However, a single ninja, was able to sever that chain and cultivate a new future. He created best friends, followed them, challenged them, and connected them. His will, gradually came to encompass all shinobi, the world, and all it's hatred, until it came to reveal a new path. Here, the handbook that encompasses everything about the way of the shinobi reaches its conclusion. Now, its time to give that handbook a title. And so it will be named 'The Tale Of Naruto Uzumaki'
~ Hagoromo's final words by the end of the game

Summary

Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki (大筒おおつつ ハゴロモ Otsutsuki Hagoromo?), is one of the minor characters from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. He is known to the world at large as the Sage of the Six Paths (六道仙人りくどうせんにん Rikudō Sennin?), was a legendary god-like figure who founded Ninshū, which led to the creation of the ninja world. He was the son of Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and, alongside his fraternal twin brother, was the first to be born with the same powerful chakra as their mother. Both he and his brother defeated their mother, who had become the terrifying Ten-Tails, in battle, and sealed the powerful beast within him, thus making Hagoromo the first jinchūriki. He plays the role as the game's narrator. At the beginning of the game's story mode, the unseen Hagoromo presents the player with a scroll without a name which records the game's story. Upon completing the main story, Hagoromo decides that all there is left to do is to give the scroll a name and names it The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki. He plays his role as the narrator again in the Road to Boruto expansion for the game, presenting another scroll without a name to the player, but this time, he doesn't give the scroll a name at the end of the story. The reason for this is because, according to him, Boruto's path in life will keep going on for a very long time. Eventually, Boruto will look back on his path in life, and when he does, the story will get a name. Hagoromo concludes by telling the player that until then, this story will not have a name.

Hagoromo again makes an appearance in Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, this time appearing as one of the protagonists of History Mode, where alongside Jiraiya, he attempts to restore history after it had been erased due to a calamity in the river of time.

This aura, when emitted by someone of around Kage level strength or above, was shown to have a physical effect powerful enough to violently damage the user's surroundings. When the user's aura is injected with bloodlust or malice, it has been consistently shown to cause a variety of harmful effects such as intense fear, paralysis, illusions, suicidal urges, unconsciousness, and more. Hagoromo has been depicted with an aura before)
    • Transmutation (High level Ninjutsu is produced through the act of taking one's chakra and performing a "change in chakra nature" to transform it into one of the principle five Nature Transformations, which are Wind, Fire, Water, Earth and Lightning. The transformed chakra gains the properties of the elements it is changed into)
    • Elemental Manipulation (The Sage of Six Paths has mastered and is capable of utilizing all nature transformations. This means that Hagoromo should be capable of freely combining any two or more nature transformations to achieve a variety of desired effects. Prominent examples of this include combining Wind and Fire Style in order to greatly increase their offensive capabilities and range, combining Wind and Water in order to create Ice Style, combining Earth and Water in order to create Wood Style, and much more)
  • Sealing (Sealed the Ten-Tails within himself. As the repeatedly accredited creator of all forms of Jutsu seen in the modern world, he is likely the originator of many Sealing Jutsu. Imbued his Sacred Tools with said jutsu.)
  • Non-Physical Interaction (Incorporeality, Intangibility & Soul; Sealing Jutsu allows one to interact with and seal incorporeal and intangible entities, such as souls)
  • Power Bestowal (He shared his chakra and abilities with Naruto and Sasuke, which greatly empowered them and granted them many new abilities He is capable of imbuing powers and abilities into objects as well, which could be seen with him imbuing the Shuigu with the "power of water" or his Sacred Tools with powerful Fūinjutsu)
  • Weapon Mastery (He likely possessed proficiency in Kenjutsu as he was portrayed wielding a katana in his battle against the Ten-Tails. He also possessed and wielded many weapons throughout his life including his Kakkhara staff, the Sword of Nunoboko, and his Sacred Tools)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Invisibiliy; His sensory capabilities should be far superior to Naruto's, who can detect invisible clones that exist in a separate dimension)
  • Precognition (Hagoromo foresaw his own death, including the exact time that it would take place. He also foresaw many of the events that would take place during the Fourth Shinobi World War)

  • Enhanced Senses (The Rinnegan is capable of perceiving chakra, and its flow within the body. It's also capable of perceiving invisible barriers, and can even see the Invisible Limbo Clones, which reside in a different dimension and are normally impossible to perceive. He was able to perceive Asura's reincarnated soul clinging onto Naruto, which nobody else was ever able to see or sense despite Naruto coming across many sensory-type ninja and powerful Dōjutsu users. Not even another Rinnegan and Six Paths Senjutsu user such as Madara was able to perceive Asura's soul)
  • Paralysis Inducement & Body Puppetry (The Black Receivers can paralyze and hinder the movements of whoever they pierce, and they can also control their movements)
  • BFR (Hurled the moon, which had the Ten Tails sealed inside it, into orbit. He can send souls to the Pure Land, Naruto's version of the afterlife, even those that are bound to the physical world through Edo Tensei)
  • Six Paths Jutsu:
    • Possession, Clairvoyance & Telepathy (Via the Six Paths Technique and using the Black Chakra Receivers, the user can transmit their chakra into the pierced bodies and take them over in a very similar manner to the Yamanaka Clan's Mind-Body Transfer Jutsu. This allows the user to assume perfect control over the bodies as if they were his own. It also allows the user to speak through the bodies. The pierced bodies can transfer their thoughts and experiences to each other, perfectly coordinate their movements, and share their fields of vision to enhance their visual range and eliminate each others' blind spots)
    • Deva Path:
      • Levitation (The Deva Path allows the user to fly and levitate to great heights)
      • Gravity Manipulation, Telekinesis & Sealing (The Deva Path allows the user to control attractive and repulsive forces, in a very similar fashion to electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. Shinra Tensei allows the user to repel objects, people, and Ninjutsu, while Bansho Tenin allows them to pull in objects or people. The user can also telekinetically control objects using these abilities. With Chibaku Tensei, the user can create an orb that has an extreme gravitational pull, which allows it to attract nearby landmass, objects, or individuals to create a planetoid and trap whoever's caught in it inside. It's also possible to transform the target into the gravitational core itself, making it far more difficult to escape.)
      • Enhanced Power Nullification & Enhanced Sealing (With Six Paths ー Chibaku Tensei, the user(s) are capable of sealing away and nullifying their target's abilities, making it impossible to escape the seal)
    • Human Path:
    • Animal Path:
      • Summoning (The Animal Path allows its user to freely summon various creatures, as well as people without the need for a blood contract He was able to summon Team 7, Madara, and the Tailed Beasts from Kaguya's root dimension using the Summoning Jutsu. He can summon the souls of the deceased from the Pure Land to aid him in battle. The Rinnegan allows its wielder to summon the Gedō Statue from the moon or anywhere else it may reside, but it should be noted that Hagoromo would never do so in-character)
    • Naraka Path:
      • Summoning, Healing, Paralysis Inducement, Limited Death Manipulation, Sealing & Invisibility (The Naraka Path allows the user to summon the King of Hell. The King of Hell is capable of repairing and healing even the most irreparable of damage. Upon establishing physical contact, the Naraka Path paralyzes its victims, and instantly kills those who lie when questioned by the user, and even storing bodies and souls. Additionally, the King of Hell is invisible to everyone other than the victim)
    • Asura Path:
    • Preta Path:
      • Absorption (The Preta Path allows its user to absorb Ninjutsu. It can also absorb chakra through direct contact, or from a distance)
      • Healing (The Preta Path's chakra absorption can revitalize and heal its user)
    • Resurrection (Via the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth, the user can revive the dead, but at the cost of their own life)
  • Chain Manipulation, Non-Physical Interaction (Soul), Enhanced Paralysis Inducement, Pain Manipulation & Power Nullification (With Outer Path Chains, the user is capable of producing chakra chains that can restrain targets and bind their power. It also causes the target excruciating pain. This power works even against fully spiritual entities, and restrains even their astral selves. Its binding power has also been noted to be more powerful than the Black Receivers)
  • Possibly Teleportation (With Amenotejikara, the user can shift themselves between spaces, causing anything currently occupying the space he targets to swap places with them. This allows the user to instantly switch their position with that of another person or object within the technique's range. It is also possible to switch the positions of other people or objects with each other. Finally, it is also possible for the user to shift themselves or another person between empty spaces. Hagoromo should possess this ability since it was repeatedly stated that it was a power of Hagoromo's that was gifted to Sasuke through chakra, which is pertinent in this case because we know Hagoromo's chakra carries his own powers and abilities within it)

  • Statistics Amplification (Sage Mode dramatically enhances one's Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. Additionally, Sage Mode also greatly enhances all of the user's physical attributes such as their durability, power, speed and reflexes, and lifting strength)
  • Enhanced Acrobatics (Sage Mode users can leap and fight incredibly high in the air)
  • Flight (Six Paths Senjutsu allows its users to freely float and fly)
  • Healing (Senjutsu Chakra users recover and heal at an accelerated rate compared to normal)
  • Enhanced Senses (Sage Mode activates and enhances all physical attributes, which should include the senses. Sage Mode users can see Nature Energy, which is impossible for those who can't manipulate Nature Energy. Sage Mode allows its users to see clearly in pitch black darkness. Additionally, the Mode allows its users to perceive invisible entities such as the King of Hell. Sage Mode also allows its users to see and keep track of extremely tiny, faraway objects embedded in extremely large, fast moving characters like the Tailed Beasts in the midst of combat. It also allows for the ability to track opponents even within thick smoke)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Sage Mode users are capable of sensing Nature Energy, both in their surroundings and within others. They can also sense other people's individual chakra signatures, as well as the power levels of others)
  • Cosmic Awareness (Six Paths Senjutsu allowed Naruto to sense Madara's Limbo clones, which physically exist in a separate dimension and are normally impossible to perceive or sense for anyone who exists in the regular world. Hagoromo was able to keep track of Team 7's battle with Kaguya, which was taking place in several different dimensions. He also kept watch over the Shinobi world after his death while residing in the Pure Land)
  • Analytical Prediction (In Sage Mode, threat perception is massively enhanced, which allows the user to accurately sense their opponent's movements and launch perfectly timed counters. Sage Mode's danger sensing is also stated to be superior to Kurama Chakra Mode Naruto's, which is capable of alerting Naruto to incoming danger via sensing negative emotions. This ability passively alerts the user to incoming attacks from blind spots, as well as surprise attacks. It also allows the user to sense and predict the movements of significantly faster opponents)
  • Energy Manipulation & Energy Projection (Sage Mode users can utilize the Nature Energy that surrounds their body and uses it as an extension of themselves in order to extend the range and power of their attacks, essentially creating an invisible barrier of Nature Energy around themselves)
  • Limited Transmutation & Petrification (Opponents who absorb excess amounts of natural energy from him without the ability to properly balance it will subsequently be turned into a frog and, eventually, a stone toad statue)
  • Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction (Space; Six Paths Senjutsu allows its users to interact with Madara's Limbo clones, which physically exist in a separate dimension and are normally impossible to physically interact with. It also allows them to physically interact with space itself)
  • Truth-Seeker Orbs:

All previous abilities greatly enhanced plus:

  • Limited Invulnerability (Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki are impervious to all forms of Ninjutsu, with the exception of those that contain natural energy)
  • Energy Projection & Additional Limbs (With the use of Tailed Beast Chakra Arms)
  • Soul Manipulation, Non-Physical Interaction & Selective Intangibility (Soul; By coating their themselves in chakra, or by manifesting chakra arms, Rinnegan users and/or Jinchūriki are able to physically interact with souls. This extends to physically grabbing a hold of someone's soul to pull it out, pulling their own soul back in, or invading someone's inner soul and interacting with it directly. Tailed Beast Chakra Arms have also shown the ability to become intangible at the user's whim in order to bypass their target's outer defenses)
  • Immortality (Types 2 & 3; Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki can survive even while suffering from grievous injuries such as complete bisection.)
  • Multiple Selves (All Types; As the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tailed Beasts, Hagoromo houses their minds, bodies, and souls within himself)
  • Possession (The Tailed Beasts are capable of taking over the mind and body of whoever is hosting their chakra, essentially completely possessing them. This process can also be carried out more willingly, to allow the Tailed Beasts temporary control over one's body)
  • Genjutsu Nullification (Jinchūriki who have gained the cooperation of their Tailed Beast can be broken free from genjutsu with the help of their Tailed Beasts)
  • Energy Projection, Body Control & Additional Limbs (Jinchūriki are capable of producing chakra limbs that resemble those of their Tailed Beasts to aid themselves in combat, greatly improve the range and unpredictability of their attacks, and increase their maneuverability)
  • Power Bestowal (Tailed Beasts are capable of greatly empowering others by sharing their chakra with them. They can also share their own abilities with others through their chakra)

All previous abilities in base, plus:

  • Perception Manipulation, Illusion Creation, Mind Manipulation & Dream Manipulation (Hagoromo has shown himself to be immune to Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi, as he was unaffected by its usage in the past. Additionally, he even passed on that seeming immunity to Sasuke when he granted him his Rinnegan powers)
  • Deconstruction & Power Nullification (Molecular; Users of Six Paths chakra are unaffected by the effects of the Truth-Seeker Orbs, and can physically interact with them. Additionally, their attacks are also immune to these effects, and can interact with the Truth-Seeker Orbs without being nullified or erased)
  • Soul Manipulation (Users of Six Paths chakra are unaffected by the effects of the Truth-Seeker Orbs, and can physically interact with them. Characters with particularly powerful chakra and a high degree of chakra control were able to withstand having their souls extracted by engaging in a "Soul Tug-of-War". Characters on this level have also directly shown the ability to withstand direct attacks to their souls when engaged in these chakra-to-chakra clashes)
  • Madness Manipulation (Type 3; He could control the Ten-Tails's power without having his consciousness ripped apart. Additionally, housing such an enormous amount of chakra has been known to cause its host to lose their mind)
  • Possession (Controlling a Tailed Beast's power requires one to have a strong enough will to be able to ward off the Tailed Beast's own will and chakra in order to prevent them from taking over one's body and going on a rampage)
  • Fear Manipulation (Elite Shinobi have been shown to withstand being in the presence of and fighting characters who utilize their injected with bloodlust or malice-injected auras in combat)
  • Corrosion Inducement, Poison Manipulation & Corruption (Kinkaku and Ginkaku survived feeding on Kurama's flesh and chakra without dying, or succumbing to any of the negative side effects associated with his chakra, due to being direct descendants of the Sage of Six Paths)
  • Biological Manipulation, Transmutation & Madness Manipulation (Type 1; Hagoromo should possess his descendants' tolerance for Hashirama Senju's cells, since they either possess/inherited pieces of his chakra and/or a similar physical constitution. Hashirama's cells have been shown to have multiple adverse side effects to anyone who's been infected with them, which include sickness, weakness, unconsciousness, madness, being overwhelmed by his Wood Style and turning into a tree, and eventually death)
  • Adhesive Manipulation (Shinobi are capable of resisting the effects of adhesives by coating themselves in chakra)
  • Paralysis Inducement (Rinnegan users are unaffected by the binding properties of the Black Receivers)


Attack Potency: Small Planet level+ (Despite being weaker than Kaguya, he was still capable of battling her Ten Tails form alongside his brother, Hamura Ōtsutsuki. Should be superior to his old self) | At least Planet level (Should be twice as strong as before, given he absorbed and merged with the Ten Tails, who was even stronger than he was, and made its power his own as the Ten Tails Jinchūriki) | At least Small Planet level+ (At least comparable to Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Madara Uchiha, who was capable of battling against Six Paths Sage Mode Naruto. Shared his chakra and power with Naruto and Sasuke, which empowered them to the point of being able to compete with the likes of Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki)

Speed: FTL+ (Kept up with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in her Ten Tails form) | FTL+ (Should be faster than before after enhancing himself with the Ten-Tail's chakra) | FTL+ (Should be vastly above his previous states)

Lifting Strength: At least Class T (Comparable in strength to the likes of Ten-Tails Jinchūriki Obito and Madara), Class Z with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei and Telekinesis (Hurled the moon into orbit when he was weakened and nearing his death[Statistics Values 1]) | At least Class T (Stronger than before), Class Z with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei and Telekinesis (More powerful than his deathbed self) | At least Class T, Class Z with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei and Telekinesis

Striking Strength: Small Planet level+ (Capable of fighting against Kaguya, who had transformed into the Ten Tails) | At least Planet level (Comparable to his Attack Potency) | At least Small Planet level+

Durability: Small Planet level+ (Capable of holding his own in a fight against Kaguya) | At least Planet level (Should be twice as durable as before, given he absorbed the Ten Tails who is just as durable as he was) | At least Small Planet level+ (Comparable to the likes of Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki Madara Uchiha)

Stamina: Superhuman (Hagoromo was blessed with extremely powerful and large chakra reserves from birth, which he'd inherited directly from his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. His chakra reserves are so large that he can easily make use of his Sacred Tools, which are extremely draining and nearly impossible to use for even Jōnin of the highest caliber, without being impeded in any way. The Sacred Tools are so draining that they've been said to be fatal to most people, due to their extreme drain on one's chakra reserves. His powerful life-force was inherited by his direct descendants, such as the Senju and Uzumaki clans respectively, which blessed them with extremely strong strong life-force and vitality, which allowed them to survive grievous injuries and simply fight through them. This could be observed with Nagato, who's admittedly nowhere near Hagoromo's level. He was able to survive and continue fighting through severe injuries and debilitating pain, and even managed to summon the Gedo Mazo and make use of its abilities, which requires a tremendous amount of chakra due to the statue draining its user's life-force. This could also be observed through Kushina, who had recently had her Tailed Beast extracted, which is a guaranteed death sentence. Even so, she was able to survive for an extended period of time, restrain Kurama with her Adamantine Sealing Chains, erect a Kurama level barrier, and endure being impaled by Kurama long enough for Minato seal the beast and her chakra inside Naruto. Given the fact that he possesses both the powers and chakra of the likes of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and that the likes of Obito and Madara only started to reach his level upon becoming Ten-Tail Jinchūriki, Hagoromo should logically be able to replicate Madara and Hashirama's feat of fighting for a full day. Furthermore, Hagoromo is still held in a mythical regard in Kumogakure, to the point where the usage of his tools is considered an extremely difficult feat to achieve for anyone, so it's likely that he should also be capable of replicating feats on the Third Raikage's level. Moreover, the Third Raikage was able to fight Gyūki to the point where both of them collapsed from exhaustion, and Hagoromo's also far beyond the likes of Gyūki. As a result, it stands to reason that he would be capable of replicating the Third Raikage's feat of fighting for three days and three nights. Finally, he should also be comparable to Naruto and Sasuke, who were able to fight each other for many hours, even after exhausting most of their chakra beforehand) | Superhuman (With the Ten-Tails' chakra under his disposal, Hagoromo had access to the beasts nearly unlimited chakra reserves in addition to his own. The Ten-Tail's sheer chakra reserves were said to be nearly infinite. Even when it was missing the Eight and Nine Tails' chakra, which constitute most of its chakra, it was still described as having an immeasurable amount of chakra in comparison to Kurama and Naruto's)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with weapons, Tens of Meters with Truth-Seeker Orbs (They have a range of up to 70 meters; however, that limitation can be somewhat circumvented through transmuting or expanding the Orb), Tens of Meters to Thousands of Kilometers with various ranged attacks, Planetary with Six Paths Chibaku Tensei (This technique allows its users to create a moon sized planetoid) and Telekinesis (Hurled the moon into orbit. After splitting a falling meteor in half, Hagaromo sent a meteor containing half of the Polar Particles into space, and had it permanently orbit the planet), Interdimensional with his sensory abilities and Space-Time Ninjutsu

Standard Equipment:

  • Bashōsen (Banana Palm Fan)
  • Benihisago (Crimson Gourd)
  • Kohaku no Jōhei (Amber Purifying Pot)
  • Kōkinjo (Golden Canopy Rope)
  • Shichiseiken (Seven Star Sword)
  • Sword of Nunoboko
  • Book of Foundations

Intelligence: Supergenius (Ninshu's creator and other notable weapons)

Weaknesses: In base, Truth-Seeker Orbs have a maximum range of up to 70 meters, outside of which the user loses control over them. Shinra Tensei requires a 5 second recharge period between each consecutive usage of the technique. Hagoromo is a pacifist above all else, with his main motivation being the achievement of peace and order. This means he's likely to look for a peaceful resolution to most conflicts, if possible, which might limit him from using his more lethal abilities in combat as a starting move. However, he is not entirely averse to combat, as he is more than willing to step up and engage in mortal combat if it meant saving the world from cataclysmic threats such as the Ten Tails or Infinite Tsukuyomi. He would be more than willing to exercise his power if it meant protecting humanity, and the world at large. Used to be incapable of utilizing Six Paths ー Chibaku Tensei without his brother, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, as it required both of their individual seals to invoke. However, he has since gained the ability to perform the technique on his own at some point in his life, as he now possesses both the Sun and Moon seals, likely due to Hamura giving him his seal. | The removal/extraction of a Tailed Beast results in a Jinchūriki's death; however, in Hagoromo's case as a Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, this process is different due to the Gedo Statue's immense life-force keeping its host alive even after the chakra is extracted. Hagoromo is left severely weakened for several months, though. | Cannot exist for long periods of time within the physical world, as he will be shortly pulled back to the Pure Land. Additionally, he cannot manifest freely in the first place unless specific conditions are met, such as the recreation of his chakra by an Ashura or Indra reincarnate. If he gifts his chakra to another, he will be left unable to utilize chakra taxing techniques for a period of time.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Nature Transformation (性質変せいしつへん Seishitsu Henka?) At the core of Ninjutsu is the Great Changes in [Chakra] Nature. Fundamentally, there are five Chakra Natures. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth and Lightning. Fire results in Fire Style, changing the characteristics and attributes of chakra to fire. Water results in Water Style, changing the characteristics and attributes of chakra to water, and so on. There are different relationship between natures. For example, Water Style counters Fire Style, and Fire Style counters Wind Style. These changes in Chakra Nature are the foundation of all elemental Ninjutsu, their creation, and development. In addition to the five basic changes in chakra nature, there also exists Yin Style and Yang Style. Yin Style is primarily based on mental energies, and can be used to create form out of naught. It is the basis for many sub-categories and techniques, such as Genjutsu and Hiden like the Nara clan's Shadow Possession Jutsu. On the other hand, Yang Style is predicated on the user's physical energies, and can infuse life into a life-less form. Examples of Yang Style include the Akimichi clan's Multi-Size techniques.

Usually Chakra Natures are used individually and separately, when performing Fire Style one only taps into the Fire Chakra Nature. However, it is possible to activate multiple Chakra Natures simultaneously which results in an entirely new Chakra Nature. For example, Yamato can use Wood Style by activating both Water and Earth Chakra Natures at the same time. These new natures are classified as Kekkei Genkai. Hagoromo is capable of using all five basic nature transformations, in addition to Yin and Yang Styles. He has the capacity to use them separately, or to combine them for various unique effects.

  • Fire Style (とん Katon?): One of the fundamental elemental nature transformations. It is performed by molding superheated chakra inside the stomach before releasing it via the lungs and mouth. There are also variants to this in some mediums, such as gun powder, explosive tags, and chakra flow into a weapon. The produced flames carry the properties of real flames, producing scorching heat, and burning whatever they touch to ash. Concentrated chakra can also inherently produce great heat, enough to burn someone from the inside out or carve through iron.
  • Lightning Style (雷遁らいとん Raiton?): One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allow the user to generate lightning by increasing the high-frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity also can paralyze the target. While uncommon, lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Style through chakra flow for increased piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness.
  • Water Style (水遁すいとん Suiton?): One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques and allows the user to manipulate and shape surrounding water or create water without a source, such as projecting it from the mouth. This chakra nature becomes far more powerful if the user has a large water source near them, as it will both save them some chakra and increase the volume of water at their disposal.
  • Earth Style (とん Doton?): One of the basic elemental nature transformations. With Earth Style, the user can manipulate the very earth, altering its shape, size, and density. This power can be used to either increase the hardness of something in order to boost its durability, or to make something far more pliable and easy to pass through. The former can be demonstrated with techniques like the Iron Spear and the latter with techniques such as the Hiding Like a Mole Jutsu. Earth Style jutsu can also simply allow the user to manipulate the surrounding terrain as they see fit. It allows for the manipulation and generation of rocks, clay, earth, soil, and everything in between.
  • Wind Style (風遁ふうとん Fūton?): One of the five fundamental elemental nature transformations. It is performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible. Wind Style is mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deal devastating cutting and slashing damage to their target. Indeed, Wind Style is extremely effective at dealing cutting damage, and has been touted as capable of slicing apart anything. Wind Style techniques are usually performed by generating air circulation and can be enhanced through this method as well. Applying Wind Style chakra to weapons also greatly enhances their cutting power and range.
  • Gale Style (嵐遁らんとん Ranton?): Gale Style is a nature transformation Kekkei Genkai, a combination of lightning and water. It is used by several shinobi from Kumogakure, most notably Darui. Despite its name, Gale Style does not manipulate actual gales; it instead manipulates beams of electricity which flow like water. When enhanced by Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra, Gale Style can be used to create a beam of light that the user can shoot from their mouth, piercing and bisecting everything in its path, using Sage Art, Gale Style: Fang of Light.

Truth-Seeker Orbs (道玉どうだま Gudōdama?):

  • Truth-Seeking Balls are spheres of jet black, high density, and malleable chakra comprised of all five fundamental nature transformations, natural energy, as well as Yin-Yang Style. Due to being comprised of all nature transformations, as well as Yin-Yang Style, simultaneously, they are considered a Kekkei Mōra, which makes them inherently superior to Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tōta. Even prior to incorporating Yin-Yang Style, the Truth-Seeker Orbs were notably superior to Ōnoki's Particle Style, which turns things to dust on a molecular level. After incorporating Yin-Yang Style into its composition, the Truth-Seeker Orb is capable of erasing things from existence altogether, as well as completely nullify and erase all Ninjutsu it comes into contact with. This was initially observed when it was used against Edo Tensei Minato. The Truth-Seeker Orbs negated the Edo Tensei's regenerative powers, and made it so an Edo Tensei can be permanently killed. These orbs of black chakra are highly versatile and can be used for a plethora of offensive, defensive, and supplementary purposes. They could be considered the absolute pinnacle of the "Change in Chakra Form" and "Change in Chakra Nature" principles. The user can apply shape transformation to the balls to freely alter them into various shapes and sizes. The user can morph them into a multitude of supplementary shapes such as staffs, rods, and platforms to stand on. Additionally, the spheres can also wrap around the user to act as a defensive shield or be launched to serve as high-speed projectiles. The possibilities are practically endless. They are also capable of causing massive explosions by rapidly expanding their size, a lethal attack that can also damage the user's own body. At its height, the balls can even expand their size to the point of consuming an entire dimension, erasing a planet and a star, not even sparing the dimension's very space. The Truth-Seekers Orbs are also capable of changing their properties, which can be observed when they were transformed into pure energy attacks, such as the Tailed Beast Bomb Rasenshuriken or the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion for example. They can also take on various supplementary forms, such as Chakra Receivers or a metal cage.
  • Truth-Seeking Chaos Bullets (道乱弾どうらんだん Gudō Randan?): Hagoromo uses his Truth-Seeking Orbs to shoot bright blue bullets of chakra at the opponent.

Creation of All Things is an ability that allows Hagoromo to "turn fantasy into reality" and "create form out of naught" using the power of Yin-Yang Style. Yin-Yang Style is comprised of Yin Style, which governs mental energies and imagination that can create form from naught, and Yang Style, which governs physical energies that can instill life into any form created. It's from these two individual powers that all Jutsu sprung forth into existence, and in fact, all forms of Ninjutsu are considered but mere fragments of Yin-Yang Style. This ability is also considered the parent Jutsu for Izanagi, which is nothing more than a practical application of Creation of All Things. By combining both aspects of Yin-Yang Style that the Uchiha and Senju each possessed respectively, which essentially recreates Hagoromo's original power, the Izanagi can rid the user of anything disadvantageous, such as injury or death, by casting an illusion on the user and turning their unwanted reality into a dream or illusion; however, anything advantageous such as the user's own attacks remain "real". It's a Jutsu that ties reality and illusion together, and makes fantasy into a reality. Using these principles, the Sage of Six Paths was able to create many things. He was able to split the Ten Tails' chakra, its soul, into nine separate pieces. From these fragments, he was able to create the nine Tailed Beasts. He gave them nine distinct bodies, based upon legendary creatures and Yōkai he already had knowledge of in his imagination, which were inspired by Astronomy and the Star Lines game. He bestowed upon them unique physiologies, personalities, abilities, and breathed life into them in a literal sense. He also gave them emotions and the ability to empathize, which is notable because the Ten Tails had no emotions whatsoever. It was also said that Hagoromo created many other things using this technique, which likely includes his Sacred Ninja Tools. A fragment of this ability also allowed Naruto to reverse the effects of the Gate of Death and save Guy's life, create a brand new eye for Kakashi, heal Obito, and even temporarily halt his complete disintegration.

Rinnegan (りんがん?): Said to be the most powerful and majestic of the Three Great Dōjutsu. It was admired as being able to bring forth all ninjutsu. The holder of these eyes can completely master all five fundamental nature of ninjutsu. It also allows the user to use all of the Six Paths Techniques and the Outer Path, which grants the user domain over life and death.

  • Preta Path: Blocking Technique Absorption Seal (餓鬼がきどう Gakidō?): A highly advanced sealing technique capable of absorbing any chakra, regardless of any shape or nature transformation, and dispersing it within one's body by spinning the chakra within one's body in the opposite direction. Should the user get close enough to grab the opponent, the barrier can absorb chakra right out of an individual's body, effectively draining them. The user can also absorb techniques that make direct physical contact with their body, and can absorb chakra directly from someone they're physically touching as well. Extremely skilled users, such as Sasuke Uchiha, have also shown to be capable of absorbing chakra from a considerable distance, which was demonstrated when he absorbed the Tailed Beast's chakra from a considerable distance and used his Susano'o as a receiving vessel.
  • Asura Path (しゅどう Shuradō?): Allows the user to modify their bodies in a multitude of ways to aid themselves in combat. It allows the user to generate additional limbs and physical features, such as extra arms and faces. It also allows the user to modify their body and generate a plethora of different weapons and cybernetic enhancements. This includes blades, saws, missiles that home in on targets, metallic tendrils that can restrain targets, and even a hand cannon that can shoot raw chakra as an energy blast.
  • Human Path (人間道にんげんどう Ningendō?): One of the Rinnegan's most terrifying and versatile powers. Upon establishing physical contact with a target, the user is able to instantly read their mind and extract any piece of information they wish to. The Human Path is also capable of physically pulling out the souls of whomever the user makes direct contact with, instantly killing them.
  • Animal Path (ちくしょうどう Chikushōdō?): Allows the user to freely use the Summoning Jutsu on anyone or anything without the need for a pre-existing contract or a blood sacrifice. This, in essence, means that the user can freely abuse the Summoning Jutsu to various effects. The user may summon specific creatures they have under their control. They may also summon other people to themselves, acting as a form of Teleportation or BFR depending on the context. Hagoromo used this technique to summon Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and Madara Uchiha back to Earth all the way from Kaguya's root dimension.
  • Naraka Path (ごくどう Jigokudō?): Grants the user two primary abilities: interrogation and restoration, by summoning and making use of the King of Hell's abilities. The Naraka Path can also be used as a form of Sealing Jutsu, allowing its user to seal the bodies and souls of others inside the King of Hell to be summoned back at the user's discretion. The King of Hell can also be used to return the souls of those who have died at the user's hands to the world of the living, and back into their physical bodies.
    • To interrogate, the Naraka Path need only catch hold of a person, causing the King of Hell to appear before them. With the victim completely paralyzed, the Naraka Path begins questioning them. If the victim answers the user's question truthfully, they may be spared. However, if they lie, the King of Hell kills them on the spot. The King of Hell gives the user the power over life and death, and can ultimately decide their victim's fate. Meaning that they may still choose to kill their target, anyway, even if they answered truthfully.
    • The second ability the Naraka Path possessed is the ability to repair any damage. To do so, the Naraka Path has the King of Hell ingest the damaged body with its tendril-like arms into its mouth. Then, after a short time, the destroyed body will emerge from its mouth, completely rejuvenated and repaired.
  • Deva Path (天道てんどう Tendō?): Grants its user the ability to control gravity, in the form of attractive and repulsive forces. Despite their incredible power, these gravity manipulating techniques cannot be performed in rapid succession; the amount of time required to recharge after use varies depending on the scale of the technique used, five seconds being the basic minimum.
    • Banshō Ten'in (ばんしょう天引てんいん?): Is a technique that manipulates attractive force to pull matter towards the user at will. It has the same five-second limit as the Shinra Tensei. It is possible to attract multiple targets at once, causing them to collide with each other. This technique is extremely versatile, and can be used to attract opponents into one's attacks, making it very difficult to avoid getting hit with them.
    • Shinra Tensei (しん天征てんせい?): Is the Deva Path's ability to manipulate repulsive force at the user's will to push matter or techniques away. This technique essentially makes its user impervious to most physical attacks or Ninjutsu, because they can simply push them all away. When used against Ninjutsu, this technique simply causes the incoming Jutsu to dissipate. Shinra Tensei's power and range can also be adjusted by the user, and can greatly vary between pushing someone away and reducing an entire village to rubble and ash. Hagoromo famously used this technique to hurl the moon into orbit. He also used it to place the meteor containing half of the Polar Particles into a permanent orbit around the planet.
    • Chibaku Tensei (爆天星ばくてんせい?): Using this technique, the user Creates a gravity core in the form of a black sphere. That core then proceeds to use its immense gravitational pull to attract any nearby landmasses, people, and objects to its center. The attracted matter then begins to pile up around the core until it forms a spherical planetoid, trapping anyone caught in it inside. The technique's size can vary greatly depending on how much chakra the user invests into the technique. The sphere can also be enlarged after the technique's already been used, making it easy to adjust its power level depending on the target's strength. The user is capable of creating numerous cores simultaneously, making it possible to trap several targets at once or simply use the formed rock formations as a meteor shower to attack opponents on the ground. It is also possible to transform a target into the gravitational core itself, which makes it extremely difficult to escape.
    • Six Paths ー Chibaku Tensei (六道りくどう爆天星ばくてんせい Rikudō - Chibaku Tensei?): A supremely powerful Sealing Jutsu (封印ふういんじゅつ Fūinjutsu?) that has the power to seal the likes of Ten-Tails and Kaguya Otsutsuki. The technique is, in essence, an extremely empowered version of the standard Chibaku Tensei. The main difference lies in that instead of creating an orb that functions as the gravitational core, the user transforms their target into the gravitational core. The target is subsequently buried under a barrage of endless rubble until a moon-sized satellite is formed, trapping the target inside. The target is also subjected to the technique's sealing power, which shuts off all of their power and abilities, making them helpless and unable to escape by any means. This technique is activated when two people who possess the Sun and Moon seals respectively make physical contact with their intended target. This technique was originally used by Hagoromo and Hamura to seal their mother, who had transformed into the Ten-Tails. During the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War, it was once again used against Kaguya by the Hagoromo-empowered Naruto and Sasuke.
  • Amenotejikara (あめのじから?): One of Hagoromo's powers that was gifted to Sasuke through his chakra. With Amenotejikara, the user can shift themselves between spaces, causing anything currently occupying the space he targets to swap places with them. This allows the user to instantly switch their position with that of another person or object within the technique's range. It is also possible to switch the positions of other people or objects with each other. Finally, it is also possible for the user to shift themselves or another person between empty spaces.
  • Divine Thunder (あめのいかづち Amenoikazuchi?): Hagoromo brings down a bolt of thunder down on the opponent.
  • Sword of Nunoboko: Mow (ぬのぼこのけんなぎ Nunoboko no Ken: Nagi?): Hagoromo shapes his Khakkhara into the Sword of Nunoboko, coated in dark flaming chakra, and slashes the opponent.
  • Aqua Mirror Impact (すい鏡衝きょうしょう­だん Suikyōshōdan?): Hagoromo forms a mirror of water, which breaks up into small projectiles of water that are shot at the opponent.
  • Vortex Thunder Clap (すい霹靂へきれき Suika Hekireki?): Hagoromo sends a vortex of water to the opponent and adds four balls of electricity to it, shaping the twister in an electrified sphere of water.
  • Hurricane Flame Formation (風炎陣ふうえんじん­ Gufūenjin?): Hagoromo surrounds himself in raging winds, which he promptly ignites.
  • Earth-Tearing Erupting Flame (裂噴炎れつふんえん Chiretsu Fun'en?): Hagoromo sends out electricity to the ground, causing chunks of it to rip up, and flames to erupt from the cracks.
  • Drilling Hand of Sage Lightning (仙雷せんらい穿せん Senrai no Sente?): Hagoromo's Ultimate Jutsu; Hagoromo uses his Truth-Seeking Orbs to knock his opponent into the air and then uses Earth Style to create a large landscape where the opponent lands. He then gathers Senjutsu-enhanced lightning into his hand to thrust at the opponent, releasing so much energy that the entire landscape melts.
