Sounds... like it's possible. [Even if it wasn't perfect, there was merit to it.]

It's kinda like the Hyuuga byakugan. We're distantly related, I think, or at least the ability is. [He's obviously not completely sure about that, but it sounds right. Some people believe that back home, at least. He shrugs.] It's different than the Hyuuga abilities, but works about the same way. Our eyes change and allow us to perceive things normal people can't. It's a bloodline ability that any ninja would envy.

It isn't really fun to deal with, but sometimes it gives you an edge. I never got to really use it but... [He closed his normal eye, turning his sharingan'd eye on her.] I guess it still looks pretty cool.

But yeah, they expected me to be something special when I was a kid. But I never was.
