How did Kakashi get his Sharingan!

Even though he’s not an Uchiha, Kakashi unleashed his Sharingan against Zabuza and the fans have been wondering what happened particularly the new fans who are only beginning to discover Naruto’s world.

All of these questions are addressed in the story of Kishimoto sensei within the actual story! However, for those who aren’t aware of it, let’s jump straight into the story!

How did Kakashi get the Sharingan?

Team Minato

In his beginning days as a shinobi, Kakashi was a member of the Team Minato; with Minato Namikaze as his sensei and Obito Uchiha as his sensei. Rin Nohara.

Obito despite being an Uchiha was a lot less able than Kakashi in all aspects. Obito was unprofessional in his behavior and proud of his heritage to be an Uchiha.

He believed that once he activated his Sharingan He would be the most powerful. And, in addition, the idea of one day becoming the Hokage.

In their time as a trio, they were the first to see that the great third ninja war began. But, before the war even begins Kakashi receives a promotion into the position of Jounin.

In the course of the conflict, Minato and his team were involved in missions across a variety of fronts. 

One of them was when Minato’s team Minato was required to destroy the Kannabi Bridge in Kusagakure. The demolition of the bridge would cut off the supply of supplies by enemies.

The team is about to enter Kusagakure the scouts are looking for an Iwagakure Shinobi. Kakashi is trying to take him down using his new Chidori. 

However, due to the tunneling effect, Kakashi opens up an opportunity to counterattack. In turn, the forces Minato to take out the Iwa Shinobi himself.

He also recommended Kakashi not utilize Chidori ever again. Meanwhile, Minato receives an order to fight Iwagakure Shinobi on another front, leaving Kakashi as the commander.

It’s the same scene where Minato kills 1000 shinobi on his own. When Minato departs, the group is snatched by team members of the Iwa Scout, which end up abducting Rin as well!

Then, Obito offers to go after Rin to save her, whereas Kakashi prioritizes the mission. Then, Obito gives his famous line about friendship, which makes Kakashi be honest about the trauma he has suffered.

After a change of heart, Kakashi joins Obito and fights with the Iwa Scout team! In this fight, Kakashi loses his left eye. Additionally, Obito finally unlocks his Sharingan using 2 tomoe. Thanks to this they overcome the Iwa Scouts team.

When they free Rin and Kakashi, the cave which they were keeping the captives collapses upon itself. In order to save Kakashi as well as Rin, Obito pushes them away and crushes his entire right side beneath the weight of a massive stone.

Obito who is aware of his death Obito, knows his inevitable death, offers Kakashi his remaining Sharingan to celebrate his promotion to Jounin. Jounin. So, he grants Kakashi the Sharingan.

The other Uchiha from the village was not opposed to Kakashi having the Sharingan since it was the final desire of a young boy.

After receiving his friends’ Sharingan as a present, Kakashi earned him the moniker “Kakashi of the Sharingan”. 

Kakashi’s proficiency with borrowing his Sharingan was so good that Itachi Uchiha considered him one of the most brilliant among Uchiha was awed by his skill!

How did Kakashi get Mangekyou Sharingan?

How did Kakashi get Mangekyou Sharingan

Kakashi and Obito were the first to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan following Kakashi mistakenly killing Rin by cutting through her chest by using his Chidori.

All this began when the Mist Ninja, under the control of Madara had secretly taken Rin and sealed Isobu, The three-tailed beast that was inside her in the Third Great Ninja War.

The mist ninja put on a Forbidden individual curse tag as well. This tag could break the seal of Isobu immediately after Rin Kakashi and Rin Kakashi come back to Konoha.

Madara’s motivation to make Rin a sacrifice was to control Obito. He believed that Obito will surrender the dark sides of him when he witnessed the death of his beloved; and give up hope in the world.

If Obito didn’t change his mind, Madara prepared a plan B. If Rin reached Konoha and escaped, the possibility was that he would at least get revenge on the village hidden in the leaves.

Everything went according to Madara’s wishes this time. His scheme to have Obito witness Rin’s demise worked.

Rin decided she needed to die in order to ensure that Leaf village does not suffer. But, she was unable to commit suicide. So, she pleaded with Kakashi to murder her instead.

As one would think, Kakashi declined. He had pledged Obito to defend her by giving up his life. However, Rin knew that her life would put the lives of thousands of villagers in danger.

To avoid this, Rin committed suicide by jumping into Kakashi’s Chidori which could have struck the Mist Ninja.

Even so, Kakashi didn’t witness this by herself. Along with the other mist ninjas Obito was witness to this horrific scene too.

The pain and terror that two Sharingan holders experienced was something they’d not imagined.

Kakashi killed her lover whom she had promised to protect. Obito watched his closest friend commit murder and who was he believed would protect her more than his own life.

As you might know, the Sharean user has to endure immense pain or trauma to bring the Mangekyo Sharingan to life. A strong emotion such as anger, fear, or sadness can help develop the Sharingan.

Rin’s passing triggered a tsunami of emotions among the two, leading to the two awakening to the Mangekyou Sharingan. 

However, There’s a thing to be noted that each of Kakashi and Obito activated Mangekyou Sharingan separately.

They woke up the Mangekyou Sharingan by reliving their experience from this event.

Many believe it was Obito awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan that automatically granted Kakashi a Mangekyou mode, too.

Kakashi was a victim of extreme trauma and fear as well. He was able to wake up his Mangekyou Sharingan.

As Kakashi fell unconscious due to exhaustion, Obito instantly showed just how tough his Magnekyou Sharingan was.

He was into a rage that has left a mark on the history of animanga; it is considered to be among the best and most violent and emotional violent scenes.

However, Kakashi did not seem to utilize it often until the beginning in Naruto Shippuden; he awakened it in the early years. There are many reasons why he didn’t and the reason he shouldn’t have.

However, it appears that Kakashi utilized the Mangekyou Sharingan first time in the fight against Deidara and he was unable to handle him using an ordinary Sharingan.

Additionally, this was a post-time skip. This means Kakashi doesn’t need to guard three rookie Genins. Naruto as well as Sakura’s development created space for Kakashi’s growth too.

It is essential because Kakashi could not utilize his Mangekyou Sharingan more than two times per day! He’d need a week of bed rest because he’s no longer an Uchiha.

But wait! Kakashi was using Susanoo to battle Kaguya in the past, isn’t that right? Therefore, he must have two Sharingans? Yes! He did! Madara taking the Sharingan was not enough to stop copying ninjas at bay. Copy Ninja down!

There’s a reason solid for this as well. It’s a matter of the principle of Ninshu that the Sage of Six Paths regularly was a practitioner and preacher!

Which way did Kakashi obtain to have the Sharingan on both sides of his eyes?

Kakashi was given a pair of Sharingan within chapter 688 in the manga following the death of Obito. 

In chapter 688, Kakashi and Obito came in to serve in the role of shields to Naruto as well as Sasuke in the battle against Kaguya; Obito used his Kamui to save Kakashi.

When he succumbed to the attack of Kaguya, Obito perished and his soul was reincarnated into the afterlife. In the afterlife, Obito came across Rin and said he would save Kakashi to the end of time.

To ensure that Kakashi is able to fulfill Obito’s dreams of becoming Hokage.

Hokage. To assist Kakashi Obito’s soul comes back and will transfer Sharingan chakra into Kakashi which allows Kakashi to manifest as an ideal Susanoo.

What is the process by which the chakra transfer takes place? How did Kakashi get the Sharingan in both of his eyes at the same time? I explain. First, you must keep Obito’s promise in your mind.

As Obito mentioned in chapter 688 in chapter 688, Obito’s Sharingan was able to function for a brief period. 

When Obito’s chakra stopped existing in the world of humankind the spirit of Obito left to the afterlife, taking the Sharingan along with it.

Wait again! The Sharingan can be used even when the user who created it dies does it not? This is evident in the cases of Danzo, Shisui, and Itachi. Then why wasn’t it done earlier?

The reason behind Kakashi having a Sharingan on both of her eyes comes from the way that chakra operates. We are aware that every aspect of the Shinobi world is connected through chakra. Souls too are made up of Chakra!

As an example, Minato’s spirit was imprisoned in the Shinigami’s stomach; and his Yang chakra that is Kurama. This is because of the sealing technique that he does.

We do have a chakra-like copy of his in the seal of Naruto, why is that? This is because of is the essence of the soul within Naruto’s universe. As chakras are shareable, they are split (Shadow Clones) and the soul is the chakra. It may exist in multiple locations.

The concept of Ninshu is in the picture in this case. The concept of Ninshu is derived from the concept of One For All and All For One. As is well-known, Naruto employs a variety of Hinduism in addition to Buddhism principles.

The chakra, too, is a binder force in every single Naruto-verse. It means that anything and everything is linked by it. In the Naruto-lore world, people can share chakra with the other.

So, we can see part of Minato’s spirit inside Naruto’s seal as well as Kushina’s soul. In addition, Danzo was able to make use of the Sharingan’s from dead Uchihas because of his physical possessing the eyes of Sharingan!

And, to that, he is able to give himself with chakra. If this weren’t the case, Kakashi could not have been able to access Obito’s Sharingan initially.

In the fourth Shinobi War, Obito didn’t change his eyes into Kakashi. Instead, his soul (chakra) was possessed by Kakashi through his own Juubi increased Sage Chakra and granted Kakashi an opportunity to share the Sharingan.

We now know when and the method by which Kakashi was born with Sharingan’s there is still a concern about his eye is still to be answered! There has been a lot of speculation about whether Kakashi might be able to turn off his Sharingan similar to other Uchihas. Let’s find out!

Why Can’t Kakashi Turn Off His Sharingan?

Why Can't Kakashi Turn Off His Sharingan

Uchiha clan Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan comes from the Uchiha family. This means that only people born as Uchiha is able to use it effectively.

Sharingan is a form of energy that Sharingan is formed when an Uchiha is experiencing extreme emotions, whether positively or negatively. It is because their brains release a certain chakra to the optic nerves.

This flow of energy is a result of time and the ability to train Uchiha’s learn how to control. The requirement for chakra to activate Sharingan is lower when you have an Uchiha body compared to a non-Uchiha physique.

Therefore that, when a person who is not an Uchiha receives a Sharingan the brains of their recipients are biologically incapable of altering the flow of the chakra through the optic nerves. Thus Kakashi’s Sharingan is always active.

It also requires an enormous amount of chakra in order to keep it going!

Due to these limitations, Kakashi does not overuse his Sharingan and that is why the Sharingan will never be turned off!

After the 4th Shinobi battle, Kakashi is no longer possessing the Sharingan. This eliminates his main drawback of excessive chakra exercise.

However, this is a double-edged sword since with the loss of his Sharingan; Kakashi can no anymore use his signature moves, Raikiri and Chidori.

Final Words

Kakashi was given Kakashi received the Sharingan as a present from Obito who was halfway beneath the rock. The unfortunate incident occurred when the team Minato returned after having saved Rin.

Kakashi has awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan following the time that Rin took her own life by walking into the path to the Chidori. 

Madara had designed the entire event by sealing Isobu within Rin and guiding Obito to the spot in which Rin passed away. 

This resulted in immense pain and trauma to the two Kakashi and Obito which caused the two to be awakened by the Magekyou Sharingan.

This is why I hope this article can serve as a useful answer to your query! 

In conclusion, the story that follows Kakashi along with Obito is as heartbreaking as it gets. Do share your thoughts about it in the comment section below!
