Initially met with skepticism, the Boruto series has evolved significantly, enriching the Naruto franchise’s lore, particularly through its portrayal of the Otsutsuki clan as the primary antagonists. This deeper exploration reveals that the Otsutsuki are even more threatening than previously imagined in Naruto, yet many aspects of their existence remain shrouded in mystery. Who are these beings, and what do they truly want?
Understanding the Otsutsuki Clan
The Otsutsuki clan, far from being divine entities, are in fact alien colonizers who traverse the universe in pairs to cultivate Divine Trees (or God Trees). These trees yield chakra fruit, which grants immense powers when consumed by one of the pair. While they may appear as benevolent creators, their actions tell a different story. They exploit planets, depleting their chakra and life to fuel their ambitions, effectively rendering them parasitic invaders.
A crucial aspect of their method involves utilizing Ten Tails to sow these Divine Trees across chosen planets. As Boruto progresses, the narrative takes a darker turn as these Divine Trees evolve into more lethal humanoid forms, governed by figures like Jura—the embodiment of Ten Tails. This evolution raises alarms about the imminent threats posed by these entities.
Kaguya’s ancestry on Earth connects significantly to the Uzumaki, Uchiha, Hyuuga, and Senju clans, though it remains unclear if similar lineages have developed on other planets inhabited by the Otsutsuki.
The Need for Further Exploration
As the central antagonists of Boruto, the Otsutsuki clan has its mysteries unraveled deeper than before, particularly regarding Isshiki Otsutsuki’s fate post-Kaguya’s betrayal. Notably, Kaguya was initially deemed a low-ranking member, positioned on Earth alongside Isshiki not as a consumer of the chakra fruit, but rather as a sacrifice. Her act of defying this role prompts inquiries into clan dynamics and selection processes for planetary missions.
Questions abound: Was Isshiki truly slated to consume the fruit, or was he merely a messenger? Despite Kaguya’s rebellion from the mission, the clan’s long-term interest in her reveals complex hierarchies and intentions. Momoshiki, another key member, arrives on Earth not only to search for Kaguya but also to pursue the chakra of Naruto, indicating resource-oriented motives behind the Otsutsuki’s interplanetary travels.
This scenario paints a dire picture for humanity, highlighting the divide between the struggles of ordinary life and the effortless acquirement of power that figures like Momoshiki imply with phrases like, “With this pill, instantly, with no effort, and so easily, I acquire true power.”Furthermore, the question looms: What drives the Otsutsuki clan? Do they seek immortality, or are there grander schemes at play? With potential narrative threads weaving in ‘universe politics’ among alien races, further exploration into the Otsutsuki’s origins is both timely and necessary.
