the sharingan CAN see chakra flow. kakashi said it couldnt see tenkutsus. If you read manga NOTE: SPOILERS AT RISKOriginally posted by: Psyke
For the 2 points you've written, it seems you are refering to Genjutsu alone. The bushins created by the rain nins are fake, used to fool ones's eyes. This apparently doesn't work on a Sharingan user as explained by Kakashi. Thus, anything a Genjutsu uses to trick the opponents' eyes will not work on a Sharingan user. Eg. Bushins, illusions, hypnosis, etc.Originally posted by: Death BOO Z
while i agree with the saying that the Sharingan is an optical enchatment to the eye and gives you better eyesight and analyzing abilities, it still doesn't explain a few things.
1. In the forest of death, Sasuke saw the rain nins create clones from the shadows and was able to tell them apart from the real enemies, that shouldn't be possible without an ability to see chackra like the byakougan.
2. Genjutsu isn't a pyshical 'attack', it effects one mentally, so again, the Sharingan should be useless against it, and yet, Kakashi said that the sharingan allowes the user to read through it.
a better explantion is that the sharingan is Kishimoto's favorite word and now he's fallen in love with the damn concept, look forward to the special ending chapter 'Sasuke developes the sharingan and sees throught the universe to understand the meanning of existence. and then drops is cuz he likes being an angst ridden teenager'.
Really, I tell, that's what we have waiting for us in the end.
obito see's the invisible earth guy right after he gets sharingan and kakashi gets his left eye taken out.
