At this point, someone might have asked: didn't Naruto also carry the blood of the Sage of Six Paths, a descendant of the Ōtsutsuki Clan? Traced back to its origins, he had Otsutsuki blood too.
But that bloodline had gone native!
Kaguya had given birth to two sons on her own, but both of her sons had children with ordinary women from the Shinobi World.
Then generation after generation of their descendants had married and had children with people from the Shinobi World.
After a thousand years, that bloodline had long since been diluted beyond recognition.
The Uzumaki Clan's immense vitality, the Senju Clan's powerful physiques, the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan...
All of these could be seen as different yet equally dazzling "flowers" that bloomed when Otsutsuki blood took root in the soil of the Shinobi World and mingled with local elements.
To Naruto, the Shinobi World's system of abilities was one where a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought competed.
Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Senjutsu, kekkei genkai, kekkei tōta, and even all manner of secret arts and forbidden jutsu...
Their origins might have been traceable to the Otsutsuki, but their development, evolution, refinement, and countless applications had long since surpassed the original scope of "divine techniques" or "dōjutsu." Although they lacked the power of divine techniques, Ninjutsu was more versatile.
Naruto even believed that the Ōtsutsuki Clan's seemingly lofty "divine techniques" and "dōjutsu" were not necessarily more useful than "Ninjutsu," honed through the wisdom and combat experience of countless Ninja.
The Otsutsuki power system often seemed simple and crude, dependent on talent and bloodline, while the Ninjutsu system placed greater emphasis on skill, research, combinations, and innovation.
Moreover, in Naruto's eyes, the Ōtsutsuki Clan had another fatal flaw: they were deeply set in their
