During the fight between Itachi-Sasuke and Kabuto Yakushi, we learnt about
[Izanami](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanami) and its origin. Itachi
explained that Izanami was created to counter the effect of
[Izanagi](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanagi) by throwing the illusions of
Izanagi in a loop. We also learnt that Izanagi was a powerful jutsu which was
mostly abused by clansmen. We see in a flashback that there was a war between
clan members where shinobis were fighting with each other and defeating them
with Izanagi. The last survivor was [Naka
Uchiha](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Naka_Uchiha) who was confronted by
another comrade, [Naori Uchiha](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Naori_Uchiha).
She used Izanami on him and was able to help him realize his mistake and made
him accept the fate. Naori broke the cast and she became blind for the rest of
her life.

The question is did she learned a new jutsu just to break Izanagi? Did she
learnt about Izanagi's loophole and created an ultimate jutsu to overcome
Izanagi? Maybe she did, she was seeing everyone abusing Izanagi and so she
created an even more powerful jutsu.

naruto
Was Naori Uchiha the creator of Izanami?


Although never explicitly mentioned here's a possible explanation. Before that
however, there are a couple things to consider.

  * Firstly, the cost/consequence of using either technique leads the caster's sharingan to loose its light immidiately
  * Secondly, Both techniques enable users to change reality. In the case of [Izanagi](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanagi), the illusion is applied onto reality itself. While in the case of [Izanami](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Izanami), the caster is able to put an individual in an almost sentient never ending illusion which becomes the reality of the opponent, continiously, until some trigger is met. (i.e the opponent either changes their ways or is trapped in an eternal loop)

Now the point I'm trying to make here is that I believe that the Izanami is a
variation of the Izanagi which attempts to save a person by creating a
repeating loop of specific events until some criteria is met. Thinking about
it in the broad sense it still classifies as changing reality but only for the
opponent because it will always work regardless of the opponents 5 senses,
even if they know its an illusion.

So yea I believe she is the creator of Izanami, nevertheless, considering the
similarities both have. It seems to me that she creatively used the Izanagi to
such a degree that was completely unthought of (using it to help an individual
change and thus creating a variation of the izanagi to stop the izanagi hence
the izanami).
