It would be quite stupid for Kakashi to cover his eye just to "be cool." Like I said, he loses depth perception and gets a huge blind spot. There would be no point in covering it if he could turn it off, except that one eyeball would be red. Everyone knows Kakashi has sharingan. Everyone who knows what it is anyway.
If you guys read back into the chapters where kakashi is fighting the itachi clone and gai is fighting the kisame clone.... Itachi before you know he is a clone is saying something about being unable to use mangyekou... kakashi then goes into asking him about how bad his vision really is.. the reason he keeps it covered up is so that he will not have a blind sharingan eye from over use of teh sharingan.
What's your point? This just further proves he covers his eye because he can't turn it off. Having his vision go bad is just a side effect of not being able to turn it off along with the chakra drain.Originally Posted by bbaucom
I think his point was another factor on why Oro trying to takeover Sasuke's body instead of transplanting his eyes is not a plot failure.
for the 454548678607867087th time, sharingan does NOT makes you blind
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
I don't know about the accuracy of him becoming blind and such is, but it's a known fact that he can't turn off his Sharingan, and most importantly since the he doesn't have an Uchiha blood or body, his Sharingan uses a ridiculous amount of chakra... That's why he's has been hospitalized a couple of times already after using the Sharingan.
The main point is that transplanting the Sharingan is a bad idea, it's best to actually transfer one's soul to the Uchiha body. You also need to remember that Oro is also looking for the perfect host that will be capable of whistanding his "power" so that he can grow old with the body, no need to keep transfering every three years or so.
Yeah... I could have sworn rememering it was only the MS that can make you go blind if you use it oftenly.
As for the whole Kakashi covering his eye part... I'm pretty sure he closes it and the mask just helps hold down the eyelid so it's easier to hold it closed.
@Stoopider, when you itch your eye.... The white part of the eye turns red... Not the colored part.. (I don't remember the official terms for those parts, but whatever.)
No.......also wrong.....
Yes it's been confirmed that the overuse of mangekyou causes strain on the person's eyes, but it has never been proven that it leads to blindness. You're all just referring to residue assumptions based on the encounter between kakashi and itachi, when in reality the conversation eluded to kakashi having mangekyou, not itachi losing his vision.

i will have to re-read the manga, but when i read it, the only thing i pulled from kakashi's encounter with itachi was that he was suggesting that itachi could no longer see well because of the sharingan... although this was pointless because it was not the real itachi...
This is pretty much literally what they say:
Itachi says "Kakashi...you...!"
Kakashi says "Itachi, how bad have your eyes gotten?"
Now, this is all they really said in that scene, and this led to two drastically different interpretations...either:
1) itachi's eyes are going bad.
2) kakashi had developed a new uber ability that itachi had failed to notice.
It was later revealed that kakashi had mangekyou, which proves that #2 is accurate. Does this disprove #1? Not necessarily, however, what it does disprove was that the scene had implied #1 to be true.

If I was Orochimaru, I would not want the body of a 12 year old...therefore its a good choice to wait?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????
Maybe he wanted Sasuke to pimp all those 14-yr old hoes chasing after him. (He's about 14 now.)
Aren't they like 16-17 after the time jump?
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
Imo, it itches like a bitch. Hence he covers it if not he'll be rubbing it all day and get a red eye. Wait.. it's already red..
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
I'm with Jaysee, famouh and genma on the sharingan thing. Oro could have transplanted one or both of the eyes from Sasuke, but I doubt he could turn them off. With all the strain of the chakra the eyes take, he would have exhausted and possibly killed himself from this procedure (unless he chooses to keep his eyes closed most of the time). It's much easier and safer to acquire the Sharingan by the soul transfer technique. Unfortunately it didn't pan out for him...
