Having been an active member on the Base for a few months now, and having read the manga for much MUCH longer than that, i find it somewhat surprising that there is so much information i feel is common knowledge, that many narutobasers and general readers do not actually know...

Now, i know i'm not the most knowledgeable reader out there, but i feel i know my fair share, and i still find it ridiculous that this knowledge is still not known by everyone so i'm here to make a list of them.


1. This is the most annoying and frustrating misconception i've seen here, and it's to the point where it literally pisses me off when people do not know it, and that is that Itachi did NOT "give" the Mangekyo sharingan to Sasuke.

After the Itachi-Sasuke fight, itachi poked sasuke's head as he had done many times in the past. At this point itachi's own blood ran down sasuke's face and pooled in his left eye.

At this point itachi used his own personal fuin jutsu to seal a one shot amaterasu into sasuke's left eye. This trap was programmed to be activated at the time sasuke's eyes met tobi's right sharingan. At which time amaterasu would be used, hopefully, to kill or at least drive off tobi.

As you can see here, it worked. Now, notice how Itachi's MS formed in Sasuke's eye, not sasuke's MS. This is itachi's trap amaterasu.

This is the scene in which Sasuke obtained his Mangekyo Sharingan. Upon learning the truth of his brother's life, and learning that his brother was the closest, most loved person he could have asked for, and realizing that he himself had killed his own older brother, the pain this brought him awakened his Mangekyo sharingan.

And two pages later, he opens his eyes for the first time.

2. Itachi was going easy on Sasuke, and essentially pushed him only to release orochimaru, and so let Sasuke win their fight.

Going off of point number 1, i see a surprising amount of people say that Sasuke clearly outclassed Itachi during their fight.

This one page should be all that is needed to prove that Itachi was going easy on Sasuke. All itachi planned to do in that fight was die by sasuke's hands, however he could not have foreseen that orochimaru would be absorbed by sasuke, and so itachi planned to remove him, as orochimaru being inside of sasuke was too big of a risk to his beloved, little brother as any significant drain in chakra could release him with enough power to take over sasuke's body.

These facts coupled with the other fact that itachi had been dying of an unknown illness for who knows how many years, only surviving through will power and drugs, means that not only was Itachi more powerful than sasuke at the time of his death, but he was also more powerful than him on his literal death bed.

3. Sasuke has Tsukuyomi.

Now that i'm actually putting this down in writing, i realize this is mostly about sasuke and itachi, and i would like to say that i am not a fanboy, i'm just merely pointing out the misconceptions about these characters.

Here is the databook entry on Susano'o. In the requirements it lists Tsukuyomi, and Amaterasu. NORMALLY i would point out that this databook is out of date, and too contradictory to be credible, and to wait until the next databook for confirmation.

HOWEVER, seeing as how this databook contains information from chapters only 11 weeks before Sasuke's MS was revealed, this databook can be credible in this subject.

Now i'm not going to go into the dozens of different instances in which there is proof of sasuke using Tsukuyomi, but there are dozens of threads on the subject which do such a good job of proving it, that i'll promote the search bar for those.

4. No past Hokage can be resurrected via Edo Tensei.

It's appalling that people still believe that the previous Hokage can be resurrected.

Here, kabuto confirms that none of the 4 previous Hokage can be summoned via Edo Tensei. This means one of two things. Either Kishi screwed up or didn't plan ahead enough during the Hiruzen-Orochimaru fight, or Orochimaru himself screwed up and didn't know that the Fourth Hokage was sealed and therefor could not be summoned.

This is a start to my list, and i know it's not much but i can't think of any more points off the top of my head as of now, however i will be thinking and updating this list to re-post it at a later date. Thanks for reading! :)

+Reps for the work and effort, though it is truly common knowledge to some extent. I think you should keep going. I see no error as of now. You should add the misconception of Tsukuyomi only counter by another Uchiha. The "misconception" would be that since Sharingan evolves into Rinnegan, would the Rinnegan also be able to counter it, or is it only if you have Uchiha blood.

I agree with almost everything, ecept for two points:
1. Itachi was not going "easy" on Sasuke. He was pushing him to test his strength and make him stronger. He was pushed to his limits and the illness killed him after he had pushed himself too much.
2. Orochimaru's resurrection of Minato failed. Kishimoto did not screw up. Orochimaru did.

Sasuke developed his own MS, it was not given by Itachi. Itachi went easy on Sasuke in their fight. Sasuke has Tsukuyomi. And none of the Hokage can be resurrected with Edo Tensei.

What i took from it was that only sasuke could break his tsukuyomi because he is itachi's brother...

It states the requirements of Susano'o are Tsukuyomi and amaterasu, and seeing as how sasuke obviously has Susano'o, he must also have tsukuyomi.

My only qualm regarding Itachi is that if he was so 'brilliant', why was he forced to use his most powerful techniques (Tsukuyomi and Susanoo for example) against Sasuke? Surely he should've been capable of killing him without exhausting himself to the degree where he was about to die. Also, despite wanting to seal away Orochimaru with the Totsuka Blade, Susanoo was only used after Kirin, so that wouldn't be a credible excuse. Something to think about.

You are sorta right, more like Uchiha Blood, rather than just the wielders of the Sharingan such as Danzou and Kakashi. Someone like Madara (or possibly Tobi) could also break Tsukuyomi. Nagato cannot because he is not of Uchiha blood but Uzumaki, who are distant cousins of the Senju.

Ok. I can agree with that. Only someone with a natural sharingan can break out of Tsukuyomi.

You should also do the misconception that edos have an infinite chakra supply. That's just wrong.
