Disclaimer: I consider the Rinnegan to be an evolution of the sharingan rather than one of its forms, so it won't be included in this post
Let's start off by identifying the basic benefits that the sharingan grants its user.
3 Tomoe Sharingan
Mangekyō Sharingan
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan
Madara and Sasuke's Choku Tomoe
- In this scan, we see Madara confirming that the Choku Tomoe allows for more fluid movement in response to the opponents movements. Sasuke's feats in tracking Juubito's speed during their fight backs this up as well.
Clearly, the Choku Tomoe EMS with all of its powerups, its perception, and its tracking prowess is extremely powerful. However, like Itachi told Naruto and Bee during their fight with Nagato, every jutsu has a weak point and a counter. One such counter for said sharingan (and by default, all of its previous forms like the MS) is Mū's Dustless Bewildering Cover.
Here's an overview of this technique
The last bit of the last sentence practically confirms this technique's superiority over Taiseki's Hiding in Camoflage. However, for comparison's sake, lets look at the latter technique anyway to fully establish the difference.
- In another interesting point, Kakashi, who has heightened senses including a good sense of smell, noted here that Taiseki's technique erases sense of smell, further proving the statements from narutowiki. Therefore, Dustless Bewildering Cover should also do the same.
Conclusion: Judging from all the scans and statements that I've compiled here, we can assuredly say that Mū, while invisible, cannot be seen by the naked eye, nor sensed by chakra sensor types, nor sniffed out.
Now, can he be seen by the sharingan and its forms? No, he cannot. To prove this, I will draw information from the beginning of this post.
The sharingan has four basic abilities, and the ones relevant to my point are its ability to see chakra flow, to "give color" to chakra, and to distinguish forms of chakra. These abilities should be pushed to the absolute maximum with Sasuke's/Madara's Choku Tomoe EMS. However, not even this form of the sharingan can see Mū while he's invisible. The sharingan can see and distinguish chakra forms and signatures through its superior insight, but it cannot distinguish a chakra signature that's been completely erased and hidden, and cannot distinguish a chakra that has no form, like Kabuto stated in one of the scans I posted above. This is true for the EMS, no matter how much said ocular abilities have been "boosted", which is a rather dubious term in this context, considering nothing we've seen in the manga indicates that the stages of the sharingan really take the 3T's abilities to another level. Furthermore, the Choku Tomoe refers to the user's enhanced tracking prowess and fluidity of movement in response, but it cannot track something that it cannot see and identify. One counter I've heard some people say to this is the fact that Madara fought Mū and Ōnoki in the past and beat them. I feel that that example should be completely disregarded because it was originally a meeting to discuss the relations between Iwagakure and Konohagakure, and we know next to nothing about that scuffle and how it went down. Who's to say Mū had time to go invisible and escape Madara's sight from such a short range?
So, there you have it. I'm pretty open minded and still relatively new to this site, so any feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed.

Let's start off by identifying the basic benefits that the sharingan grants its user.
3 Tomoe Sharingan
1. Ability to see chakra in different forms and chakra flow.
2. Ability to identify and counter illusions.
2. Ability to identify and counter illusions.
3. Ability to copy techniques that aren't Kekkei Genkai.The Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: the "Eye of Insight" (洞察眼, Dōsatsugan) and the "Eye of Hypnotism" (催眠眼, Saimingan).[5] The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see chakra flow. The Sharingan itself gives colour to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate them.[6] They are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular. The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognise genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan.
4. Ability to place other shinobi (or summons/tailed beasts if skilled enough) under illusionsThe Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai techniques.
The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties.
Mangekyō Sharingan
The Mangekyō Sharingan gives the user's eyes enhanced might to the standard Sharingan's generic abilities and access to powerful techniques.
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan prevents the Mangekyō from going blind, as well as aleviating the body's stress from using the previously mentioned techniques like Susano'o.
- Judging by Sasuke's reaction, we can surmise that the EMS also grants the donor's ocular powers as well.
Only by transplanting the eyes of another Uchiha can the user regain their sight and ocular powers. By transplanting the Mangekyō Sharingan of an Uchiha with strong blood ties to the recipient — ideally a sibling — an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (永遠の万華鏡写輪眼, Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan) is then awakened.[8] This process takes several days for a complete recovery,[9][10] and not only permanently restores the recipient's eyesight, but also bolsters their own ocular power with that of the donor's, signified by the intertwined appearance of their Mangekyō Sharingan's tomoe seals.

Madara and Sasuke's Choku Tomoe
The pattern of Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyō is known as the "Straight Tomoe" (直巴, Choku Tomoe), which gives Sasuke an even higher capability of reading his opponents movements and to fluidly act upon.

Here's an overview of this technique
The user erases their presence, causing them to have neither a physical form nor detectable chakra while the technique is active. They cannot be detected through traditional means. Mū's mastery of this technique helped earn him the moniker "Non-Person" (無人, Mujin; Viz "Null Man").[2] This technique utilises water vapour to bend the light around the user making use of Water Release to do so,[1] enhancing its effects from the Hiding with Camouflage Technique.
The last bit of the last sentence practically confirms this technique's superiority over Taiseki's Hiding in Camoflage. However, for comparison's sake, lets look at the latter technique anyway to fully establish the difference.
- The Bolded: This statement says that adept users can hide themselves from not only chakra sensors, but dōjutsu as well. Since Mū's mastery of a superior version of this technique made him famous during his lifetime as the Null Man as stated by Kabuto (This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert manoeuvres but also offensive strikes. Perceiving the user's position is possible only for ninja who are astute enough to observe minute variations within their surrounding environment, such as distortions of air currents in the immediate vicinity or distinguishing sounds, i.e. footsteps etc. The usefulness of this ability can be entirely negated by those with special vision or sensory skills, except for particularly adept users, who can completely erase even their chakra signature with it.

), we can deduce that Mū completely hides not only his body, but he also hides his chakra signature from from both the naked eye and dojutsu like the sharingan.
