Ōtsutsuki Clan

The **Ōtsutsuki Clan** (大筒木一族, *Ōtsutsuki Ichizoku*) is an ancient clan of horned human-like creatures known as celestial beings (天津人, *amatsubito*), and also described as aliens (宇宙人, *uchūjin*), and revered as equivalent to gods. As a parasitic species, they have spent thousands of years traversing through the cosmos in order to carry out the Ōtsutsuki Will (大筒木の意志, *Ōtsutsuki no Ishi*), a doctrine which dictates that clan members consume the life energy and genetic material of other worlds in order to continuously evolve, with the ultimate goal of attaining godhood.

After the arrival of Kaguya on Earth a millennium ago, the Ōtsutsuki began having a lasting influence on the human population, notably starting the history of shinobi.

## Overview

For countless eons, the Ōtsutsuki Clan has been travelling throughout dimensions seeking out worlds to plant Ten-Tail saplings into. Once planted, they grow into a God Tree with their roots spreading across the planet to siphon chakra and genetic material from all its surroundings and inhabitants, resulting in everything dying and it bearing a large fruit for the Ōtsutsuki to consume in order for them to evolve, gaining power and longevity. Once harvested, as they no longer need the planet, they move to another to repeat the process. In order for the Ten-Tails seeds to bloom into a God Tree, a living Ōtsutsuki must be fed to the beast, hence the clan members travel in pairs, with the lower ranking being the sacrifice, while the other one watches over the fruit's cultivation. However, the Ōtsutsuki to be sacrificed utilise a Kāma to prepare a vessel beforehand in order to resurrect themselves.

## History

Long ago, Shibai, after reviving himself multiple times using the Kāma and undergoing several cycles of evolution, managed to achieve godhood with powers unrivalled. He eventually abandoned his physical body, and ascended to a higher plane of reality.

A millennium ago, Kaguya and Isshiki were chosen to cultivate the God Tree on the planet Earth and harvest its chakra fruit, with Kaguya intended to be the sacrifice to the Ten-Tails sapling. Instead, Kaguya desired to take the chakra fruit for herself, betraying Isshiki in the process whom she left for dead. In desperation, Isshiki used his Sukunahikona to reduce his body's size and infiltrate the body of a monk named Jigen, taking over his body through parasitic means. Meanwhile, Kaguya would slowly developed an attachment for the planet she meant to destroy and even fall in love with a human named Tenji, only to consume the chakra fruit herself and used its godlike power to end the constant war of Earth's human population with the Infinite Tsukuyomi, resulting in world peace and her being initially viewed as a benevolent deity. Foreseeing the consequences of consuming the Chakra fruit against her clan's wishes, she converted the imprisoned victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi into a White Zetsu Army in fear of her clan returning to take her chakra — an act which led to humans viewing her as a demon and the Ōtsutsuki condemning her as a traitor.

In time Kaguya gave birth to twin sons: Hagoromo and Hamura, both of whom were born with chakra of their own. Afterwards, Kaguya eventually found herself ruled by her own desire to possess all chakra, in which made her turn against her own sons. Having devised a plan to absorb their chakra, she integrated with the Earth's God Tree and became the Ten-Tails. The monster terrorised the world until Hagoromo and Hamura sealed it with their Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei, thus creating the Moon. The Ten-Tails' chakra was sealed into Hagoromo while its husk, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, was hidden away and sealed on the Moon, in order to prevent the Ten-Tails' revival. Before being sealed, Kaguya created a parasitic lifeform containing her will, Black Zetsu to find a way to revive her. Leaving leadership of the clan to Hamura, he decreed that the clan would stand guard over the Demonic Statue. Hagoromo and his brother's direct bloodline stayed on Earth, the latter which inherited the Byakugan and became the Hyūga clan, while Hamura migrated the clan to the moon, maintaining order and stability with the power of his Tenseigan.

Believing chakra was a power that linked everything in the world, Hagoromo set out to spread the message to the people of the land, during which his teachings became known as ninshū. Towards the end of his life, he divided his chakra into the nine tailed beasts, his way of ensuring that the Ten-Tails and thus Kaguya would never be reborn. Before he died, he passed over his eldest son, Indra, and entrusted his mission of peace to his youngest son, Asura. Black Zetsu manipulated Indra's jealousy toward Asura, resulting in the two brothers' confrontation being passed on to their descendants by the pair being reincarnated. Having spent the remainder of his life overlooking Earth, Hamura entrusted his Ōtsutsuki clansmen with a celestial degree watching over humanity before his passing. Afterwards, the people of the moon treated Hamura's Tenseigan as a treasure, enshrining it as a religious object and devoting a plan to eternally preserve it with the Byakugan of newborn members taken and put into the vessel to power it.

The millennium that passed involved the Moon's branch family misinterpreting Hamura's celestial decree, leading to them believing he wanted his descendants to destroy Earth in the event the world Hagoromo fashioned lead astray. The main family warred against the branch family over their different interpretations and eventually annihilated the former using the weaponized Tenseigan. On Earth, humans along with the Ōtsutsuki Clan's descendants such as the Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, Hyūga, and Kaguya Clan utilised Indra's invention of ninjutsu to shape the shinobi world.

A thousand years after the Ten-Tails' defeat, the Moon's branch family dwindled to only Toneri, who was aware that the Demonic Statue was stolen and the Ten-Tails was revived during the Fourth Shinobi World War. The event ultimately lead to Kaguya being temporarily revived, but was soon sealed along with Black Zetsu in another dimension by the reincarnations of Asura and Indra. Two years later, as his clan had concluded that Earth's shinobi will destroy the world's peace and order, Toneri deemed Hagoromo's world a failure, and began to act on Hamura's mistranslated celestial decree. Unable to reach an agreement with the Hyūga Clan, Toneri resorted to kidnapping the clan's heir and taking her Byakugan in order to awaken the Tenseigan. The act caught the attention of Konohagakure, leading to the Hanabi Rescue Team discovering his intentions and defeating him. After becoming aware of Hamura's true decree, he vowed to remain in self-imposed exile on the Moon in order to stand vigil over the Earth as a solitary guardian.

Years later during the Seventh Hokage's era, Momoshiki and Kinshiki in another world became aware of the abnormalities in Kaguya's world, prompting them to inform their clan and investigate the situation. They were dispatched by the main family to investigate Kaguya's whereabouts, alongside Urashiki. Although they weren't aware of Kaguya or her chakra's fate, by Urashiki's account, they saw everything including the Byakugan Princess incident on the Moon. They deemed Kaguya a disgrace and traitor for growing an attachment to Earth and taking up arms against their clan. By the time Momoshiki and Kinshiki were defeated, Konoha had discovered four separate Ōtsutsuki clan ruins during their investigation of the clan. Sometime afterwards, Konoha had discovered the clan's time-travelling artefact Karasuki, which Urashiki took in a final bid at stealing the Nine-Tails' chakra from the past, only for him to meet his end.

In the meanwhile, Jigen as Isshiki's vessel managed to acquire a juvenile Ten-Tails, planning to use it together with Kara as a seed for the new God Tree on Earth. Originally, Isshiki was planning to feed himself via Jigen to this Ten-Tails for it to bloom into the God Tree, due to Kaguya's betrayal and sealing leaving him with no other option, despite the resulting Chakra Fruit being much lower quality due to Isshiki's fatal injury; Kawaki was then to serve as the vessel for Isshiki's resurrection. Due to the time limit of Isshiki's current vessel's body degrading and his Kāma not fully extracted into Kawaki, Kara's plans were on a tight schedule, but were allowed more flexibility due to the revelation of Momoshiki obtaining a vessel of his own, Boruto Uzumaki, before dying. Realising Boruto will be revived as Momoshiki, Isshiki shifted his plans to using the boy instead of himself as a sacrifice for the Ten-Tails, which would produce a much more powerful God Tree and Chakra Fruit. Isshiki's plans ultimately ended in failure as he was betrayed by his subordinates Amado Sanzu and Koji Kashin, and Kawaki freeing himself as the vessel, which led to Isshiki's demise. Momoshiki, having taken over much of Boruto's being, saw Isshiki's death as a benefit to him.

Despite Kawaki having lost the Kāma, he still had 80% of its biological data extracted into his body, causing Momoshiki to deem him close to a full Ōtsutsuki, and thus a viable sacrifice for the Ten-Tails. However, Boruto managed to regain control of his own body before Momoshiki could take Kawaki to the beast. Soon after, Isshiki's expiring soul appeared before his loyal servant and failed vessel, Code, and made him use his White Kāma to transform into an Ōtsutsuki and carry on the Ōtsutsuki Will. Code agreed to do so after first getting revenge on those who killed his master.

When Code confronted both Kawaki and Boruto, it resulted in the former attempting to kill the latter in hopes of stopping Momoshiki from returning to life. However, Momoshiki sacrificed the remaining 18% of the Kāma to save Boruto from death, in order to teether his own soul to the world of living at the cost of his resurrection. Therefore, a viable sacrifice for Code.
