'''Genjutsu: Sharingan''' broadly refers to any [[genjutsu]] performed with the [[Sharingan]]. It has also been shown performed through the Sharingan's higher evolutions, the [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] and the [[Rinnegan]], although it's not always clear what difference this makes, if any.
This is simply the generic use of [[genjutsu]] as employed by [[Sharingan]] wielders. By establishing direct eye contact with the intended opponents, the user can lock them within a genjutsu of their choosing in order to achieve various effects. These effects range from inducing instantaneous, but temporary, unconsciousness in an opponent,<ref>Chapter 560, page 7</ref><ref>Chapter 456, page 8</ref> to forcefully extract any valuable information that they possess<ref>Chapter 408, pages 3-5</ref><ref>Chapter 510, page 16</ref> controlling their actions,<ref>Chapter 540, page 14</ref><ref>Chapter 588, page 3</ref> undo genjutsu,<ref>Chapter 585, pages 12</ref> or to show memories.<ref>Chapter 590, page 6</ref>

* [[Itachi]] is seen using an illusion that traps the victim in a dark empty space where their body is made of paper that burns from toe to head while the user is watching.

* [[Madara]]'s Sharingan could control a [[tailed beast]], while [[Obito]]'s could also control a [[jinchūriki]], with his eye power being compared to [[Kotoamatsukami]].<ref>Chapter 461, page 11</ref>
 
* [[Kakashi]] could use the Sharingan to hypnotise the target, making them make seals at the same time as he did, thus giving the illusion he could see into the future. He was also able to put multiple people to sleep with a single glance with his Sharingan, even shinobi of [[Anbu]] calibre.

Due to it being a higher form of the Sharingan, the [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] can also be used to cast this technique,<ref>Chapter 585, pages 12</ref>, while some users have seemingly required to activate their Mangekyō Sharingan to cast genjutsu,<ref>Chapter 413, pages 8-9</ref><ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 377</ref> The effects from the genjutsu range from immobilising a opponent to giving orders to carry out a mission.

With the [[Rinnegan]], Sasuke is able to cast a [[genjutsu]] strong enough to effect an [[Sakura Haruno|individual]] who is supposedly resistant to the effects of genjutsu,<ref name="TheLast" /> as well as strong enough to take control of the nine [[tailed beasts]] simultaneously. [[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]] stated that Sasuke can use this technique through a single glance. Unlike other genjutsu, this technique apparently does not subdue the mind of the victim. It can also be used to cast the illusion of an attack onto a victim, resulting in its collapse and loss of consciousness.<ref>Chapter 692, page 8</ref>

This article is about the genjutsu. For the dōjutsu, see Sharingan.

Genjutsu: Sharingan broadly refers to any genjutsu performed with the Sharingan. It has also been shown performed through the Sharingan's higher evolutions, the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan, although it's not always clear what difference this makes, if any.

By establishing eye contact with a target, the Sharingan user locks them within a genjutsu for one of various purposes: instantaneous, but temporary, unconsciousness in the target;[2][3] forceful extraction of any information the target possesses;[4][5] relay memories to the target;[6] remove genjutsu placed on the target by others;[7] controlling a target's actions.[8][9] Members of the Uchiha clan are particularly famous for using their Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails, such that Konoha quickly came to suspect an Uchiha's involvement in the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha.[10] Sasuke Uchiha is noted to be able to use his Rinnegan to trap tailed beasts in a genjutsu with a mere glance.[11]

The illusions created by Genjutsu: Sharingan do not appear to have any trademark form, appearing wildly different between the same functions and even the same users. For example, Sasuke typically uses it to render targets unconscious, yet on the first occasion the target's body is pierced with large feathers,[12] on the second the target is grasped and overwhelmed by a shadowy figure,[13] and on the third the target experiences Sasuke personally stabbing them.[14]

Trivia

  • A shadowy version of Sasuke's humanoid Susanoo first appears in a genjutsu he creates,[13] only making a formal début several chapters later.
  • By making eye contact with a jinchūriki, Obito could use this technique to control the tailed beast sealed inside them, while its host remained unaffected.[15]
  • Despite genjustu working by altering the chakra flow of a target's cerebral nervous system, this technique effected Mecha-Naruto who doesn't have a brain.[16]
  • Madara is shown reverting his Rinnegan to his Mangekyō Sharingan to use this technique.[17] However, Sasuke's Rinnegan, having a secondary stage, was shown to be able to cast a more powerful version of this technique.
