Why does Kakashi close his Sharingan eye in Naruto? This is the answer

Kakashi Hatake was once known as the Copy Ninja, all thanks to the Sharingan he had.

This Sharingan eye was one of Kakashi’s powers in his time, but there is a unique situation that accompanies it, what is it?

1. Kakashi must close his Sharingan eye when not in use

Kakashi’s characteristic is that his face is very covered, not only does he use a mask, but his headband also falls slightly to the left to cover his left eye.

Of course not without reason, because in his left eye at that time was the Sharingan eye.

But why does Kakashi have to cover his Sharingan eye?

2. Unlike Uchiha, Kakashi’s Sharingan is always active!

The Uchiha clan channeled their emotions into forms chakras into their eyes and create Sharingan. They also have the ability to “deactivate” the Sharingan by not channeling it chakras into their eyes, later their eyes will become normal eyes.

On the other hand, Kakashi is not from the Uchiha clan, he was also given eyes Sharingan in active condition, so Kakashi does not have the ability to “deactivate” this eye.

Because of that, his left eye is always active Sharingan and always absorbing chakras Kakashi if used.

3. He closed his Sharingan eye to reduce his chakra usage

Because Kakashi’s Sharingan cannot be deactivated, he always sees with the Sharingan in his left eye, what is the solution?

The solution was obviously not to need to see with his left eye, that’s why he closed his left eye and of course behind his headband, Kakashi’s left eye was also closed.

Because of this, use chakras Kakashi’s Sharingan wasn’t that great, so he wasn’t in any danger of running out chakras.

4. The Sharingan consumes a lot of chakra, even Kakashi died because his chakra ran out of Sharingan’s power

Indeed, why did he have to close his Sharingan eyes? How much? chakras what do these eyes use?

The answer is a lot! Especially if he is not an Uchiha descendant like in Kakashi’s case.

For example, when Kakashi uses force Sharingan And Mangekyou Sharingan more than once when fighting Pain, the result was that he ran out chakras and died. Despite being revived by Nagato.

So that’s the reason why Kakashi closed his Sharingan eye, what do you think?
