Boruto: Otsutsuki Clan Revealed—Even More Horrible and Mystifying Origins!

by

The following article contains spoilers for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex.

Summary

  • Otsutsuki are alien colonizers who harvest chakra from planets to become stronger.
  • There are many unanswered questions about the Otsutsuki clan‘s origins and true goals.
  • Boruto TBB Chapter 21 will be released on April 20, 2025; available on MANGA Plus in multiple languages.

Initially, some Naruto enthusiasts weren’t fond of Boruto upon its debut, but over time, the series has crafted a captivating narrative and skillfully broadened the franchise’s mythology, with the Otsutsuki clan serving as the central adversaries in the plot.

In the anime titled Boruto, it’s revealed that the Otsutsuki Clan is more sinister than initially perceived in Naruto. However, there are several mysteries that remain unsolved about this clan, such as their identities and their ultimate objectives.

Who Are The Otsutsuki Clan in Naruto and Boruto?

The Otsutsuki Clan are actually extraterrestrial beings, resembling humans, who traverse the cosmos in twosomes. Their mission involves nurturing Divine Trees (often referred to as God Trees) across the universe. Consuming the fruit from these trees grants them extraordinary powers.

Despite being frequently perceived as divine creators, the Otsutsuki are more akin to parasitic colonizers. The Divine Tree, so named for its presumed role in sustaining Earth’s life, actually feeds on the chakra and genetic information of living beings until the planet is barren and lifeless. Unconcerned about the destruction of planets and numerous lifeforms, they exploit these resources to enhance their own strength.

In the world of Boruto, the Ten Tails act as saplings for Divine Trees, which means that the Otsutsuki clan uses the Ten Tails to plant these trees on planets they intend to exploit. As the story progresses, these Divine Trees undergo evolution and take on a humanoid form. They have the power to absorb chakra, with those who have been absorbed becoming part of the “human Divine Trees.” Among these transformed beings, Jura stands as their leader, being the embodiment of the Ten Tails itself.

On Earth, the bloodline of Kaguya split into several prominent families: Uzumaki, Uchiha, Hyuuga, and Senju. Whether a similar event occurred on another planet remains unknown.

Why We Need To Learn More About Them

In the continuation of the storyline, Boruto provides further insights about the Otsutsuki clan, taking on a pivotal role as the principal adversaries. The narrative explores the post-event life of Isshiki Otsutsuki following Kaguya’s attempted assassination. Yet, there remains a myriad of enigmas surrounding this fascinating clan.

In essence, it appears that Kaguya Otsutsuki, as we understand it, was not a high-ranking or particularly powerful member within her clan initially. She accompanied Isshiki to Earth, but she wasn’t meant to consume the Chakra Fruit; instead, she was intended to be a sacrifice. Yet, Kaguya defied Isshiki and consumed the fruit herself. This action raises several questions, such as the nature of the clan’s hierarchy and the criteria they use for selecting individuals to visit different planets.

Initially, was Isshiki intended to consume the fruit, or was he only going to give it to someone else? It appears that Kaguya deviated from the original plan, but it took them centuries to uncover what happened to her, suggesting that her mission might have been less important compared to their other priorities. Eventually, Momoshiki, a relative of the main family, arrives on Earth in search of Kaguya. Interestingly, he then attempts to grow a new Divine Tree using Naruto’s chakra, implying they may be seeking a Chakra Fruit from Earth (or else, he could have simply left and gone somewhere else).

You unlucky, troublesome beings. Without persistent training and determination, you won’t progress. Look at me! This capsule grants immediate, effortless, and simple access to genuine strength.

This version retains the original’s tone and message while using more natural, easy-to-understand language.

— Momoshiki Otsutsuki

It remains unclear where exactly the Otsutsuki originate, as well as how they discovered the Divine Trees and the Chakra Fruits. Their aim for interplanetary travel seems to revolve around achieving immortality, but one might question if this is their sole purpose or if they have other objectives that remain undisclosed.

Given that the clan is currently under the limelight in Boruto, this could be an excellent opportunity to explore more about their past, secrets, and mysteries, as well as potentially uncovering any intricate “interdimensional politics” that may include encounters with other extraterrestrial beings.
