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

Romaji: Ninchigan

Kanji: 知覚目

Literal English: Perception Eye

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

The Ninchigan is thought to be derived from the Sharingan, due to the similarities between the pattern and abilities. In fact, the Ninchigan came into existence after generations of dilution and genetic alteration. During the Second Shinobi World War, a few Uchiha clan members were disgusted by the war in which they were taking part and deserted their division. They arrived, tired from days of travel, at a small village at the bottom of a massive ravine. However, during the process of attempting to descend the ravine, several of their group lost consciousness and fell to the bottom. When the villagers saw the unconscious bodies they carefully took them in to their homes and nursed them back to health. The Uchiha clan members, once their injuries had healed, settled down in the village and many of them had families. In the present day, the Uchiha clan members are long dead, but their genes still live on. Sometimes their genes appear in individuals more strongly than in others and manifest into the Ninchigan.

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

The Ninchigan belongs to the Yumo Clan but it is able to be transplanted into another individual, though the level of success for the operation is low unless the individual is related in some way to the Yumo clan.

4.Detail the capabilities and abilities of the dōjutsu.

The Ninchigan, as it's name suggests, is centered around detail and perception. The Ninchigan has four stages. In the first stage it allows the user to see chakra as it is being molded. For example, if the opponent was preparing to use a Fire Release technique then the Ninchigan would be able to see that the chakra in the opponents mouth was of the fire nature and would be able to act accordingly. In it's second stage the user is granted a degree of penetrative and infrared vision. In it's third stage it allows the user the abilities to see weak points in objects and structures as well as slight telescopic vision, albeit no where near the range of the Byakugan. In it's final fourth stage it gives the user incredible reaction speed, to the extent that everything seems to be going in slow motion. It is also able to differentiate clones from the original in the final stage.

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

The Ninchigan does use chakra so while it is active it will slowly drain the user's chakra. Some of the Ninchigan's abilities can be fooled with suitable preparation. For example the infrared ability can be confused with a suitable technique. Also the ability to see chakra can be fooled if the user is able to use the technique with enough speed.

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!) If the Ninchigan gets approved I will most likely add a genjutsu for the wielders of this dojutsu to use. I am also considering an ability where the user strikes the weak point of the desired object with chakra and destroys the object. 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? The Ninchigan is different from the other canon dojutsu as it is planned to be more real than other dojutsu, both canon and fanon. I also tried to make it less of a powerful offensive or defensive dojutsu and more of a supplementary, passive dojutsu that would be more of a ability which would give the user abilities that could be used outside of battle, rather than be more powerful but have its uses limited to battle. 8.Optional: Additional Information
