The Busshōgan (物象眼, Literally meaning: Natural Phenomenon Eye) is the influential dōjutsu used by the Raika Clan. While it is unknown who first bore the eye, it can be assumed that this primogenitor of this bloodline was also the ancestor of the Raika Clan. Exceptionally rare, only Okuyuki Raika utilizes this legendary dōjutsu presently. However, that may soon change with the incoming generation of shinobi, most notably his children, who possesses similar levels of chakra potency and quantity. The eye itself shares little to no genetics with the Byakugan, Rinnegan or Sharingan, leading some to believe it may have existed before the Ōtsutsuki arrived on Earth. As such, the dōjutsu could be older than the shinobi world it inhabits.
Background & Appearance[]
As previously stated, the eye itself is very old, possibly existing long before the current timeline, and is rumored to have been in existence at the time of Kaguya's arrival. The eye itself is considerably influential, and is thought to be the reason for the Raika's existence, with the first bearer of the eye organizing several people they met into a clan he or she led. It is later discovered through oral traditions that the first person to attain this eye originally wielded it as a Kekkei Mōra, hinting at its prestige. The eye itself appears as a storm gray eye, with traces of silver in the center as well as a silver pupil that is almost non-discernible in its appearance.
Abilities[]
The abilities of the dōjutsu are split into three separate categories, as derived by Okuyuki when learning more of the eye he wields. First is premonition; through the active use of the eye, he can predict future weather and natural phenomena in real time, as well as assess the scope of the upcoming event and the damage it'll wrought. The ability to do so is based on seeing the patterns and formations of the climate; unsettled winds before the storm arrives, clouds before they are born, moisture rising into the sky. In short, the user can deduce the cycles that come into play to make the weather in question possible. Second among the categories is manipulation; one can strengthen or weaken the intensity of existent climate/weather, or alter into another type of weather and/or climate. Granted, the range of influence is limited by the user's chakra reserves and experience with the dōjutsu; overextension can lead to burnout and environmental destabilization.
Last is creation; whereas in manipulation one is altering the existing conditions to their heart's content, creation is complete transformation or making of "new weather". In the case of the latter, it's building conditions that otherwise cannot or should not exist. Unsurprisingly, the dangers of chakra burnout and environmental destruction are compounded in the last category, as users commonly fail to take into account the delicate balancing act present in the location, as well as their own limits. In some cases, users have been consumed by the very conditions they created, reduced to rampaging hurricanes and incessant earthquakes. It normally took at least one other user well-versed in the eye to dispel these events, laying the soul at the heart of them to rest. Notably, not all wielders possess each category; after sifting through ancient tablets and oral traditions, it was revealed the eye was once more common. Those who had the last category at that time were powerful shamans who were worshipped, respected, and most importantly feared. It's implied a massacre driven by said fear greatly reduced the number of people who carried the ancestry necessary to awaken the dōjutsu, reducing it to today's rarity.
Trivia[]
- So far only Okuyuki Raika has shown the ability to wield this in a derived Kekkei Genkai. This is the result of him not being the original wielder. Some speculate that a child of his could inherit the dōjutsu as well.
