Boruto Welcomes Its New Overpowered Dojutsu Stronger Than Rinnegan

Dojutsu have always been a big part of the Naruto series, and have played a significant role in the story ever since their official introduction with the Sharingan in Naruto Chapter #12 on January 8, 2000, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #2. Ever since then, these eyes have only grown more significant, and come the end of the Naruto series, there were plenty of them introduced by Masashi Kishimoto, with one more overpowered than the other.

That said, the Rinnegan, which was said to be the godly eye that first belonged to Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, was the ultimate strongest Dojutsu. Other than Hagoromo, other characters also went on to awaken this power, such as Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, the deuteragonist of the series. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the Rinnegan has been dethroned from its top spot by none other than Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Ohirume, which is by far one of the most broken eye abilities in the entire series.

Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan Ability ‘Ohirume’ Surpasses Sasuke’s Rinnegan Ability ‘Amenotejikara’

The Mangekyo Sharingan is one of the very strongest forms of the eye that was first introduced in Naruto Chapter #142 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #46 on October 28, 2002. This eye is the evolved form of the Sharingan that awakens due to the trauma resulting from the death of a close loved one. The first person to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan in the recent history of the Naruto series was none other than Madara Uchiha, and along with him, his brother Izuna Uchiha also awakened this power.

“He was the man who stood as one of the fingers of Konohagakure, and was the first to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan!” — Itachi Uchiha about Madara Uchiha, Clash of Brothers Arc

After them, Itachi Uchiha was shown utilizing this immense power in the Naruto series, and Sasuke Uchiha also went on to awaken it. Each Mangekyo Sharingan grants a unique ability to the user. In most cases, each eye of the Mangekyo Sharingan grants a specific ability and an ultimate ability known as the Susanoo.

Recently, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 20, which was officially released in V-Jump issue 5 on March 20, 2025, Sarada Uchiha unleashed the power of her Mangekyo Sharingan for the first time. This Mangekyo ability is known as Ohirume. Simply put, Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan ability allows her to produce up to four powerful black holes. The size and the strength of these black holes can be controlled by Sarada according to her will. On top of that, Sarada can also freely control what gets attracted by the black hole’s gravity and what is excluded. The strength of the gravity is such that even Otsutsuki-level individuals, such as the Shinju, cannot resist it and get immediately sucked in and crushed.

“The restraints are gone. The sand is all gathering in one spot. What’s going on? Are those eyes…Mangekyo Sharingan?” — Mitsuki, watching Sarada use her Mangekyo Sharingan for the first time, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #20

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 21, which was released on April 20, 2026, in V-Jump Issue #6, Sarada Uchiha utilized this power to absolutely demolish Ryu in combat. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 31, Sarada Uchiha once again tapped into the power of Ohirume to crush about twenty clones of Mamushi all at once, showcasing the incredible crushing power of this Dojutsu. When compared to Sasuke Uchiha’s Rinnegan, Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan is far better. Sasuke’s Rinnegan ability, called Amenotejikara, allows him to swap places with anything or anyone, or have two things swap places between themselves within a certain range, a certain number of times. This Dojutsu is strong but is more of a supplementary ability that allows Sasuke to take his enemies by surprise; however, when compared to Ohirume, it is lacking in terms of strength, making Sarada’s Mangekyo stronger.

Boruto Series Has Severely Nerfed The Power Of The Rinnegan

There is a very important distinction that needs to be made when it comes to comparing Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan with the Rinnegan. Simply put, Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan is very strong, but it cannot be compared to the original Rinnegan from the Naruto series. In Naruto, the Rinnegan had a multitude of overpowered abilities referred to as Six Paths Powers.

These powers made individuals almost god-like figures that could essentially rule over life and death. As explained by Nagato Uzumaki himself in Naruto Chapter 449, released in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #27 on June 15, 2009. Against the original Rinnegan, Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan would stand absolutely no chance, given that the Rinnegan can simply absorb any Ninjutsu, which also includes Ohirume itself.

However, it must be noted that in the Boruto series, the Rinnegan has been severely nerfed by Mikio Ikemoto. The original Six Paths Powers of the Rinnegan are barely used. As such, Sasuke Uchiha never utilizes the power of the Six Paths that makes him akin to a God and even opens up pathways to abilities like immortality and reincarnation for him, as he stated himself in Naruto Chapter #696. Due to the nerfed nature of the Rinnegan, which practically allows Sasuke to only use two specific techniques, those being a space-time ninjutsu that opens portals and Amenotejikara, this eye is officially inferior to Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan.

“I started with the Sharingan, but now I have the Rinnegan too. Reincarnation, immortality, have many options.” — Sasuke Uchiha explains the godly nature of the Rinnegan, Naruto Chapter #696

Sarada’s Next Mangekyo Sharingan Upgrades Will Put Her Over The Nerfed Rinnegan

Interestingly enough, Sarada Uchiha’s evolution isn’t quite done in the Boruto series. Right now, Sarada is dealing with the repercussions of overutilizing the Mangekyo Sharingan. The strength of Ohirume is comparable to a Rinnegan power, and because of this overpowered nature of her eyes, blindness is hitting her even harder than ever before, as confirmed by Sakura Haruno in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 34 on May 20, 2026. Sarada will have to figure out a way to bypass the blindness that comes with the Mangekyo Sharingan.

“As I thought, the prescription doesn’t seem right. Your eyesight has clearly worsened compared to before. It’s a risk that inevitably follows the Mangekyō Sharingan. The more you use it, the more your eyesight deteriorates… It depends on the nature of the technique and how it’s used… but in any case; If you keep using it like this, eventually, you’ll go completely blind.” — Sakura Haruno states Sarada’s eyesight is growing weaker, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #34

More than that, there are other abilities of Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan that haven’t been unveiled yet. As is the case with most Mangekyo, each eye offers a unique ability. In Sarada’s case, only one ability has been showcased so far, which means another power of her Mangekyo Sharingan will be showcased later down the line. What’s more, the ultimate ability of Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharingan, that is, the Susanoo, has yet to be revealed in the series. This power will make its debut in the series at some point later down the line, and when equipped with the incredibly powerful Ohirume ability, this Susanoo holds the potential to surpass all Rinnegan powers that exist in the world, including those from Naruto, if utilized correctly.

Kakashi Hatake, who wielded the dual Mangekyo Sharingan in the Fourth Great Ninja War, was even able to overwhelm Kaguya and prove that even with just the Mangekyo Sharingan, a Rinnegan can essentially be surpassed. Sarada can do something similar with her eye, provided Ikemoto handles the character properly, and that is something that we are eagerly waiting to see in the future.
