So slightly off topic, but does anyone know when Kishimoto decided to add aliens to his story? I have to say that it was pretty confusing and weird. I'm glad Pierrot is trying to make a bit more sense of it, but seriously what was Kishi thinking?

And I was under the impression that the tree was growing on Earth before (something about it soaking up years of blood from human wars), but it does kind of make more sense for it to have been alien. I kind of think it would make even more sense if they said Kaguya had planted it to harvest Chakra, but we'll see where this goes.
