Adaptation Expansion: His capture, which wasn't shown in the manga, is shown briefly in the story.

Determinator: She managed to complete every single task Utakata gave her, until he accepted her as his disciple.

Historical Characters

Asura Otsutsuki

Indra Otsutsuki

Hagoromo's eldest son. Ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

You Are in Command Now: When her father was on his death bed, she was given his chakra, and awakened the Tenseigan.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The mother of Hagoromo and Hamura.

Adaptational Heroism: Unlike in canon, where she is mostly a Generic Doomsday Villain (at least until Boruto explains her motivations), here she's shown to be heavily repentant of her actions in life, and is proud of the world her sons helped create, and she even urges Naruto and Hinata to stop Madara.
Demoted to Extra: To an extent, as she isn't the ultimate final villain here, partially due to her Adaptational Heroism, and also due to the circumstances of her revival not happening.
Humans Are Special: She came to believe this after living on Earth for so long, admiring their creativity and their ability to grow and evolve with each generation.
Interspecies Romance: She seduced a human emperor, who sired her two sons.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her intention was to unite humanity under her command in order to be able to fight the incoming invasion of her species. Sadly, she got Drunk with Power and lost her way in the process.

Akashi Sutoku

The final head of the now extinct Sutoku clan who was revived as part of Orochimaru's Edo Tensei army.

Berserk Button: He really hates the Uchiha clan due to their part in his clan's downfall and doesn't hesitate for a second to let Itachi and Sasuke know that while they fight.

Named After Somebody Famous: His clan name comes from a 12th century Japanese emperor.
Original Character: They don't have a counterpart in canon.
Plasma Cannon: Their clan's bloodline limit is Plasma Release, which is a combination between Fire and Lightning.
Shout-Out Theme Naming: His Plasma Release jutsu are called Light of Death, Light of Judgement and Light That Burns the Sky.
Superpower Lottery: Plasma Release is one of the most destructive bloodline limits known, so much so that the Uchiha and Senju clans joined forces to wipe them out (and then immediately went back to killing each other).

An alternate version of Haku. Unlike the real Haku, he has a huge complex regarding his feminine appearance, and tries very hard to appear manly and masculine.

Alternate Shino

An alternate version of Shino. Once he starts talking, he won't shut up.

Brilliant, but Lazy: Incredibly strong and skilled, but he often prefers to nap rather than train.

Alternate Tenten
