I read what happened with Rin.

If Kakashi is a copy ninja, how is he able to get the Mangekyou Sharingan
without the Uchiha bloodline?

How is Kakashi able to get Mangekyou Sharingan?


Short answer.

Sharingan wielders don't really have to be part of the Uchiha clan to activate
the Mangekyou Sharingan.

So you just have to have a Sharingan and witness the death of someone close to
you.

Obito in a way, gave them to Kakashi as a temporary gift. It was like Obito's
will live on in Kakashi for that moment. If you recall he said something to
Rin like, "there's one more thing i must do" or something like that. However,
Kakashi can no longer use both Sharingans, i'm not even sure he can use one
Sharingan anymore. It is still pretty confusing.

If you have already read about Rin, you would know that she sacrificed herself
for the sake of Konoha. Also, she was close to Obito and Kakashi. The death of
her (at the hands of Kakashi) made Obito to writhe in pain. This is also the
case with Kakashi. It hence, is that as a result of Rin's death, the Mangekyou
Sharingan was awakened in Kakashi. But, the usage of Mangekyou Sharingan by a
non-Uchiha demands additional amount of chakra to be spent than by a
corresponding Uchiha.

From the wiki,

> When they (Obito and Guruguru) arrived they found Rin and Kakashi surrounded

So theoretically, as long as the user experiences an incredibly intense
emotion (such as the loss of a loved one), that emotion will awaken their
Mangekyo Sharingan.

Additionally,

> Sharingan that originate from the same Uchiha are still linked to some
> extent even when wielded by separate users, at times enabling those users to

From the Sharingan wiki page. References manga chapters 604 and 651. So
Obito's seperate Sharingan were still linked as well.
