Itachi Uchiha – Mangekyo Sharingan

Itachi Uchiha is one of the few who has achieved the Mangekyou Sharingan. This power allows him to create visual jutsus with unfathomable power.

Itachi Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after witnessing the suicide of his best friend, Shisui Uchiha, shortly before the Uchiha Clan Downfall. With his left Mangekyō he can use Tsukuyomi, an extremely powerful genjutsu that distorts the victim’s perception of time. With his right Mangekyō he can use Amaterasu, creating inextinguishable black flames at the user’s focal point. Because he awakened both his Mangekyō, he can use Susanoo.

Use of the Mangekyō is particularly debilitating for Itachi, such that after using it three times in one day he can no longer keep even his normal Sharingan active. Some time after Itachi’s death, desiring the power to kill Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha had Itachi’s eyes transplanted into him.
