In the latest chapters of the Naruto manga (673 and 674), why does Sasuke
possess only one Rinnegan and not both?

Why does Sasuke have only one Rinnegan?


My opinion is that he chose not to use the other one. With the Rinnegan not
able to use Sharingan's abilities, it's probably better to use both at the
same time. Madara was seen switching back and forth between the Rinnegan and
Sharingan, so it should be something that Sasuke can do as well.

Maybe the other eye is only for Sharingan, or he can't have two Rinnegans
because it might replace his Sharingan permanently. However, one thing is for
sure: he might use Sharingan and Rinnegan at the same time in the future.

Sasuke's Rinnegan is exactly the same Rinnegan of Kaguya's 3rd eye and
Madara's 3rd eye. Since, Madara's 3rd eye and Kaguya's 3rd eye are one and the
same, this means that there is only one such eye.

This Rinnegan with Sharingan tomoe has always been a one eye case from the
beginning. It is very different from Madara's Rinnegan, which is same as
Hagoromo's pair of eyes.

For starters: Sasuke's Rinnegan is **not** the same as Kaguya's/Madara's Rinne
Sharingan (not to be confused with Madara's Rinnegan, I'm talking about the
one in the middle of the forehead of both of them).

  * Sasuke's Rinnegan has 6 tomoe, Rinne Sharingan has (at least) 9.
  * Sasuke's Rinnegan is blue, Rinne Sharingan is red.

The reason Sasuke only has the Rinnegan in one eye was not mentioned or
explained in either the series or the data book. So we can only speculate.

In no particular order, here are my speculations:

  * Hagoromo only gave Sasuke enough chakra to awaken the Rinnegan in one eye.
  * That's the best Sasuke can do without fusing Asura's chakra.
  * It's the cool factor.
