Unraveling Naruto's Mysterious Kekkei Mora

Kekkei mora are a unique set of techniques and abilities that are linked to the bloodline of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is the originator of all chakra on Earth. These abilities are distinct from, yet share some similarities with, kekkei genkai in Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto. Almost all of Kaguya's powers can be categorized as kekkei mora, and they are significantly more powerful than the abilities possessed by most shinobi. Her powers predate much of the main series, and she is considered the most formidable adversary faced by the shinobi world. Some of her abilities were also inherited by her children, Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, indicating that kekkei mora and kekkei genkai are not entirely identical in their categorization. Kaguya's Byakugan and Rinne Sharingan, as well as Hagoromo's Rinnegan, fall under the classification of kekkei mora, unlike other instances of these dojutsu which are kekkei genkai. This suggests that the concept of kekkei mora is linked to the Otsutsuki clan. The term kekkei mora literally translates to "bloodline encompassing," and includes some of the most powerful techniques in Naruto. These abilities are also connected to the powers obtained by consuming chakra fruit, which contains the genetic information and life force of a planet's biosphere. Therefore, the ability to manifest kekkei mora may also be linked to the God Tree itself.

What Is A Kekkei Mora?

Kekkei mora are a set of powerful abilities that Kaguya Otsutsuki and her bloodline possess, which can be cast without the need for hand signs. These abilities are considered the predecessors to Ninshu, ninjutsu, and all other forms of chakra manipulation seen throughout Naruto. While some abilities such as the Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinne Sharingan, and the Rinnegan can be either kekkei genkai or kekkai mora depending on the user, others such as Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones, Amenominaka, or her Yomotsu Hirasaka exclusively fall under the latter category. Many kekkei mora also share similarities with kekkei genkai used by shinobi from all over the world, such as Kimimaro Kaguya's Shikotsumyaku, which is likely derived from Kaguya's own All-Killing Ash Bones, allowing her descendants from the Kaguya clan to modify their skeletal structure and weaponize it.

Kekkei mora provide users with immense advantages in battle when used strategically. These techniques are incredibly diverse, powerful, and versatile, surpassing any other jutsu or family of techniques in Naruto. They allow users to combine all five nature transformations, possess incredible visual prowess, modify their bodies, teleport, cast genjutsu, manipulate the Ten-Tails and the God Tree, and much more. Kekkei mora are superior to most other ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, or even senjutsu techniques in the franchise, providing users with a significant upper hand in any combat situation they may encounter. However, it is likely that kekkei mora require an enormous amount of chakra, far beyond what ordinary shinobi can muster.

What Are The Different Types Of Kekkei Mora

Kekkei mora encompass a variety of abilities beyond ocular powers, such as genjutsu techniques, space-time ninjutsu, taijutsu techniques, and nature transformations. The Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball, for instance, combines all five basic chakra natures as well as Yin-Yang Release into a single form that can be molded into any shape according to the user's wishes. Although these powerful balls are made of black chakra and have the potential to reshape the world, they require tremendous amounts of chakra to create and cannot be used repeatedly in quick succession. Other kekkei mora include the All-Killing Ash Bones, which harden a user's bones to create projectiles that reduce their targets to ash upon impact, and Kaguya's space-time ninjutsu, Amenominaka and Yomotsu Hirasaka, which allow the Otsutsuki to manipulate dimensions at will.

Kekkei mora Taijutsu techniques include Kaguya's Rabbit Hair Needle, which fires hardened hair fibers as projectiles with the aid of the Byakugan. Another technique is the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, which enhances her punches with chakra to create massive fists that leave no room or time for escape, capable of damaging a Six Paths Chakra enhanced Complete Body - Susanoo. The Infinite Tsukuyomi also falls under kekkei mora since it is the most powerful of all genjutsu. Additionally, God: Nativity of a World of Trees is a method of spreading the roots of the God Tree to capture those caught within the Infinite Tsukuyomi and harvest their life force to create a new chakra fruit.
