It comes from the novel Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise, and the Shippūden anime adapts that story in its final episodes, so it is not part of the original manga. When activated, the user's eyes turn blood red. In the adaptation, Sasuke investigates a wave of explosions and discovers that someone from the Chinoike clan, a bloodline many thought extinct, is behind them. The symbol the archive uses for this eye is an original illustration.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-486","pos":700},{"h":"The Chinoike clan","t":"According to the novel, the Chinoike were mercenaries from the Land of Lightning. Banished over a court intrigue, they were driven by the Uchiha into an isolated valley, Hell Valley, where they survived forgotten by everyone. Over time, internal fighting ended in a massacre that left only En Oyashiro and his daughter Chino. He hid their kinship from the girl and raised her as a bodyguard. In the anime, Chino presents herself as the last of the clan and seeks revenge on the villages using ninja turned into human bombs.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-487","pos":700},{"h":"Genjutsu and iron control","t":"The Ketsuryūgan has two main uses. The first is a powerful genjutsu, comparable to the Sharingan's, activated by gaze or by touch, which lets the user hypnotize people and extract information. The second is manipulating iron-rich liquids, such as blood or the valley's reddish water. To control another person's blood, the user first has to charge it with their own chakra, so they cannot freely control any blood they see. Chino tries it against Sasuke by wounding him, but he beats her with his Sharingan and persuades her to surrender.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-488","pos":700},{"h":"How it compares","t":"The story presents the Ketsuryūgan as an eye on a par with the three great dōjutsu, though its fame is far smaller because the clan vanished from the shinobi world's memory. It is not a red Rinnegan or a Sharingan variant: it is a separate bloodline, with abilities of its own and clear conditions of use. En Oyashiro has it too, though he devotes himself to arms trafficking and gathering children with kekkei genkai. All of this material belongs to the novel and its adaptation, and is best read as such.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-488","pos":700}],"characters":["chino","en-oyashiro"],"related":["chakra","kekkei-genkai"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
