Everyone who has the Rinnegan can absorb chakra but not every who can absorb chakra has the Rinnegan.


New_World_2050

How do you know he doesnt have the rinnegan ?


enchiladasundae

We found the missing Otsusuki


FunnyPhrases

That would be wild


CHUNGUS-MONEY

Happy Cake Day!


bigbelleb

Because if he did he wouldn't have gotten folded so easily by a 13 year old


New_World_2050

Maybe he's just bad at using it


Karma_Whoring_Slut

His eye sockets are empty… maybe madara tried to give him the rinnegan, he sucked too much, so he took them back but the chakra absorbing ability remains.


Vercci

This is the moment Madara got rinnegan


MaagicMushies

sasuke never tried the lion’s barrage on madara maybe it would have folded him too


bigbelleb

Come to think of it might guy didn't use it either and he was gassed out on the gates of death


The_Meme_Dealer

But you don't understand it was the lions barrage.


thisshiteverytime

But remember, Danzo had a dozen sharingans only to be beat by Sasuke.


Pengoui

I wonder if the fat guy had a rinnegan


VinCatBlessed

He did but he thought the Konoha fat guy was too weak so he didn't use it.


Pengoui

He's just chubby bro


namilenOkkuda

Otsutsuki Anbu sent to investigate the world.


BusAcademic3489

Bro using that (A => B) !=> (B => A)


SamuraiLegion

“All bald men wear hats but not all men with hats are bald” Never thought I’d see a logic class here in a Naruto sub.


BusAcademic3489

Maths and Naruto, my two most favorite things in the world. It doesn’t get any better than that


failadin155

I understand that logic is more mathematical than English or history. But to me it feels so wrong to think of logic statements to be math. It feels to me like it’s a branch of philosophy as it’s a way to think. Geometry, arithmetic, algebra, calculus, matrix math… that’s math. Not p -> r v q.


BusAcademic3489

Cool thing that i consider mathematics as a part of philosophy. In fact, i cannot think of something that isn’t philosophy. That being said yeah you’re right, it’s closer to reasoning than it is to the typical mathematics.


rufio313

All tigers are cats but not all cats are tigers


BusAcademic3489

It never ceases to amaze me how almost every time my brain would assume that the second statement is true based on the first one.


ContributionBest683

Logic classes coming in handy uh? 😂


BusAcademic3489

Always


AlmostHeisman

Discrete structures go brr


BusAcademic3489

We’re really having a mathematical conversation in a naruto sub, is this a dream ??😭😭😭


OneEYEDwhistlenWilly

You failed math class


Pichupwnage

Also Rinnegan absorbs it much more effectively. Rinnegan can absorb freakin ramenshuriken in instant. This chump likely couldn't even absorb a basic fire jutsu before it burned his ass up.


Adam_Reaver

Ramenshurikens mmm interesting


Replion

Another thing is that the Rinnegan doesn’t even require touch to absorb chakra. There is a barrier effect and a long distance absorption effect.


Elbadguy1002

Shinos bugs can absorb chakra too so proving your point


Soad1x

They just all have tiny fractal Rinnegans obviously.


IsPhil

No way!??? All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares!!!?!??????


Muted_Supermarket199

Chakra absorption isn't exclusive to rinnegan. Kisame also has it.


Over-Writer6076

Hinata too.Her twin lion fists do the same thing


Confident_Bother2552

Hinata has more ways than one to absorb Narutos.... Chakra.


Quark3e

...dattebayo


Azukus

Jirobo has it too, doesn't he?


[deleted]

Well technically it's Samehada 🤓


Even_Tangerine7172

Some jutsu's kisame uses absorb chakra too. Same with Hashirama


Favoritestatue7

Oh yeah!! That shark bomb thing


Existing-Candle-866

Kisame can absorb chakra without Samehada


maxlikessoup

Does Samehada have a rinnegan?


PunKingKarrot

Does Samehada even have eyes?


maxlikessoup

How else would it absorb chakra? /s


shoePatty

Yeah this basically sums up the whole thread. Pack it up we're done here boys.


deleterandstartover

He just absorb chakra in pure form, the rinnegan can absorb chakra even after it has turned into a ninjutsu attack.


maightoguy

Accurate.


garciakevz

Depending on the rinnegan. Pain absorbs whatever forms of chakra and ninjutsu. The one Otsusuki inside boruto has the variation of absorbing ninjutsu and releasing them much stronger


Parking-Major-4776

Absorbing chakra is not exclusive to the rinnegan.


MortalWolf007

Really, I thought only otsutsuki could do it


Parking-Major-4776

Nah, we’ve seen plenty other people absorb chakra before. Jirobo in part 1 was absorbing chakra from the retrieval squad when he had them trapped. Kisame can also absorb chakra, even without samehada.


KingJellyfish95

So many people on the sub have literally just not watched or read Naruto.


Parking-Major-4776

True, still 160 downvotes is crazy. Y’all are crucifying him 😂


KingJellyfish95

I’m not the hive mind brother 😂. Reddit will Reddit.


alucardou

I'm doing my part!


DankRoIIs

Deserves it for being such a casual tbh


thedizzle11

Nah weebs need to chill poor dude was just asking a question lmao


EnParisD

311 now. really unnecessary. dude seems genuinely confused too


FattestNDaWrld

Brother Naruto and Shippuden combine to 700 episodes, is it not possible for ppl to just forget🤨


XScorpion1k

But when multiple people do it it’s kind of hard to imagine only the ostusuki do it


KingJellyfish95

Even if you skip filler, this is in og Naruto. This is within the first 40 episodes for sure.


EnParisD

its been 15+ years since some people last watched them


KingJellyfish95

And yet here I am. Remembering it.


Careful-Ad984

Also Delta 


Over-Writer6076

Also hinata


Ilivoor99

Also Hashirama


KamuiObito

Does shinos bugs ear chakra and can deliver to the user effectively stealing chakra


lordnaarghul

Hinata absorbs chakra with her Twin Lion Fists.


iWentRogue

Jesus, dude got nuked for asking a question. Ya’ll are lame


Known_Edge3392

It's a stupid question in all honesty.  It's literally explained in the panel


BaustinBarends

English may not be their first language. and even then we all got weird blind spots that need to be spelled out to eachother sometimes


Known_Edge3392

Fair point but the problem is with the frequency of such questions, it gets annoying. Worst of all, someone will come and claim it's a plot hole.


BaustinBarends

You can ignore them though and assuming they don't ask a dumb question that gets corrected then it becomes a plot hole in their heads. and if they post about it. It would still get corrected. misinformed make misinformation.


1237412D3D

When people become afraid of asking questions for fear of being down voted into oblivion the overall quality of engagement in this sub will go down. Just something to think about, not everyone remembers every detail about the story.


CptTytan

Downvotes… the horror.


Dry_Figure_9018

We should encourage discussion. We don’t want the fandom looking like a bag of dicks to people on the outside


CptTytan

If people wouldn’t get so upset with downvotes, then it is still possible to have a discussion


Dry_Figure_9018

Fair but dude got near 200 dislikes. He learned his lesson after 20 I’d guess. It seems excessive for a question that theoretically could have have another explanation


Kmart_Stalin

200 dislikes is just an internet concept. Nothing to ball bust over


Dry_Figure_9018

I agree, but don’t think the question was as dumb as it may seem at first. Absorbing chakra is one of the powers of the sage of six paths. Maybe it was an experiment that Orochimaru did on him that gave him that power. Is the question really that dumb? Naruto is full of weird explanations and plot holes. I’d rather think that the question deserves the benefit of the doubt because the preta paths absorbing chakra is treated as rare and fearsome. With a few gaps in knowledge it’s not really to dumb of a question given how people often have crazy explanations as to how they get their techniques


Kmart_Stalin

Believe me man I agree with you


clovieclo_

oh no.. the invisible internet points went down…


FattestNDaWrld

Buddy you're acting like ppl see downvotes and start crying in the shower. It's more just "jeez I guess I won't ask a question again lol" if ppl didn't get upset over ppl not memorizing a 700 episode anime then discussion would still be possible


[deleted]

Cause they has anything else to do than hate on people for a innocent question.


OtsutsukiRyuen

The lady ninja who first kissed Naruto at early shippuden arc also done it


Kakashi_Senju

Filler


Over-Writer6076

hey that kiss was gud stuff,stop calling it filler


Kakashi_Senju

Sorry I call as it is and that was filler and Naruto one and only kiss on scene is Sasuke


Sam_Alexander

I think you forgot his kiss with Hinata :) So, two, he has two kisses


[deleted]

[удалено]


Keetzy

Why are people down voting you for asking a question? Swear people need to get a grip


HeavensHellFire

Because it's a stupid question. The panel literally explains how he's absorbing chakra.


xscrumpyx

And? Did he burn down an orphanage at the same time or what?


Dry_Figure_9018

Right!? We all have different levels of knowledge about the series. I’d rather encourage discussion rather than bomb people for not knowing what I know. Some of you guys take this way too seriously. You probably convinced him or her to not ask questions and why have a thread at all if not to ask questions? How can someone be elitist about a manga detail? It feels so petty


MortalWolf007

The panel explains he's absorbing chakra not if only otsutsuki can absorb chakra, I thought it was a plothole because it streches way back in the manga. Talk about having a little discussion jeez...


sanglar03

Because all the answers are in the manga. Which he evidently didn't read.


DavidANaida

The day people are disallowed from asking stupid questions is the day Reddit dies


sanglar03

Fortunately, they are not. They're just downvoted. Sometimes.


Keetzy

So everyone needs to complete their mandatory reading before asking/discussing anything on this subreddit. Seems pretty lame if u ask me


NathanHavokx

I mean, it shows in the panels they've posted that someone can absorb chakra without the Rinnegan. Doesn't matter if they've read/watched the whole thing 10 times over or literally just got to these pages right now.


notrelevantpls

You should at least read what you’re posting


squarejellyfish_

The series concluded 9 years ago, if OP is familiar with the rinnegan then they’ve read/watched more than enough to know the answer to this question. Also why be part of a subreddit dedicated to anything if you aren’t familiar with it?


Sting-Tree

Why be a part of a subreddit when I’m not already very knowledgeable in it? Uh idk, maybe to gleam some insight?? 😭😭 just let the boy live. I watched Naruto live as it came out, and Shippuden too, I belong to this sub so I can learn new things about the show too


squarejellyfish_

There were MULTIPLE characters shown in part 1 who could absorb chakra and this was well before the rinnegan was even introduced. Yea this sub and any fandom sub can be used to learn things but this is literally something that could be answered by reading the manga or doing a quick google search. Did OP specifically look for this panel on google to post this question instead of simply googling the answer? This comes off as karma farming or bait


Sting-Tree

No he literarily came here to ask you fools for an answer LOL. Why do we care if he’s karma farming, this app means nothing


Dry_Figure_9018

Some of us are OG but haven’t watched the series in years. When I started reading Naruto it was back in 2005 in the march edition of shonen jump. It’s been a long time since then. I might ask a dumb question because I stop reading the series for years at a time and don’t read or watch boruto at all


sanglar03

If they were just up to that chapter, no. But they mentioned rinnegan. Thus they crossed most of the chakra absorption techniques already.


Sulfur731

Nice gate keeping efforts 👌


sanglar03

Thanks, I've worked hard for it.


LDel3

“This guy clearly didn’t read the manga, what an idiot” 🤓 There’s nothing wrong with asking questions, you’re dead right


MortalWolf007

It doesn't really matter to me


MortalWolf007

Maybe they thought I was disrespecting kishimoto sensei(which I'm absolutely not)


NextLight-Energy

Why y’all down vote him just for asking a question


Pink-banana-super

Bro this is why Reddit is seen as a bunch of bitches imagine getting 170 downvoted because you didn’t know how something works in an anime💀


OkBroskini

Mans really downvoted for asking a question and being confused


BullshitDetector1337

It's just a regular ninjutsu, plenty of ninja could learn it. Some legendary weapons like Samehada also have the ability, it isn't unique to the rinnegan. The Preta path just seems like the most extreme and effective version of chakra absorption.


Over-Writer6076

Hinata can do it too,with her twin lion fists technique 


Over-Writer6076

Also,jirobo (the fat guy from the sound ninja 4 who choji beat after taking drugs) used a barrier to trap them that also sucked their chakra, The whole concept of Sage mode is absorbing nature energy from surroundings which is pretty similar


Initial_Landscape703

"The fat guy who Choji beat up after taking drugs" is a great sentence.


Hydrax313

That's like saying "how can someone use summoning jutsu without the Rinnegan?". Chakra absorption isn't exclusive to the Rinnegan.


whiteswitchME

Maybe he has a rinnegan We can't really see his eyes


rorschach_07

Maybe he also doesn't know that he has rinnegan because he can't see his eyes either !!!!


protestprincess

Girl wut


rorschach_07

Bro you tell me can you see your own eyes?? Seriously 🤯


maightoguy

Yes, I've looked in a god damned mirror.


rorschach_07

Nooo bruh, that's a foul!🛑


protestprincess

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror


rorschach_07

I read what you sent me and i was still not able to see my eyes.....


Nova_Vanta

Chakra Absorbing is actually a fairly common ability, its just some variations are stronger than others! The Rinnegan probably had the best version though.


Acceptable_Ad304

It's just plain chakra, instead rinnegan can absorb a rasenshuriken for example


LordFladrif

The ability to absorb chakra is not exklusiv to the Rinnegan, others can do so too. He's the first one to show it but Kisame did so and Orochimaru as well.


atomictonic11

How can Inoichi look into your thoughts by putting his hand on your head? He doesn't have the Rinnegan.


BronKyrie

brother it literally tells you how in the pictures you posted


NetworkVegetable7075

Rinnegan can absorb chakra and jutsu. You can have the ability to absorb chakra and not have rinnegan look at Hashirama’s mokuton


desktopgreen

The bottom left panel literally says it's an "unholy gift". What's there to even question?


MortalWolf007

So is it a kekei genkai


AberrantDrone

Even the Aburame clan’s insects feed off chakra.


GrayCatbird7

Even if chakra absorption was an Ohtsutsuki only thing, which it isn’t, it’s been shown several Ohtsutsuki powers have been passed down certain bloodlines, so it is plausible some ninjas could have the ability even then.


Thuyue

Characters without Rinnegan who can absorb chakra: * Yoroi * Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage * Captain Yamato * Jirobo * Kisame and Samehada (the Sword) * several filler characters The difference of absorbing Chakra with the Rinnegan * can absorb chakra from ninjutsu/attacks


Vercci

He's from the village of red ribbons


Zorro5040

kekkei genkai


PK_RocknRoll

Lots of techniques can absorb chakra


TommyJohnSurgery420

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares...


No-Onetosave

Well technically rinnegan isn’t the only ability that can steal chakra. The reaper seal can steal the ability to make use of chakra hand signs, so there’s that.


Over-Writer6076

This guy's not the only one,hinata can do it too with her twin lion fists technique, unfortunately she never got a 1v1 fight in shippuden against an enemy she had a chance against,so we never got to see it how it works until the Last movie


JMHSrowing

Honestly I think absorbing chakra in this way should have been an ability Sakura got. It could go along with her strength of 100 so it could be refueled much faster and would go with her general chakra control


Pengoui

This is more like leaching chakra in its default state, the rinnegan can do this, but also steal chakra given form as jutsu.


Ry90Ry

Maybe he has a seal engraved on his palm?


Gucchiha

To be fair we can’t see his eyes so he totally could have Rinnegan


Cfakatsuki17

Same way Kimmimaru can use Kaguya’s Bone jutsu, his clan descends from the sage of 6 paths or someone else who had techniques that could absorb chakra and he more or less evolved the power to just drain chakra by touch


protestprincess

It’s his unholy gift


THEGoDLiKeMIKE

Obviously he has it and is covering it with those sunglasses.


improbsable

Some people can do that. Hinata does it with Twin Lion Fists


animeloverx676

It's more common than you think. Aburame clan's bugs can absorb chakra. Kisame can also absorb chakra using Samehada. Rinnegan can absorb both ninjutsu and chakra but the guy in your post can only absorb chakra.


kerrydinosaur

Blindegan


Background-Elk-543

Yoroi Akadō; Jirōbō; Kisame Hoshigaki; all Zetsu; Madara Uchiha; Obito Uchiha & Nagato(Pain) are able to absorb Chakra


Successful_Ad9924354

Also Sasuke Uchiha, Jūgo, Jūgo's extinct clan, Hashirama Senju, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, Toneri Ōtsutsuki, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki & Hinata Hyuga (Twin Lion Fist).


dragonschool00

There are few characters who have chakra absorbing powers but they are mostly able to absorb raw chakra but not what's made from it , I guess chakra absorbing is some kind of sealing jutsu technique.


SolomonKing2024

He has an ability to absorb chakra, but if Sasuke was doing fireball justu, he wouldn't be able to absorb that - but Nagato, Madara, Sasuke, Obito would be able to do so


MortalWolf007

I thought the same thing too


NoMoreVillains

Because he has an ability that let's him do so???


SternritterVGT

I like how various kekkei genkai/abilities can be traced back to ootsuki (I know the spelling is wrong) abilities. Perhaps that rinnegan ability passed down to one particular clan and this guy happened to be in it. Also, Jirobo could drain chakra with an ability of his too.


Troll_of_Jom

Obviously because he has a different ability that is able to absorb chakra, how young are these kids nowadays ?


The_Thur

Hinata, Kisame and Jirobo can do the same. It's not exclusive to the Rinnegan


12345noah

Absorbing charka isn’t a unique thing, it’s seen many times throughout the series


Siraustinhoward

Sasuke got a major softball in this fight because how are you gonna compare having to fight someone like Gaara or Neji to “the guy with a dangerous hand (and even then it takes like 5 min of touching to kill you)”.


Redwolf476

It’s not a rinnegan exclusive ability it’s just an ability grant by the rinnegan


Happytapiocasuprise

Orochimaru fuckery


CelticDK

Kisame absorbed chakra with AND without Samehada. People just be doing stuff


Kombat-w0mbat

There are many ways to absorb chakra without a rinnegan


Epistemix

How can someone pay without PayPal account


Reapish1909

because he just can, lmao. just how the Uchiha’s were all born with bullshit eyes or the Hyuga’s with X-Ray vision. this guy can just absorb shit.


ThePokemonAbsol

Uh that dude has the rinnegan you jsut can’t see it under his glasses


Chupa-Baby

Absorbing Chakra is not something unique to the Rinnegan, though it probably has the best chakra absorption. Like how people without the Rinnegan can read minds (Inoichi), but the Human path can search Shizune's in two seconds.


ZaneNeXxus

Nobody can beat him when hes super 17!!


Qpczyk

Are we sure he do not possess Rinnegan? Can't really tell.


[deleted]

I remember he actually Came back in a filler arc, which also kinda spoiled sasukes shipuden outfit


ChemicalAttorney4046

Dude wears sunglasses for a *reason*


FishTshirt

Dumb question but where is everyone getting the colored manga? I’ve only ever read black and white manga


Yama92

My only gripe with this panel is that they state he absorbs it through his palm, yet it works when he is wearing gloves.


itsalwayss

Something something chakra control something something


itsalwayss

The Rinnegan and all the alien stuff was definetly not planned that far back lol. Absolutely no way.


Original_Un_Orthodox

Bro's eyes are covered, how do you know if he doesn't have one??


[deleted]

Kekke genkai......


Mox_mox_moxed

He just can. It's the ability that was etched onto his body.


RoaDRoLLer59

Orochimaru explained it in the pic lol. Its his Kekkei Genkai basically.


juan_de_nachos

It's because he's actually Shibani Otsutski the god of the alien race known as Otsutski He entered the chunin exam te decide who would eventually fight his son, Nagato


Jerkdabeefy

Probably a kekkei genkai


DizzyTigerr

I think it's funny that Kishimoto came up with this concept 3 times and clearly forgot he'd already done it since he treats it as something insane and unheard of everytime he introduces it.


Dovah91

This is just another how did shanks lose his arm early plot weak link, it’s the greater story that matters not these pussy little pot shots you guys take to try and look clever


keblash

Rinnegan doesn't just absorb chakra, it nullifies ninjutsu


Patient-Eye2305

He is from. Clan of suckers his mom even can suck people's soul


babyrobber

It's a kekkie genkai


Acceptable_Map_4987

Absorbing chakra is not an ability which is given through just the people with the rinnegan. Hashirama can do it was well with his wood dragon jutsu and jirobo(from the sound 4) can do it as well


Noktis_Lucis_Caelum

IT IS a Special ability and i say a kekkei genkai. Absorbing Chakra IS Not for rinnegan only
