What Would Happen if Sasuke and Sarada Swapped an Eye?

The Naruto universe is filled with fascinating power-ups, dojutsu (eye techniques), and unique abilities passed down through generations. Sasuke Uchiha, one of the most powerful shinobi, possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (EMS) and the Rinnegan, while his daughter Sarada Uchiha has awakened the standard Sharingan. But what if the two swapped an eye? Would Sarada gain immense power? Would Sasuke lose his edge? Let's explore the potential consequences of this hypothetical scenario in depth.

Understanding Sasuke's and Sarada's Eyes

Sasuke Uchiha’s Eyes

1. Sharingan – The base form of the Uchiha clan's dojutsu, allowing for enhanced perception, genjutsu casting, and copy abilities.

2. Mangekyō Sharingan (MS) – An advanced form granting powerful abilities such as Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.

3. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (EMS) – A stable and enhanced version of the MS that removes the blindness drawback.

4. Rinnegan – The ultimate dojutsu gained after receiving Hagoromo Otsutsuki’s chakra, granting access to six paths abilities, teleportation, and space-time ninjutsu.

Sarada Uchiha’s Eyes

1. Basic Sharingan – Sarada has awakened the standard Sharingan, enhancing her perception, movement tracking, and genjutsu capabilities.

2. Potential Mangekyō Sharingan – She has yet to awaken this form but is expected to in the future, possibly with a unique ability.

What Would Happen if They Swapped an Eye?

1. Sarada Receives Sasuke’s EMS or Rinnegan

If Sasuke were to give Sarada one of his eyes, multiple things could happen:

a) Sarada’s Power Would Skyrocket

• If she received Sasuke’s EMS, she would instantly gain access to powerful techniques such as Susanoo and Amaterasu. This would make her one of the strongest young shinobi in the series.

• If she received Sasuke’s Rinnegan, she would inherit all of its abilities, including space-time manipulation, the ability to absorb chakra, and summoning techniques like the Outer Path.

b) Compatibility Issues

• While Sharingan transplants work within the Uchiha clan, Rinnegan transplants have been tricky. Obito could only handle one Rinnegan, and Madara required Hashirama’s DNA to awaken them. Sarada may not be able to handle the Rinnegan’s power immediately without additional enhancements.

c) Faster Mangekyō Awakening

• If Sarada were to receive Sasuke’s EMS, it’s possible that she could bypass the need to awaken her own Mangekyō Sharingan naturally. This would allow her to skip the trauma normally required to evolve the eye.

2. Sasuke Receives Sarada’s Sharingan

If Sasuke were to take one of Sarada’s eyes, the outcome would be vastly different:

a) Downgrade in Power

• Sasuke would lose either his Rinnegan or EMS, which would drastically reduce his combat effectiveness.

• A basic Sharingan would not provide him with any significant advantage compared to his original eyes.

b) Potential for EMS Evolution

• If Sasuke took Sarada’s Sharingan and she had already awakened the Mangekyō, he could theoretically implant it to regain his EMS. However, since he already has EMS, this would not be as beneficial unless his other eye was lost.

c) Temporary Weakness

• Since Sarada’s eye lacks advanced dojutsu abilities, Sasuke would struggle in high-level battles without his Rinnegan or EMS. This would put him at a disadvantage against powerful opponents like Code, Boruto (possessed by Momoshiki), and other Otsutsuki threats.

How Would This Affect Their Future?

1. Sarada Becomes the Strongest Uchiha of Her Generation

If Sarada inherited an EMS or Rinnegan from Sasuke, she could potentially surpass both him and previous Uchiha like Itachi or Madara. This could set up her character to be the most powerful Uchiha of the Boruto era.

2. Sasuke Becomes Weaker but Wiser

Losing one of his powerful dojutsu would force Sasuke to adapt and rely more on his battle experience, strategy, and other abilities such as his mastery of swordsmanship and Lightning Release techniques.

3. New Techniques and Possibilities

• Sarada could develop a unique Rinnegan ability, much like how Sasuke’s allowed him to use Amenotejikara.

• Sasuke, even with a downgrade, might still develop new strategies to compensate for the loss.

Conclusion: Should They Swap Eyes?

While a swap would benefit Sarada tremendously, it would likely weaken Sasuke. If the goal is to prepare Sarada to become the next great Uchiha, this might be a viable strategy. However, considering Sasuke’s importance in the fight against the Otsutsuki, it might not be worth the risk. Ultimately, Sarada will likely unlock her Mangekyō Sharingan on her own, making a swap unnecessary.

One thing is for sure—if this ever happened, the Uchiha legacy would take an unexpected turn, changing the course of the Naruto/Boruto storyline forever!
