Since Rinnegan is an "upgrade" of Sharingan, then it should be possible that
all the techniques of Sharingan will be carried away to Rinnegan like the
Mangekyou.

If not, then why?

Can a Rinnegan user use Mangekyou abilities?


It is, since during Madara and 5 kages fight, Madara is able to cast genjutsu
to raikage after looking into his eyes, though his eyes is seen as a
sharinggan.

And he can still use Susanoo which is a Mangekyo ability.

A Rinnegan user can use the Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, if the user

  1. Has one eye with a _Mangekyō Sharingan_ and one with a _Rinnegan_ (as seen with Tobi).
  2. Naturally awakened the Rinnegan after awakening the _Mangekyō Sharingan_. (as seen with Madara).

If you look at the wiki page of
[Rinnegan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan)(emphasis mine, not
originally there in the wiki).

Since Madara had awakened both the _Mangekyō_ and _Rinnegan_ in his life, he
could switch between the two and use the abilities of both the _dōjutsu's_.
But in the case of Nagato, as he was implanted with the _Rinnegan_ itself, he
could not switch between them and hence, was never able to use those
abilities. This wiki excerpt should confirm it.

Tobi had 2 different eyes, one with the _Mangekyō_ (his own eye) and the other
with the _Rinnegan_ (which he took it from Nagato's body after his death), and
that's the reason why he could use the abilities of both but only with one eye
for each of it.

While the powers of the Rinnegan remain intact upon implanting them in a new
person, like Nagato and Obito Uchiha, only one who "naturally" manifests the
Rinnegan, as in Madara Uchiha's case, is able to switch between the Rinnegan
and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; otherwise, the Rinnegan is always activated.

To put it bluntly, no, the rinnegan cannot use mangekyou abilities. As you can
watch in the anime, Madara can switch between Rinnegan and Sharingan because
he awakened both. Nagato only had the Rinnegan.

Basically, the Rinnegan isn't an upgraded Sharingan, it's what comes next, but
it's a completely different eye.

The Rinnegan and Mangekyo Sharingan are two different eyes. Completely
different. The Sage of Six Paths had the Rinnegan and divided his power to
create the Senju and the Uchiha. The Uchiha got the Sharingan and the Senju
got really strong chakra and life force (chakra basically). The only reason
why Madara got the Rinnegan was because he put some of Hashirama Senju's cells
in himself. Thus bringing together the power that the sage had divided. He
then would attain the sage's eyes (Rinnegan). He is able to switch between
them. The Rinnegan cannot use Mangekyo techniques and vice versa.

The reason why Nagato cannot switch between the different eyes is that they
were transplanted into him in the Rinnegan form, and since they aren't his
natural eyes, his control over them is limited. A good example of this is
Kakashi: he cannot change the Sharingan Obito gave him into a normal eye. That
is why he covers it up when he isn't using it. The one absolute thing I can
tell you is that the Rinnegan and the Mangekyo Sharingan are two different
eyes.

Given that the Rinnengan is the pen-ultimate version of the Sharigan, they can
use its power without the need for the eye form itself.

Yes, it is possible **_however_** only if the rinnegan is with the original
person for whom it is awakened. But for him too he has to revert back to
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to use its abilities, and if he wants to use
abilities of sharingan then he has to revert back to sharingan.

An uchiha who has awakened his rinnegan has 5 types of eyes..

  * normal Black pupils

  * sharingan

  * Mangekyou Sharingan

  * Eternal mangekyo Sharingan

  * Rinnegan

The Rinnengan User Can Use The Mangekyo Techniques.. But Only If its the user
who has awakened the Rinnengan .. As You see in **Madara's** And **Sasuke's**
Case.. As Sasuke Awakened his Rinnengan (In Left Eye) By taking chakra from
Hogoromo he could use his Amateratsu from his left eye ..
