Dōjutsu (瞳術, English TV: Visual Jutsu, literally meaning: Eye Techniques) is the classification for jutsu that revolve around the eyes as a by-product of specific kekkei genkai or kekkei mōra. The term Dojutsu refers to both the eyes themselves and the abilities granted by said eyes. Dōjutsu can be transplanted into others, though use of the dōjutsu is typically more limited or taxing for those without a genetic predisposition for it. Certain Dojutsu like the Naibugan of the Sozo Clan cannot be transplanted into a non-Sozo as they don't possess the connection to the Living Source. While the user's eyes can be overused and dōjutsu can be prevented from being accessed for a period of time, it doesn't mean the user will be exhausted and they can still use other techniques.

Trivia[]
- Masashi Kishimoto has stated that if a Sharingan user and a Byakugan user were to have a child, their offspring would have one Byakugan and one Sharingan.
- It is most common to see a decedents of multiple clans that possess Dojutsu to have either one of the Dojutsu or one of each eye, though on a select number of case the two Dojutsu fuse and mutate into something unique. An example of this is the Sharingan of Chowa Sozo.
