Raido X

"The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the other person a choice: Your enemy must feel they are in control, but are actually your puppets. Give people options that come out in your favor, whichever option they choose. Force them to make choices between the lesser of two evils, both of which serve your purpose."

- Raido X to Ameyuri Aoki

Raido X (ライド・Ｘ, Raido Ekusu) is a nomadic shinobi, who is a part of the Uchiha Clan. Despite his knowledge of this Raido has done little to claim them going by the name he is known for today. He is famously known for his adaptive prowess and the legendary dōjutsu he withholds. Together with Yama his spirit guide the two travel the world on Raido's quest to become a Siddha.

Background
During nine tails attack on the leaf village a young Raido was separated from his parents who guided others to safety. The explosions and debris winded up being the reason for this separation and he was knocked out by the impending chaos around him which led to him drifting in and out of consciousness. In his momentary confusion a hand reached out to promising to guide him safely back to his parents, this person was none other than Orochimaru who had ambition far beyond getting the boy back to his family. A young Raido passed out from a severe concussion just as he takes Orochimaru’s hand and wakes up in the care of Orochimaru within one of his many secret labs. The young boy awoke with a severe case of amnesia due to the blow he sustained during the fox’s rampage on the village and had no memory prior to waking up to where he was now. Orochimaru knew of the child’s background that he was of the Uchiha Clan and remembered the many years of research he and Kabuto had done on the Stone Tablet in the Naka Shrine. With the child’s memory gone Orochimaru saw a glimmer of hope for his ambitions as he could experiment on the child freely. He could use the idea of bring back the child’s memory as the gateway to freely do what he wanted to his body knowing the child would agree and offer no resistance. Under the banner of restoring his memory Orochimaru began to conduct experiments.

Project:Rebirth
Following the hypothesis he and Kabuto gathered from many years of studying the stone tablet in the Naka Shrine he began to splice the child’s DNA with that of Hashirama Senju's. Orochimaru carefully rewrote Raido’s DNA to sync and co-exist with that of Hashiramas. The experimentation so far proved to be successful as the boy lived through the procedures, however in order to see the fruit of his work he would need to run test on the boy to see if the Rinnegan would activate. Raido was placed in brutal tests that he barely passed but no evolution was present not Sharingan nor Rinnegan. This first failed attempt caused Orochimaru to place Raido back into the lab where could perhaps experiment further. Going back over their notes Kabuto and Orochimaru searched doggedly to find where they had gone wrong and even sent Kabuto to retrieve others various objects that would assist what he dubbed Project: Rebirth. After years of missions to gather more research for their hypothesis from the tablet. Kabuto introduced the idea to perhaps strengthen the boys own genes and DNA. Using the DNA he gathered from Madara Uchiha he later spliced it into the boy’s body in hopes of enhancing not only his DNA but amplify his oculars powers should he unlock them.

Orochimaru being defeated by Sasuke left full control of Project:Rebirth in the sole hands of Kabuto. Some years later after Kabuto spliced Madara’s DNA into the child body by rewriting Raido’s and Hashirama's DNA to better cope with the new cells. Allowing them to go through the mitosis stage in a controlled manner to ensure the cells did not destroy the child’s body. The second experiment was more delicate than the first as Orochimaru had already rewritten Raido’s original DNA to fit that of Hashirama’s and adding another to it was extremely dangerous. Raido’s heart was said to have stopped, through pure will and sheer determination the boy fought back to life making the operation successful. After a successful operation Kabuto once again interrupted the cryo-stasis animation jutsu. Awoke the young man, filling his head with more lies and as before ran a series of brutal test to force the evolution. Raido was placed in what Kabuto kept in line with Orochimaru's original Three Stages of Hell. Each stage was meant to push Raido to his absolute limit and place in him kill or be killed situations. These tests were grueling and barbaric. Raido fought in heinous conditions and handicapped situations. Raido was placed up against numerous experiments that included other children, adults odd sub species genetically altered by the Sannin and even well trained shinobi all with one main objective. Survive or die trying. Each of the three stages were meant to induce a life threatening situation to force the evolution of his clans visual prowess, or the Rinnegan. Testing his physical, mental and spiritual prowess ensuring that his taijutsu, genjutsu and Ninjutsu were challenged. Orochimaru made sit clear to a young Raido his failure to pass these test would result in his death. Should he pass then he only earned the right to live to see the end of the day, a gift in itself according to the Sannin Throughout the exams Raido exhibited an huge increase in his physical prowess, his strength, speed, and durability was two times greater than any child his age however it appeared Raido had developed a small case of mental instability and had not yet grown accustom to power now coursing through his young body. Orochimaru deducted from this that while Raido showed great promise in his spiritual energy his body needed more time to adjust and grow and possibly go through puberty. Impressed with Raido's desire to live and his new abilities but disappointed in the lack and inabilities of the child’s ability to produce his clans renowned sharingan. Knowing the teen was impatient with Kabuto's pretense of regaining his memory he needed to ensure the boy the next test would work. Which he managed to do alongside Kabuto place the boy in suspended animation again. Conducted a third procedure which unknown to Kabuto due to the rise of the Fourth Shinobi War was a success. Kabuto left the lab and headed out to make preparation for war and never returned to Project: Rebirth.

From Warring Demon To Dark Slayer
During the field testing phases of Project:Rebirth, Orochimaru made all his experiments fight to ensure that he was aware of who was entitled of being called the strongest. They were each placed under the impression the winner would win their freedom from him and the losers would simply die during these trials. This of course was a lie Orochimaru held these games to weed out the weak experiments so he no longer had to waste his time on them. His plan was to use field data as a means to measure which was worth progressing forward with his work and which were to be abandoned. With their lives on the line and freedom just outside their grasp the experiments fought each other savagely, and brutally. Whether it was underhanded tactics, or their weird abilities given to them by Orochimaru each fought like their life depended on it, when ironically it did. Raido as Project: Rebirth was no different as he was given the same task as the rest to fight and gain freedom or be killed and forgotten. He faced other children, adults, prisoners, animals, genetic spliced creatures, failed curse mark experiments, and often time fought them in less than ideal conditions. Fighting in the dark grimy atmosphere of the Hideout and special stages Orochimaru build for them to carry out these order in. It was in these battles for survival among the surviving experiments who also won their challenges and Orochimaru and Kabuto that Raido earned both of his monikers. The first the being Dark Slayer, which Kabuto christened after observing how Raido used the poor visibility conditions to stalk his prey and slay them in darkness without even allowing them to scream in pain. Which ended up with Raido being reward with the blade he later improved and called the Yorukaze. Orochimaru dubbed him the Warring Child Demon, and Warring Demon as he got older. In his very first triumph Raido soon learned much like others who survived their freedom was not true freedom. Rather the freedom of the gift of life Orochimaru provided for them to live to see the end of the day. Orochimaru and Kabuto both made it abundantly clear that the only reward was the freedom and right to live to keep being experimented on blatantly stating that if anyone objected he was more than willing to allow them to fight him for their freedom. At first a young Raido was hurt by the prospect he was lied to but made no show of it nor did he have time to. For Raido this was just more of the same he saw over the course of the next ten years, faces changed, names changed but the name of the game didn't. Win and live to see another day or die and be forgotten. The few friend Raido did make he had to cut down and kill which was set up by Orochimaru to keep alliances and friendship from forming. Well aware of the strength in numbers. These acts kept Raido on level ground with everyone believing the rest around him were just associates until their was a target placed on their back. Raido lived under the banner of killing to live and did so to anything that was placed as a direct threat to that. Despite Raido's excellent field testing record and alarming number of people he killed over the span of tens years from a child to teenager. Raido had still yet to unlock the Rinnegan or his clans dojutsu prowess the Sharingan. Causing Orochimaru and Kabuto to both lose interest in the Project:Rebirth and Raido

Rebirth: Irony In a Name
Kabuto picked up where Orochimaru left off making frequents visits to Project: Rebirth to see the progress of the final operation he conducted. After his last visit before he made preparations for joining the war. Though he saw over the teens body has successfully integrated the DNA form Kabuto prepared one final test to see if the boy who now was a teen possessed the potential to unlock the Rinnegan. Though Raido passed the test he once again failed to produce the ocular dojutsu Kabuto was hoping for. Though impressed by the teen's natural abilities such ninjutsu taijutsu and healing power, he was disappointed and using a unique poison to attack the genes of Hashirama he subdued the teen and placed him back in suspended animation within his test tube. With no further time to give toward the project as Kabuto was preparing to make his claim in an upcoming war he left. Kabuto left Project: Rebirth and the lab to never look back abandoning it. Over the course of the next few week the lab began to lose power with no one to take care of it, and with Raido in a coma her was out cold. A voice reached out to him once more. The same voice who was there when he was a child speaking of destiny he was forced to embrace. The voice though it never made it's identity clear coursed power through Raido's body giving him two options. Live and be free, or die and be forgotten.That when he was ready Yama would once again return to him. Within moments of opening his eyes the concentric pattern of the Rinnegan took root in his eyes and with one burst of his chakra used the Deva Path to break free of the Test tube prison he had come to know for longer than he could remember. Finally free, fully reborn and seeing the world around him through the red sclera of his Rinnegan which boosted six tomoe Raido was able to touch freedom. As he rummaged through papers detailing his time in Project: Rebirth he saw the name Raido and learned of his name, and with this new conviction he would create his life. With no last name or history to look back to Raido coined himself Raido X. A man with a past he would never forget, but a future where the World is his. Raido then gathered clothes and left the lab without looking back. He left and headed up North toward the Land of Mountains, where he would make his way toward Yamagakure and start his new lease on life.

The Last Arihant
As he progresses his Rinnegan his understanding an calling began to change. While the blessing of the Rinnegan was forced upon him he indeed became the chosen one and was guided to act in a different manner. Raido was not be hear the calling of a sage, but he was to be the Rinnegans herald destroyer. Raido took thew mantle of the Arihant, and was often referred to as the last Arihant-Vanquisher of enemies. Raido was to seek out and kill certain traits of karma that took root in people that often progressed their dukkha. He was to weaken the container of the soul in order to obtain the soul and send it to Naraka, so that all the excess bad Karma could be burned off. Each kill within the certain dukkha and karma's he hunted would lead him closer to the source known as the unwholesome roots. In order to learn and understand this Raido was trained at the Temizuya Shrine where he learned about the Three Great Poisons. Attachment Aversion and Ignorance. First Raido had to learn to recognize each of the three and be able to distinct learn about what causes them, then able to confront his own plagues of the soul that stem from each of the roots. The training was Six months to a year long as Raido confronted aspects of his past, fears that bred ignorance, hatred that bred attachment, and his lust for combat that created aversion. Then confont the demons of his past for what he had undergone as a child experiment. Raido was able to remove himself from the Dark Slayer persona, and removes himself from the title of the Warring Demon. Raido was once again reborn and Yama bequeathed to him the passive ability to sense dukkha of the souls of all humans. Though imperfect and not nearly on the scale as Yama himself, but able to detect it and the seriousness of it's source. With this rebirth Raido undertook the title as the Last Arihant and set out to destroy all remnants of Karma that was deemed as heretical. This lifestyle often places Raido at odds as he has been known to be both and ally and enemy to multiple people often stating he can be an ally or enemy depending on the circumstance.

Raido began his quest as an Arihant he learned of the gathi Karma he would need to destroy as a way to find the source itself. Following this goal Raido would be able to obtain true understanding and enlightenment, and earn the role and title as a Siddha. As of now Raido's quest for Siddh-hood is still early and he has much to conquer. As an Arihant on this path he is to conquer anger, ego, deception, and greed within himself, and destroy traces of it before focusing on the outer sources.

Personality
Raido X has always been a difficult person to discern due to him always exercising great control over his expressions and emotions. Even as a child he was incredibly flippant and mouth off to anyone. Making a joke out of everyone and everything to better help his mind cope with the lifestyle he was forced to live. Fear to him after a while became a drug to fuel his adrenaline to survive and often had that view of life during his time in Project: Rebirth. During his early days of freedom he was highly observant and wary of people, but kept an extremely calm demeanor having a cooler than ice persona. However It was during these days he often exhibited cases of insomnia as most nights when he slept he would often relive the days he was fighting for his life suffering from PTSD episodes. This caused him to always sleep with his sword or weapons near him to be ready at a seconds notice. He made friends later on but due to his experience had little trust in them believing they would kill him at a minutes notice until later in his life. Early on Raido was extremely oblivious to the advances of women on him, this was noted by Sorahime Nakano, who early on harbored a great crush on him. It wasn't until Sorahime taught him how to read the signs that Raido became aware of how to notice it.

Afterward Raido became extremely bold and has been shown in his pursuit of women he often flirts with using his looks and words to sweep women off their feet. Yet in turn Raido still can be completely dense toward women being that he has no examples of a functional relationship in his life at that point. Raido has adopted a somewhat true neutral lifestyle where he often does what best benefits the situation, claiming he is neither good nor evil. Another predominant trait about him is his lack of seriousness, Raido has often made jokes out of the most bleak situations or circumstances always looking on the brighter side of things, he has become extremely optimistic and recommends people enjoy the finer things in life. Even when on Arihant Missions of the upmost classification and importance, he only appears to be slightly more serious. Yama himself even stated that Raido's own problem is that he plays too damn much which greatly hampers how powerful he could actually be. Looking to have fun and enjoy the fight rather than get in and get out.

Raido has shown to be as skilled master in the art of wordplay and gift of gab. Using complex words and showing how the tongue can be sharper than any blade, frequently outmaneuver enemies with his words alone without ever having to use physical combat as deterrent. Contrary to belief behind Raido's easy going nature is a calculative, shrewd, and extremely cunning man. Often raising the question of whether Raido acts the way he does by design or if that is him naturally. Though he can mouth off he never says more than he has to and always keep a calm but confident demeanor. Always giving off the impression makes it seems like he is prepared or always in control. Raido has also be known to circumvent certain questions that usually deal with anything remotely related with his past. When asked he often beats around the bush and or evasively answers the question. Quickly looking to get around it without raising an alarm to his evasiveness to the question.

Despite his mostly neutral disposition he can be a greatly ally or powerful enemy depending on the situation. However he is always looking got for the next good time, which often comes at the expense of his enemies. He does however keep his word when he gives. He never answers questions directly he instead, talks around them using his gifted power of verbiage to hint the illusion he answered a question he has shown in gathering information as he learned in conversation people inadvertently give out more info than they needed to but don't realize it, something that has made Raido an expert tracker. Raido's antics and propensity for fighting have turned him away from the Path of the Sage. Instead he was taken the mantle as being deemed as the Last Arihant.

Appearance
Raido has been quoted by both his master,friends and other as being a physical specimen, standing at about 199cm (6 ft 5 inches) 253lbs and chiseled muscles that fit his body size. He Towers over most of his peers and enemies, his stature alone often speak volumes of his presence though he moves in confidence rather than violence. As put by Sorahime Nakano Ameyuri Aoki, he has the physique women love in an ideal man. This said Raido's looks and appearance has varied over the years but his overall look only slightly changes. For example Raido has always kept his hair long, and always worn an outfit that consisted of some color of black. His facial expression has always been one of a calm and in control look regardless of the situation, though broken a few times when actually surprised about something he didn't see coming

During Season one after being subjected to the Project: Rebirth Program, Raido appeared much larger and more developed than the average size child, yet still rather slender due to the lack of rations given out to the experiments most days. Around his time Raido's onyx black hair was short and shaggy, and his forehead trademark bang that came from his mother was becoming profound. His outfit was the standard prison outfit that Orochimaru gave out to the experiments, Raido wore the long sleeve version and originally his left arm sleeve was torn off which led to him keep this style over the course of the next few years. His face was often seen as determined and looking forward to something, always wearing the mask he placed to protect himself. Yet in battle he doned the natural dead serious look as he fought, often breaking his gaze when he felt excited or elated in the current situation. As he grew older in the problem his hair grew rapidly and he began sporting his shaggy pony tail and outfit remained the same as he grew taller and bigger.

Once he got free from Project: Rebirth he wore a sleeved jacket vest which he removed the left arm sleeve to, and wore black capoeira pants which he wore a lot during his years training at the dojo, only changing the colors out after huge battles.

After his aforementioned outfit was trashed Raido's choice of clothing changed greatly. This outfit consist of a tight leather jacket with numerous straps that has had the left sleeve removed leaving his arm exposed. Sticking to Raido's normal one sleeve them, reinforced with black combat pants and black boots. He still retains the black gloves he has worn in his previous outfit. He wears a combat reinforced belt. Over top of his leather jacket he wears a combat reinforced Military Suspenders which fit over his shoulders and strap down across his chest. His oldest son Ameryuu Aoki who has taken after his looks greatly is often said to the spitting image of his father.

Abilities
Before his capture by Orochimaru Raido was considered above average by Uchiha standards he exhibited great versatility. At young age Raido showed a great aptitude for understanding and learning. However after multiple years of being subjected to Project:Rebirth and the constant test and procedures that were run on him Raido became far stronger than any child at his age. Orochimaru himself even stated the boy exhibited unnatural increases in speed and strength. Raido's physical energy and vitality skyrocketed from the experiments though he often felt pain early on as he was still adjusting to learning how to contain his new powerful chakra within his body. Orochimaru spliced the DNA of Hashirama Senju and in order to force a evolution of the Rinnegan to produce from his body which failed. Kabuto years later after Orochimaru's fall spliced Madara Uchiha's DNA within him. After Raido greatly excelled beyond all of the challenges that were hand picked by Orochimaru, he even was able to take out full fledged shinobi and managed to kill them per Orochimaru's test requirements. Another reason for his high growth rate was the plethora of challenges Orochimaru placed him during field testing. Raido was made to fight various other experiments in conditions that were warranted to life and death. Should Raido fail he would be killed during the test. Should he win he would be granted the gift of life for yet another day. The conditions of these challenges kept Raido physical prowess sharp and turned him into a powerful killing warrior as only a child.

As he got older his versatility in combat and ability to turn any situation into his favor made him a very sought out man to fight. His battle skills transcended him to the upper echelon of the Ninja world. His rise to fame originated from the fact he would fight and create elaborate tactics along the way, outsmarting his opponents rather than overpowering them when he may have been able to. Due to his great hunger for knowledge and discovering the secrets behind the Rinnegan, he gained access and knowledge of the Naraka Realm to which he could not leave without understanding the cycle of reincarnation. For a time his lack of seriousness was the anchor that held him back but eventually he would become enlightened and unlock the secrets to Rinnegan.

Raido is often dubbed as the greatest adaptive fighter within the shinobi world. Raido is without a doubt extraordinarily powerful but due to his approach to battle Raido has never been seen fighting serious or using his full power. Making it virtually impossible to fully measure how powerful Raido actually is. Due to this his powers often go overestimated or underestimated. Though those who have seen his combat prowess say Raido is far more skilled and powerful than he lets on, and allows his opponents to get a false reading on him on by design. This also causes his enemies to believe that he is not taking them serious or as a joke which more often than not is usually right

Intelligence
Early on it was made apparent that Raido was quite uncultured in his early days after Project:Rebirth. Having spent his entire childhood in a test tube and fighting arena killing to survive. Though he was very much behind in society he quickly adapted to learning how he should act and operate within the world around him. To save face and learn he often watched and learned from other before he carried out doing anything to better integrate himself with modern civilization. Using his incredible surveying skills to learn the best way to approach people and situations and get just what you want.

Often overlooked due to his possession of the Rinnegan fabled for its raw power and ability. Raido has classified himself as more of a architect in battle using his amazing strength and backing it up with clever tactics. Contrary to popular belief Raido relies more on intelligence, agility, and quick wit to protect himself rather than his physical strength. Raido frequently outmaneuvered enemies with his words but would not turn down a battle if he was interested enough. Raido is a skilled tactician and a methodical opponent who often utilizes chaotic battle strategies that appear random. When in fact they were carefully calculated to encourage misconceptions and fallacies of his style of combat showcasing his keen sense of trickery and deception. He often does things by what seems to be a whim but always have a deeper significance to them. His shrewd calculating and intelligent personality often allow him to be three steps ahead of his opponent. With his gifted power of wordplay he often speaks in ways that lead to him always getting just what he is looking for from someone. Raido also shows his ability to improvise well on his feet. As seen in his battle with Sannoto where he intentionally weakened the platform knowing the Sannoto's main attack force used the ground to create itself which would slowly damage the structural platform slowly while he made sure it went down allowing Sannoto to freely use his iron moves at the risk of Raido's balance. In the end this plan paid off as it allowed him to gain victory over his long time hardy Foe. Not outsmarting him but adapting better to the situation around him. His acquisition of the Rinnegan has allowed him to explore and information about the Sage, and his history in its entirety. Allowing him to find treasure the Sage hid from the world.

Raido has more often than not despite his humorous approach to combat has shown that he is alarmingly observant and highly descriptive. In all his prowess it is said that what makes Raido deadly his is keen sense of trickery and deception, often stringing together plans and moves. Learning what his opponents do best and then use it to his advantage against them, or take it away from them completely. His vast experience in the art of designing plans and methods allows him to attack from multiple fronts on the grounds of combat, giving him a multitude of ways he can attack and defend making it very hard to effectively counter his move set, as more often than not Raido has outclassed his opponents rather than overpowering them. Raido has shown great balance in psychological warfare in many of his fights he lets his opponents get to a place of contentment, fighting as if he is on the defensive. Having fought as a child to a teen Raido is very skilled in the art of the MDK. During his years as Project: Rebirth Raido for up to over 15 plus years learned how to easily kill a man or maim him for life in order to live to see the end of the day. Thanks in large part to the sick games of both Kabuto and Orochimaru where Raido was forced to fight other shinobi, test subjects, genetically altered creatures and other sick creatures of creation. Kill after Kill as he survived he became more and more adept to the mantra that he needed to survive, murder death kill. These days living in the darkness of the labs and hideouts made him an adept hunter and learned how to stalk and shadow people and also study them. Then just as easily dismantle them if need be.

Raido is most know for studying his enemy and learn where they are most comfortable allowing his opponent to feel in control,allowing them to create a false sense of security and safety. Raido usually stays on the defense and then turn it into his advantage. Making his opponents strength his strength and their weakness his strength. Raido has studied various aspects of sociology, and has taken into account the actions of humans based on their social behavior in combat, which allows him to make these flawless plans in even the most dangerous of situations.

Ninjutsu
Raido X use of Ninjutsu have varied over the years due to his learning capabilities, even without use of the Sharingan he can quickly configure a jutsu and learn it on its basic level being able to explain the mechanics of it after seeing it 2 times. He in turn mastered a Vast number of techniques, he is also proficient in several nature transformations, due to his possession of the Rinnegan. Early on in Raido's life he while in the Devil Playground Raido learned and mastered his Fire Release to the point he began to cross over and mix it with his Earth Release he gained from the Experiments from the project he was in. This led to him gaining the ability to use and learn the Lava Release. Raido as a child and teen had amazing Yang abilities and a great romanization and harmony for it. During the many battles he found himself in he used that time as a way to practice and hone in how to better use such powerful techniques. At first he could only use two moves Lava Release: Fiery Rock Bullet and Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique which he could use masterfully enough to win fights in the playground using both jutsu. He could easily melt and burn through most enemies defenses and fire the boulders with incredible force that if even if did not kill could cause great concussive damage to a target. After getting his freedom and having more time to properly practice and train, he managed to create a larger pool of moves for himself and increase the amount of molten energy he can create. Some of his more powerful Lava moves can even burn at temperatures that have been seen causing water to evaporate if the water pressure is powerful enough to put out molten material. Raido where Lava is concerned uses mostly Molten Rock with varying degrees of viscosity, and often the pure form which he uses in the form of a laser.

Chakra Quality
Due to the enhancements he faced in the five years being subjected to Project:Rebirth Raido's chakra gives off an irregular feel. Early on his chakra gave the sense of personality as it felt odd, but extremely powerful. His chakra has been known to give off a dominating and overwhelming sense. His life force and vitality has been amplified greatly by Project:Rebirth, which in turn allows his body to handle the power of his Rinnegan in both eyes. His chakra reserves are gargantuan and possess extreme binding power shown with his use of the Chakra Receiver Manifestation ability the Rinnegan grants. When impaled by the rods or even in contact with them Raido can disrupt the targets chakra and take over their body and movements. After undertaking Yama's training regiment of releasing one self of their dukkha and Inner Path teaching Raido's chakra has become significantly stronger. Stemming from the experiments from Project:Rebirth Orochimaru was able to rewrite Raido's DNA to match that of Hashirama's in the attempt to test the data gathered from the stone tablet. Raido inherited Hashirama's regenerative powers. Able to quickly heal most injuries small injuries are often healed instantly. Healing deeper more severe wounds have been know to induce small migraines to Raido while it takes place a issue he has had since he first learned of his ability. The healing is continuous and will automatically heal provided Raido has chakra. In later years after gathering enough power within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path(Six), Raido would later merge with the statue and began to use the Statue for his Inner Path (Six) abilities and the quality of his chakra merged with the statues skyrocketed.



Advanced Physical Prowess
Due to the experiments of the Project: Rebirth program Raido as a child developed accelerated speed, and reflexes, enhanced agility, intensified endurance, advanced physical strength. Forcing his young body to adjust to the enhancements he was forced to undergo These advancements made Raido unnaturally powerful compared to other children of his age and even able to compete with well trained adults and hold his own. As a teen growing into a man who only improved his physical capabilities by surviving and sharpening his skills in the Devils Playground. Years after finally getting free he trained for years in the Capoeira dojo where he lived for a period of time and intensified his stamina and physical conditioning. Capoeira calls for immense endurance training and stamina improval which only helped shaping him into a physical specimen in terms of raw power, speed, endurance and acrobats. Teaching how to master core control and use his center of gravity. A few notable achievements of his unnatural speed showed him dodging thrown projectiles amplified with Chakra Flow techniques, using the evasion principles of Capoeira and the benefits of his enhanced ability. His speed is so advanced and refined that he is capable of performing short dashes faster than the human brain could process appearing mostly that he has vanished and reappeared from thin air. Due to his survival abilities he has learned to maximize the adrenaline levels that course through the bodies flight or fight response. Increasing his reaction time and reflexes in the neede conditions

This agility coped with his raw power and unpredictable style of capoeira makes Raido very dangerous for conventional fights at close range. Raido's power fits that of a man his size but is greatly augmented with his training and experiments. Due to this raw power critical and direct blows can often lead to internal bleeding and rupturing of organs. His incredible strength allows him to easily lift full grown adults off the ground with one hand effortlessly, using this strength he can thrust straight through the chest cavity of a person using his hand as the weapon. This speed and strength allow him to cover great distance in short to medium burst and grants him incredible leaping capabilities, reaching great lengths in both long jump and vertical leaping situations. Which may come as a surprise for a man of his size. Raido's rigorous training methods and conditioning for capoeira, augmented with his bloodline ties to the Uchiha, experimentation and testing that came with Project:Rebirth and the Devil Playground shaped him into a powerful warrior. Raido throughout the years has shown an immense threshold for pain, going as far back as his childhood and time in the playground. During these days fights and battle were expected so he has built a high tolerance to nearly most methods of conventional pain and damage to his body. He would often flinch in excitement, or slight winch in pain depending on the adrenaline coursing through his blood. In his battle with Ameyuri where she managed to severe off his arms Raido was more shocked by the fact he lost an arm rather than the pain that would be associated with a lost limb.

Capoeira
After gaining his freedom and moving toward The Land of Snow Raido was taught the Capoeira by his master who allowed Raido to live at the dojo in exchange for protecting it. At the time Raido had no place to call home. This fighting style to those who have fought Raido claims its similar of a graceful dance. However it's Raido's agility and immense strength that has made him so dangerous with the style that going up against other well known fighting styles and holding his own if not besting others. When his master died Raido promised to carry on the ways of this fighting style and its principles to the one who will become his student one day. Raido has mastered each of the three central styles of capoeira. Capoeira Angola, Capoeira Regional, and Capoeira Contemporânea. Being on the of the first in his main class outside of another to fully master each of the three styles and implement on the fly in combat. His ability to switch among each of the three versions of the sway or ginga move set allows Raido to constantly stay in motion as well as maintain his immensely powerful physical condition.

This fighting style allows Raido to attack forcefully with fluid motion to which has been described as poetry in motion which is why he has such great success in fighting large groups of people and why he loves taijutsu. He is a grand master of this fighting style as he moves with us such grace that often times those watching are captivated by the simple acrobatics of the flips and kicks of cartwheels he dishes out. This is also the reason so those who fought Raido in taijutsu have often had hard times landing attacks on Raido as he always moving and evading that its hard to pinpoint his moves or center of gravity to strike him even. When making use the Rinnegan and its abilities of the Six Paths, Raido can implement some deadly combinations in unorthodox methods. Perhaps his most dangerous is when it is used in conjuncture with his Human Path and Naraka Path abilities. Using the human Path he can grab an opponents souls and attempt to rip it from their body, and using Naraka he can use the powers to immediately interrogate or feed them to the King of Hell. Other combos are his use of the Forbidden Technique: Gedō Seal which can cause immense pain for anyone who is hit or touched by him especially those with KG abilities. With his series of grapples and holds capoeira can implement he can use the Preta Path and grab his opponent using the barrier to absorb chakra right out of an individual's body, effectively draining them. These combinations given his style of taijutsu given an a large array of option to use to subdue, defeat or even kill opponents.

As Raido progressed in his fighting style Raido added the element of Will Materialisation to create Chakra Receiver Manifestation he has shown the ability to create these from any part of his body he wishes, as shown multiple times where he has created blades from under his sleeves, and from his back. He incorporated this ability with his already lethal Capoeira, which gives Raido a different but deadly dimension in his already well balanced fighting style. His ability to create the blade from any part of his body often wards him from using his more deadly Dark Slayer style, and his trademark blade. When combined with the abilities of the Asura Path which gives him extra extremities his combat abilities in taijutsu triple. His fighting style shifts to a more aggressive form of capoeira where he uses more grabs and holds and even suplexs. The ability of the Chakra Receiver Manifestation allows to manipulate the size, shape and reach of reach rod he summons form his body and uses them in any circumstance be it offensive or defensive. He has shown excellent use of using the weapons was ways to create plans and even ehance and extend his fighting style. His prowess with the rods usually ward him actually using his personalized sword since he feels more inclined to fight with the rods rather than his blade. Speaking volumes to the trust he has in the use of his rods.

When using his Chakra Receiver Manifestation jutsu combined with the Rinnegans ability to see chakra points within the body Raido can become a serious danger to battle in close range. The rods ability to disrupt chakra combined with Raido's vision can allow for for pinpoint strikes which allow him to only disrupt the flow of his opponents chakra but he can also use the rods to shut down the flow of chakra to that affected body part using the rods as a resistor to effectively block the chakra.



Genjutsu
Raido is known as the worlds most adaptive fighter, boasting comprehensive skills that allow him to fight on any battlefield and put a up a significant challenge if not win. However one of his lesser known abilities is his skill in genjutsu. Raido has never even been seen using genjutsu in combat. This comes from Raido's natural disgust in illusions and his lack of practice in casting genjutsu. In all of Raido's training he focused more on combat of the body and spirit. Raido never properly learned how to cast a genjutsu, therefore genjutsu appears to be the one element Raido doesn't features in his combat. Over time Raido under Yama's supervision and training in Naraka has strengthened his mind to become more resistant to genjutsu. Though it did not translate to his ability to caste a genjutsu, however Raido's ability relies on allowing himself to fall prey to an opponents genjutsu and allowing his five senses to be tricked so he can rely on his innate ability to sense dukkha. With Yama's help Raido has become highly proficient in reversing genjutsu and using the one caste on him as a layer to create his own. This came with great practice and skill as each genjutsu attacks a different sense and has a different effect. Raido using the Chakra Receiver Manifestation as his medium can trap opponents within a unique genjutsu that give opponents visions of being trapped in naraka and as long as they are subjected to contact with Raido's blades that can be haunted with these illusions to which Raido can use to gain intel from an individual without the use of the Human Path. However compared to his other skills his ability in genjutsu is far from refined and even Raido himself will admit his skill in casting genjutsu without the use of a medium such as the black rods is trash.

Sensory Skills
Raido due to his training under Yama and in the depths of the Naraka Realm has gained a 6th sense. This unlike most conventional sensory ninja does not sense chakra. It instead senses the Dukkha of an opponent, Dukkha is
 * "Suffering",
 * "Stress",
 * "Anxiety", or
 * "Dissatisfaction".

It comes in 3 patterns and 8 levels, as the higher the level the easier it is to sense the power and anguish of the opponent/person. Due to this Raido has become a renowned tracker and sensor, it is unknown to other as they believe it is the chakra of the person he can sense when in actuality, it is their negative Karma in a sense that Raido is sensing that gives off their locations and distance. Negative karma however unlike chakra, can not be hidden or masked, as it is something that leaks from the soul and essence of a person. This has made it hard for Tsuki no Ai to hide from the prying eyes of Raido, as now he can sense the dukkha of his friend and foes alike. This ability seems to be passive, as whether Raido want to sense them or not he can get a fix on the level of dukkha a person possesses. He can even sense his own. However due to his inexperience with the sensory abilities and lack of time he, unlike Yama can not detect the specific level of suffering, nor identify the person identity just by sensing alone. Which make Yama greatly more advanced at sensing than Raido. Raido has noted that its easy to distinguish certain Kg such as the Sharingan, and the certain clans due to their traditions and history. Since his cleansing by way of the three trials Raido has released himself from the bonds of his own dukkha, and has gained an upper level in terms of classifying dukkha. While he ranks a lot closer to Yama in the sensory department he has yet to surpass him. Three Patterns Also referred to as the suffering of suffering. Includes the sufferings of This outer level of dukkha includes all of the obvious physical suffering or pain associated with
 * Birth,
 * Aging,
 * Sickness,
 * Death,''
 * Coming across what is not desirable.
 * Giving birth,
 * Growing old,
 * Physical illness
 * The process of dying.

This is the first three patterns by which the other eight types fall into place with, it serves as the foundation for the undesirable. Everyone falls victim to a different form of dissatisfaction as found by Raido where he could even sense that even if someone shared the same level their individual suffering was different. Raido is able to sense a persons whereabouts and find their location using this sensing, however unlike Yama he can detect what form and direct level the suffering it on. Its this ability that had made Raido an expert tracker, even when his vision has been obscured, or his opponent is in hiding. He can sense them right away and attack, making Raido very conscious and aware. Making sneaking up on him or getting the drop on him virtually impossible. Even in battle this serves a powerful purpose, as seen against clone based techniques, He can easily tell the difference of a clone and the real one, as clones are made from a persons chakra. Clones do not present a source of dukkha, which makes it easier for Raido to pick them out, from the real person and ignore them. Although he gained this ability once he obtained the Rinnegan the sensing of Dukkha is a passive ability. His Dojutsu does not have to be active to utilize his sensory skills, nor are they amplified or hindered by them being active.

Eight levels
 * Birth-The discomfort of birth and experiencing the world for the first time; and the discomfort of relating to new demands or experiences.


 * Old age-The discomfort involved in the process of aging and growing old, this can apply to psychological as well as physical discomfort of aging.
 * Sickness: the discomfort of physical or psychological illness.


 * Death: includes the pain of separation and not being able to continue on in your endeavors, as well as the physical discomfort of dying.


 * Getting what you don't want: being unable to avoid difficult or painful situations.


 * Not being able to hold onto what is desirable: the pain of trying to hold onto what is desirable, lovely, splendid, terrific.


 * Not getting what you do want: this underlies the previous two categories, the anxiety of not getting what you want.

Raido is not nearly as proficient as Yama in detecting and sorting them out, he has shown the ability to tell the difference, and understand the person dissatisfaction. This sensory ability allows him to get the jump on his positions which has made ambushing Raido nigh impossible. This sensory also allow him to work under conditions even when he is blinded or in the dark.

Dojutsu
What some deem as a blessing or a curse. Raido deems as both each for one eye. Raido was subject to the Project: Rebirth program which was created from a gathered hypothesis. For years this hypothesis did bring other great results, failed in its overall mission. It wasn't until Project: Rebirth and Raido was abandoned and left for dead within the waning powered lab that the evolution took place. Even more worse the evolution was a success, but only partial. While Raido many years later in the final moments of his failing life support did succeed in manifesting the rare red six tomoe Rinnegan, it had only taken place in one of his eyes. His left eye had evolved while his right eye remained unchanged. Much to Raido's chagrin this induced evolution in his left eye could not be deactivated in the same manner as his sharingan as he later found out during his freedom. Though He managed to unlock the rare red Rinnegan it failed to take root in both eyes, giving him a off appearance. This partial success and failure led to Raido coping with his new unnatural look. His right eye which remained unchanged and could activate and deactivate his sharingan was the labeled the cursed eye. This eye was a reminder of suffering, months and years spent as a experiment fighting to live and living to fight. It was a reminder of the past that would always be there to stare and peak at his future. His Rinnegan was his blessed eye. It represented the very project he was named after a true Rebirth one where he had his own freedom, it meant enlightenment, and a life free of the conflict he grew up in. A true new outlook on life.

Rinnegan
Raido inherited the Rinnegan via Project:Rebirth. The project was based on the collected data Orochimaru and Kabuto managed to gain fro the Stone Tablet in the Naka Shrine. Raido early was injected with Hashirama Senju's DNA, and later on Madara Uchiha, which was gathered much later. Thought the first few years of the project Raido exhibited no change or evolution in his visual prowess, and its want until later Madara DNA was added to increase the boys visual prowess when he unlocked it, however the project was a partial success as Raido only unlocked the sharingan in his left eye, leaving his right eye unchanged. This led to Raido having to work twice as hard and improve the power of his Rinnegan and make it just as formidable as someone who wielded two. He even earned and created new abilities of his own. With Orochimaru gone, and Kabuto having left to head out for war after implanting Raido with a portion of Madara's DNA. Over the course of the next few weeks as the lab began to lose power a voice began to reach out to Raido which spoke to him of a destiny he was not meant to be apart of but now he was forced into. Within this destiny Raido would need to learn and learn fast in order to adapt. This voice was Yama who understood the boy was young but he emitted potential that just needed to be refined. Yama bequeathed the powers of the Rinnegan unto the young Raido, who once the concentric pattern took root awoke with a powerful Shinra Tensei. Raido's Rinnegan form the moment he unlocked it was relatively different in appearance. Raido's Rinnegan appeared in in the form of a red sclera and irides with a tomoe design, rather than the trademark purple sclera tomoeless design. Yama deemed to the boy he was no Sage, but rather he would function as the Arihant. His Rinnegan would serve as his sword and shield. His sermon and his verdict. With his Rinnegan differing from most Raido became the vanquisher of enemies for the Samsara destroying souls who sought to disrupt the Samsara.

Raido has the capacity to master all five basic nature transformations, The Rinnegan lets Raido visualize chakra, this including the Tenketsu within the body or, barriers invisible to the normal eye, and the shadows of Limbo: Border Jail Technique. The dōjutsu can also completely decipher the Sage of the Six Paths' tablet which Raido has taken frequents trips to read. Raido has the ability to summon and control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path at whim and has shown great ability to coordinate with the Statues attacks, even sync with its power and place some into his own body. Raido has exhibited excellent use of the Rinnegan's trademark abilities. The Six Paths Technique, which Raido has used in more than just a linear fashion or for combat means. With the Rinnegan Raido can also use Chakra Receiver Manifestation and Will Materialisation creating weapons in which he can manipulate the size and shape by whim and will. Raido can also use and use The Six Paths of Pain technique allowing him to use the extra corpses as extensions of himself, gather and sharing intel and creating coordinated attacks with great precision. The Outer Path grants Raido shared field of vision between the Rinnegan wielder, Yama, the creatures summoned through the Animal Path and reanimated corpses, which all have the user's Rinnegan reflected in their respective eyes. Each of the summons possess the same unique red Rinnegan as Raido and the tomoe as well.

The Rinnegan has allowed allowed him access to the Temizuya Shrine which he now calls home.It was here Raido gained his potent knowledge of the of the Inner Path and even create a whole series of Arts called as the Gedō Arts. This at one point earned him the nickname fourth of the Six Paths, which Raido detested greatly stating there was only one Sage, and there Raido aint it

Raido in his own admission has become one of the most renowned uses of the Rinnegan, gaining the respect of those such as Yama and the spirits of the Six Paths themselves. His mastery of the Six Paths Technique has allowed him to even combine paths to forge new jutsu and create radical offensive and defensive formations in battle, create unorthodox means of utilizing the paths and stretch them beyond the scope of their normal linear uses. His mastery allows him to get the most out of his paths without wasting or over exerting chakra and forcing it into the paths as he release them from his body. In many instances he has been seen integrating weapons systems in his Asura Paths arm cannons, stealing summons from others for his animal path causing him to have control over them via chakra rods. Using the Naraka Path as a way to summon souls from the Naraka Realm and bind them in the bodies of others via chakra rods giving him a degree of control over there. This also help him create his Six Paths of Pain ability should it be needed

Raido also learned the Rinnegan's patented Limbo: Border Jail technique, but has a different concept of applying it. using it for offensive, defensive and supplementary measures. Raido Rather than create shadows within the limbo world instead becomes one and can move around in the world unaffected by most moves within the physical world. Much like the created shadows he can still interact and influence the physical world in his shadow form. However Raido can not remain a shadow longer than five minutes or risk becoming stuck as shadow living in a state of Limbo forever. So he must become tangible back within the physical world at some point within that duration to save himself from becoming stuck. Where Raido employs the move in it's intended function ids when used in conjuncture with his technique Siddha which allows Raido to interact and influence the Naraka Realm.

This jutsu allows Raido to in a sense erase his physical presence or mortal from the physical realm and send his body to the Naraka Realm to assist Yama in his mission and task as an Arihant. It allows Raido access to the Naraka Realm as an Arihant and discard his physical presence from the local time space and then phase back in. This jutsu works hand in hand with the Kamui as Raido created from his knowledge of the jutsu. This moved is combined with Limbo: Border Jail to allow Raido to uses his shadows to interact with the world for an period of time. The duration is about 5 minutes per shadow, and Raido can only create 3 to interact within the world and assist Yama. The shadows allow Raido a immunity from the dementia effects and corroding of the human mind which even he is not safe from as an Arihant. A Arihant is a Siddha who has not died yet, and Raido while has done noble deeds on behalf of the Samsara has not yet completed his work or gained full understanding. Not yet having destroyed the designated Bad karma and locating the sources of Three Poison. Aversion, Attachment and Ignorance. Him using this technique to erase his physical body would be in all right considered heretical and would damage him still as he is a living entity who has not yet passed. The Limbo: Border Jail shadows he interjects Via Limbo allow him to enjoy a small state of immunity and still conduit souls Via Yama, and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path(Six). Despite the many advantages of the jutsu it is not without a drawback. In the world of Limbo Raido can be seen by other Rinnegan users and can be harmed with Six Paths chakra influence while becoming in this shadow form.

Raido in his recent studies of the realms noted that while they were located on the same spiritual planes meaning they could influence one another and have a degree of interaction. Allowing for Raido to align the world of limbo with his Siddha move to create the unique effect of making him an intangible shadow. Raido learned the worlds existed on the same plane just in two separate dimensions. Limbo is considered the Outer rim of the underworld, or Naraka. Raido can use the powers and abilities of the Siddha to transport himself his real body into the world of Limbo or the outer rim, becoming a shadow himself. Allowing him the same degree of invincibility to attacks that aren't under the influence of Six Paths chakra. When Raido is simply trying to trying to transport to Naraka he can as well project his shadows within the world of Limbo and using the Siddha technique carry them over to the Naraka Realm. This mastery of dimensions and transportation among them is but a testament to the prowess Raido wields within the Rinnegan.

Gedō Arts
As a wielder of the Rinnegan, Raido benefits greatly from its abilities. In its own right it allows one to wield the Six Paths Technique, and other various advantages in battle. Raido however after studying in the shrine, created a different style that uses the Rinnegans powers and abilities. Naming it the Gedo Arts, while Raido has yet to fully explain to anyone the motive behind these Arts, it is know that the Rinnegan and impeccable mastery of each of the Six Path is required. Based on Raido's prowess with the Rinnegan the Gedo Arts abilities of covers a considerable distance. From barriers that destroy the Yang abilities of Ninjutsu removing their physical form, or destroying the Kekkei Genkai, or ninjutsu and even dojutsu. As of now Raido study is constantly in pursuit of the study of the Outer Path, and the possibilities are endless. Raido can do great harm to those who stand to him, inflicting career ending moves on shinobi. As his study deepens Raido has created some very unholy variants of these moves under the Gedō Arts title, majority of which he has not revealed. However Raido has broken them down into two aspects of study. While the Gedō Arts is created if implementing and combining each of the Paths strengths, it mostly deals with the creation of jutsu using both the Inner and Outer Paths.

Rinnegan Based Taijutsu
By reputation alone the Rinnegan is fabled for the powers and abilities it grants for its wielder. Giving the them the potential to master each of the 5 basic natures, being able to see the chakra network within the body, the shared vision that comes along with the fabled Outer Path, and most notably the Six Paths Technique. While Raido in terms of understanding the abilities and situations that best benefit each path of the Rinnegan he began to find ways to incorporate and integrate them into a unique style of taijutsu that while lacked the central flash and acrobatics his Capoeira was mostly know for. This style was meant to compensate for the capoeira weakness in fighting in tight space areas. Giving him a highly versatile but potent offense using the paths as a means of enhancing his strikes.


 * Animal Path in close range and summoning a creature on the opponents body to cause them great pain and drop them in close range. Using their body as means to place the summoning seal, and use the creatures for a steady flow of strikes. Using the individual abilities of the summoned animals to allow him to attack from multiple fronts and still have the shared linked vision of the Rinnegan's powers.


 * Asura Path using the various arms, missiles tendrils and blades to create a torrent of chaotic but highly coordinated strikes and blasts of immense concussive force that can keep and opponent on their toes and keep counter attacks low and to a minimum. Also with great concentration he can also use the Asura Path to summon the mechanized armor over anyone he wishes such as his summoned animals since they have the rinnegan and under Raido's influence it is easier for the transfer to be done and take place. Doing so he can recreate the same Six Armed vajra appearance of the Warring Demons and even have the animals use the powers of the Asura path and use the Asura Attack.
 * Hand Cannons
 * Arm Cannons
 * Gatling Gun
 * Shoulder Cannons
 * Chakra Piercing Rounds
 * Chakra Seeking Missiles
 * Lava Rounds
 * Barbed Tendrils
 * Various Blade
 * Concussive Cannons


 * Deva Path, using Shinra Tensei empowered punches and kicks to add additional force to the blows as well as chain attacks and Banshō Ten'in to attract the opponent back for perhaps another chain of attacks or set up for differing techniques. With the repelling aspect he can add additional blunt trauma and concussive forces to an opponents collateral damage, getting optimal use out of the force he can exert, this does not absolve the intervals that are associated with the jutsu, whether the standard 5 seconds or more depending on the exertion of the techniques. The blast can be used to not only empower the strikes at the point of attack, but also be used as a piston to change the speed and velocity of the attacking limb, increasing its impact suddenly.


 * Human Path/Naraka Path grabs which due to the nature of their abilities can be extremely fatal if a person is grabbed or ensnared for either path to begin its special function. The Human Path for the most part is usually a death move if Raido is extrating the soul fulfilling his Arihant obligations. The Naraka Path powered grabs however offer choices which can lead to questions should they lie they will be taken by Yama, if they don't they will be freed by extremely fatigued.


 * Preta Path using grapple moves and trapping your prey in a myriad of hold you could drain chakra from their body since this paths allows you to drain chakra via physical contact, the constant chakra drain could weaken and slow his opponent greatly and limit their list of jutsu options, leaving them on the brink of death by chakra drain alone. Raido has learned how to use the Preta Paths abilities as a long distance as well. Using his chakra rods if they manage to impale a target Raido can use a long range drain on a person via the rod that is disrupting their chakra and use that as a connection back to him to absorb that chakra. This move has proven to be extremely useful fighting nearly all close range fighters, and even some jinchuriki, however vs Sages, and Raido's lack of experience in handling Senjutsu it can be countered.

Sharingan
In The early stages of his time during the Devils Playground Raido succeeded and experienced little emotional conflict as he fought and won most challenges with little no to no difficulty. The drive to win the gift freedom often keeping him focused and his eyes on the prize. As time went forward and he understood this gift of freedom was just just the gift to live to see the end of the day, the emotions he once held back slowly broke through the surface of an exterior he attempted to hide. Afraid to show fear due to what it could cost him Raido became diverted his emotional energy to an exhilaration, or high he was seeking each time he fought. Rather than fear he displayed true elation and lust for living to see the end of the day whether he won or lost these fights had become an adrenaline high which he had begun to enjoy all too well in order to protect what was left of his failing sanity. However his facade was broken during one of the challenges. During a standard match of King of the Hill when Raido had just taken the hill and from an unfortunate victim he was blindsided and hit pretty hard as his vision blurred up the blunt object he was stuck with, even with his intensified endurance a shot to the side of the head in the temple region could affect anyone. The blow to the head took off his edge and the pain set in reminding him of the reality he faced, the fear he hid so shamelessly behind his pride and other facades he put in place to protect himself. Like the opening of a flood gate what if's, doubts and personal failures seeped into his mind. Losing his life before even knowing what life was outside these walls, regaining his memory and finding out if he ever had a family. Dying before living long enough to earn his freedom and breath air that didn't smell of blood. The emotional confliction aided along side the flickering exhilaration that was trying to return in what he thought would be his final seconds caused a surge of power that was created from his brain and effected his optic nerves led to the evolution of his sharingan. Giving Raido the time he needed to at least protect himself from his fall and throw himself into the corner where he could at least collect himself if but for a second.

This action led to Raido losing the challenge and going the night without food, but he kept his life and was able to make it back under his own power. His healing abilities he gained from the experimentation he suffered cleared up his injuries, but now a new fear plagued him. He knew Orochimaru and Kabuto were trying to induce something dealing with his eyes after hearing them converse so much about some dojutsu. Fearing this new surge he felt near his eyes was what they were looking for he went to great lengths to hide it from both Orochimaru and Kabuto, even moments where it nearly cost him his life. Never relying on them during the rest of his tenure with the Project: Rebirth Program or Devils playground. It wasn't until Raido finally got his freedom some years later that he openly and freely displayed his sharingan and began to actively use the eye in certain battles. Raido benefits greatly from the eyes natural abilities that come with gaining the mature three tomoe form of the sharingan. However where dojutsu is concerned Raido leans on the Rinnegan and its abilities far more than that of his sharingan, using it only for its natural abilities that come with mastering its mature base form. Despite his lefts eyes forced evolution to the Rinnegan his right eye remains unchanged making the progress of his experimentation a partial success. Raido equates his sharingan as the reflection of his past. The suffering, pain misplaced fears and often lies to reflect his true feelings. His sharingan reminds him of his days long past.
