The Ohtsutsuki Clan (大筒木一族 — Ōtsutsuki Ichizoku) is the force behind the foundation of the Narutoverse's Shinobi world. However, the creation of Shinobi, or indeed humans being able to use chakra at all, is something that was never intended by these initial Precursors. The Ohtsutsuki Clan's existence on Earth began over a thousand years ago and it is unknown when and where they were born. The enigmatic nature of the clan's existence is so closely guarded that it is to the point that the databook simply describes them being "from another world". In addition to being the ancestors of the Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, Hyuga, and Kaguya clans, who inherited unique abilities that made them powerful forces in the modern world of Naruto, they are also behind the distribution of Chakra to all individuals.

Over a millennium ago the Ohtsutsuki Clan members Isshiki and Kaguya Ohtsutsuki appeared on the Earth with the goal of eventually harvesting the Chakra Fruit produced by the Divine Tree and with it over time devour the life force of the planet to sustain their own immortal lives. When Kaguya Ohtsutsuki arrived, she betrayed Isshiki and left him for dead, and eventually matured the Divine Tree, ate the Chakra Fruit as she had intended to do from the start, and became the first chakra user on Earth (in the process defying her clan by taking all the power for herself). Using the power gained from eating the Chakra Fruit, she cast the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, which would turn everyone into White Zetsus to serve as soldiers for her when her clan would eventually pursue to punish her. She later freed a few humans to make sure they did not get completely wiped out, erased their memories, and had them rebuild society with her as their ruler. She later gave birth to two sons: Hagoromo and Hamura.

The consequences of eating the chakra fruit, however, had soon taken root and took a toll on Kaguya's personality, though it is unclear how benevolent she ever really was. While first worshiped as a goddess, her brutal retribution toward any defiance would over time cause humanity to fear her as a demon. In the anime she is also depicted as having continued to drain the Earth of life via the Divine Tree, periodically sacrificing humans to it as well. The matriarch of the Earth-based Ohtsutsuki clan also developed an obsessive lust for chakra which later culminated in turning her sights on her two sons, whom she discovered had inherited chakra from her. Kaguya, seeking more power (and in the anime responding to them rebelling against her tyrannical methods), fused with the Divine Tree and became the Juubi (the Ten-Tails), rampaging across the land and battling with her twin sons. Oblivious of the true identity of the Juubi being their mother, both Hagoromo and Hamura fought heroically against the Juubi without hesitation. After a long and fierce battle the two trapped it through activating Rikudō — Chibaku Tensei/ Six Paths Chibaku Tensei. The Juubi's body (and presumably Kaguya's soul) was thus sealed into the sealing stone that became the moon, while its chakra was sealed within Hagoromo and later formed into nine sapient parts to avoid the possibility of Juubi resurrecting when Hagoromo died of old age.

Following the end of the battle the twin sons went their separate ways. The younger brother, Hamura, founded a clan he named after his mother's family and led them to the moon where they guarded the remaining shell of the Juubi, which became known as the Gedō Statue. The elder brother, Hagoromo, chose to stay on Earth to spread the teachings of Ninshu, and in turn spread chakra to the rest of the world, believing that keeping the power to himself would only invite his own corruption. Hagoromo would later have sons of his own, and on his deathbed, entrusted the younger with guiding humanity in his teachings.

Beginning with the events of Boruto, full-blooded Ohtsutsuki members — those who came from the same world as Kaguya's — begin threatening Earth as they plan to continue what she failed to do. At present it is unclear why they waited a thousand years to arrive. For more information about them, see this page.

General

Ohtsutsuki Clan as a whole provide examples of:

Ancient Astronauts: In a sense, Kaguya is this to humanity as whole because of her rebelling act against her partner and other Ohtsutsuki. Before her, humans were just mere humans, living in a fictional Feudal Japan. But her coming and eating the chakra fruit, then giving birth to humans who would spread chakra all over the world drastically changed the Fictional Earth's fate in those 1000 years since her coming (to say nothing of her ending existing civilization via the first Infinite Tsukuyomi). The simple existence of chakra has led to major political, social, technological, and philosophical transformations over time. The existence of the Tailed Beasts, the Creation of the Moon, and the simple existence of ninjutsu has changed the world that much.
Amazing Technicolor Population: All full-blooded ones are very pale-skinned.
The Assimilator: A whole clan of this. While implied in the original series, their ways are not detailed until the Boruto manga. As a race they evolve by eating a Chakra Fruit, usually harvested from all the lives of one planet. They dispatch a Ten-Tails on the surface as a Divine Tree seedling, which, once mature, will harvest the lives of the planet to grow a Chakra Fruit until the planet is drained of life. The chakra fruit is then shared among the Ohtsutsuki, granting them great power and nigh immortal lifespans, and then the cycle starts again on another planet. They're Alien Parasites
Batman Can Breathe in Space: Then again, they are originally aliens. After the problem with Kaguya is solved, Hamura and his descendants moved to the Moon to monitor Kaguya's body.
Benevolent Precursors: Hagoromo, Hamura and Ashura can be considered this to not just their lineages, but also to the shinobi world. Indra and Kaguya and the full-blooded clan as a whole, not so much.
Bizarre Alien Biology: Best seen in Kaguya, but other examples are present; with many members having horns, the ability to breathe in space, sprout additional eyes, and a malleable skeletal structure that puts Kimimaro to shame, the Ohtsutsuki clan are right up here.
Body Backup Drive: By using Karma, they can resurrect themselves by hijacking another person's body and turn it into a perfect copy of their previous form.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: All the Ohtsutsuki we've seen thus far seem to operate on this. Their modus operandi is draining worlds of the chakra which would doom said worlds to extinction, but from their perspective, they are simply satiating their hunger. This isn't helped by their less-than-stellar views of humans as inferior creatures.
Clone by Conversion: How the Ohtsutsuki resurrect themselves through Karma. Despite being reformed virtually identical to how they were in their previous body, the Ohtsutsuki also retains all the skills and knowledge from the vessel.
Demonic Possession: By using Karma, they can not only control people, they can also use their bodies in order to resurrect themselves by overwriting the host's genetic data with their own.
Divided We Fall: The civil war between main and branch families of Hamura's lineage eventually ended with the latter victorious. Its victory ultimately amounted to a great loss of life and began the Hamura-descended Ohtsutsuki clan's decline.
Dying Race: By the time Boruto, it’s heavily implied that there are very few, if not no more full blooded Ohtsutsuki left. Indeed, when Isshiki dies he speaks to Code as if there are no other Ohtsutsuki still alive, entrusting him with becoming an Ohtsutsuki and continuing the legacy of their race. It is yet unknown what caused them to dwindle.
The Empath: Ohtsutsuki clan members save Indra specialized in this ability which Hagoromo named Ninshu. Ninshu was the conversion of ones' own Chakra to understand themselves better and others better, to read feelings, etc.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While her words were an anime addition, the behavior of all full blooded Ohtsutsuki seen in the series lends credence to Kaguya's statement that they have no comprehension of love and only understand power. The achieving and keeping of power seems to be the only thing that motivates them (and punishing any who interfere with those activities).
Flight: All full-blooded members of the Ohtsutsuki clan seen so far are able to levitate and fly about at will. How they do this is unclear, but it may be similar to the Earth Style: Lightened Boulder Jutsu used by some of the Tsuchikages which allowed them to essentially remove gravity from themselves or others.
Gone Horribly Right: Hagoromo wanted Chakra to be used for humanity to connect with each other. They did...through fighting. Same with his sons.
Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: While not initially "evil" per se according to databook on Indra " there were embers smoldering within Indra that his father had overlooked. It was the perfect opportunity for a certain sneering darkness."
Horned Humanoid: All full-blooded Ohtsutsuki have at least one horn growing from their heads, and half human ones can possess these as well. Becoming more like an Ohtsutsuki in power or genetics will likewise cause a horn to grow even if the person originally had no Ohtsutsuki blood at all.
A House Divided:
- The Last: Naruto the Movie reveals that the main and branch families descended into infighting. Which goes a long way into explaining why the Hyuuga Clan has a specific function in the Cursed Seal to keep the branch family in line.
- Goes a long way. Boruto reveals that Kaguya actually came to Earth with another member, Isshiki, who had a higher status than her. Because the Ohtsutsuki ritual to grow the Divine Tree requires one of the pair to sacrifice themselves, Kaguya was chosen to do it (and be revived later) as was custom for their clan. But for unknown reasons she instead mortally injured Isshiki. Isshiki survived by transferring his consciousness into Jigen to stay alive. Jigen ended up becoming the future leader of Kara, setting the plot of Boruto in motion.
Human Aliens: The Ohtsutsuki Clan is confirmed to have arrived from another world 1,000 years ago, meaning whatever planet (or dimension) they originate from, it's not Earth. Their biology is similar enough to humans, however, to allow interbreeding; thus was the birth of the Uzumaki, Senju, Uchiha, Hyuuga, and Kaguya clans.
Human Sacrifice: Ohtsutsukis work in pairs because of one them must be fed to a Ten-Tails to complete the Chakra Fruit. Since they have Karma to revive in another body, the sacrifice is usually consensual.
Last Episode, New Character: A very weird case. The Ohtsutsuki play a huge backstory role in the original Naruto manga, but their existence isn't even mentioned until the penultimate arc of the manga. They have more to do in Boruto, where they become the focus of the story.
Outside-Context Problem: The original Ohtsutsuki are literal aliens, as in people who came from either outer space or another dimension, a world that has yet to be shown in the franchise. Earth is merely one of the many worlds/dimensions they have visited in their history of growing and harvesting Divine Trees, draining whatever planet they target into a dead world for the sake of making their own people more powerful and longer lived. Earth seems to have been a notable exception to this system, due to Kaguya's rebellion and the way the humans were later able to spread the power of chakra to each other and thus gain the power to fight back against the Ohtsutsuki. Their existence makes the problems with the ninja world seem petty in comparison, being essentially interdimensional alien parasites that one might more expect from a apocalyptic science fiction story rather than a magical ninja one.
Physical God: This is their ultimate goal. They do this by planting a God Tree seed into a planet. The seed then drains that planet of all life to grow into a fully matured God Tree. A Chakra fruit then grows from the tree that the clan members eat from, granting them god-like abilities capable of mass destruction that make most of the shinobi of earth look like insects in comparison. Kaguya is the most standout example as she chose to have the Chakra fruit for herself rather than sharing it.
Psychic Link: Ninshu, the trademark skill of the Ohtsutsuki Clan, was the better understanding of one another, and it was hoped by Hagoromo that Chakra would be used this way.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: With the exception of Toneri and Hamura, every named Ohtsutsuki has their roots in things from Japanese folklore.
The Right of a Superior Species: Due to their Fantastic Racism towards humans, it's implied that Ohtsutsuki like Momoshiki and Isshiki see their role of draining worlds of their chakra for them to eat as this.
Superior Successor: Like modern day shinobi, the Ohtsutsuki clan once enjoyed continuous improvement and prosperity from generation to generation. In fact, it was specifically fear of this trope, along with a massive ego, which prompted Kaguya to basically tear everything to the ground.
Superpowerful Genetics: The Byakugan, the clan's natural kekkei genkai, was passed down from Kaguya's son Hamura to the Hyuuga clan on Earth and their Ohtsutsuki counterparts on the Moon. Part of her Rinne-Sharingan's power was passed down to her other son Hagoromo in the form of the Rinnegan, and the other part - the Sharingan - became Hagoromo's son Indra's. While not at first obvious, the Kaguya clan are indeed confirmed to be Kaguya's descendants due to possessing Shikotsumyaku, which is a degraded form of her ability to manipulate her skeletal structure. The clan's Shikotsumyaku, however, inherited none of the precise deadliness that her own skills possess, as Obito found out.
Walking Spoiler: The clan is responsible for the entire setting of the series in various ways and they are not mentioned directly till the final arc.
World's Strongest Man: Several of their Clan members are this when compared to the Shinobi of earth and all of them are strong in their own right, but out of all of them, Kaguya stands out as having the most destructive power seen in the series after eating the Chakra Fruit.

Full-Blooded Ohtsutsuki

Kaguya Ohtsutsuki

Voiced by: Mami Koyama (Japanese), Cissy Jones (English)

Debut: Naruto Chapter 679 (Manga), Shippuden Episode 458 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaguyastorm4.png

The originator of chakra on Earth, as a result of eating a chakra fruit from the Divine Tree, and the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, as well as Hamura, the younger twin and the one who went to the Moon. She is also notably the only full blooded female Ohtsutsuki so far seen.

Abusive Precursors: Her sons had noble intentions but were sabotaged at least. She was seemingly this. She was actually somewhat benevolent in her anime-expanded backstory, but having seen war and gaining god-like power caused her to detach herself from humanity.
Adaptation Expansion: The anime gives her more characterization, including more frequent dialogue and a more detailed backstory.
Adapted Out: She's absent in the final iteration of the Naruto: Live Spectacle theater trilogy.
After the End: She caused the Naruto world to experience a downplayed variant of it. By casting the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, she turned most of humanity into food for the Divine Tree, only freeing enough to keep them from going extinct and enabling them to restart a few small societies. Not much is known of humanity before the first Infinite Tsukuyomi but having reduced humanity to only a fragment of its former population and having them settle near where she lived may explain why even a thousand years later the world's civilizations seem geographically near to and similar to each other, as well as why there are never any mentions of societies outside of the ninja nations and samurai existing in the current world. The constant wars and low life expectancy that characterized much of the history of the world Kaguya left behind would further stifle the low starting populations from growing and expanding.
An Arm and a Leg: Naruto cuts off her left arm as a Shut Up, Hannibal! toward Black Zetsu, who was residing in the sleeve. She regenerates the arm almost immediately, while Black Zetsu remains with the original arm, capable of opening up portals and firing bones from it, and ultimately gets thrown up with it as Kaguya is resealed.
And I Must Scream: An immortal goddess trapped in the moon by her sons for possibly millennia with the Ten-Tails' desiccated husk for a body. She briefly regains her body only to be trapped in the same way again, and now she's in another dimension to boot.
Ancient Astronauts: She came to the ninja world from another world before chakra was known on Earth.
Ancient Evil: She was abusive to her subjects more than a thousand years ago and has been sealed since being defeated by her sons.
Animal Motifs: Rabbits. Her horns resemble rabbit ears and before she went insane she was referred to as the Rabbit Goddess. Even her One-Winged Angel form where she transforms into the Ten-Tails resembles a rabbit.
Antagonist Abilities: Via Energy Absorption, she absorbs all the chakra of the Shinobi Alliance, on top of her own massive chakra levels. She's also a Reality Warper capable of bending space and time to place her opponents into near-instant-death scenarios, and her primary form of offense are bones that Make Them Rot.
The Assimilator: Her goal is to collect the chakra from everyone in the world into herself and convert most of them into White Zetsu soldiers under her control, creating an army large enough to combat Momoshiki and Kinshiki and any other members of her clan that could threaten her. The ones who aren't turned into White Zetsus will be enslaved to her will.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: She ends up being the one to kill both Obito and Madara.
Bad with the Bone: Like Kimmimaro, she can manipulate her skeletal structure. Her bones, however, also immediately kill whatever they hit.
Ballistic Bone: She can manipulate her skeletal structure to perform techniques such as firing bone arrows out of the palms of her hands. That, combined with her Portal Network, greatly expands her "Instant Death" Radius. The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku kekkai genkai is a much-weaker descendent of this power.
Battle Aura: She can conjure forth massive chakra arms. She and Naruto went JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on each-other, which she ended up winning, and later on she uses it to completely demolish Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo twice.
Big Bad: The ultimate villain of the story who is responsible for all of the conflict in the series through Black Zetsu. However, she is sealed away for the vast majority of the manga, leaving Obito and Madara to drive the plot in her place. She is only able to be directly involved in the final arc, after Black Zetsu betrays Madara and uses his body to retake her physical form.
Big Bad Ensemble: She's easily the greatest threat in the series, but due to the fact that she's sealed away until the final arc she is overshadowed by more prominent villains such as Obito (the leader of the Akatsuki and is directly responsible for almost everything that happened in the series) and Madara (who caused Obito’s downfall and initiated the Eye of the Moon plan).
Big "WHY?!": Lets one out upon her final defeat.
Kaguya: To think that I... would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra... again! WHY?!
Bishōnen Line: Can be considered this for the Ten-Tails.
Bond Villain Stupidity: It takes Black Zetsu telling her to just kill Naruto for her to actually try, despite seeing his skill level. This is a Justified Trope, since she wanted to absorb his chakra instead. Moreover, she is a goddess, with all the arrogance as this implies. After separating Naruto from Sasuke, she thought nothing could harm her; Black Zetsu, on the other hand, is far more pragmatic.
Breath Weapon: In Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, her Tailed Beast form can spit Tailed Beast Balls.
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: The only reason she doesn't immediately kill her opponents is because she wants to absorb their chakra. In the case of weaker opponents like Sakura and Kakashi, it appears she simply doesn't consider them worth the effort.
Characterization Marches On: Very quickly, considering she isn't around long in chapter count. In the first few chapters that she's introduced, Kaguya is somewhat more talkative, we see more of a personality (such as her complex between motherly love for her sons and hatred toward them for unwittingly sealing her). Also, she was less reliant on Black Zetsu's commands.
Classic Villain: Kaguya encapsulates everything that the entire series describes as the epitome of evil. The series has two main Aesops: believe in others instead of relying on only yourself and for the older generation to know when to let the newer take over. Kaguya, however, was having none of that. Being immortal eliminated any necessity for her to even care about newer generations, let alone surrender or share her power with them. When her sons inherited her power genetically, her response was to try and take them out, thus unleashing horrible calamities upon the world.
Clipped-Wing Angel: She gets forced to transform into the Ten-Tails after Naruto hits her with his Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, but it backfires due to the beasts' chakra being destabilized by the attack and she transforms into an amorphous mass instead. She's still dangerous due to being able to project chakra-draining tentacle-arms. Unusual for this trope, however, is that she changes back to normal of her own accord after absorbing even more chakra as this form proves less than effective.
Combo Platter Powers: She's basically a walking natural disaster.
Complete Immortality: None of the other characters have the power that could even kill her, not even her own two sons, who are also god-like beings themselves. The only way to stop her was to seal her away, preventing her from turning humanity into Zetsus. Assuming it were even possible for her to die, she may well reincarnate as strong as ever just as the tailed beasts can.
Covert Pervert: She acts like she's above human concerns, but when Naruto uses his Sexy Jutsu on her, it actually works. That said, she seems more confused by it then actually falling for it, as she gives a variation of a Flat "What".
Dark Action Girl: Massively downplayed; while she's incredibly powerful and one of Naruto's most challenging foes, she's also a terrible fighter who doesn't know how to use the majority of her powers and mostly relies on her brute strength.
The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: She ate the chakra fruit to become a goddess in order to make a safe world for her sons should her kin arrive. But she began losing her sanity because of her power and she lost sight of her goal, not helped by her sons rebelling against her and not properly explaining herself to them.
Death Glare: Not cute, but the soft face she has when Naruto and Sasuke briefly remind her of her sons could count and the change in her demeanor is noticeable. Then she declares she hates them, making good use of all three of her eyes.
Deconstructed Character Archetype: A massive one of both Conservation of Ninjutsu and Unskilled, but Strong.
Defeating the Undefeatable: Subverted, Hagoromo and Hamura could only seal her at best in the past and once she appears in the present, Naruto and Sasuke never even mention the possibility of coming up with a strategy to defeat her with; immediately deciding to seal away again.
Defector from Decadence: Filler from Shippuden and Boruto heavily implied that she was this to her clan. Having been sent to Earth with Isshiki to scout the planet and drain of its chakra, thus dooming it to extinction, Kaguya instead became attached to humans and betrayed her partner. Unfortunately, her fear of reprisal from her clan and disillusionment from the war-obsessed ways of humanity drove her to cast the Infinite Tsukiyomi.
Despotism Justifies the Means: Her motivation to turn most of the world's human populace into Zetsus seem to be this. Unlike Madara's or Obito's motives, she wanted all the power in the world for herself, or at least this turned into her motivation after her heart died. The anime shows she once possessed the same dream her sons did, but tried to do it all on her own, though even then she was violent and emotionally distant, with her idea of "peace" being far from what her sons desired.
Diabolus ex Nihilo: Kaguya summarized in 3 words. After the story makes it clear that Madara has won and Kaguya appears and fits the description on the trope page to a T. And that was really the only lasting impact of her brief appearance, though it did set up the scene for the long awaited final showdown between Naruto and Sasuke.
Didn't See That Coming: Naruto and Sasuke rush her from either side with the seals. She tries to get to a portal to dimension jump but is thwarted by Sakura of all people dropping down on her from above and hitting her with a normal punch. Giving time for the boys to hit her with the seals.
Disproportionate Retribution: For being born with chakra that she didn't have and daring to oppose her methods, Kaguya turned herself into an Eldritch Abomination and rampaged across the world while trying to eat her sons.
Distracted by the Sexy: During battle she actually turned off her Byakugan to check out Naruto's Sexy Jutsu. She gets distracted by eleven hot naked men long enough for Naruto to successfully land a punch on her.
The Dreaded: Kaguya was originally hailed as a goddess for stopping all wars around the world, but since her tactics involved sheer power and violence and she could cast natural disasters upon her foes she became feared as a demon. It turned out that the demon moniker was a reference to her form as the Ten-Tails.
Energy Absorption: She's capable of draining chakra from jutsu as well as people. Because of this, she can easily No-Sell ordinary jutsu, including the likes of Amaterasu.
Evil Matriarch: Of the dramatic variety. She and her two sons had a falling out over her methods of achieving peace. It came to blows when she grew jealous of the power, they inherited from her and she transformed into a monster to take it back. In the anime-expanded backstory, it's said the falling out was the result of her sons horrified by her sacrificing people to the Divine Tree and rebelling.
Evil Versus Evil: She was in conflict with Momoshiki, whom she feared enough that she tried to make a Zetsu army.
Extra Eyes: Once she eats the chakra fruit, she develops a third eye on her forehead.
Fallen Heroine: The anime makes her a full heroine during her flashbacks with noble intentions and capable of love and friendship to a degree. War traumatized her and she took on the responsibility of the world after losing her friend and having to kill her lover in order to protect her unborn children. Unfortunately, power corrupts and with her experiences, she went insane. Hagoromo confirms that she did use to have good intentions. He's unsure why she committed a Face–Heel Turn but speculates that eating the chakra fruit had something to do with it.
Familiar: Black Zetsu is this to some extent, containing Kaguya's will and orchestrating her resurrection. He hides in her left sleeve, providing pointers and using his power to drain chakra when he gets the chance.
Fatal Flaw:
- Greed. Her need to own everything lead to her being stuck as the Ten-Tails. But her Gluttony is even worse, Kaguya's overindulgence causes her to make many mistakes.
- She also couldn't trust in other people and so like others after her, would try and shoulder the burden of caring for the world herself and thus ate the chakra fruit. This led to pretty much every single disaster.
Fairytale Motifs: She's named after and based on Princess Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, one of the oldest Japanese legends. Her Tailed Beast form and epithet of the Rabbit Goddess also draw inspiration from the Moon Rabbit.
Femme Fatalons: Her nails are shown to be quite long and pointed at the tips.
Final Boss: Kaguya is the ultimate source of evil throughout the entire original series, indirectly responsible for every major villain and serves as the final antagonist of the manga.
Final Boss, New Dimension: She has six, in fact: Genesis (which connects to the other five), lava (how she starts the fight), ice (to freeze Naruto and Sasuke the first time they nearly touch her), sand (throws Sasuke into it to separate him from Naruto), gravity (which even affects her), and acid (which Sakura and Obito unintentionally opened while trying to retrieve Sasuke from the aforementioned sand dimension, but Kaguya never actually uses it herself).
Final-Exam Boss: Naruto requires not only all his newfound tailed beast and Ashura powers, but a lot of call backs to his earliest techniques, to beat her. Specifically the Sexy Jutsu, the first technique we ever saw him use, and Naruto Uzumaki Barrage.
Flat Character: The person she was before she went crazy and tried to kill her sons to take back the chakra they "stole" from her is long gone. Outside of her greed Kaguya has no personality.
- Fortunately, the anime has fleshed her out substantially. Even then, she was The Quiet One and while she did care for the people in her life, she very rarely openly showed it.
- The Sequel would end up adding that she didn't came alone originally, but she decided to betray her fellow comrade before eating the chakra fruit, setting up the scene for more development.
Flat "What": Her reaction to the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. It's more ambiguous in the series itself.
Flash Step: She moves from several meters away from Sakura to right next to her in the time it takes for her to turn around.
Flechette Storm: She can fire her individual hairs as a barrage of needles, which, coupled with her Byakugan, allows her to strike and disrupt people's chakra points from long range.
Foreshadowing: During Madara's fight with Naruto, a mysterious voice tells him to absorb the Divine Tree and when he does, we see a black panel showing a pair of Byakugan and a Rinne Sharingan eye. Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, her grinning silhouette appears to overlook the entire landscape. This foreshadows the fact that she had far more to do with the plot than simply being a Neglectful Precursor.
Forgot About His Powers: She doesn't blow Naruto and Sasuke away with her chakra arms like she did three times before in the battle. Black Zetsu claims that she doesn't have enough time to summon a portal, but she can clearly do so in a split second, and she even considers retreating to the ice dimension. That said, she decides to save energy and just dodge the sealing, only to have Sakura intercept and strike her from above, leaving her unable to do anything while Naruto and Sasuke seal her.
Forgotten Phlebotinum: She apparently has an acid dimension, but the audience only sees it when Sakura and Obito unintentionally open it. May be justified given the example of how she is herself subject to the gravity dimension's effects, and thus it's likely the acid dimension would be dangerous to her as well.
Generic Doomsday Villain: Kaguya has little characterization beyond her stoic nature and being the source of all chakra. Even her motive for turning almost everyone into White Zetsus remains unknown. However, her backstory is revealed in a filler arc (starting with episode 460). Lampshaded by Naruto, who notes that of all the people he'd fought she was the only one who he felt like had no heart at all. The Sage notes that she wasn't always like that, and speculates that it had something to do with her eating the chakra fruit. This is a reference to the actual Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, where Kaguya loses "all of her sadness and compassion for the people of the Earth" before returning to the moon.
God Save Us from the Queen!: She was the ruler of the world for a time, using her power and wisdom to rule and guide humanity. However, over time, their worship gave her an obscene ego and she would no longer tolerate disobedience nor lack of reverence. She was eventually regarded as more of a demon than a queen or a goddess, and she willingly became a literal demon when threats to her power came along. That said, even her "benevolent" phase was something of a lie, as her subjects were ignorant of the fact that they were the few who had been spared the fate she inflicted on the rest of humanity during the first Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Grand Theft Me: Kaguya being the Ten-Tails, uses Black Zetsu to take over Madara's body. It's implied she would have done the same to Obito had he not managed to overpower her will beforehand.
Gravity Master: She has access to a dimension of greatly increased gravity, though she is just as vulnerable to it as her opponents. Combined with her ranged bone attacks, however, that drawback is minor.
Greater-Scope Villain: She's the instigator of everything in the series, and the true identity of the Ten-Tails. Black Zetsu is a manifestation of her will, and caused everything in the series to resurrect her. She gets directly involved as the Final Boss in the last arc, but her lack of prior involvement or even awareness of what is happening while she's sealed away gives Obito and Madara more recognizable claims to the main antagonist role.
Greed: Kaguya wants all chakra for herself, that is her primary motivation.
Green Thumb: She is merged with and can control the Divine Tree, granting her the Wood Release kekkai genkai.
Hair-Raising Hare: Kaguya was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, and her unstable Tailed Beast form resembles a giant three-eyed rabbit with a massive tail studded with the heads of the nine Tailed Beasts and ten hand-tipped tentacles.
Hijacking Cthulhu: It's revealed that she merged with the Divine Tree and became the Ten-Tailed Beast itself, the tree having lacked sapience before this.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Kaguya doomed herself when she gave birth to two sons. They rebelled against her ways, sealed her and gave access to chakra to humans. Said humans had around a millennia to get used to and master chakra usage. By the time she managed to return, there were people at least in theory capable of opposing her.
Humanoid Abomination: She looks superficially human but possesses horns, the Byakugan, a Third Eye combining the Rinnegan and Sharingan, and enough chakra to dwarf the Ten-Tails. Plus, she lived during a time when humans were without chakra and was thus viewed as a Physical God and demon. She also transformed into the Ten-Tails in order to reclaim the chakra she'd passed on to her sons.
It's All About Me: She thinks that all Chakra should belong solely to her. Even her beloved sons were not exempt from her greed.
- Subverted to a degree in the anime. Everything she did, including eating the fruit, was done to protect her sons and home. But war and betrayal led her unable to trust anyone else to do what she thought was needed. Even in the anime though, she was presented as being aloof with humanity and so when war and strife happened, she succumbed to despair and proceeded to become a goddess.
A Lighter Shade of Black: Believe it or not, Boruto retroactively reveals that for all her faults, Kaguya was this compared to the rest of her clan. While Kaguya was a Well-Intentioned Extremist who sought to enslave humanity on the basis of protecting them, her fellow clan members like Momoshiki and Isshiki sought to simply drain Earth of its chakra to satiate their hunger, even though said process would reduce the planet to a desiccated husk devoid of life as they did to countless other planets beforehand.
Light Is Not Good: Just like Jinchuuriki!Obito and Jinchuuriki!Madara before her, she's dressed in a white robe. This does not make her saintly in the slightest.
Like a God to Me: Some revered her as the "Rabbit Goddess" for her power.
Magical Eye: She has the original Byakugan for her regular eyes, and a Third Eye called the Rinne Sharingan, which combines the powers of the Rinnegan and Sharingan.
Make Them Rot: Being struck by her bones has this effect.
The Man Behind the Man: After Madara absorbs the Divine Tree upon direction from a mysterious voice, a blacked-out panel shows a pair of glaring Byakugan and a third eye that looks like a combination of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, and when he activates the Eternal Tsukuyomi a spectral image of her sporting a Slasher Smile can be seen with the moon itself as her Third Eye. This is cemented when Black Zetsu is revealed to be a manifestation of her will, and literally stabs Madara in the back, transfers itself to him, and transforms him into Kaguya herself.
Mana Drain: Her hair can drain chakra, and she can also use Black Zetsu to drain those her hair can't.
The Mistress: In the anime, she was this to the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors. Their relationship led to the birth of her sons Hagomoro and Hamura.
Mook Maker: She used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an army of Zetsu.
Moon Rabbit:
- Named for the moon princess of Shinto legend and has horns that appear like a rabbit's ears on her head. She's revered as the "Rabbit Goddess" by some ages past. Interestingly, she existed before her son created the moon, and was sealed inside the moon as the Ten-Tails.
- Her mutated unstable form resembles a gigantic rabbit with a massive sphere-shaped tail with ten tentacles and the heads of the other tailed beasts attached, fulfilling her namesake.
My Beloved Smother: At least part of her motivation for trying to take back her sons' chakra was because she hated the idea of her boys becoming independent. Naruto calls her out on it. Explored and elaborated in the anime. Everything she did since was to try and protect her children and give them a good world, but her loss of her connection to humanity meant she would never be able to fully understand her sons since they were half-human, good men like their father.
Never My Fault: At least post insanity, the very possibility of her being wrong never once occurs to her. Even when she is beaten, her reaction is simple disbelief at the injustice of her falling to chakras lesser than her own.
Nightmare Face: Sports one when she reaffirms her desire to kill Naruto and Sasuke and consume their chakra. After being presented as a completely in-control Perpetual Frowner, it's a bit jarring to see that she really could be insane.
Nonstandard Character Design: Her ancient noblewoman-esque look, horns and third eye make her stand out from the cast in general, but she especially stands out in comparison to other women in the series; despite having a more classically feminine appearance, she's drawn more sharply and with a colder look about her than other female characters, including other villains.
Not So Stoic: When Naruto uses the Reverse Harem Jutsu, it actually works, distracting her long enough for Naruto to deck her in the jaw and leave her open for an attempt to seal her. It's unknown if the jutsu worked as intended or if she was simply flabbergasted by the ridiculousness of the technique.
Not Worth Killing: She ignores Kakashi and Sakura, instead focusing her efforts on defeating the much stronger Naruto and Sasuke. This attitude ultimately proves fatal, as both Kakashi and Sakura end up being instrumental in her defeat.
Offing the Offspring: She wanted to eat her sons because they had the gall to be born with chakra and tried to rebel against her.
Oh, Crap!: The look on her face when Sakura's punch sets her right up for Naruto and Sasuke to seal her is priceless.
One-Winged Angel:
- When she realized just how much power she'd passed on to her sons, she merged with the Divine Tree and turned into the Ten-Tails to take her chakra back. After having all of her chakra removed, she is transformed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which while vastly weaker than her Ten-Tails form is still powerful enough to No-Sell powerful attacks.
- When she's hit by nine Rasenshurikens, each empowered by one of the nine beasts, she tries to turn into the Juubi but the beasts try to break free, causing her to mutate into a massive fanged rabbit with the Third Eye of the Ten-Tails and the nine beasts' heads protruding from her tail.
Outside-Context Problem: Nobody saw her coming, not even Madara himself, who knew of her but not of her significance. Interestingly, this actually works both ways: She initially mistook Naruto and Sasuke for being her own sons' reincarnations, rather than her grandsons' via Hagoromo. She doesn't appear to be fully up on recent events, which is justified considering she spent most of ninja history as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Completely justified, because Black Zetsu, who is a brilliant enough Chess Master to claim to have orchestrated all of ninja history, deliberately erased almost all records of her to ensure that nobody was prepared to fight her.
Parts Unknown: She came from some distant, unheard of, foreign land. Not even her son knows where she's from as she refused to tell him. Later material would clarify that her clan are dimension travelers that have visited many planets, though it's still unknown just where they originally came from.
Perpetual Frowner: Except for the time she sported a Slasher Smile.
Person of Mass Destruction: She single handedly stopped all wars by herself and was worshipped as a goddess until her insanity became obvious.
Pet the Dog: In the anime, its revealed that she did release some of her prior victims from the Infinite Tsukiyomi so humans wouldn'tgo extinct. Downplayed in that she proceeded to erase their memories of life before her rule, and ruled them with a brutal iron fist.
Physical Goddess: Like her son the Sage of Six Paths, she was incredibly powerful. Unlike him, she was also variously worshipped as a goddess or considered a demon. She was also the only person who had chakra at first, which put her way above the rest of humanity in general. She gained her godly powers by eating the Chakra Fruit from the God Tree making her the first chakra user on earth and has even fought her two sons for many days and nights until she was sealed, during the final battle against Team 7, it was stated she can destroy and recreate entire dimensions.
Plant Person: She could use a kekkei mora version of Nativity of a World of Trees to create massive roots linked to the Divine Tree that assimilate people, and can force the Divine Tree to revert to Ten-Tails form to fight for her before eventually merged into it.
Power Floats: Like Obito and Madara. Unlike them, she seems to prefer floating over standing. We've never managed to see her legs because of this.
Power of the Storm: In a flashback she's shown causing a massive thunderstorm, possibly with Tenpenchii.
Prehensile Hair: Not only is it prehensile, it can drain chakra. Naruto and Sasuke avoid this fate thanks to the powers they got from the Sage.
The Quiet One: The majority of her dialogue consists of her making brief statements to other characters, and she only once acknowledges a question she receives. Even back in the ancient times shown in the anime, she maintained an aloofness to everyone, including her lover and her handmaiden, the two people closest to her before she became a mother. This in turn shows that she is a Human Alien as well as her lack of true connection with humanity.
Readings Are Off the Scale: Naruto, who had previously confirmed that it was pointless to attempt to measure the Ten-Tails' chakra levels due to it being, quite simply, immeAshurable states that her chakra levels are even greater than the Ten-Tails.
Reality Warper: Kakashi compares her manipulation of dimensions with Genjutsu but they are all real. Thankfully for the heroes, she's too occupied with the idea of absorbing their chakra to even think of simply blinking them out of existence.
Red Baron: She was either worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, or feared as the Ten-Tails Demon.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: She is named after the moon princess of Shinto legend, Kaguya. One of her monikers was even Rabbit Goddess.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Her sons sealed her away a long time ago in a sealing stone that became known as the Moon. Naruto and Sasuke manage to do the same in the present, this time throwing Black Zetsu in with her to make sure her munitions are thwarted for good. And this time she's sealed in a can within an even bigger can; her own dimension which very few beings aside from herself can access.
She Who Fights Monsters: She ended all the wars that plagued her world. But the power and her paranoia of being visited by her vengeful kinsmen corrupted her. In a literal example, she became the Ten-Tails Eldritch Abomination after merging into it and ends up as the Gedo Statue, unable to return to human form until the Ten-Tails is fully revived.
Shock and Awe: She's been shown to bring down lightning storms in a flashback.
Shrouded in Myth: Subverted, as nobody knows about her; the first one to mention her name was Madara halfway through the War arc. She was deliberately erased from the history books as part of Black Zetsu's Gambit Roulette and what little is known about her comes from the Uchiha stone tablet, which was "edited" by Black Zetsu. Not even her son knows everything about her.
Slasher Smile: Her silhouette sports one as she ominously overlooks the landscape once Madara activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This particularly stands out, as she's otherwise a Perpetual Frowner.
Spikes of Doom: Bone spikes jut out of her when she uses her Dead Bone Pulse techniques.
The Starscream: According to Amado, Kaguya was meant to be fed to the Ten-Tails while the higher-ranking Isshiki watches over the tree's growth. However, she betrayed and severely injured Isshiki before that can happen. Fearing retaliation, she began creating the White Zetsu army and merged with the Divine Tree to make it an extension of her will before becoming the Ten-Tails.
Story-Breaker Power: The only reason the manga didn't end with her resurrection is because she needs Naruto and Sasuke's chakra.
Summon Magic: She has six personal dimensions she can either summon or teleport to at will. The ones shown so far include a volcano, a glacier, a desert, a sea of acid, and a tundra which serves as the Hub Level for the other five. This allows her to either completely change the environment on a whim, or dodge attacks by moving between dimensions. She can also pull her opponents into different dimensions to keep them from coordinating, though this requires she directly force them into a portal.
Superpower Lottery: Being the source of all chakra on Earth, and having absorbed the chakra power of every shinobi living, she's easily the most powerful being in the Naruto universe. She's got the Rinne-Sharingan, the Byakugan, the original chakra from the Divine Tree's fruit plus the combined chakra of basically the entire Shinobi Alliance and being the Juubi, she has all Tailed Beast abilities and those of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Weather Manipulation powers, Senjutsu attacks, Summon Magic so powerful it's just one step away from reality warping, extremely versatile space-time Jutsu comprising of instant, untraceable teleportation and the ability to open portals at will and use them for long range attacks, a Battle Aura even better than Naruto's and just as versatile, has One-Hit Kill bone attacks and the power to create and destroy entire dimensions. All of her techniques and powers are so far above normal ninjutsu and even kekkai genkai - even her Byakugan and bone manipulation, which other characters in the series have possessed - that they're considered unique and referred to as kekkai mora. None of the techniques she uses require her to weave hand signs either.
Thinking Up Portals: She can open and move through portals.
Third Eye: She has the Rinne Sharingan, which as its name suggests has the combined powers of both a Rinnegan and Sharingan, and enables her to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
This Cannot Be!: Her reaction to Naruto and Sasuke managing to reseal her and purge the Tailed Beasts and Madara from her body.
Thought-Controlled Power: Her powers do not require hand seals nor does she need to call her attacks, nor is there any channeling time for any of her abilities.
Transformation of the Possessed: When she steals Madara's body, she converts it into her own form.
Unskilled, but Strong: She's the most powerful being in the entire Ninja world, able to create dimensions and manipulate reality on a scale nobody can come close to, has several overpowered abilities that could have easily killed the heroes, and she has the most Chakra of any living being in existence, with Team 7 having to pull out all the stops to seal her, not kill her. However, Kaguya seemingly has little real combat training whatsoever, merely relying on her overwhelming power to try and kill Team 7, or listening to Black Zetsu for instructions. As a result, despite her godly power, the heroes are able to seal her away and stop her.
Unstable Powered Woman: There are a lot of conflicting stories and ideas about exactly what type of person she was beforehand, but it's generally believed that she was a caring person until absolute power went to her head. She comes from a race of "celestial beings" that travel to planets in search of a "Divine Tree", an alien plant form that lands on a planet and drains its inhabitants of their blood and life force. The fruit from the tree grants those who eat it a power that comes to be called "chakra". Originally, she and another relative came to take the fruit for the benefit of their clan, but she decided to protect the Earth and its inhabitants instead, eventually falling in love with a human emperor and becoming his concubine. While she was pregnant, an invasion from another nation led to the death of her friend and attendant, and Kaguya lost all faith in humanity, decided to eat the fruit, and create peace by force. She became worshipped as a goddess, and this eventually went to her head, where she became so power-hungry that when her sons manifested the ability to use chakra, she tried to take it back under the belief that chakra should belong to her alone.
Villainous Breakdown: A brief one after Naruto and Sasuke manage to seal her for good. She also loses it when the Tailed Beasts try to escape from her.
Villainous Glutton: In a sense. After they survive the volcano, the only reason she doesn't straight up kill Naruto and Sasuke is because she thirsts for their chakra.
Vomit Indiscretion Shot: As she's being sealed away again, her rabbit-monster head pukes up Madara's body.
Walking Spoiler: Her entire existence is this.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: She came to Earth in an attempt to gain the power to fight against her clan, and to establish peace and love with humans. However, after experiencing war and losing her handmaiden at the hands of her own lover, she cracks and becomes a totalitarian after consuming the chakra fruit; any desire for peace she had gone.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Even after she's sealed again, the manga gives vague details about her backstory or motives at best. Even her own son admits that he doesn't know much about her as she refused to say much of herself even to him. The sequel explains how she came to this world while the anime reveals she became a concubine and lover to a region's emperor (who would father her children) along with her friend and the events that forced her to eat the fruit.
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: According to one of her sons, the Sage, this is what happened to her. She initially used her power to pacify conflict through brute force, and with time, it got worse as she would kill any who opposed her. The The anime expands on what motivated her ideals prior to eating the fruit. Upon eating the fruit her sanity descended so far that she also made most of humanity into Empty Shells to serve as her soldiers to use against her kinsmen should they come to her world. It got much worse when she realized parts of her chakra had passed on to her sons, who opposed her and forced her to merging into the Ten-Tails in an attempt to take back her chakra by force.
Wizards from Outer Space: She's the origin of chakra in the entire Naruto world who came from outer space/another dimension. She has highly powerful chakra abilities born from cultivating a Divine Tree that would bear chakra granting fruit.
World's Most Beautiful Woman: In the Shippudden filler episodes about her backstory, it's shown that her otherworldly beauty was known far and wide, and that it even caused a war between two countries.
World's Strongest Woman: She's stated by her son, The Sage of the Six Paths, to be the most powerful being that ever lived, since she was the one who claimed the power of chakra on Earth in the first place. She was a Physical Goddess while he was a "mere" demigod in comparison. And she doesn't disappoint when she shows up in person. Even then she is holding back, as she is trying to absorb Naruto and Sasuke's chakra, plus she's an utter novice at actual fighting. Without both of those caveats, she'd have killed them in seconds. She can even transform into a monstrous rabbit form of the Ten-Tails that's extremely fast and can absorb everything that it grabs, and she can create an enormous Truth Seeking Orb so powerful, it was stated to destroy an entire dimension. Even with the introduction of her other clan members, none of them have exhibited the same scale of destructive power Kaguya was capable of.

Hamura Ohtsutsuki

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese), Steve Blum (English)

Debut: Naruto Chapter 670 (Manga), Shippuden Episode 420 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hamura_the_last.png

The Sage of Six Path's twin brother and youngest of the two, and the ancestor of the Hyuga clan. After defeating their mother he took some of his family to the moon where they watched over the remains of the Ten-Tails.

Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: Like his brother, his chakra transcends his physical body, but does not actually reincarnate. He appears to Hinata in The Last to give her his chakra, Toneri's Achilles' Heel, to allow her to defeat the Tenseigan Energy Vessel, and express that his desire is to see his brother's world survive.
Batman Can Breathe in Space: To reiterate. He took his family to live on the moon.
Decomposite Character: In-Universe. While earlier revelations state that The Sage of Six Path's fought the Ten-Tails all by himself, It is later revealed that he had his brother fight alongside him. Justified as those earlier revelations were all secondhand accounts and we only managed to hear all the facts from the people who were around at the time.
Famous Ancestor: He's the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, not to mention the remaining members of the Branch Ohtsutsuki clan a millennium after his physical death.
Gravity Master: The Tenseigan grants its user the power over repulsive and attractive forces, much like the Deva Path of the Rinnegan.
Half-Human Hybrid: Both he and his brother are half-human, half-celestial being.
Horned Humanoid: Inherited from his mother, though his are bigger than his brother's.
Lineage Comes from the Father: Inverted, same as with his brother; all the emphasis is on his mother.
Magic Eye: He inherited his mother's Byakugan. In his lifetime, he also achieved the Tenseigan.
Odd Name Out: Unlike his mother, brother, nephews, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki, Hamura’s name isn’t derived from Eastern mythology.
Posthumous Character: Has only been mentioned twice, in passing, by his brother's ghost and his reincarnated mother. Nothing aside from his existence is known so far, except his name, that he had the Byakugan, and that he assisted in the first sealing of the Ten Tails. Subverted in The Last, as he gave some of his chakra to Hinata to destroy the Energy Vessel.
Undying Loyalty: To his brother.

Indra Ohtsutsuki

Voiced by: Takashi Kondo, Arisa Shida (child) (Japanese); Robbie Daymond, Abby Trott (child) (English)

Debut: Naruto Chapter 462 (Manga), Shippuden Episode 203 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/indra_infobox.png

The eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, and the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

BFS: Wielded a nodachi.
Broken Ace: According to Hagoromo himself, Indra was an Ineffectual Loner who had the power to accomplish anything he put his mind to by himself, and as a result couldn't comprehend The Power of Friendship and was ultimately consumed by hatred.
Cain and Abel: Became the Cain to Ashura's Abel.
Calling the Old Man Out: The night before the old Sage's death, Indra chastises him for being afraid of Kaguya's power instead of seeking to understand it, before proclaiming that he would reincarnate over and over until Ninshu was a thing of the past.
Child Prodigy: He invented the use of ninjutsu and hand signs at only 10 years old. Hagoromo remarks that Indra was able to do things with chakra that even he, The Sage of Six Paths, couldn't do.
Exotic Eye Designs: What is presumably his Mangekyo Sharingan took the form of a spiral similar to the insignia of the Uzumaki clan.
Eternal Hero: More of an eternal antagonist. His chakra was so potent, and his rivalry with Ashura so deeply ingrained, that even after his physical death it persisted and was reincarnated several times over the course of the next thousand years into his descendants. It is implied his will/chakra influenced Sasuke and others towards their more extreme behaviors, such that time and again those his chakra attached to would inevitably kill or be killed by those who bore Ashura's chakra. It is further implied that Sasuke and Naruto making peace at last put an end to the feud and Indra's curse upon his descendents.
Famous Ancestor: He's the founder of the Uchiha Clan.
Instant Armor: Was the first to call upon Susanoo and achieve its perfect form.
Karma Houdini: Started the Uchiha/Senju feud and fostered an attitude of It's All About Me in his descendants. Sure Black Zetsu helped him along, but he wasn't forced into it; he's responsible for his own actions but his father, Hagoromo, treats it like his own fault for choosing Indra's clearly superior (in so many ways) brother as his successor instead. To be clear, Hagoromo regrets believing that Indra would simply accept the decision and support his brother, rather than regreting the decision to choose Ashura.
Magical Eye: Was the first to possess the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan.
Purple Is Powerful: His Susanoo was purple, like that of his descendant and reincarnation Sasuke.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: In Hinduism, Indra is a warrior-god and the leader of the Devas. Naruto's Indra was the founder of the Uchiha Clan and the opponent of his brother Ashura. Hindu Mythology believes that the Devas are always at war with Ashuras. In the original myths, Indra is a heroic figure and the Ashuras are antagonists, but this version sees their roles flipped.
The Power of Hate: Was the one who started the Uchiha Clan's Curse of Hatred.
Strong Family Resemblance: He and Madara look very similar to each other.
Uneven Hybrid: He and his brother are only a quarter-celestial being.
Unwitting Pawn: It turns out he was one to Black Zetsu, who manipulated him into attacking his younger brother Ashura and starting the feud between their descendants in his pursuit to revive the brothers' grandmother.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: The anime includes scenes of him as the adorable, likable child he was before being corrupted, and the bond he had with his younger brother.
Walking Spoiler: If only for one major reason: Madara and Sasuke are his reincarnations (in the sense that his chakra and influence clung to them, their souls appear to all be separate).

Ashura Ohtsutsuki

Voiced by: Oki Sugiyama, Momoko Ohara (child) (Japanese); Chris Hackney, Alex Cazares (child) (English

Debut: Naruto Chapter 462 (Manga), Shippuden Episode 203 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ashura.png

The youngest son and successor of the Sage of Six Paths, and the ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

Animal Battle Aura: Was capable of conjuring one with a strong resemblance to Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode, only with six arms and three faces.
Big Brother Worship: According to the 4th databook, he admired Indra and worked hard to catch up to him. Sadly, things didn't work out between them thanks to the Succession Crisis over leadership of Ninshu.
BFS: Wielded a nodachi, although he also took up a khakkhara like his father's.
Cain and Abel: Started out as the Cain to Indra's Abel, but they swapped later in life.
Eternal Hero: His chakra was so potent that even after his physical death it persisted and was reincarnated several times. Naruto eventually became aware of Ashura's presence/chakra clinging to him and compared it to being possessed by a ghost. It's implied Ashura's presence within a reincarnate would inevitably influence a rivalry with the current reincarnate of Indra, with tragic results. It is further implied the chakra ghosts of Indra and Ashura were at last put to rest when Sasuke and Naruto made peace.
Green Thumb: In a filler arc detailing his life, Ashura is shown to be able to use Wood Release.
Hard Work Hardly Works: Defied. Despite having none of his brothers natural talent, Ashura was eventually able to match him by working all the harder and finding strength in the support of the people around him. His willingness to accept help and cooperate with others eventually enabled his own inner potential to bloom and he found in himself power equal to Indra.
Heroic Lineage: Was the ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans.
Irony: Despite being known as someone who lacked natural talent, he eventually grew in status and his descendants were the Senju and Uzumaki clans; both would be renowned for their vast array of skills in ninjutsu and sealing methods respectively.
The Power of Friendship: Initially lacked his brother's power, but through fostering camaraderie and alliances he eventually unlocked the power within himself and kickstarted the Will of Fire.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming:
- His Animal Battle Aura had six arms and three faces, and his brother's name was Indra, after the leader of the Deva in Hinduism. Hindu mythology holds that the Devas and Ashuras are perpetually at war. In the original myths, Ashuras are the antagonists and the Indra-led Devas benevolent, but this version sees their roles flipped.
- His Kunitsukami technique is named after a term in Shinto religion used to refer to gods who reside in the earthly realm.
Spell My Name With An S: "Ashura" is the phonetic translation from katakana, whereas the Naruto wiki has decided to go with "Ashura", which makes more sense all things considered.
Strong Family Resemblance: Hashirama took a great deal of his features from him. Heck, his hairstyle is even somewhat similar to Naruto's.
Uneven Hybrid: He and his brother are only quarter-celestial beings.
The Unfavorite: Was initially this, although his hard work and cooperative nature impressed his father and led him to be named the Sage's successor.
Walking Spoiler: If only for one major reason: Hashirama and Naruto are his reincarnations (in the sense that his chakra and influence clung to them, their souls appear to all be separate).

Toneri Ohtsutsuki

Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama (JP), Robbie Daymond (EN)

Debut: The Last: Naruto the Movie (Film)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toneri___the_last.png

The Big Bad of the seventh Shippuden movie (and the first Canon movie in the franchise), The Last: Naruto the Movie. A descendant of Hamura Ohtsutsuki who hails from the moon, he intends to drop the moon onto the Earth as punishment to mankind who have abused chakra in their petty wars and attempts to kidnap Hinata, for the sole purpose of gaining a wife after Earth has been wiped clean of all life. It's later revealed that he belongs the Branch Family of the Ohtsutsuki clan that wiped out the Main Family after they misinterpreted Hamura Ohtsutsuki's will. To get Hinata to come to him, he has his puppets kidnap Hanabi Hyuga and steals her eyes in order to awaken the legendary Tenseigan: eyes that rivals the Rinnegan in power. Despite all the evil he commits, Toneri demonstrates that his isolation on the moon drove him to desperation for companionship and after being defeated by Naruto and Hinata and shown the error of his ways, he stops trying to destroy the Earth and lives the remainder of his life on the Moon as atonement.

11th-Hour Superpower: The Tenseigan chakra mode]], which he unlocks during the Final Battle. It's Deconstructed, as it's because he only unlocked it at the last minute, that he lacks the experience to use it effectively, which contributes to [[spoiler:his defeat to a more experienced opponent.
Abhorrent Admirer: Towards Hinata.
Adam and Eve Plot: His plan is to repopulate the world along with Hinata's pure Hyuga blood after he wipes out the human race.
The Aloner: Toneri is the only remaining person left on the Moon after a bloody civil war started by the branch family of the Ohtsutsuki clan.
The Atoner: After the events of The Last it's stated that he had a part in Hinata's son, Boruto, having the Jougan eye power. He tells Boruto in a dream that with this power he is destined to save the world.
And I Must Scream: In Boruto, after facing off against Urashiki Ohtsutsuki, the later traps him in a time prison.
And Now You Must Marry Me: He desires to take Hinata as his bride.
The Atoner: It's strongly implied that his stance against his distant Ohtsutsuki relatives and his aid for Boruto is driven by his desire to make up for his earlier sins.
Attack! Attack! Attack!: In the Final Battle, he relies mainly in spamming attacks which are devastatingly powerful, but leave him open to Naruto's counterattacks.
Betty and Veronica: The "Veronica" (the Big Bad, Smug Super, Yandere, and a mysterious figure) to Naruto's "Betty" (A Hero to His Hometown, All-Loving Hero, Nice Guy, and childhood friend) for Hinata's "Archie". She will always choose Naruto but had to pretend to choose Toneri to save Hanabi. In the end, she and Naruto get together officially with Toneri having no loved ones at all with him in the end.
BFS: Creates a sword of chakra so large he splits the moon in half with it.
Big Bad: He is one for The Last, a more personal example than previous movies as he involves himself in a Love Triangle with Naruto and Hinata.
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Toneri is a part of the branch family of the Ohtsutsuki clan. The branch family wiped out the main family after the events of the manga because they blamed them for allowing Madara to summon the King of Hell Statue and seek to wipe out humanity for abusing chakra and corrupting ninshuu.
Blind Seer: In Boruto he uses his ninshuu to relay a prophecy to Boruto from the moon.
Cock Fight: End of the world aside, Hinata is the main fuel for the deep hatred between him and Naruto, especially Lampshaded in the novelization.
Colony Drop: His intent is to crash the moon into the earth.
Color Motifs: Green, to represent his villainous status, dangerously jealous nature and inexperience.
Deconstructed Trope: 11th-Hour Superpower.
Defeat Means Friendship: Toneri is the only movie villain to befriend Naruto after being defeated. The previous movies tend to end with Naruto killing the villain at the end, but in the manga, Naruto tends not to kill his villains and instead is usually able to convince them to give up their evil ways. The reason for the difference between Naruto not killing Toneri and Naruto killing all of the previous movie villains is because The Last is Canon to the manga, unlike the previous movies.
The Empath: Toneri has the ability to look into the hearts and memories of others with ninshuu. Ironically, empathy is something he completely lacks.
Entitled to Have You: What his attraction to Hinata boils down to.
Evil Counterpart:
- To Naruto — Both grew up in isolation and thought about hurting the ones who caused it or somehow made it worse. However, while Naruto managed to learn forgiveness, Toneri never did before it was too late. Naruto is quite humble and is now an experienced shinobi. Toneri is very naive and has a huge ego.
- To Hinata — Hinata is a selfless, kind person—when she thought that Naruto fell in love with someone else, while she was quite heartbroken, she quietly wished him happiness and decided to stop pursuing him. Toneri is a self-centered, cruel being—when he discovered that Hinata was still deeply in love with Naruto, he tried to force her to forget about him by turning her into his puppet.
Eyes Always Shut: Before taking Hanabi's Byakugan and obtaining the Tenseigan, he only opens his eyes once, revealing his unnerving empty sockets.
Eye Scream:
- His clan had removed their Byakugan eyes and use them to power the weapon he is using to drop the moon on the world.
- Once again when Hinata herself ripped Hanabi's eyes out of Toneri's eye sockets.
Final Boss: While Kaguya is the final villain Naruto fought in the manga, Toneri is this for the Shippuden series as whole.
Go Mad from the Isolation: Toneri is the last Ohtsutsuki and person living on the moon, with only his puppets to keep him company and the result has made him quite unhinged, but for the most part he keeps it in check until his Villainous Breakdown.
Glass Cannon: For all the power the Tenseigan can give, a sufficiently powerful attack can make it revert back into a Byakugan.
Green-Eyed Monster: The romantic variation. He uses his ninshu on Hinata and finds out that she is still thinking about Naruto. He is very clearly not taking it well. He even asks Hinata to make him a red scarf like the one she made for Naruto, thinking it will help him win her over. It doesn't.
Hopeless Suitor: To Hinata. No Matter how persistent he is, his time with her at his castle shows how incompatible he is with her. Even without Hinata's Single-Target Sexuality toward Naruto in mind, he never had a chance with her at all.
Hypocrite: For someone who antagonizes humanity for weaponizing chakra, he seems to have to problem doing so in order to try killing Naruto. In the end, when Hinata reclaims Hanabi's eyes by ripping them out of Toneri's eyesockets, he reacts with anger and sore cursing, yet he doesn't seem to recall that he stole those eyes to begin with.
I Have You Now, My Pretty: To Hinata, whom he wants to marry. Naruto strongly disagrees.
Karma Houdini: Subverted. While he gets Easily Forgiven by Naruto and Hinata, he has to live with the realization that his actions went completely against his ancestor's wishes. It causes so much guilt that for someone who went on about honoring his ancestor, it's A Fate Worse Than Death. Also he's actually much worse off than before. Because not only is he blind again, the Tenseigan core's destruction renders him powerless with his puppets remaining deactivated, and by staying on the moon he condemns himself with the very thing he was trying to escape. So while he is still a major case of Easily Forgiven, he ends up with a life long punishment of his own choosing anyway.
Kill All Humans: Seeks the destruction of humanity for abusing chakra for the use of war as per Hamura's decree. As it turns out, Hamura never wanted to do such a thing.
Knight Templar: Thanks to his mistaken beliefs about Hamura's will, he thinks he's the hero who is going to get the girl.
Kryptonite Factor: Only Hamura Ohtsutsuki's chakra, which can be yielded by Hinata, can actively harm him and his Tenseigan. Naruto manages to use it against him during the Final Battle, thanks to Hinata's chakra clinging to the scarf he holds.
Lack of Empathy: He judges all of humanity as worthy of death for their violence against each other and misuse of chakra, despite his own people having killed each other off in a civil war using chakra weapons. To some extent this is driven more by him wanting his people's beliefs about their purpose to have been true, for their deaths to mean something, rather than him being incapable of empathy.
Laser-Guided Karma: All of his actions eventually come back to bite him.
Last of His Kind: Toneri is the last of the Ohtsutsuki Branch family after the civil war.
Light Is Not Good: He spends most of The Last dressed in a white robe. At the movie's conclusion, he's switched to wearing black, suggesting a Heel–Face Turn.
Love at First Sight: He's smitten with Hinata from the moment he sees her and tries to take her even though he had already taken Hanabi.
Love Hungry: On the other hand, when it turns out that Hinata doesn't reciprocate his feelings, he goes into full Yandere mode and decides to hypnotize her and turn her into one of his puppets.
Magical Eye: He gets a pair after transplanting Hanabi's Byakugan called the Tenseigan, which gives him the power of all of his ancestor's eyes sealed in an altar for the last millennium. He loses them at the end.
Magic Missile Storm: The most common application of his combat ninshuu is to shoot Energy Balls and many of the puppets he controls can use the same technique.
Mana Drain: Apparently, he and his Tenseigan can absorb all forms of chakra from a distance. Naruto finds this out the hard way when he faces him for the first time after he confesses his love to Hinata. Toneri attempts to do it again after Naruto beats him but Hinata protects Naruto by sharing Hamura Ohtsutsuki's chakra with him.
Marionette Master: All of the Mooks featured in The Last are puppets controlled by Toneri's ninshu in what is described as a predecessor technique to the Sand Village's puppet ninjutsu.
Meaningful Name: Swapping the first two syllables of his name spells out "netori", someone who steals someone else's lover.
Meaningless Villain Victory: He managed to gain a lot from his villanous deeds. Thing is, said actions come with consequences and those consequences render his successes null and void.
Murder the Hypotenuse: He falls for Hinata. Guess who happens to be his rival in love?
Not Good with Rejection: When he catches Hinata in the act of trying to destroy the Tenseigan, and figures out that her accepting his marriage proposal was a ruse, he goes into full Yandere mode and decides to hypnotize her and turn her into one of his puppets.
Odd Name Out: Unlike other named Ohtsutsuki, Toneri’s name has its roots in Japanese history instead of Eastern mythology.
Only You Can Repopulate My Race: This is a primary reason why he wants to marry Hinata in The Last. It was Implied in the movie and outright stated in the novelization. He believed that they could restart humanity and create a better people.
Pretty Boy: The description for his character design packet even Lampshades his good looks.
Redemption Demotion: He pulls a Heel–Face Turn, but no longer has access to the Tenseigan and his puppets. As a result, he stands no chance against Urashiki and gets trapped in a time prison.
Sealed Badass in a Can: Toneri's ninshu itself, while impressive, isn't mind blowing, but with the power of his ancestors unlocked with the Tenseigan he becomes a more than a match for Naruto...for a short time anyway.
Shadow Archetype: The member of a branch family of a powerful, dojutsu-wielding clan, warped by its negative traditions and harboring ill-intent against the head family? Toneri is virtually what Neji could have become had his resentment against the Hyuga never subsided—and with Foe Romance Subtext with Hinata too!
Skilled, but Naive: A villainous version. He is shown to very skilled with the power that the Tenseigan gives him, but due to a lack of proper battle experience, overconfidence in his own abilities, as well as underestimating his opponents make him this trope. His inexperience leads to his undoing.
Smug Super: Believes that with the Tenseigan he's invincible. He's wrong.
Squishy Wizard: The Tenseigan makes him powerful, but he lacks close combat skills, which is why he mainly relied on his puppets to do his fighting for him at the beginning.
Super Mode: The Tenseigan Chakra Mode where his entire body glows blue and he grows a single horn.
Symbol Motif Clothing: His kimono has a moon enclosing on a sun, a symbol of the branch family that he hails from.
Tragic Villain: More so than the previous villains. He spent most of his life alone on the moon and has nothing to cling to except for the Ohtsutsuki branch family's propaganda about Hamura's intention for the Tenseigan, causing him to become a love-starved Knight Templar.
Underestimating Badassery: Views Naruto as a nuisance, never treating him seriously until it's too late.
Villainous Breakdown: Goes through this by the end of The Last.
Villainous Crush: He has one on Hinata, desiring to take her away from the world before he destroys it so he will no longer be alone.
Villain Teleportation: His teleportation isn't quite Tobi-level but it lets him escape Naruto a few times.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Toneri is driven by the belief that humans are destructive and must be stopped before they do more damage. Unfortunately, he intends to do this via very apocalyptic means.
White Hair, Black Heart: He has white hair and is the Big Bad of The Last.
Yandere: He falls obsessively in love with Hinata and predictably tries to kill off the competition. Considering who his competition happens to be, he unsurprisingly fails.
