Suddenly I'm imagining Hazo with a stand.

My only problem with 'Mangekyo Iron Nerve' is it's too derivative of the Sharingan. I get it, our bloodline is derived from theirs so it sorta makes sense, but at the bare minimum I'd like for it to have an original name attached to the power up. As much as the very idea of the upgrade owes itself to the existence of it's canon counterpart, I'd still like for it to be as original as we can make it, you know? So starting by ripping off the name makes me instantly want to reject it on an emotional level.

Or in other words, I sympathize with the grumbling about it, @eaglejarl, but it might help if you swap perspectives and make it more your own.

Point makes logical sense But I do like the name Mangekyo Iron Nerve ( I Think Mangekyo/Kaleidoscope a pretty word. Also I kind of like the idea of all the bloodlines, having their own version of a Mangekyo)

Anyways here are some alternate names

Empty nerves

Liquid nerves

Hollow Nerves

Sæhrímnir's Nerves

Andhrímnir's Nerves

(Andhrímnir is the chef of the Norse gods who job is to cook and slay Sæhrímnir an Immortal animal [ No Description given in the original], who is usually depicted as a boar(

Wasn't Mangekyo in Orochimaru's Itachi dossier? I'd be surprised if knowledge of its existence could be suppressed to that degree considering Itachi used it to kill the Uchiha clan...

Only as a description of the effects, and not the name itself.

His physical bloodline has been augmented further by some esoteric procedure, visible as an odd change to the pattern within his eyes. Setting aside the ordinary Sharingan capabilities above, which are strengthened by his augmentations, he has gained a number of new capabilities as a result. He can produce a genjutsu called Tsukuyomi, which applies extreme time dilation to the cognition of himself and the target. He can produce a ninjutsu called Amaterasu, which is undodgeable, unblockable, and inevitably lethal. As an aside, I note that investigating these names would be profitable if you truly wish to learn this world's deepest secrets. Like Pain, he can control Tailed Beasts.
