"Moreover, the Ōtsutsuki Clan's techniques for controlling the Divine Tree are already highly refined..."
The thought of all the ways Ōtsutsuki bloodlines could suppress the Divine Tree made Hyuga Kagami's expression grow increasingly grave.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan's Rinnegan could easily control Tailed Beasts and the "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path," while bloodline power containing Divine Tree traits could easily suppress Tailed Beasts.
Even when the bloodline's purity had degraded to the level of "Wood Release" and the "Sharingan," it could still manipulate the Tailed Beasts born from the Divine Tree.
"Wood Release" could easily bind and seal Tailed Beasts while absorbing their chakra. Even without becoming a Jinchuriki, one could turn a Tailed Beast into their own "battery."
The Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular powers could control Tailed Beasts, while a complete Susanoo could absorb their power and combine with it to form the Majestic Attire Susanoo, greatly increasing both its power and endurance.
In other words, whether it was the body representing Yang Release or the ocular powers representing Yin Release, either one alone possessed an inherent suppressive advantage over the Divine Tree and its derivatives.
Moreover, this suppression was innate. As long as one's bloodline was pure enough, there was no need for study or training at all.
That meant the Ōtsutsuki Clan had integrated methods of suppressing the Divine Tree into their own bloodline, turning them into instinct. This was undoubtedly proof of technological maturity, showing that the Ōtsutsuki Clan understood the Divine Tree's properties inside and out.
Therefore, there was no need to doubt it: the Ōtsutsuki Clan definitely possessed more than one Divine Tree—or rather, they definitely had more than one Ten-Tails!

Immediately afterward, the shifting sand that formed Shukaku's body collapsed
