Madara says he can see thru clones with the help of his eyes of course



You must be registered for see images



You must be registered for see images



So if Madara can see which are clones and which are not thx to his rinnegan eyes,


Shouldnt Rinnegan Obito do the same

You must be registered for see images



You must be registered for see images




Obito has one of Madara's eyes so why couldnt he see thru clones

He had this ability before getting rinnegan so it's not rinnegan ability.

Both madara and even kaguya were fooled by kage bunshin. When madara first appeared he self hyped himself a lot like the who ever sees PS dies crap.

Madara is a powerful sensor, it has nothing to do with his rinnegan probably.

He guessed it was a clone he didn't know for sure

Even sensors can't tell the difference between shadow clones and the original

Perhaps Sharingan can only tell the difference between original and clone if they focus to actually see if they are a clone or not

So if they just look without focusing, they can't decipher the real clone

The sharingan has been fooled by shadow clones in the thick of battle several times. Even the byakugan can't tell the difference.

I understand that, but what I'm saying is based on the images above, Madara was able to distinguish between clones and originals.

So in the heat of battle when they are not focusing, a Sharingan won't notice it is a clone. But when they are relaxed and actually trying to, it could be an ability of the Sharingan to focus in order to distinguish between the clones and originals

The byagugan and sharingan were tricked because naruto spread the chakra in his clones eavenly maybe at that moment the chakra wasn't dispersed eavenly and with obito the clones had just been created

Madara just had a lucky guess. It is well known that the byakugan has better eyesight than the sharingan. Neji who composed himself and analysed naruto's shadow clones couldn't tell the difference . If the byakugan can't the sharingan can't either

It's a trick that Madara developed to see through Hashirama's wood clone and is unique to him. There's no other person that has shown the ability to do this.

That's not a good statement

The Sharingan is not better than the Byakugan, and the Byakugan is not better than the Sharingan

Each has there own strengths and weaknesses when compared to one another. It could be that the Sharingan has an ability to distinguish between clones if the user focuses, where the Byakugan lacks this ability completely


It's the same principle of how the Byakugan offers an ability of near 360 degree vision, and the Sharingan doesn't

The Sharingan may simply have this ability, but only works if the user consciously focuses in order to look for clones and the original

It is a good statement because the ability to see through things was never distinguish from the eye of insight ability that both the sharingan and byakugan share.Due to this, the only possible way based on what I know, to distinguish between clones is by using the ability of insight which the byakugan has been confirmed to be better than the sharingan at.

If you still think I am wrong by all means bring me the name of this sharingan ability. The sharingan and byakugan have been around since the early parts of the manga yet neither the manga nor the data books made any suggestion of sharingan exclusive ability to see through kage bunshin

It's not an eye power, his years of experience fighting Hashirama's wood clones gave him the required instinct to avoid bunshin tricks.

It's a skill that Madara and Obito picked up in certain situations.

Obito saw the real naruto after preforming one shadow clone, same with Madara seeing One wood clone hiding underneath the ground.

A multi shadow clone would fool everybody, even Sasuke naturally adapted to a limited set of naruto shadow clone percipiency.
