Well I went through some old eps and found an inconsistancy in what exactly teh sharingan does. In the Naruto/Sasuke fight the three dot sharingan does allow the user to in effect see the future. Mainly in the for of predicting where an attack will land. However, when the sharingan ability was first discussed in the Kakashi/Zazuba battle it was described merely as a copying/hypnotic technique. In essence, there are two versions of sharingan running around. Anybody have any ideas about this?
