The Ryoshigan is the golden snake eyes. It allows the user to see chakra points, the network, and chakra auras/ties. It's deadly but it's also difficult to master.
It was late when Hotaru got home and Soichi had been really worried about her. A Yakunin had told him that the Otokage had her brought to him for an evaluation but that had been in the morning and the evaluation had ended before lunch. She hadn't returned to her team or home between then and 10:54 pm-the time Hotaru came home. She was battered and exhausted as she came inside and drowsily went through her routine.
She sharpened and polished her weapons and then just went to bed without dinner or a bath. Hotaru just flopped on top of her futon, instantly asleep as soon as her head hit the mattress. She didn't even land on her pillow. Shin and Jin looked at each other then at Hotaru who was sound asleep. What wore out their mistress so badly?
Soichi was wondering the same thing and he left the house to meet with the Otokage to find out. The Otokage was more than happy to see him-it was almost disturbing.
"I know why you're here, Jounin Tomoe." The Otokage replied with a mocking smile behind his face veil. "Your child is quite talented. She beat me at 17 different matches of shogi and 13 of go. I wonder how you taught her to play so well."
"I…I did no such thing. Hotaru was born a strategist. She is the only reason my team has yet to catch hers off guard." Soichi admitted, looking at the floor boards. "How she knows they're coming and who they are has been baffling me for years. She is just too talented."
"Not quite." The Sound Village's champion shinobi responded. "She has potential and has shaped it to amazing lengths. I have taught her the Ryoshigan, as I have taught you. I believe she was mastering it."
M-Mastering the Ryoshigan?! MY little Sweet Pea-with such a dangerous gift?! What was he thinking?! Hotaru could be killed because of this!
