'''Ever since I did the artwork of Kisui with the Rinnegan, it kept bumping me in the head on how he would actually stand out with the Rinnegan. Whether or not this gets approved, it's partially an idea that's been creeping in my mind all night last night and felt at least compelled to tell the ideas I had.''' Kisui Iyoku, of the Iyoku clan. I am not sure if what I will put in the next question could be considered a canon requirement, so I'll go ahead and describe the awakening as best as I can. '''Kisui will no doubt awaken it through the Samsara's method of reincarnation. Being a distant reincarnation of Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, the theory of Samsara's dealings with reincarnation would no doubt hold with this. As reincarnation goes from one individual to another, their memories of the original inhabitant's past would obviously be faded into either nothingness or as dreams. But through the reincarnation cycle, the energy of the original inhabitant is still passed on to the future reincarnations, giving them a part of that original inhabitant.'''
 * Is there any particular reason that you, the author, want to achieve the Rinnegan? (Heads up; this is an optional question)
 * What is the name of the character? And will the character belong to any clan?
 * Will you abide to the Canon requirements? If so, please elaborate below how the character has achieved these requirements. (If this does not apply to you, skip to question 4 and continue with question 5)
 * Will the character awaken it through the terms of Samsara and Buddhism? Or does the character awaken it through different theories? Please detail your answer so detailed as possible.

'''Over time, Kisui's dormant, reincarnated energy slowly began to surface every time he achieved Sage mode. Since the energy within one's body is considered natural energy, the gathering of more natural energy pushed this reincarnated energy outwards into his body. Each and every time he went into Sage mode, the reincarnated energy began to grow stronger, not only causing the energy to surface, but also bringing about subtle changes to Kisui's physical appearance. Eventually, he began to look more and more like a younger Hagoromo. The only thing that didn't change was his hair color, which remained black, while the Sage's hair was a light red. With another Sage mode active, Kisui felt something much more different; something he never felt before in his life. He felt an ancient power, one that transgressed through the ages. In his Sage mode, the Rinnegan awoken, his eyes taking on the familiar concentric circles, the striking hues of purple that adorned them. Through the Rinnegan, he felt the memories, the experiences of the Sage of Six Paths. More importantly, he felt like he had a newfound vision of peace.''' '''Kisui had rather simple, if somewhat unique, beginnings in Kumogakure. He was the smartest student in the academy, graduating at a very young age. All his life, he felt the urge to travel the world, see what happened outside the walls of the village. Most of this was met with disappointment early on in his life, witnessing the political strife going on in the world with the missions he partook in. The second spirit within his body, an entity that entered his body during a mission to go through Kumogakure's tombs to investigate reports of a haunting, helped in what few ways he could to have him see the bright side. It wasn't until he met a girl who taught him that the path of peace is a simple, but difficult one, did he find his calling in life. Every night, as he slept, he saw visions; Visions of a young man with pale red hair and striking eyes showing the world the concept of Ninshuu. Every time he dreamed of it, he dreamed he was that man. They were dreams that he witnessed all his life, but couldn't put them into words. Every dream was of him as the same man, doing all sorts of different things, things not even the ancient spirit within him could put into words.'''
 * What is the background of the character? How does it support the awakening of the Rinnegan?

'''When he fled to Sunagakure after Kumogakure placed a large bounty on his head for leaving the village with a powerful technique, he consulted the Sage of the Sands, Anubis, to teach him Sage mode. After several months of meditation, he began to learn that the man in his dreams was Hagoromo Ootsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths. He spoke to Anubis about these dreams, wondering why they filled his sleepful nights. Anubis pondered on this, and came with the theory that those who are reincarnated from someone often have dreams of their past, the things they did. Anubis began to believe the troubled young man who wanted only to relieve himself of his intense negative emotions, may indeed be the reincarnation of Hagoromo himself. Kisui couldn't really find himself to believe it. He didn't consider himself to be important enough to be reincarnated from one of the most powerful individuals in the Shinobi world. Why would he be the reincarnation of Hagoromo when someone even more powerful could have been chosen? The Sage came to the conclusion that reincarnation isn't always a precise path, and that it could be entirely a game of chance. But with Kisui's goals set so firmly with peace, it seems that the reincarnation had brought more than just dreams to the young and new Sennin. Regardless, Kisui still took the conclusions to heart and kept them locked in his mind, believing that maybe, deep down, he is Hagoromo's reincarnation. The first time he went into Sage mode during his training, he definitely felt some sort of ancient energy surfacing into him, almost like it was trying to break free. Only in due time would he learn just how deep this rabbit hole goes...''' '''Having ties to the Weighing of the Heart technique, a technique used to send souls to the underworld, he would be close to the Human path, but also have ties to the Deva path as well. One of his most unique techniques is a rather interesting variant of the Shinra Tensei. The Shinra Tensei, by itself, delivers damage on a drastic, external scale. Kisui's on the other hand, delivers devastating damage on a spiritual scale, literally blowing the victim's soul out of their body if used at full power, sending that soul to the Underworld, while still leaving the body intact. This would fall more in line to Shinra Tensei's more actual translation. Shinra, or Shinrai, can be translated to faith, while Tensei, can be translated into transmigration of souls. His technique would serve to transmigrate souls into the Underworld to have their faith judged by Anubis, sort of combining both Samsara and Egyptian methodology together. Having ties with the Human path, he is capable of reading a person's mind by touching their forehead, learning of their deepest secrets.''' If I do plan to use original techniques, they would follow the Human path, giving spiritual aid to his allies while also delivering spiritual damage with the tandem use of his Deva path. '''Again, whether or not this gets accepted or denied, this serves more as something I wanted to put up to put my ideas into written form. They were ideas crawling in my head all night, and some of them may make no sense at all.'''
