Sasuke Uchiha and the Gedo Statue: Can He Use It?

One of the many intriguing aspects of the Naruto series involves the mysterious ろりんpériodo or Rinnegan power, which gives users access to a set of formidable abilities. Within this framework, the Gedo Statue or Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has long been a point of interest. Many fans have wondered if Sasuke Uchiha, with his Rinnegan power, can effectively use the Gedo Statue for various purposes. This article delves into the nuances of the situation, discussing Sasuke's access and potential use of the statue.

Access to the Gedo Statue

The first point to clarify is that while Sasuke Uchiha does have the Rinnegan, which gives him access to some of the same capabilities as those directly associated with the Gedo Statue, he does not wield it in the same way as characters such as Nagato or Obito Uchiha. The Gedo Statue is primarily known for its ability to extract Tailed Beasts, and it is deeply linked with the Outer Path techniques. Sasuke's abilities are more focused on his Sharingan and Rinnegan powers, including various techniques like Susanoo and Amaterasu. While he does have the Rinnegan which grants him certain capabilities related to the Gedo Statue, it is not used extensively in the same manner as those characters who have a stronger connection to it.

Key Considerations for Sasuke Using the Gedo Statue

Several factors need to be taken into account when considering whether Sasuke can use the Gedo Statue:

1. The Possibility of Summoning and Controlling the Gedo Statue

While people have concerns about summoning and controlling the Gedo Statue, Sasuke's access to the Rinnegan would theoretically allow him to summon and control it. However, there are several reasons why this may not be feasible:

Contract Killing**: The Gedo Statue would kill anyone who tries to make a contract with it, ensuring that no one can use its power. Kaguya's Release: Summoning the Gedo Statue and potentially the Ten Tails would release Kaguya, who would bring about the end of the world.

2. The Geological and Biological Context

At the time Sasuke acquired the Rinnegan, the Gedo Statue had already been turned back into the God Tree. This tree was formed from Kaguya's body, with her chakra extracted and her body transformed into the statue. Later, Madara absorbed this tree, leading to Kaguya's sealed body being transported to another dimension. This means that the Gedo Statue no longer exists for Sasuke to control, or is at least extremely unlikely.

3. Specific Questions and Debunking Misconceptions

Many misconceptions surround the use and summoning of the Gedo Statue, and some of them are debunked below:

Myth 1: Resurrecting the Ten Tails and Kaguya

Summing up the Gedo Statue alone does not resurrect the Ten Tails or Kaguya. In order to do so, one must follow a series of steps:

Absorb all the Tailed Beasts inside the Gedo Statue.

Resurrect the Ten Tails by absorbing the Ten Tails inside your body.

Summon the Divine Tree to use as a vessel.

Absorb the Divine Tree to open the Third Eye, the Rinne Sharingan.

Cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the Moon to bring back Kaguya.

Even if these steps were completed, Kaguya's release from her sealed dimension would be necessary for her return, which is highly unlikely.

Myth 2: Sasuke's Control Over the Gedo Statue

Variables like genetic composition play a crucial role in controlling the Gedo Statue. For example, Madara and Obito were able to control it due to the presence of Senju and Uchiha DNA. Sasuke, having received Hashirama cells from Kabuto, likely has the genetic makeup to control the Gedo Statue perfectly.

Myth 3: Sealed in Another Dimension

Madara was able to break the seal on the Gedo Statue and summon it, even from the moon, allowing Sasuke to overcome this limitation. Given that Sasuke has access to Kaguya's dimensions, it should not be difficult for him to summon the statue from another dimension.

Myth 4: Sasuke Is Stronger Than the Gedo Statue

While it is true that Sasuke is stronger than the Gedo Statue, there are still valid reasons for him to use it. The Gedo Statue can be an invaluable asset in fighting Tailed Beast Jinchuurikis, like Naruto and Killer Bee, due to its ability to quickly absorb Tailed Beasts. Therefore, using the Gedo Statue would provide significant advantages in these specific battles.

Conclusion

While the Gedo Statue remains a fascinating element of the Naruto series, its use by Sasuke Uchiha is complex and fraught with challenges. Despite these challenges, Sasuke's access to the Rinnegan means that he theoretically has the capability to summon and control the Gedo Statue. However, various factors, including the potential for releasing Kaguya and the nature of Kaguya's sealing, complicate the practicality of this action. Sasuke's use of the Gedo Statue would be highly situational and dependent on the specific circumstances of the battle.
