This was during the fight with Haku, the first time Sasuke's Sharingan showed
up in season 1. As you can see, his right eye has two black dots and the left
has one.

Kakashi's eye has three dots and this was during a battle with Zabuza, the
same season a few episodes earlier before Sasuke's Sharingan showed up when
fighting with Haku.

What are the dots inside the eyes when someone uses Sharingan?

What are the dots inside the eyes when someone uses Sharingan?


These dots are called [tomoe](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sharingan).

> When first awakened, each Sharingan usually will have only one tomoe (巴).
> Through training and continued use, the Sharingan will develop a second
> tomoe and then, upon full maturation, a third. All the Sharingan's abilities
> are available to the user from its earliest stage, but with greater
> development comes greater proficiency with those abilities.

For example during their first fight in the Valley of the End Sasuke was able
to easily see Narutos movements after obtaining the third tomoe in one of his
eyes, when he couldn't dodge them at all earlier.
