Genjutsu: Sharingan

Genjutsu: Sharingan broadly refers to a range of genjutsu performed with the Sharingan. It has also been shown to be performed through the Sharingan's higher evolutions: the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan.
== Usage ==
By establishing eye contact with a target, the Sharingan user traps them within a genjutsu which can be exploited for one of various purposes, such as: causing instantaneous — but temporary — loss of consciousness or paralysis in the target,Naruto chapter 560, page 7Naruto chapter 456, page 8 forceful extraction of information,Naruto chapter 408, pages 3-5Naruto chapter 510, page 16 relaying memories,Naruto chapter 590, page 6 erasing memories,Boruto episode 136 removing genjutsu placed on the target by others,Naruto chapter 585, pages 12 and controlling a target's actions.Naruto chapter 540, page 14Naruto chapter 588, page 3 
Members of the Uchiha clan are particularly famous for using their Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails, so much so that Konoha quickly came to suspect Uchiha involvement in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack.Naruto chapter 501, pages 7-8 Sasuke Uchiha is noted to be able to use the technique through his Rinnegan, to trap all the tailed beasts in a genjutsu with a mere glance.Naruto chapter 692
The illusions created by Genjutsu: Sharingan do not appear to have any trademark form, appearing vastly different between the same functions and even the same users. For example, Sasuke typically uses it to render targets unconscious, yet on the first occasion the target's body is pierced with large feathers,Naruto chapter 413, pages 8-9 on another, the target is grasped and overwhelmed by a shadowy figure,Naruto chapter 462, pages 5-7 and on the third the target experiences Sasuke personally stabbing them.Naruto chapter 692, page 8
== Trivia == 
* SasukeNaruto chapter 413, pages 7–8 and Itachi UchihaNaruto: Shippūden episode 376Naruto: Shippūden episode 455 have both been shown activating their Mangekyō Sharingan to cast genjutsu despite already having their regular Sharingan activated, implying that this technique is enhanced in some way by the evolved dōjutsu, or that there is a similar technique utilised only by the Mangekyō Sharingan.
* A shadowy version of Sasuke's humanoid Susanoo first appears in a genjutsu he creates, only making a formal début several chapters later.
* By making eye contact with a jinchūriki, Obito could use this technique to control the tailed beast sealed inside them, while its host remained unaffected.Naruto chapter 501, pages 7–11
* Despite genjutsu working by altering the chakra flow of a target's cerebral nervous system, this technique affected Mecha-Naruto who doesn't have a brain.
* Madara is shown having to deactivate his Rinnegan to his Mangekyō Sharingan to perform this technique.Naruto chapter 588, page 8Naruto: Shippūden episode 339 However, this wasn't required in Sasuke's usage.
