However, i have to admit i forgot that Deidara made clay animations and Onoki rock golems, so i was wrong about needing Sage Mode to create wood golem/dragon/buddha. I guess it would use the same principles as puppetry to control their creations.

Dimension Creator wrote: I like the idea of Asura and Indra being the ancestors of many different clans To be honest, i think this is the case in the Manga already. Quite a few things seem related to the sage, e.g. Kinkaku and Ginkaku were thought to be related to the Sage despite being neither Senju nor Uchiha. And it seems that between Indra and Ashura there was quite a bit of time before actual clans were formed. I simply think the Uchiha formed to preserve the Sharingan and the Senju to preserve Wood Release. Dimension Creator wrote: As we all know Hagoromo gave Asura his blessing and I thought all of a sudden one day "Wouldn't it have been cool if his blessing was also inheritable?". I've seen cool ideas about this that i have to admit are not my own. Basically, Ashura had many powers thanks to this blessing and his various transmigrants have different aspects of this power (rather than purely wood release). It seems Ashura was Kurama's jinchuriki (which may have been his first true source of power) and so Naruto is "full circle".

I personally think Kishi missed a great opportunity to relate to Kurama via Ashura. IE Naruto briefly sees Kurama befriending Ashura, being sealed to protect him from Indra and ultimately fighting alongside Ashura. As Ashura and Indra kill each other Kurama is reconstituted in a new world at war via Ninjutsu and finds that most humans have become hostile to him, which is the origin of his hatred. This vision could be when Naruto defeats Kurama in his mental space.

Lastly, i think Kishimoto made a really cool concept with Transmigration, but sadly there wasn't enough time to elaborate. In hindsight, the entire series could've been written around it. other shows that did something like this (e.g. the concept behind Avatar: The Last Airbender) spent quite a bit of time on this. This is probably my biggest problem with the Transmigration Subplot: it deserved more time, just as the various Jinchuriki deserved more time. Rather than power from Hagoromo, i definitely would've given Naruto and Sasuke their full Transmigrant powers in order to fight Madara. More on that later, i think next post will be the one that connects what i said previously into the story, to show how i would've dealt with power, powercreep and the story. Dimension Creator wrote: It is my theory that Kaguya, and all jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, have all chakra nature kekkai genkai and a lot of other kekkai genkai as well. It's definitely implied by Black Zetsu that she has them. However comparing e.g. Madara to Obito as Juubi Jinchuriki, it seems that different bodies react differently to the Juubi's power and so not everything may manifest.
