Hashirama gave Sasuke something to bind/suppress Madara's sage mode right? Well now it's irrelevant. I know the author wouldn't introduce something like that and not use it for the plot (just like Madara spitting out the sage tools).
An idea sprung in my mind. Unless the manga is coming to a...
Itachi's blade and shield are spirit weapons and they chose who wields them. Itachi was te chosen one. Both of the weapons are explained in mythology. Read up on them. That's why with the vast knowledge Orochimaru has, he was never able to figure out where they were.
Naruto can't gain Rinnegan without Sharingan. Nor does he need any blood to do so since his Uzumaki heritage satisfies the need to have both Uchia and Senju DNA.
if he was still alive, he would have no need to but a portion of the Kyubi's chakra inside himself while attempting to kill himself with the RDS. Him having KCM is a result of his sacrifice. If you want him ranked as alive, then he obviously cant have KCM.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY GETS IT!!!! hahahaha!!
But seriously, we have yet to see what his MS abilities are. Everything about it is speculation until it is finally revealed in the manga.
no he doesn't. all you have to do is awaken both MS eyes (or master them) in order to bring out the 3rd power. Sasuke says then during is fight with the Raikage. I could go more into detail about it but this is the basic answer.
This is THE biggest misconception....smh...
Also it wouldn't make sense if Sharingan can allow the user to copy n master every element while the Rinnegan is so hyped up because it can allow the user to master all elements. Sharingans don't have this ability.
