Sharingan copy

[pandoru]

SPOILER: Click to show

Tier Three - Perfect Mimicry: One of the Uchiha's clans most feared powers is the ability to copy nearly any technique they see their opponent perform. However, without proper training, the user quickly forgets the technique shortly after being used. To eliminate this weakness, there are those of the clan who strive to strengthen their memorizing abilities above all else. For a cost (barring themselves from the previous two tiers of perks), the user can permanently memorize any viable technique (non-kekkei touta; non-kekkei genkai) they copy using the clan's Higi technique.

It should be noted that the this mastery allows the user to copy a technique, even if they do not currently have the elemental release. However, simply copying the technique does not open the path to the rest of the tree (essentially, the user can only use the elemental technique they copied).

1) can someone please explain what the difference is between this and what uchiha can already do with a sharingan? Right now I get the impression that they are the same with exception that the tier allows you to copy any element or inton that you don't have without taking up slots. Also that you can copy all taijutsu techs b rank and under provided it doesn't require being a taijutsu primary.

2) I couldn't find the "higi technique" that it references

3) I don't know the difference between advanced releases and kekkai touta. Does this mastery allow the copying of say, the wood release?

You can't copy KT's

Higi doesnt exist anymore

And the final third tier mastery gives you the ability to remember the said jutsu you copied after you exit the thread you copied it in.

so pretty much free techniques? sweeet

(thanks btw)

Yes, it's pretty much free techniques.

This allows you to permanently copy techniques you've seen, whereas the usual Sharingan only permits you to copy the technique for the thread in which the eye is used.

As Bit said, you can't copy KT's or anything like that (regardless of if you have the preceding elements.
