Background / History
Ryushiki was the posthumous son of Ōtsutsuki Chuanlong, creator of the Eight Inner Gates. His birth was delayed for millennia during a period of conflict over Chuanlong’s descendants, and he later spent a thousand years imprisoned in Dragon Palace City. He emerged with immense Chakra and the Rinne Tenseigan, but his power made the higher houses fear him rather than accept him. 867 901
Although he possessed exceptional strength, Ryushiki was originally treated as an outcast because of his Branch Family origin. After the death of his friend Tensato and a period of isolation by the Heaven-Piercing River, Ubiji intervened, cleared the charges against him, and accepted him as a disciple. Ryushiki was subsequently promoted to the Main House. 904 905
Under Ubiji’s guidance, Ryushiki developed into both a combatant and an inventor. His rivalry with Ōtsutsuki Sana became a major source of growth, while his contact with human suffering led him to seek ways to reduce the Ōtsutsuki’s dependence on Chakra Fruits and the destruction of lower worlds. 907 913 914
Ryushiki eventually served Second Princess Huiyue in exchange for the Ten-Tails she provided him. Rather than consume the Divine Tree Chakra Fruit awarded for his contributions, he gave it to Huiyue, choosing clan stability and her political survival over his own advancement. 868 919
During the Millennial Calamity, Ryushiki entered Mitsuki Country to avenge his sworn family members and destroy Yu’s Ten-Tails. Despite overwhelming the combined forces opposing him, he was ultimately defeated after Sana’s Sun-Chasing Bow carried him into the sun. He accepted death alongside Ten Evils, then remained active through his Dragon’s Karma. 930 962
Appearance
Ryushiki was notably small and thin in youth, standing only 1.49 meters tall even with shoes. His frail appearance contrasted sharply with the immense Chakra and pressure he could release. 901 906
- Possesses the Rinne Tenseigan. 867 919
- Can assume a small, horned koi form through Auspicious Power. 908
- Manifested white Six Paths-style ritual robes, a black halo, and thirty-six Truth-Seeking Orbs after absorbing Ten Evils. 915
- Later used a single-eye Rinne Tenseigan Chakra Mode after losing his left eye. 959
Personality
Ryushiki initially disliked fighting for slaughter and believed strength should be used to protect oneself and others. He mourned Tensato despite their conflict, spared Isshiki after learning Torashiki and Shinshiki might need help, and sought methods that could reduce the Ōtsutsuki’s exploitation of lower worlds. 904 913 919
His compassion existed beside severe pragmatism. During his war with Yu, he was willing to sacrifice clansmen if destroying Yu’s Ten-Tails required it, and he retaliated brutally against those he believed had harmed his sworn family. 930 933
Ryushiki is highly intelligent, technically creative, and patient enough to pursue solutions over centuries. However, he is also proud, easily irritated by insults about his stature, and inclined to treat Fudouni Fate as a tool despite its resentment toward him. 565 955 1148
Abilities & Skills
Rinne Tenseigan
Ryushiki’s Rinne Tenseigan is the foundation of his Six Paths abilities, Chakra Mode, and multiple Shikigami-associated ocular techniques. He awakened it without consuming a Divine Tree Chakra Fruit. 867 915
- Manifested a Chakra Mode stated to be three times stronger than Yu’s comparable Rinne Tenseigan Chakra Mode. 959
- Created and controlled Truth-Seeking Orbs after becoming Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. 915
- Could nullify Isshiki’s Sukunahikona and easily break free from the Heavenly Pillar’s restraints. 919
- Lost his left eye and later fought with a single-eye Chakra Mode. 956 959
Yamato Takeru
Yamato Takeru is Ryushiki’s gigantic bronze Chakra warrior, comparable to Susanoo but distinct in its autonomy. 906
- Caught a Ten-Tails’ Tailed Beast Bomb and redirected it into the beast’s mouth. 906
- Automatically attacks targets that harbor hostility toward Ryushiki. 906
- Can manifest a Shikigami Form capable of fighting Sana’s Susanoo: Shikigami Form on a colossal scale. 916
- Was assessed as having planet-destroying power, making direct confrontation strategically undesirable. 925
Fudouni Fate
Fudouni Fate is an ocular Shikigami ability that allows Ryushiki to evade attacks with discernible trajectories through quantum transmission. 925 955
- Allowed him to escape attacks that appeared unavoidable, including an eight-Tailed-Beast-Bomb convergence attack. 954
- Transfers him through momentary gaps in an attack pattern rather than relying on ordinary physical movement. 955
- Requires enormous Chakra expenditure when used against dense, sustained attacks. 955
- Failed against Shock Release: Dimensional Quake because the attack left no available space for evasion. 960
- Its Shikigami resented Ryushiki for sealing it for a thousand years and demanded compensation before maximizing its output. 955
Pinye Heqiming
Pinye Heqiming creates an automatic cultivation clone with the same talent as Ryushiki. 915 916
- The clone has no self-awareness, fatigue, distractions, or combat ability. 916
- Cultivates according to preset instructions and synchronizes its progress with the original in real time. 915
- Enabled Ryushiki to pursue Diamond Body and Infinite Sage Art cultivation across fifteen hundred years without personally devoting all of that time to training. 916
Ōmononushi
Ōmononushi is a Rinne Tenseigan ocular technique that creates existing objects from nothing through Chakra expenditure. 1015
- Normally follows equivalent exchange: the Chakra cost must match the created object’s value. 1015
- Its awakened Shikigami form no longer follows ordinary equivalent exchange, instead operating by the principle of “casting a brick to attract jade.” 1015
Diamond Body and Sage Arts
Ryushiki cultivated the Diamond Body alongside Six Paths, Limitless, and Infinite Sage Arts. 915 925
- The Diamond Body has ten levels, each increasing its effect tenfold. 915
- His perfected body could endure techniques that bypassed conventional defenses, though prolonged Amaterasu and Zengpo Jiali damage eventually weakened it. 950 956
- His Chakra vastly exceeded Ten Evils’ Chakra; Ubiji described the Ten-Tails as “icing on the cake” for him rather than his primary source of strength. 675
- Infinite Sage Art exponentially amplifies Chakra through repeated integration with natural energy. 915
- Its output depends heavily on environmental natural energy; Ryushiki stated that Mitsuki Country allowed him to display less than one-tenth of its full power. 1013
Combat Techniques
- Dragon’s Claw — Destroyed Yu’s Yata Mirror. 930
- Dragon Snipe Kill / Dragon Snipe Chain Kill — Finger-fired attacks capable of piercing Yu’s head repeatedly and previously used to kill Madara. 930 955
- Dark Prison — A black spherical prison that immobilizes targets and blocks their vision. 933
- Dragon Abyss Palm — A powerful palm technique used to erase large-scale ninjutsu and contest Shock Release: Dimensional Quake. 959 961
- Tiger-Subduing Arhat Fist — A close-range barrage that shattered Taketamayorihime-no-Mikoto after 1,767 strikes. 955
- Dragon Blade: Sky Severance — An elastic light blade thrown to strike targets after they evade his initial attack. 961
- Asura Path replacement arm — A mechanical prosthetic created after Kamui removed his left arm and the corresponding portion of his soul. 956
Creations and Artifacts
- Elixir Release — Refines Chakra into pills that heal injuries, grant power, and extend life; inferior to Divine Tree Chakra Fruits. 565 868
- Karma — A reincarnation system designed to let Ōtsutsuki survive beyond their normal lifespan through vessels. 868 919
- Divine Revelation — A method of gathering faith from lower worlds as an alternative to indiscriminate slaughter. 919
- Myoken Divine Wheel — A replicable treasure capable of creating weapons according to the user’s will. 565 919
- Red-Glow Fishing Rod and Basket — Chakra-catching and storage tools discarded by Ryushiki in Dragon Palace City, later claimed by Urashiki. 565
- Heavenly Totem — Blocks long-range ocular techniques. 914
- Heaven’s Dance Floor — Invokes techniques through rhythmic dancing. 914
- Heaven’s Ruin Blade — A sword-focused artifact with exceptional cutting power. 914
- Heaven’s Wrath Fang — Increases attack power through anger. 914
- Heaven Wine Gourd, Bubble Tea Teapot, and Heavenly Fragrance Pot — Treasure tools that respectively create endless wine, tea that dispels malice, and any named dish. 913
Relationships
- Ubiji — Master and mentor who rescued Ryushiki from Branch Family persecution, trained him, and later became his opponent during the rebellion. 904 905 920
- Ōtsutsuki Sana — Long-standing rival, fellow disciple, and lover; their competition drove both of their growth. 907 916 921
- Ten Evils — Ryushiki’s Ten-Tails partner. They cultivated mutual understanding over ten years and remained together for roughly 1,590 years. 915 962
- Torashiki — Sworn younger brother whose Chakra meridians Ryushiki reconstructed, allowing him to become a powerful taijutsu fighter. 868
- Shinshiki — Family member whose ancient bloodline curse Ryushiki secretly tried to cure; her misunderstanding of his sacrifices contributed to later conflict. 868
- Second Princess Huiyue — Political patron and possessive superior. Ryushiki gave her his Divine Tree Chakra Fruit and accepted ten tasks to repay her gift of Ten Evils. 868 919
- Tiansha Dou — Ryushiki’s first true friend, whose kindness ended Ryushiki’s isolation after Dragon Palace City. 901
- Urashiki — Former follower who benefited from Ryushiki’s discarded artifacts but concealed crucial information and later betrayed his trust. 410 948
- Yu (Uchiha Riu) — Former enemy who defeated Ryushiki, obtained his Dragon’s Karma, and later cultivated under his guidance. 962 1013
Story Role / Major Arcs
Dragon’s Past
Ryushiki’s backstory reveals his imprisonment, ostracism, adoption by Ubiji, training beside Sana, acquisition of Ten Evils, and development into one of Takamagahara’s greatest prodigies. His inventions establish him as an ideological alternative to the Ōtsutsuki’s traditional reliance on Chakra Fruit cultivation. 867 901 915 919
Millennial Calamity
Ryushiki serves as the central enemy confronting Yu and the allied shinobi. He defeats Madara, counters coordinated sealing and ocular techniques, survives decapitation, and forces the battlefield into a prolonged war of attrition before his eventual defeat. 930 933 951 962
Dragon’s Karma
After his physical death, Ryushiki’s consciousness remains available through Dragon’s Karma. He agrees to become Yu’s host under conditions, teaches him the Diamond Body method, grants him Pinye Heqiming, and transfers Ten Evils into Yu’s body. 962 1013
Takamagahara Campaign
Ryushiki later guides Riu through Takamagahara and toward Ubiji’s former residence at High-Heaven Grain Spirit Peak, where Infinite Sage Art can be cultivated. His knowledge of the land, its defenders, and its natural-energy environment becomes strategically vital. 1084 1085
