"A Visual Jutsu that hypnotizes enemies and copies techniques. Puts the user into Sharingan mode, granting one-time protection against most enemy jutsu attacks."
Sharingan is one of the Ninjutsu available to use in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, as a part of the base game.
Properties[]
The user activates their Sharingan, which is indicated by the signature red & black 3-tomoe design on the player. If the user is hit within 10 seconds of activation, they automatically use a Substitution Jutsu without using their stock; this matches with their currently equipped Substitution. The cooldown for this jutsu does not begin until Sharingan triggers, or deactivates.
If the user gets hit during the execution of a 2-phase Ninjutsu (e.g. Flying Raijin, Level 2 or Rasen-Rampage), the player will automatically use the Substitution and the execution of the second attack will either be interrupted, or will connect against the clone left behind.
This technique will not be activated by Youthful Roar.
This technique cannot defend from:
- Scientific Ninja Tool "Cooling Breeze" (deactivates the state)
- Flying Raijin Slice
- Flash Slice
- Izanami (both stages)
- Infinite Tsukuyomi
Usage Tips[]
An excellent move for CQC. With the right set, the player can be nigh-unstoppable since they have an easy get-out-of-trouble card - plus another if they haven't already used their Substitution - if they are getting ambushed by multiple players/CPU.
Additionally, when paired with Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, users can have a total of 3 Substitutions; adding the Scientific Ninja Tool "Shadow Clone Jutsu", this can give the user 5.
