Sharingan 

The Sharingan is a special type of dojutsu (pupil technique) that naturally occurs in all members of the Uchiha clan, though not all of them gain the ability to utilize it. The Sharingan is thought to be descended from the Byakugan, but grants the user different abilities and a different insight. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to. It can memorize ninjutsu (ninja techniques), genjutsu (illusionary techniques), and taijutsu (hand-to-hand techniques) with perfect accuracy and allow the user to use the techniques, so long as they have the necessary resources to do so. Second, it has the ability to predict an opponent's movement, as well as allowing to track fast moving objects with great clarity. Third, it is capable of a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent. Fourth, it can see through genjutsu, the level of which is possibly dependent on the user's skill.

In order to copy a jutsu, one has to have the physical ability to perform the technique. For example, they have to have the needed amount of chakra, stamina, agility, and/or strength in order to perform said technique. In addition to physical skill, the Sharingan cannot copy any other bloodline abilities or summon a creature the user has not made a contract with because the user of the Sharingan has to have the same blood as the other user.

The Sharingan does not automatically appear from birth in a user; instead, it will usually appear when the user is in a life threatening situation, where the power of the Sharingan could save the user. After this first appearance, the user can then call up the Sharingan any time he or she pleases. (Due to its unique nature, Kakashi's Sharingan is "permanently on", and thus he covers it except during heated battles, to conserve chakra.) The power of the Sharingan is judged through the number of tomoe in the person's eye. It is not unheard of for a Sharingan user to have different amounts of tomoe in each eye. For example, Sasuke's Sharingan initially had two tomoe in one eye and one in the other. Eventually his Sharingan evolved to two tomoe in each eye, then three. A fully-matured Sharingan has three tomoe in each eye.

Interestingly enough, it is possible to transplant Sharingan eyes from one person to another, as occurred with Kakashi and his deceased comrade Obito. However, transplanted eyes do not work as well in a non-Uchiha body, causing much more strain on the user, as is the case with Kakashi - extended use of his Sharingan will cause him to collapse. Uchiha clan members are not burdened with this weakness; while activation of the Sharingan does consume chakra, the drain is so small as to be almost insignificant. Uchiha Itachi in particular seems to have no trouble in keeping his Sharingan activated near-constantly.

Characters who currently possess the Sharingan include Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi, and Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi's eye was given to him by Uchiha Obito, one of his teammates in his original three-man ninja team. Obito developed it in battle against rival Rock shinobi and during this battle Kakashi lost his left eye when he was attacked, which is also the reason for his scar there. Near the end of the battle Obito's right side is crushed under a giant rock, and as his last act Obito has Rin, a medical ninja, remove his left eye and implant it in Kakashi's left eye, thus allowing Kakashi to use the Sharingan even though he does not have Uchiha blood. This is also why only his left eye is a Sharingan eye.

Sharingan is the pupil condition of the Uchiha clan in the manga/anime Naruto.

Mangekyou Sharingan 

Mangekyou Sharingan is translated as Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye. It is a higher form of the Uchiha clan's sharingan. The basic sharingan will enable the user to memorize any technique that it has been a witness to including ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu techniques it can also enable the user to see through and illusionary technique. With the Mangekyou Sharingan activated, one major advantage is to be able to use the three most powerful jutsu possible, tsukuyomi, amaterasu, and susanoo. The disadvantage of the Mangekyou Sharingan is, it causes the deterioration of the eyes.

Secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan 

The Mangekyou Sharingan (literally Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye in Japanese) is the 4th and highest level of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan (a technique from the wonderful anime, "Naruto"). Aquiring it signifies complete mastery of the Sharingan, which allows usage to techniques such as Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi. The secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan is that only those from the Uchiha clan who have achieved the 3rd level of Sharingan (3 teardrops in both eyes), and have killed their best friend, may use it. So far in the Naurto manga, Uchiha Itachi is the only one who has been revealed that has achieved such a level.
"If you open your eyes to the truth, including me, the number of people who can handle/deal with the Mangekyou Sharingan will have become three." - Uchiha Itachi to Uchiha Sasuke

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
