The Nakiri clan is well known for their "Karma Eye", an eye that can copy any ninjutsu with hand signs and returns them twicefold. Back in the old days, it used to be sought after because of its function--thus the clan attempts to protect their offsprings' eyes by putting a mask on them to delay the eye maturation in hopes that when the children awakens their Gouingan, they would be old enough to fend off for themselves.

Ever since then, Yugen developed his own way of seeing the world, trying to break free from his clan's ancient views and beliefs. This belief was propelled even further when he learned about the current tension between the shinobi's belief and samurai's belief in a history class. He was genuinely confused as to why his parents, two full-fledged shinobi, would not want to try out the new
