How would it be possible...

Hey, how would it be possible to use chakra to see the future, or maybe have a dojutsu that can see the future?

I'm working on a character who is like an Oracle or Banshee, able to see things before they happen using her clan's dojutsu. See how and when people will die, and any events that are going to occur in the future. How would that work? What would be the dynamics behind such a technique?

Don't make Naruto OCs.

Similar to other space/time jutsus

Sharingan provides minor pre-cog. Toad sage gives prophecies.

No it does not. Sharingan grants predictive perception not precognition.

Same diff. We all know what it does. That's just the most commonly used term for it.

You gave it a name even closer to what OP wanted because you used "Predictive"

As usual. The plot to anything won't allow full, un-restricted future seeing. Anti-Climactic much? Plus it'd mess with Neji's fate dilemma etc.

Its not a Dojutsu, but in the first Naruto Shippuden movie the girl in that could see the future. Maybe that could give you some ideas, and maybe somehow incorporate it into a Dojutsu

Guy, it's fiction you made up. However you say it works is how it works.

The role play i'm in isn't a part of the plot. I just need some detailed way to justify my character seeing the future...

You didn't read the OP, did you?

 

[ItsBenito]

you could say you are a descendant of a great sage who had similar future telling shit like the great toad sage. and the dojutsu could be a sharingan but the mangekyos unique power could be to see in the future to a set amount of time... sorry if i sound dumb but im just listing off stuff off the top of my head

No it does not. Sharingan grants predictive perception not precognition.

Or predictive and perceptive precognition. :sdo:

No. The definition of precognition is knowing BEFORE an event takes place. Sharingan must wait for the moment an action starts and then can predict how it will go from there. The key difference is Precog happens before ever actually meeting the event where as Sharingan needs the event to begin before it knows where it ends. A person with Sharingan can't go into a fight knowing the first 3 jutsu his opponent will use(that would be precog) what they can do is react to the jutsu as soon as it begins and use their extreme perceptive abilities to deduce the course of action.

If Sharingan gave precog than Sasuke could have known about Danzo having Sharingan in his arm but he didn't because that's not how Sharingan works.

Say that chakra exists through out time and the eyes allow the user to see bits of information related to each piece of chakra. So the user could find a specific line of chakra and once found can gain pieces of information about the body housing that chakra. If that's not clear it'd be if your character meets character B they can see their chakra and trace it into the future and gather details about what's in store.

That's perfect :sdo: That's all I was looking for.

This is wrong, Sharingan does grant precognition. It may not be expressed in a way that directly accommodates the definition of "precognition", but it definitely does portray a form of precognition. That's how visual precognition works, much different from mental or physical precognition :sdo:

I'll give you it grants an ability similar in effect to precog but it is not equivalent to precog. Sasuke can't use his sharingan to tell him how things will happen until he sees those things in person and even then still not in the same manner precog does. If Sasuke could use his Sharingan to say "Naruto's gonna knock on my door in 2 minutes" then it happens, THAT is precog abilities. If he uses it to predict what hand seals an enemy is going to use based off the twitching of his right hand 3rd fingertip that's not precog because he needed a catalyst to activate his prediction abilities. People can call it what they want, I'm bored of trying to explain the difference right now.
