It's the best form of cognitive enhancement I guess. Other doujutsu give powerful abilities rather than actually aiding your perceiving skills. But just like the Byakugan, Sharingan actually improves and expands on what you can do with your eye and not just a simple gateway to external jutsus.Alrighty. Tell me what you know about the Sharingan
Yeah I have quite a few of them actually!The first thing to note is that there is no such thing, at least anymore, as 'Elemental Genjutsu'. Before you summon Drackos' ire, from now on the term we use is Yin Enhanced Genjutsu. Generally, Yin Enhanced Genjutsu is on the same level as MS genjutsu, but you're not at that level yet so I'll refrain from going deep into that. With each stage the speeds you're able to track with your Sharingan increase, and as a chuunin with 2T you get a nice x2 to your tracking when it's active.
The Sharingan allows you to see the flow of chakra, mass, and differentiate between types of chakra through physical characteristics. As you're able to visualize the flow of charka, you'll be able to tell if an individual is under a genjutsu or not due to irregularities within the said flow. In terms of precognition, you have to remember that timeframe still exists and you can only start moving after your opponent. What this means is that you're able to foresee traps and incoming attacks easier and start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed. The Sharingan also gives you profound perception clarity, which allows you to recognize most genjutsu and pierce through them.
The genjutsu cast by the Sharingan is stronger than normal genjutsu and requires eye contact, but can be broken by the pain method of release 1 rank lower than the gen cast. This means B rank levels of pain can be used to break A ranked Sharingan genjutsu. An important thing to note is that Sharingan Genjutsu must be sustained while in use, which prevents you from using other jutsu alongside it (with the exception of like Tai/kenjutsu that don't cost chakra).
Any questions?
Hopefully I answered all your questions so far suitably. Now we’ll look at the Sharingan activate technique. Look over it and let me know if there is anything you don’t understand.
( Doujutsu: Sharingan ) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - A Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T )
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.
I have a question yeah. If the genjutsu caster is another Uchiha, can I still yeet their genjutsu right back at them or no?When in battle with an Uchiha, if somebody mentions avoiding eye contact they don't generally need to mention it again unless they lose sight of you or something and need to re-establish a light of sight with you. If it isn’t mentioned, then you can establish that you make eye contact with an opponent at the beginning of an encounter. Outside of that I don’t have any tricks besides getting in close range of them and forcing an opponent to lock eyes with you.
Moving on. The first technique we'll go over is Heaven And Earth Change. It’s an amazing technique, especially when your Sharingan reaches higher stages as you'll be able to take control of an enemy's genjutsu and reverse it back onto them as you release yourself from it at the same time. Read over the technique and let me know what you think.
( Bōshi Magen: Kyouten Chiten ) - Demonic Eye Illusion: Heaven And Earth Change
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: N/A (equal to the cost of the countered technique)
Damage Points: N/A (equal to the power of the countered technique)
Description: This is a illusion counter where, through the use of their sharingan, a Uchiha can take control over an enemy's Genjutsu and reverse it back into the opponent by taking control of it and releasing oneself at the same time. With 1 Tomoe, it can affect C-Rank and below illusions. With 2 Tomoe, it can affect B-Rank and below illusions. With a 3 Tomoe, it can affect A-Rank and below illusions. With MS, it can affect S-Rank and below illusions and EMS can affect any rank Genjutsu.
Note: Can only be used once every two turns.
Note: Does not require eye contact and must be able to cast ( I.e., cannot reverse a Sound Genjutsu without Sound Ninjutsu.
( Bōshi Magen: Ketataumo ) Demonic Eye Illusion: Piercing Feathers
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: A weaker version of Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes, it makes the opponent believe that numerous black feathers have pierced their body and trapped them, causing them pain and immobility.
Note: Requires two tomoe Sharingan and eye contact to use
( Bōshi Genjutsu: Koukon Karasu ) – Illusionary Eye Technique: Dusk Crow
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is an advanced Sharingan technique the user traps the enemy in an illusion without any eye contact, similar to Ephermal. The Genjutsu traps the victim in a torrent of crows, leaving them at the users mercy.
Yeah I understand now with the Fuuinjutsu example. I've gotten an idea of pre-activated defenses with that. And it's convenient that I can simply just tell if my chakra flow is disturbed or not, I have to check some battle threads for the phrasing of that move though.A passive defense would be The Surgebinder Clan's ability to reject any foreign injection of chakra, thus standard Illusionary techniques would fail to take hold in the first place. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but there are some fuuinjutsu seals that activate automatically whenever the host's chakra system is disturbed and purges it of foreign chakra to break the illusion.
You are correct that stopping the clones, which are actually explosive kunai, from coming near you would leave you safe from harm.
There are multiple ways to discover you've been placed in a genjutsu. Illusions work by manipulating the chakra in the cerebral nervous system of an opponent. This causes irregularities in the target's chakra flow. As an Uchiha with the ability to perceive chakra flow, you will be able to tell if either you or another person is under a genjutsu due to this irregular chakra flow. You're also able to easily recognize most genjutsu and pierce through them because of this as well.
In terms of combatting and breaking illusions I highly suggest taking a look at this thread Method Training: Genjutsu
Now, since you have the ability to realize you're in a genjutsu due to the irregularities in your chakra flow, you'll be able to reverse it back onto the caster as you free yourself from it. For Dusk Crow specifically, you can reason that summoning ninjutsu usually requires blood to be drawn and that you saw none of that and the crows appeared out of thin air.
Thank you. And yeah I'll message after my remaining rank ups are done with!Mixing the illusion with bits of reality so it's hard to tell it's an illusion is the trick. As you've probably realized there are a bunch of obvious genjutsu that can easily be seen through, but there are also tricker ones that are hard to distinguish from reality if done well, especially if the target is unable to sense their chakra flow. Once you rank up and can learn the other techniques give me a ping.
In the meantime get used to using the ability, and remember that you have to spend a move to activate your sharingan.
It's just upgraded in all its uses. It's the highest form of Sharingan you can have before delving into the kill your own family and take their eye route. Even though it's simply one more tomoe, it was still enough to make a difference for Sasuke to properly track VOTE1 Naruto's movements and actually gain quite a speed gap even though they were close in that regard just before he activated 3T. Also, /in the canon/, someone really potent at 3T like Sasuke could potentially break even MS' genjutsus like he did with Tsukuyomi - So while 3T is the highest standard Sharingan level, it has potency levels within itself.Alrighty. Now that you are a Chūnin and capable of using A-ranked techniques and below, we will go over the 3T Sharingan. Looking at the technique, how is it different from the Two Tomoe version that you currently possess?
