<p>The answer to your question is yes, <strong>Kakashi can obtain Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan</strong>.</p>

<p>But the problem is that his Sharingan consumes a lot of his chakra. At some stages, his overuse of Kamui made him exhausted, too. In this <strong><a href="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kamui" rel="nofollow noreferrer">source</a></strong>, it does say that:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Repeated use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the
  user, causing his left eye to bleed if overused"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>As a result, <strong>using Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan could result in a life-threatening situation for him</strong>. And as per the previous answer, you need to transplant a Mangekyou Sharingan, preferably from somebody close, such as a sibling.</p>

Is it possible for kakashi to take obito's MS and gain EMS ?? Because, we all know that kakashi doesn't have siblings. if someone pops in also, it would be impossible for him/her to have MS :P , because he is not from the mighty uchiha clan (I love this clan).

Theoritically no since Obito is not his sibling [except the fact that they were disciples of the same teacher i.e. Fourth Hokage].But Kakashi obtained Mangekyou Sharingan after killing Rin[even though they were not related apart from being  disciples of the same teacher i.e. Fourth Hokage ].Therefore from what I can speculate is that there could be a chance of him obtaining EMS with Obito's MS.But still,it's upto the hands of Sir Masashi Kishimoto.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened through the trauma experienced from the death of a person very close to the Sharingan user. Kakashi liked Rin for sure, there's no doubt in that. EMS can be awakened even by transplanting eye of a non-sibling (Though the success rate is less). But, I don't think Kishi will allow Kakashi to have EMS, because already we have enough people to deal with madara.

<p>Yes, Kakashi can obtain <strong>Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan</strong>. I would have to disagree with <a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/6730/is-it-possible-for-kakashi-to-obtain-an-eternal-mangekyo-sharingan/6760#6760">kakashi's answer</a> though. <strong>EMS</strong> consumes <strong><em>lesser chakra</em></strong> and puts <strong><em>lesser stress</em></strong> on the user casting it. Kakashi has to possess a Mangekyou Sharingan eye, assuming it's compatible to him, since it's not possible to obtain EMS just by implanting another set of MS.</p>

<p>So <strong>using EMS would be less life threatening</strong> to him than using MS, since, there is no risk of blindness after obtaining EMS.</p>

Should that be "less chakra" and "less stress" instead of "lesser"? Doesn't "lesser" imply that the chakra and stress are of an inferior nature rather than that less is being consumed?

@Kakashi  Okay, If being an Non-Uchiha hinders him to upgrade to EMS , so, according to that logic, he shouldn't have got the MS in the first place. But, he did got the MS in the normal way being a non uchiha(I mean the way uchiha's get their MS ),Hence, i think upgrading to EMS won't defy this logic and should be same for both Uchiha and non-Uchiha's alike.

@Kakashi agreed there. Kakashi cannot use the EMS to its fullest abilities. However, this doesn't eliminate the possibility of gaining EMS. Since EMS uses less chakra, he may be able to maintain his EMS longer than his present MS. But , yes he cannot use it to his fullest potential. We could take a hint from nagato too, since he was an uzumaki and could use Rinnegan, though not to his fullest extent. Same with kakashi.

<p>Since we're stuck, let's sum up what we know:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>YES - but: his Sharingan uses too much chakra, therefore he would be fully exhausted/maybe dead using the EMS, or he wouldn't be able to use it at its full power.</p></li>
<li><p>NO - because: Kakashi doesn't belong to the Uchiha clan, plus he doesn't have brothers or close ones to him with the same ability; even if he had someone, that someone must possess an MS, but we don't know about other people, except Sasuke.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So we could say that the odds are even, but it just hit me... Do we realize that we are talking about the same eyes??? As much as I would like to see him equipped with an EMS, if he could gain this eye by simply fusing his one with Obito's one, it would be the same as Madara would've fused his own eyes into one (we can argue that he would lose one eye, but the other would be an EMS), so practically every Uchiha member could've possessed an EMS just by fusing their own eyes.</p>

<p>So if we must make a conclusion, even if he isn't an Uchiha, nor he has siblings, therefore he doesn't got a chance to obtain a new set of eyes, I think the best answer and reason why Kakashi CAN'T obtain an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (but I'm eagerly waiting for "can answers") is because fusing your own eyes wouldn't result in EMS.</p>

<p>Kakashi is able to obtain EMS from another MS if obtained. He can't transplant Obitos MS that's stupid each MS eye left, right have there own powers, besides this they are the same exact MS so there won't be any difference.
When someone has MS and wants a EMS needs another MS from another person (Clanmate) to obtain EMS by combining those 2 MS they both combine their forms to make a mix like form for the new EMS.</p>

<p>One thing I'm curious we saw Madara with his brother when he got his eyes they mixed and became a new form,same thing with Sasuke with Itachi eyes.
But I can't understand when Sasuke fought with Itachi, Itachi wanted Sasuke's eyes even though they weren't MS. I thought to obtain EMS you need both users' eyes to be MS with different form to make a new form which would be the EMS, but the way Itachi was going its like transplanting normal Sharingan with a MS to make an EMS if that was so and would work what would the new EMS form would look like?</p>
