1. Please indicate the name for the dōjutsu including the romaji, kanji and the English meaning.


 * Tetsuigan (鉄眼, Lit. Iron Eye)

2. How did this dōjutsu come to existence? What is the background of the dōjutsu?


 * Fifteen hundred years ago, the world was at war. During this war, there was a man, a patriarch of who would become the Ekazu clan. Denkaichi (でんかいち, lit. Legendary expression) was looking for a way to find peace and looked to the energies of the world to help provide for him. Away from the war, isolated from the battleground, Denkaichi began pulling energy from the forests around him, hoping it would grant him some form of power. It did, but in a way he did not expect. He felt a drastic change in his eyes, which in turn began altering the bloodflow of his body, forcing the blood into his extremities. He felt his entire body's strength increase dramatically. Out of shock, he disengaged the power, which nearly ended up killing him. He knew such power was dangerous and tried to make sure no one else could use it. He found a way of a special sealing method that allowed it only to be passed down to his family line, but created a special generation seal that ensured it would only awaken once every five hundred years.

3. Is this dōjutsu individual-only, or does it belong to a clan?


 * The Tetsuigan is exclusive to the Ekazu Clan.

4. Detail the capabilities and abilities of the dōjutsu.


 * When an Ekazu member with the Tetsuigan achieves a peak, physical condition, the main requirement of the Tetsuigan's powers, he or she can utilize it to greatly increase their strength and reflexes. Upon activation, the Tetsuigan's energies begin drawing blood into the extremities, not unlike an adrenaline boost. This in turn increases their speed, strength and reflexes. Those who are adept at the usage of the Tetsuigan may find themselves with faint, cognitive visions, especially when focusing on an opponent.

5. What are the drawbacks and weaknesses of the dōjutsu?


 * Because it requires a peak physical form to utilize, those who have the Tetsuigan often don't find them able to use it until they get old enough to where their bodies can achieve a peak physical form. Utilization of this technique requires the user to push in tremendous amounts of physical energy in their body, which can be difficult for most. This requires a lot of effort on the user's part and can drastically drain the user's chakra by preventing the syncing of spiritual and physical energy. If it's engaged and then disengaged before it can disengage itself naturally, it can drastically reduce the user's chakra levels, to near fatal levels in some extremes. After the usage, the body becomes emaciated and weak due to the body going into a sort of emergency shutdown state to allow blood levels to return to normal.

6. Do you have any techniques planned for the dōjutsu? If so, could you elaborate these below. (Hint: You can write them down like the content for a the technique. It will save you work for later!)


 * I've had a lot of it planned down in the past, but I'll be expanding on it as time passes. Dorutan, the current generation user has combined it with his Sage mode and has unlocked other forms of the Tetsuigan. Over time, I'll look to try and expand on it, and maybe even do a sort of seal breaking to potentially have Heiwa accidentally inherit it due to the generation seal becoming weak due to the passing of time.

7. Please explain how the fanon dōjutsu is unique to its fashion, compared with the Canon dōjutsu. What makes this dōjutsu different than other fan made dōjutsu?


 * When compared to the Sharingan, Byakugan and Rinnegan, the Tetsuigan is a bit more unique in that it doesn't grant the user very special powers. Rather, all it's doing is pulling on natural energy the body already possessed for centuries. Instead of allowing the user to see chakra like the other three, or see tenketsu like the Byakugan, it gives the user cognitive visions and vastly increased physical strength.
