Granted, as Myst pointed out- flipper children with super amazing eyes are still... flipper children.<br/><br/>Long story short, Tashi's balls might as well be an epic-level artifact to the clan. I'm not sure how they'd react as far as giving him too much autonomy... In fact, I would imagine they<strong>loathe</strong>the idea of him being closer to the Daimyo then them. He is, after all,<em>their</em>golden child.<br/><br/>It would explain his lower level, the Clan trying to shield him from danger so much that he doesn't really develop to his full potential.<br/><br/>But yeah, again as Myst said- True Red Eyes could just be a random mutation, completely unrelated to his parents or siblings.
