This could be him just activating both his eyes' full power at the same time, or in other words, he can activate his Mangekyo Sharingan and Tomoe Rinnegan separately, but he chose to do it at the same time given the circumstances. Thekillman wrote: I don't see why he can't have both powers active in one eye at the same time while the other is deactivated. He can, it's just that if his Mangekyo Sharingan gave his Rinnegan 6 tomoe, then wouldn't his Sharingan give his Rinnegan 3 tomoe?

Also, if the Rinnegan and the Sharingan are in fact the split halves of the Rinne Sharingan, where the Rinnegan gives the rings and the Sharigan gives the tomoe, then what would give the last 3 tomoe to make the 9 tomoe of the Rinne Sharingan?

Plus, Rinne Sharingan has 9 tomoe, and the Sharingan has 3 tomoe, so naturally the Rinnegan would have 6 tomoe.
