hi my 1st post , was wondering if maybe Neji's dead fathers eyes could be related to the six paths ( i think the paths have 2 do with eyes just my opinion) he was was so post to be a very powerful Beyakugan user
Hi 4bdn!
Byakugan, Sharingan and Rinnegan are great eye powers. Neji's father's eyes could be very well comparable to great doujutsus --as my personal opinion. He was a very powerful user of his byakugan, this could be assumed to this point of the storyline. We all know Neji's father was sacrificed for the sake of the clan. Sacrifice - was the path of the Hyuuga clan, not their byakugan.
Now, eye powers are the best among the senses any human possesses.
Humans have 5 sensory types (this is basic):
1. Seeing - this is through the eyes...byakugan is just one great power...may or may not be as powerful compared to the other two. Yet, I think that this sensory power is greatly relying on the user...so, therefore, eye powers depend on the owner of the eyes.
2. Hearing - through the ears...we have encountered normal abilities in the shinobi world, so far there is no one featured with great hearing powers ( I could be mistaken). I know a hero who's had exceptional hearing powers that he uses this sense "to actually see others" -- he is "dare devil" of the marvel superheroes.
3. Tasting - tongue ability.
4. Touching - through skin.
5. Smelling - function of the nose. Here we got plenty of shinobi examples - kakashi, kiba et al.
I got to share another level of sense-type..and you know this. It is what we call "the sixth sense". We refer to it as "premonition" - the power to have an idea or the power to "see" the future. This is typified by "a third eye". This might interest you since you asked about eye powers.
And madara's new masked has this third eye profile - interesting ...right?. But this will need a longer write-up.
Did I mention sixth sense?!! Is it in connection to six paths?!!
Any ideas guys... help us out here...many thanks!!
...and 4bdN, I do believe Jiraiya Sensei is all done for. He died, that is the storyline telling us ... unless there would be a twist somewhere in the coming chapters. I'm sure the pervy sage will reincarnate...something kishi has up on his sleeves to surprise us.
Until then
