra are not made clear, I know that when Asura and Indra's chakra were fused inside a person's body, the person will get the power of Hagoromo, the Rinnegan or Six Paths Sage Mode. Hagoromo simply enhanced the innate powers of Naruto and Sasuke. I think Rinnegan cannot devolve into Sharingan but Sharingan can evolve into Rinnegan, the latent powers were passed down to their children. Kaguya had Rinne Sharingan then Hagoromo had Rinnegan but he also had Sharingan genes which were passed down to Indra. Think of it like this- Rinnegan has the highest power, therefore a person born with Rinnegan will not need a lower form like Sharingan or it will not become a Sharingan. A person who has developed a Sharingan and obtained chakra to get Rinnegan can use Sharingan powers through Rinnegan for example, Sasuke casts Amaterasu through his Rinnegan. Sasuke's eye lost a tomoe when his chakra was low but it did not turn into Sharingan. Madara, on the other hand, can switch from Sharingan to Rinnegan with his fake eyes of Edo Tensei. A new requirement would be that a person must have a Sharingan along with Indra and Asura's chakra (or a perfect balance of these chakras), an individual with a Sharingan can get Rinnegan if he has Indra and Asura's chakra fused within him. In case of Naruto he may not get the Rinnegan, but if he has Sharingan implanted in him, there is a high chance that he might get Rinnegan.--Mecha Naruto (talk) 10:22, December 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree about that, even if Naruto got a Sharingan transplant, he would get no Rinnegan, no evidence he has the Indra part of chakra as well, Hagoromo having given power to each of them doesn't mean they got all of it or that both got the same part of his power. Also once again that only shows that Sharingan doesn't evolve into Rinnegan. Kaguya had Rinne Sharingan, Hagoromo had Rinnegan and possibly (but not confirmed in canon) Sharingan as well and Indra had Sharingan, so if anything, Rinnegan evolved into Sharingan and Sharingan becoming Rinnegan would be a 'devolution' but once more, there is no factual evidence that that's the case of what happens, beside Kabuto and Orochimaru's hypothesis which was wrong, merely an educated guess, because that's what seemingly happens. I'm quite confident that Rinnegan and Sharingan are separate doujutsu. One can have Rinnegan without prior having a Sharingan and it's not someone who has Sharingan who can get Rinnegan, it's one who has Indra's chakra specifically, who can get Rinnegan by getting Asura's chakra as well, recreating Hagoromo's chakra. Sharingan has nothing to do with Rinnegan, besides both doujutsu descending from Rinne Sharingan and Hagoromo just happening to also have power of Sharingan, either active or dormant, along with power of the Rinnegan. The only canonical evidence for Hagoromo having the Sharingan is that Indra was said to have inherited his eyes. But it's also logical that Hagoromo likely had the Sharingan, since as shown by both Madara and Sasuke, having received the Rinnegan didn't make the Sharingan power disappear. In case of Madara, it was clearly shown that both are separate doujutsu and regardless of him having had the Rinnegan, the Sharingan was still available and both doujutsu could be switch in between. In Sasuke's case, power of his left Sharingan merged with power of Rinnegan in one, almost recreating a sort of semi-Rinne Sharingan, further showing and proving that Rinnegan didn't evolve/devolve into Sharingan or Sharingan can be evolved/devolved into Rinnegan, but rather both are distinct doujutsu with common ancestor, the Rinne Sharingan and that having power of one isn't dependent on having power of the other.--Elve Talk Page 14:44, December 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Bump. I see people in here pretty much stopped caring about what is and isn't in the articles and how legit it is.--Elve Talk Page 20:03, December 14, 2016 (UTC)
