Judging by the way that Kabuto responded to Madara, I assume that Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Danzo have never read the Uchiha tablet.

I always assumed the only requirement to read the Uchiha tablet was their eyes (Sharingan, Mangekyou, Eternal Mangekyou, and Rinnegan).

Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Danzo had access to a bunch of Sharingans and one Mangekyou (Shisui) so they should have been able to read some of the tablet.

If they can't read the tablet even with a Mangekyou does that mean that Uchiha DNA and eyes are required to read the tablet? If that was the case then Orochimaru could have just implanted some Uchiha DNA on Danzo.

Why couldn't Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Danzo read the Uchiha tablet?
Is this just another plot hole or am I missing something?

My favorite thing to say here: It's a manga, not a Bible. Meaning that things aren't always thought out.

Just consider the possibility that Kishimoto did not think about it when he wrote their characters. He's one person and we are millions of readers, of course we are going to find minor plotholes in the story. I never even thought about it and I read and re-read the series.

But it's possible that Orochimaru wanted Sharingan DNA to use the Sharingan. It may even be possible that they DID small portions of the tablet.

Danzo may not have known about the tablet either. Orochimaru would not want Danzo to decipher the tablet, as keeping the secrets of the Sage.... Secret would be beneficial to whatever Orochimaru's ultimate goal would be.

It has been said by kabuto in the manga that they did a lot of reaserch on tablet (thus giving danzo izanagi and enhancing madara) and danzo knew that what he need to cantrol the nine tails and perform izanagi that is engraved on the tablet (hashi cells and sharingan) so it means that he actualy red it.since sasuke red it and knew that sharingan is capable of taming the nine tails.

Because without someone to decipher the tablet it is impossible for oro and kabuto to do reaserch and build a hypothesis about rinnegan, since they don't have sharingan to read it so it is safe to assume that danzo helped them.

You need rinnegans to read the whole thing. But Orochimaru and Kabuto were able to deciphere the Tablet without the rinnegans.

take out the nine tails away from naruto. wat would he have. naruto takes chakra from the fox the fox is its on beast. naruto is his on person. he stills chakra from him evertime he is gonna lose. sasuke doesnt have that support. its pure skill and chidori is one of the most dangerous attacks. hes burning he's arm just to use it.

I already know that information. The point was that why they didn't read the Uchiha tablet at all even with a Mangekyou Sharingan.

I think you're posting on the wrong thread. But I'll respond to you anyways just for fun.

You sound like a complete Sasuke fanboy. If you take away Sasuke's Sharingan then what would he have? If you take away Naruto's Fox then he would still have Sage Mode. Naruto using the Fox's power is basically the same as Sasuke using his Sharingan and natural talent. The fox was given to Naruto at birth just like how Sasuke was given the potential to awaken the Sharingan and his natural talent as a shinobi. Naruto has to train to control the Fox just like how Sasuke has to train to use every technique he has. Being given shots to withstand poison doesn't require skill. Even if Sasuke is given the Nine Tails or Eight Tails and become its Jinchuuriki, with Sasuke's personality, the Tailed beasts will never agree to become Sasuke's friend and lend him their chakra.

this is sooo true...i actually dont think sasuke would get any chakra from the nine tails unless he steals it somehow
