Or what would happen if one use preta path on TSB (and the list is quite long). Rinnegan isn't immune to visual genjutsu, that's just a fan assumption. The entire point of IT is that it's light shines through everything, whereas Sasuke's susanoo uniquely blocked it. If the Rinnegan as half of the requirement to undo IT can block it's light, it's logical that TSB's can block it as well. And since Edo Tensei are not affected it's clear that other jutsu may exist that are impervious to it.

I believe it could be another clan descended from kaguya of which jiraiya is a part or it could be some tech taught at mount myoboku. I don't know, but i have serious doubts that it's a special ability. But just as jiraiya disliked Sage Mode because it made him ugly, perhaps Tsunade liked her hair too much too use it. She did use ninjutsu to look prettier after all. Alternatively, she may never have been in a situation where she needs it.

Presumably he did some act that made him famous. Judging from Kakashi, Sakumo was likely a genius ninja.

The Sannin became famous because they withstood Hanzo's deadly poison. THe 4th war reveals that not even hanzo was immune to it, but the Sannin took the attack apparently without any aids, tools or ninjutsu, which is why it was such a big deal. Dimension Creator What kekkai genkai nature releases do you dislike? To be clear, it's not the KKG itself but their rather strange elemental composition. Furthermore, i hate Wood Release being so strong that it's practically a Kekkei Tota. I would explicitly attribute some of Wood Release's powers to other abilities used in conjunction, e.g. Yang Release to form trees (pure wood release would be dead wood), Sage Mode to form plants (e.g. the pollen), and Sealing Jutsu to drain chakra and control Biju. His wood golems and dragons would be Sage Mode animation. Thus, hashirama's wood release would be used to channel a series of powers.

Elemental combinations: I would make Blast release Fire + Lightning. (two energy-based releases creating a stronger one) In it's place, Earth + lightning would be Metal release. (Earth purified by lighting. Metal lacks earth's life-giving properties and is stronger but also ductile) Furthermore, Wind + Lightning would be Magnet release. (wind is "invisible" but exerts a force. Magnetism being the "pure", massless form of this) It's current combo, Earth + Wind, would probably be Glass/Crystal Release.

The finalized Biju list would thus be: (in order of tails) 1: Magnet, 2: Scorch, 3: Glass, 4:Lava, 5:Boil, 6:Ice, 7:Metal. 8:Storm. 9: Explosion.

Kekkei Tota:
 * Dust release is already known, Fire + Air + Earth, "turns things to dust" AKA atomizes.
 * Light release would be Fire + Lightning + Air. Essentially, raw energy. travels in a straight line. Probably wouldn't use it, but nevertheless this is what it would be and i mentioned Light before.
 * Black Rods: I would classify them as a combination of the kekkei genkai Metal Release and Shikotsumyaku. They show the various powers seen in the manga, and are the Kekkei Tota of the Gedo Statue and Juubi. The user's skeleton is enhanced to be metallic and thus extremely durable. Explained as using metal release to form metal and using something akin to Shikotsumyaku to bind it into bone. Conducts chakra and maintains a connection to the owner.
 * Red Rinnegan (has two rows of tomoe, IE Sasuke's eye but red. perhaps Sharinnegan?): intermediate form in between Sharingan and Rinne Sharingan, with abilities above Mangekyou but more of a "sidegrade" of the Rinnegan. Has the four Mangekyou styles in one: Body enhancement (Perfect Susanoo), Special Summoning (e.g. Amaterasu which summons black flames), Spacetime Ninjutsu (e.g. Kamui) and Genjutsu (e.g. tsukuyome (time/space control)). Indra's final eye that Sasuke inherits rather than his weir rinnegan. Sasuke's Amenotejikara is his Spacetime ninjutsu.
 * rinnegan: works similar but has special instances of the power (since Nagato is not an Uchiha he can't use Perfect susanoo, uses Asura path in stead). Genjutsu is sacrificed for Deva path. Summoning is King of hell. Animal Path is an extension of the Six Paths of Pain jutsu + summoning. Animal is King of Hell's soul control. Preta is Spacetime.

Truth Seeking Balls would be classified as a 5-element Kekkei Mora, a "complete nature transform" of Earth (hardening), Water (shape-changing), Wind (freely moving), Fire (chemically changing) and Lightning (energy emitting or absorbing), essentially a perfect proto-matter. Gudodama in their black form are weak but versatile, and by nature or shape transforming can fit to block the attack or create a new one. One source of Gudodama is from the Juubi (whose Kekkei Mora is split among the nine tailed beasts). Gudodama are linked to Biju and Shadowclones by utilizing similar principles: a large amount of chakra is pumped into a TSB that maintains a link and is controlled by the owner. A major difference with the Manga would be that only elemental releases are erased whereas everything else is blocked. Furthermore, when outside the link range, TSBs rot away and are relatively quickly restored to the owner. When destroyed or transported to another dimension, this wait-time is longer. Regeneration requires quite a bit of energy to be poured into it again, making TSB's costly and luxurious, but also potent offensive and defensive platforms.

aaand i wrote a wall of text again. Damn this always happens.
