I first want to emphasize that a) 50 chapters is not a long time, and b) just because something has not been explained does not mean it never will be.

And if we go by precedent again, TSB will be put in its place as, at the very least, a placeholder until we learn more. I find that a reasonable compromise, considering it's been 4 chapters/a month since Kekkei Mōra has been introduced. The actual precedent is to create a placeholder. Iron Sand was not the Third Kazekage's kekkei genkai, so an article called "magnetic chakra" was created as a placeholder until the actual kekkei genkai was named. That would be the correct route here; create an article for the as-yet-unnamed nature type. This article would also encompass all the non-"ball" content that the Truth-Seeking Ball article currently covers.

50 chapters is a very long time for a jutsu of unknown origin to go without explanation. It's not the longest, but it certainly is unusual. It's been over a year since Kishimoto introduced TSB and we haven't seen anything else like it.

Black Zetsu's statement regarding the nature of TSB suggests it is its own root ability. What evidence is there to suggest it is not is own root ability. Are you suggesting that the Gudōdama, which at some point have been suggested to contain a new dimension, are simply a jutsu in the same vein the Dust Release example?

And if we were to give it a placeholder name, what would call it?
