The loss of Sasuke Uchiha’s Rinnegan in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was a shocking and pivotal moment for fans. After Momoshiki, while possessing Boruto, stabbed Sasuke’s left eye, many have wondered whether Sasuke can regain his Rinnegan and how it might be possible. While the chances seem slim, there are some possible ways he could restore it. In this article, we will explore various theories and methods Sasuke might use to regain his lost Rinnegan.

Understanding Sasuke’s Rinnegan Loss
Sasuke’s Rinnegan was destroyed when Boruto (possessed by Momoshiki) stabbed his eye with a kunai. Unlike injuries that can be healed, a completely destroyed eye is difficult to recover. The Rinnegan is an extremely rare dojutsu, and its awakening requires the combination of Uchiha and Senju DNA.
To determine whether Sasuke can regain his Rinnegan, we need to analyze several factors, including the nature of his injury, possible healing methods, and alternative ways to obtain a new Rinnegan.
1. Can Naruto Heal Sasuke’s Eye?
Naruto Uzumaki, being a user of Sage of Six Paths (SSP) power, previously restored Kakashi’s Sharingan after Obito transferred his own to him. Since Naruto can still use his Sage of Six Paths Mode, it is theoretically possible for him to heal Sasuke’s eye. However, there are two uncertainties:
-
Whether Naruto’s healing can restore a lost dojutsu or only return a normal eye.
-
Whether his Baryon Mode can enhance his healing abilities beyond what has been previously shown.
If Naruto's healing could restore the Rinnegan, it would be the easiest method. However, as seen with Kakashi, the new eye given was not a Sharingan but a regular eye, making this method unreliable for restoring the Rinnegan.
2. Using Izanagi to Reverse the Injury
Another possibility is for Sasuke to use Izanagi, a forbidden Uchiha technique that can rewrite reality for a short time. Izanagi allows the user to escape death by turning fatal injuries into illusions, but it comes at a cost: the eye used to cast Izanagi is permanently blinded.
For Sasuke to regain his Rinnegan using Izanagi, he would need to:
-
Activate Izanagi immediately after being stabbed.
-
Sacrifice his right eye (his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan) to restore his left eye.
-
Hope that the restored eye is a Rinnegan and not a regular Sharingan.
The major flaw in this theory is that Sasuke was shown with both his eyes intact after being stabbed, meaning he likely did not activate Izanagi at that moment.
3. Implanting a New Rinnegan
If Sasuke cannot restore his own Rinnegan, another option would be to transplant one. The most viable sources include:
-
Madara Uchiha’s DNA: Madara was the first Uchiha to awaken the Rinnegan. If Sasuke can obtain his DNA, he may be able to reawaken the Rinnegan in himself.
-
Nagato’s Rinnegan: Since Nagato was given Madara’s Rinnegan, studying his genetic material might help Sasuke regain his Rinnegan.
-
Cloning or Scientific Methods: In the Boruto era, technology has advanced significantly. Amado, Kara’s scientist, might have knowledge about dojutsu restoration or cloning techniques to recreate a Rinnegan.
4. The Otsutsuki Connection
Since the Rinnegan originates from the Otsutsuki lineage, Sasuke might be able to regain it through further Otsutsuki influence. Some possibilities include:
-
Absorbing Otsutsuki Chakra: If Sasuke absorbs additional chakra from Otsutsuki beings like Momoshiki or Isshiki, it could potentially trigger his Rinnegan’s regeneration.
-
Receiving a New Power from the Otsutsuki: If Sasuke undergoes further evolution similar to how Boruto and Kawaki gained powers from the Otsutsuki, he might gain a dojutsu even stronger than the Rinnegan.
5. Awakening a Different Dojutsu
Instead of restoring his Rinnegan, Sasuke might awaken an entirely new eye technique. Since the series is exploring new powers, he could develop a unique ability surpassing the Rinnegan, similar to how Boruto’s Jougan is a mysterious but powerful dojutsu.
This theory suggests that rather than going back to what he lost, Sasuke’s journey might lead him to a new evolution, potentially granting him an even greater ability.
6. The Role of Amado and Scientific Ninja Tools
With the advancement of ninja technology, Amado might play a role in restoring Sasuke’s Rinnegan. If Amado has knowledge of Otsutsuki DNA and dojutsu, he could possibly create an artificial Rinnegan or enhance Sasuke’s abilities using scientific means.
This is not unprecedented, as we have seen characters like Kawaki undergo modifications that grant them incredible power. If Amado can engineer a Karma Seal, restoring or enhancing the Rinnegan might also be within his capabilities.
7. Training to Reawaken the Rinnegan
Since Sasuke originally awakened the Rinnegan through Hagoromo’s chakra, another way to regain it could be to undergo intense training to reawaken it himself. This would require:
-
Mastering Sage of Six Paths Chakra Again: If Sasuke can reconnect with Hagoromo or further enhance his chakra, he might be able to reawaken the Rinnegan naturally.
-
Absorbing More Power from the Divine Tree: Since the Divine Tree is the source of all chakra, absorbing its energy might help Sasuke regain his lost power.
Conclusion: Can Sasuke Regain His Rinnegan?
While Sasuke regaining his Rinnegan is uncertain, it is not impossible. Some of the most viable ways include:
-
Naruto healing Sasuke’s eye using Sage of Six Paths power.
-
Sasuke using Izanagi, though it requires sacrificing his Sharingan.
-
Implanting a new Rinnegan from another source.
-
Utilizing Otsutsuki DNA or chakra to regenerate his dojutsu.
-
Awakening a completely new and stronger dojutsu.
-
Relying on Amado’s scientific expertise to restore his eye.
-
Training and mastering Sage of Six Paths power again.
Ultimately, the direction the story takes will depend on Masashi Kishimoto’s writing. If Sasuke is to remain a key figure in the Boruto series, he may find a way to regain his lost power. Whether it be through technology, Otsutsuki power, or natural evolution, Sasuke’s journey is far from over.
For now, fans can only speculate and hope that the legendary Uchiha warrior will reclaim his strength and return to battle stronger than ever!
