fighting style would be more vast than it is. But there can be two ways Naruto gets a Sharingan: either he gets his Sharingan like Kakashi, or he somehow awakens it naturally due to his parents being Uchiha. Let&#8217;s discuss both possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naruto_Receives_The_Sharingan\"><\/span><strong>Naruto Receives The Sharingan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto receives his Sharingan from either Kakashi or Sasuke during the Zabuza fight, j<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ust like Obito gave his Sharingan to Kakashi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3223\" src=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-11.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"331\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-11.webp 600w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-11-300x166.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could mean either Kakashi or Sasuke were heavily injured, or worse, one of them might have ended up dying. This would change the whole story, so we will go with the other scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naruto_Awakening_His_Sharingan\"><\/span><strong>Naruto Awakening His Sharingan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto, being half Uzumaki, already gives him huge chakra reserves compared to most people, and adding in the huge chakra he receives from Kurama the Nine Tails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will immensely help Naruto using his Sharingan. Awakening the Sharingan gives you a boost in every stat, including strength, speed, dexterity, genjutsu prowess, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto would most likely activate his Sharingan during the Haku fight after seeing Sasuke mortally wounded by Haku while he first uses the Nine Tails\u2019 chakra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2035\" src=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Haku-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Haku-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Haku-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Haku-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Haku-1.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since he would have activated both his Sharingan and used Nine Tails chakra simultaneously, he would have obliterated Haku even more easily. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, he could have awakened his second tomoe during the Chunin exams when facing Orochimaru in the face of despair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kakashi, being his sensei, would have paid more attention to Naruto\u2019s training, just like Sasuke\u2019s, since he would be the only one who knows how the Sharingan works and how to incorporate that into Naruto\u2019s arsenal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto would have unlocked his <a href=\"https:\/\/naruto.fandom.com\/wiki\/Sharingan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Tomoe Sharingan <\/a>against Sasuke in the Valley of The End fight in part 1, just like Sasuke did. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This would give Naruto another extra boost, and the battle would have ended up in his favor, but he ends up exhausted, giving Sasuke the chance to go to Orochimaru.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Awakening_The_Mangekyou_Sharingan\"><\/span><strong>Awakening The Mangekyou Sharingan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awakening the Sharingan is a rarity, but awakening the Mnagekyou Sharingan is even rarer. To awaken the MS, an individual needs to have emotional trauma, and Naruto does not lack emotional trauma, so awakening the MS won\u2019t be a big problem for him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3213 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-1.webp\" alt=\"What If Naruto Had The Sharingan\" width=\"600\" height=\"316\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-1.webp 600w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Can-Kakashi-Still-Use-Sharingan-1-300x158.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He would most likely awaken the MS after learning about Jiraiya\u2019s death. Along with his Sage Mode training, Naruto would gain another power-up like the MS, and since it would be new, he wouldn\u2019t go blind instantly, and the MS would be a big help to him in his fight against Pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2012\" src=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Pain-Nagato-in-Yahikos-Body.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Pain-Nagato-in-Yahikos-Body.webp 696w, https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Pain-Nagato-in-Yahikos-Body-300x170.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Awakening the MS would give Naruto a hax ability like the other users and also some beginning level of the Susanoo, and incorporating that with his sage mode would be a huge boost to him, but eventually, he will lose, and Kurama will have to take over just like it did in the original story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, Naruto will start going blind and will have to ask for Tsuande\u2019s help. There is no cure for the blindness caused by MS, so the only way for Naruto to keep his sight would be to take Hashirama cells just like Obito did. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having Hashirama cells allowed Obito to use his MS without going blind. Sasuke didn\u2019t have that facility because there was no source of Hashirama cells, but in Naruto\u2019s case, he had Yamato, who had Hashirama cells inside him. This will allow Tsunade to help Naruto with his sight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Awakening_The_Rinnegan\"><\/span><strong>Awakening The Rinnegan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the war, when both Naruto and Sasuke seemingly die and meet Hagoromo, The Sage of Six Paths, he gives them his chakra, which allows Naruto to use the SO6P mode along with the Truth Seekin Orbs, and Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2657\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2657 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Naruto-with-Rinnegan-GIF-1.gif\" alt=\"What If Naruto Had The Rinnegan\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Naruto With Rinnegan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Sasuke had received Hashirama cells just before his meeting with Hagoromo, and he has the Sharingan going with this logic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto would also awaken the Rinnegan, but it is not certain since Sasuke had the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan since he swapped his MS with his brother Itachi\u2019s MS, allowed him to awaken his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto would be able to use his Susanoo just like Sasuke did to keep himself and others protected from the light of Infinite Tsukyomi, and depending on his Mnagekyou ability, it would be really helpful in the fight against Madara and later on against Kaguya.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Narutos_Eternal_Mangekyou_Sharingan\"><\/span><strong>Naruto\u2019s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sasuke and Madara both awakened their EMS by swapping their MS with their brothers. But in Naruto\u2019s case, he doesn\u2019t have a blood-related Uchiha brother or any family member. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We still don\u2019t know if an EMS can be achieved by only swapping your MS with a family member or any Uchiha would do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that is the case, Naruto might be able to achieve his EMS after the war and his final battle with Sasuke is over, and Sasuke offers his own MS to Naruto.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Narutos_Power_and_Ability\"><\/span><strong>Naruto\u2019s Power and Ability<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Sharingan, Naruto would become a Kage-level shinobi pretty early on after the time skip; his arsenal would be different, too, since he now has a Sharingan, he might be able to use the Chidori and Raikiri, which requires a Sharingan to utilize fully. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding his genjutsu prowess in the mix, too, since the Sharingan boosts your genjutsu prowess as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a boost to his overall stats along with the other powerups like Sage Mode and KCM, he would also be able to use a hax MS ability along with an incomplete Susanoo like Itachi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His chakra reserves are already high enough that he wouldn\u2019t need to worry about low stamina or chakra most of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naruto having the Sharingan would make him even more overpowered than he already is. The results of most of his fights would be different, and his fighting style would also be different than what we see today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His training would also go differently. The plot will also change depending on the outcome of his fights. Overall, he would have surpassed characters like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju earlier than he did in the original story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Reads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/how-did-the-second-hokage-die\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">How Did The Second Hokage Die<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/why-did-sasuke-leave-akatsuki\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why Did Sasuke Leave Akatsuki<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/narutoexplained.com\/anime-with-op-mc-from-the-start\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Top 10 Anime with OP MC From The Start<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharingan is one of the most iconic and most versatile powerups in anime.
