trivia from Parallel COntinuity
Terms to Know:
Imprint-An Imprint is the echo of the Oracle’s soul. Every time an Oracle attempts a major working, they leave an Imprint in the Collective. Over time, multiple Imprints from a single Oracle merge together because they are shadows of the same soul. Imprints can assist an Oracle in a major working if the Oracle taps the Collective. The story of an Imprint can be read by any Kazama so long as they have a strong enough gift of Insight.
Collective-A Collective is a secondary world, one that is purely spiritual and mental, in which the Imprints of previous Oracles reside. The Collective is basically a spiritual library that can be tapped by an Oracle.
Insight-The Insight is a weak and incomplete version of the Yochigan. Based on the amount of spiritual power a Kazama possesses, the Insight can be clear to the point of being actual visions or it can be nothing more than a gut feeling. The stronger the Insight is in a Kazama, the closer they are to gaining the Yochigan, and with it, attaining the Oracle status.
Shadow Sacrifice-A form of Shamanic Sorcery in which a person becomes a living scapegoat doll to take upon themselves the ill fortune that would befall their charges. It is the Bloodline Limit of the Magami Clan.
Parallels-The Imprints of pre-Parallel and Parallel (the story) Naruto. They are still two separate Imprints because the respective personalities were so different in both times.
Twin Mind-The Haruno family are distant extensions of the Magami Clan. Their Twin Mind Blood Limit is a rough copy of the Magami Clan’s Spirit Voice ability. The Twin Mind is basically a copy of the original mind that is the idealized version of the original mind, or is formed from repressed traits. It provides a Haruno with marginal protection from the Yamanaka Clan’s mind techniques and also provides them with immunity against the Magami Clan’s Spirit Voice Techniques. Because a bearer of the Twin Minds basically has two minds, their initial ability with chakra control and concentration and memory are doubled.
Yochigan-The Prediction Eye is the bloodline limit of the Kazama Clan. The Yochigan is commonly called the All Seeing Eye, though it is a moniker more often associated with the Byakugan.
Spirit Voice-The Spirit Voice technique can be considered a low level compulsion genjutsu. One synchronizes one’s chakra with that of the target, then imbues the voice with the synchronized chakra as you give the command or advice. The Spirit Voice is a Magami Clan technique that can be used by non-Magami as is indicated in the few times that it’s used by an Oracle.
Shinigami Eyes-A Magami has the ability to see spirits of the deceased. Naruto’s ability to see the dead is enhanced by the Kazama Clan’s innate cognitive abilities, and augmented by the Kyuubi’s own spiritual awareness.
