Naruto : 5 Forgotten Facts About the Sharingan

The Sharingan is a staple of Masashi Kishimoto’s hit series Naruto, but there are things even long-time fans may have forgotten about it.

Masashi Kishimoto’s hugely popular manga Naruto is a staple in the manga and anime community, as well as a former member of Shonen Jump’s ‘Big Three’ alongside One Piece and Bleach. One of the most exciting aspects of the battle manga is its unique power system (Ninjutsu), which allows for many unique abilities, such as the fan-favorite kekkai-genkei the Sharingan, used by many different characters.

Introduced early on in the series, the Sharingan is an ability passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan. As the series progressed, the Sharingan began to acquire more and more capabilities, making it one of the more overdeveloped powers in Naruto. As such, not only does it have a laundry list of extraordinary powers and awakenings, but it has a long history as well, making some of its lesser-known aspects easy to forget.
