Ōtsutsuki Cult

This Ōtsutsuki Cult ( 大筒木教 , Ōtsutsuki-kyō ) was a congregation founded and led by Boro from Kara , who over years recruited and manipulated people from all over to join under him as a Saviour spreading the praise of the Ōtsutsuki clan as Gods who will save the world and unite them under the Infinite Tsukuyomi .

## Overview [ ]

According to cultists, during the Fourth Shinobi World War , Boro experienced the miracle of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, leading him to viewing it as a jutsu meant to save people. Making his way to a land, Boro formed a congregation, with its headquarters constructed so Boro could welcome the gods. The structure had a chapel and an auditorium, where Boro gave enlightening sermons. Using a machine in a secret room within the lower levels of the headquarters, Boro created viruses , so he could save people with the vaccine he created. The room also contained a Space-Time Gate . The land where the main headquarters is located is outside the jurisdiction of the Five Great Shinobi Countries , thus preventing them from investigating openly.

Boro would spread his virus under the guise of a plague in towns and villages, before making his presence publicly known and curing them. Many of the believers who joined him had ran away from their homes, and thought of each other as family, as well as viewing Boro as responsible for everything they now had. He taught his congregation that salvation could be achieved through the Infinite Tsukuyomi, framed the Five Great Shinobi Countries as evil for murdering several of those Gods , and that he received an indestructible body from a 'God" he met.

With the goal of gathering potential vessels for Isshiki Ōtsutsuki , Boro chose Kagari and many other believers to be test subjects for experiments under the deception that they will be in service over three years and meet directly with the gods. After leaving, the congregation lost contact with them all over time. A file documented the data from the experiments, with it listing all the subjects as deceased.

After Boro's death, Konoha sent Konohamaru and Sai to investigate the main branch of the cult in hopes of extracting more information on Kara. There, they revealed Boro's death to the cultists, his deception and experimentation on unwitting members. However, the members were so deeply brainwashed that they denied any wrongdoing of their "saviour", and even when Delta arrived to destroy the entire main base of the organisation to disconnect any links back to Kara, they remained in the collapsing building, believing that Boro would save them as they perished. The facility was almost entirely destroyed, and those who survived were left traumatised and mentally broken by the revelations.

Following this, a single secret base on the edge of the Land of Snow remained, known only to a small number of high ranking members of the cult and overseen by Bug , an acquaintance of Code . This particular facility was used to conduct inhumane rituals, human experimentation, and secret Scientific Ninja Tool research and development, as well as the disposal of cyborgs that Jigen deemed a threat to his authority, though Boro secretly kept several alive and hidden there. Code later raided this facility and threatened Bug in order to secure the cooperation of two such cyborgs, Ada and Daemon , and used it as a base of operations for his mission to avenge Isshiki. While investigating Code's network of Claw Marks , Sasuke Uchiha eventually uncovered intel on its location and the identity of its caretaker, surmising that Code was likely using it as his hideout.
