Genshingan

is the powerful dōjutsu kekkei genkai inherited only to the true ruler of the Kusanagi clan. The eye can only be inherited after the ritual kind of coronation made to the suitable candidate of a Kusanagi clan member. However, the eye can also be inherited to one of the clan member after he/she kills the previous bearer of the eye. Legend says that the eye will cease to exist if a non member of the clan kills the bearer the eye. The latest bearer of the Genshingan, Jin Kusanagi has inherited the eye as the bearer after he killed his father.
