While going through a thread, a thought just struck me and i've decided to make this theory.
What if the MS abilities any given Uchiha has are evolved in response to their surroundings?
In this thread i will consider three known Uchihas with the Mangekyuo, namely:
1. Itachi
2. Obito
3. Sasuke
1. Itachi
2. Obito:
3. Sasuke:
So to conclude, any given Uchiha who awakens the Mangekyuo has a tendency to get an ability that is similar to the type of ability the person he has fought with, been with the most/often used to have as explained in each of the examples i gave above. Thoughts?
Note: who knows, maybe kishi is a neo darwinist lol.

To be more precise, my conjecture is that future MS abilities of any given Uchiha have a tendency to be similar to the kind of abilities the people they are around tend to display. Ofc this might just be the evolution of kishi's thought process but it seemed compelling enough.

1. Itachi
It was stated early on in the manga that, while growing up Itachi looked up to Shisui Uchiha as an elder brother. Its quite likely the two of them spent some time together, Itachi would have seen him fight, and more specifically his style of fighting.
Shisui was unrivaled at genjutsu, and later when Itachi awoke his own Mangekyuo he himself developed a very powerful genjutsu in tsukuyomi. Coincidence? Not many other uchiha have shown such a masterful illusion, even OP ones like Madara. Could it be that Shisui's tendency was somehow copied into Itachi by the proximity of the two?

2. Obito:
As we all know, Obito was in Kakashi's team and his sensei was none other than Minato, the 4th Hokage. He must have been part of that team for at least a reasonable amount of time, since he grew to love Rin his other teammate so much that he decided to become evil after her death.
We know that Obito knew the 4th was called the 'yellow flash', its natural that he would have witnessed his speed and s/t techs a number of times. Minato was a master at s/t ninjutsu, it seems to fit a patern then that Obito when he awakens his Mangekyuo that its also a s/t tech, namely Kamuii. Again, perhaps observing Minato's s/t somehow helped Obito develop or 'evolve' his own?

3. Sasuke:
This might not be a very good example and some people might disagree. But we all heard Danzo say Sasuke's illusions were not on Itachi's caliber. Now we know that Sasuke had Itachi's abilities and later his eyes, but his actual range of techs are somewhat different.
Sasuke was part of team 7, teammates with Naruto, an attack/offensive type fighter. Out of the two mangekyuo abilities Itachi gave him, is it again a coincidence that Sasuke managed to develop the offensive type(ametarasu) ability more than the others? Maybe being with an offense type fighter developed his own offensive MS ability more?
