A/N: After the bullet hell of last chapter, there's a bit of a breather (sorta) chapter coming up, but before that, here's some illuminating data on the most recognizable gen-mod... the Sharingan.

Serum-202, or the 'Sharingan' is an ocular re-adjustment genetic modification, enhancing visual acuity of the subject beyond normal means, and beyond even that of the Byakugan. It requires significant overhaul of basic genomic expression. Most attempts to implant the modification result in juvenile development of cataracts and (usually) a discarded specimen.
Success outside of the Uchiha family is rare. Despite ongoing investigations, it is unknown why the Uchiha have an astronomically higher acceptance rate of Serum-202. Current theories point to a mutation in their founder's DNA, primarily in the epigenetic expression mechanics for visual development.
Users experience vastly improved visual acuity, noticing and processing (on average) 321.6% more visual data than their non-enhanced counterparts. Only geographical features and the curvature of the planetary bodies limit user's sight distance.
Every user suffers from frequent headaches due to the flood of information to their occipital lobe. Attempts have been made to alleviate stress via additional augmentation of Brodmann Area 72, but so far, tests are inconclusive. Serum 289 (the current version of 202) succeeds in augmentation, but leaves the brain malformed and under-developed, rendering it useless.
A/N: Huh. Any theories as to what's going on with the sharingan?
Let me know!
