Rinnegan

The Rinnegan (Literally meaning: Saṃsāra Eye) is reputed as the most exalted eyes amongst the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Sharingan. Rinnegan wielders are said to be sent down from the heavens to become either a "God of Creation" who will calm the world's disorder or a "Destroyer" who will reduce everything to nothingness. Rinnegan are characterised by light purple sclerae and irides with a ripple-pattern that spreads over the eyeball.


The Rinnegan grants the wielder a wide range of abilities without any known chakra requirements to keep the eyes active. Certain abilities are only available to the original owner of the Rinnegan, but the possession of even a single transplanted Rinnegan can grant overwhelming power. Rinnegan are able to see chakra, its flow and tenketsu within the body but cannot detect it through obstructions such as smoke bomb. With the Rinnegan, the wielder can master any jutsu as well as all five nature transformations with ease. A Rinnegan user is able to create chakra receivers, into which they can transmit their chakra across long distances. The Rinnegan can also fully decipher the contents of Hagoromo's stone monument. Possessing the Rinnegan grants the user a family of abilities collectively known as the Six Paths Techniques: the gravitational powers of the Deva Path; the menagerie of summons available to the Animal Path; the limitless absorptive potential of the Preta Path; the control over others' souls with the Human Path; the different options of mechanisation of the Asura Path; access to the King of Hell through the Naraka Path. Nagato distributed one of these abilities to each of his Six Paths of Pain — six corpses embedded with chakra receivers. A seventh ability, the Outer Path, is said to allow the user to preside over life and death so that they may revive the dead, summon and control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and manifest chakra chains to bind others. Certain Rinnegan abilities have only been demonstrated by single users: Madara can perform Limbo: Border Jail to create corporeal shadows which are only visible to the Rinnegan; Sasuke's Rinnegan allows him to shift spaces within a certain range of himself.
