After introducing the Senrigan in the sequel Boruto, let's take a closer look at one of the great protagonists of the series, who is in possession of two doujutsu. Let's go over that in particular how Sasuke Uchiha got the Rinnegan.

Most of the results Sasuke Uchiha achieved during the first series, and Naruto: Shippuden in particular, can be attributed to the many abilities that result inherited the Sharingan and its more powerful forms. For this, Sasuke, already one of the most powerful ninja not only of the village of Konoha, but of the whole world created by Masashi Kishimoto, has reached an impressive level of power during the Fourth Ninja World WarEvent where he received the Rinnegan.

The purple variant of the Rinnegan, the most present and well-known within the series, comes from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, considered the god of ninja and hermit of the six paths of transmigration. Hagoromo remains a very complex figure in the series' cosmogony, and his presence during the massive conflict leads to a major revelation. Indeed, Hagoromo He recognizes Naruto and Sasuke as the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, respectivelyhis two sons.

Destroyed by the fighting, Sasuke then receives part of Hagaromo's chakra, and this enables the Uchiha Activate the Rinnegan in the left eye, the most powerful of the eye arts. If Sasuke has enough chakra on the eye, six tomoe will spawn spread across the two inner circles, while the Rinnegan will return to normal if it doesn't have enough chakra.

Basically, Sasuke obtains the Rinnegan thanks to the chakra he received from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, hermit of the six paths of transmigration and god of the ninjas, and because he is in every way the reincarnation of his son Indra.
