are we still here?? XD Thekillman wrote: They aren't seeing all around him. Sage mode allows the user to sense the flow of nature energy and any disturbances in that. Sage eyes are not a technique in itself, it's merely a byproduct. Sorry man! XD. i meant to say: Yes a Sage can sense all around him, yet he CAN’T see it. sage mode eyes are, as you say, not a technique themselves, but merely a byproduct, once again: something esthetical, superficial. . Sharingan allows the user to analyze jutsu with their eyes, cast genjutsu with their eyes, see chakra with their eyes. It's a dojutsu because it has techniques in the eye, which is what Dojutsu means. Byakugan allows 360 vision plus the ability to see Tenketsu, so it's a technique in the eye. Al that supports what I’m saying. You are somehow repeating what I’ve been saying. To be a dojutsu, the jutsu has to be cast by the eye, i.e. molded in it. Toneri had Tenseigan, which he got from a Byakugan, so it's reasonable that he has the Byakugan's vision, so it's a dojutsu. Tenseigan is similar to rinnegan, and it too shows visual techniques as well as physical manifestations. So it's very much a dojutsu. Tenseigan is a dojutsu (itself) just because it inherits Byakugan's vision?? So if a byakugan user, enters sage mode(or any other form that affects how the eyes look), his/her eyes would change appearance while maintaining Byakugan's abilities… would you say it’s a new Dojutsu? Nope. Rinnegan has Animal path which summons stuff, except that regular people can summon stuff too. Ashura allows physical enhancements, but regular people can do the same. Why would Tenseigan suddenly not be a Dojutsu on the same ground? I don’t remember saying that because a certain TYPE of jutsu can be performed by anybody, that same type of jutsu can’t be a dojutsu. Technically every ninja in Naruto can use genjutsu, but not everybody can use Genjutsu: sharingan, tsukuyomi or kotoamatsukami, those are exclusive of sharingan wielders. Most ninjas can use kuchiyose, but Rinnegan summons are exclusive of it. Most ninjas can use Ninjutsu, e.g. Katon, but only MS users can use amaterasu/Enton(an advanced version of fire release). All those dojutsus are somehow special, yet the all fall under one of the main categories.

What is truly special about ‘’tenseigan’’?

Anyhow this is a very subjective thing, just a matter of how you understand what a Dojutsu is and how it originates. It seems that even if our views of the topic are just slightly different we won’t get to agree, and even if we do… it wouldn’t matter.
