Hello, I'm Princeharris1993 and I want to give my take on the mysterous Kekkei Mōra.

A Kekkei Mōra (血継網羅, Literally meaning: Bloodline Encompassing) is an advanced branch of jutsu unique to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and her direct bloodline.

So far, our understanding of a Kekkei Mora is that it is a bloodline type unique to Kaguya, since no one else has displayed use of such a thing. Well, my explanation of it will hopefully give new insight into what it may very well be.

Here's what I believe a Kekkei Mōra truly is, as well as why I believe so.

My definition of a Kekkei Mōra: A unique bloodline that has given birth to another, devolved bloodline or ability. What makes a Kekkei Mōra unique from an ability derived from a more basic ability is that its all genetic, and not actually a result of simply using a technique or combination of techniques to yield a new, more improved one.

First off, to understand what it is, you have to define exactly what the name "Kekkei Mōra" means.

"Kekkei" means "Bloodline" based off all of its Naruto Translations, or at least when used with its specific kanji, "血継". A bloodline is a unique trait or ability instilled within the blood of a specific being or race.

blood·line /ˈblədˌlīn/Submit noun an animal's set of ancestors or pedigree, typically considered with regard to the desirable characteristics bred into it. a set of ancestors or line of descent of a person.

"Mōra" means "Encompassing", based off the Naruto translation of it, or at least when used with its specific kanji, "網羅" We get "Encompassing" from the word "Encompass", as defined below:

en·com·pass /inˈkəmpəs,enˈkəmpəs/  verb gerund or present participle: encompassing 1. Surround and have or hold within.

Within genes are unique abilities, hence why shinobi have tried and actually obtained DNA from Hashirama to gain his coveted "Wood Release" kekkei genkai, or DNA that Kabuto obtained from members of the Sound Four as examples. Every one of Kaguya's Kekkei Mōra have devolved into a certain Kekkei Genkai or ability, excluding one that I will explain soon. Below is a list of Kekkei Mōra as well as Kekkei Genkai or abilities that resulted from them.

For starters, ALL of Kaguya's Kekkei Mōra devolve through genetics into a lower, but highly similar ability.


 * Byakugan - It first appeared as a Kekkei Mōra within Kaguya herself (If I'm correct). Its the only "exception" I mentioned earlier that I'll expand on now. I believe its a Kekkei Mōra because it likely gave birth to the All-Killing Ash Bones technique used by Kaguya. Hamura, later in life awakened the Tenseigan, which is an "evolution" by combining genes of 2 different clans, hence, likely why its not a Kekkei Mōra.

I also came to this conclusion because I believe, for several reasons, that the Rinnegan itself is a Kekkei Mōra for the same reason.


 * All-Killing Ash Bones - Kaguya's unique ability to weaponize her bone structure to produce projectiles capable of attacking the calcium within the enzymes in cells, causing them to disintegrate into ash, hence its name.

This technique would eventually devolved to give rise to the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai of the Kaguya Clan. Both abilities are Bloodline Related.


 * Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack - Kaguya's unique ability that allows her to load chakra into her palm and project it in extraordinary numbers to cause massive shock waves on impact with the target. When used with her Byakugan, it can become the strongest offensive ability.

This technique would later devolve to become the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm technique used by the Hyūga Clan.

Both abilities can be used from a distance, are seemingy used from, stem from, or benefit from use of the Byakugan, and are seemingly bloodline related (Though they are taijutsu attacks and can probably be without the Byakugan itself (active or missing)).


 * Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball - Kaguya's unique ability to create an orb of chakra composed of all the nature transformations, including Yin Release, Yang Release and Yin-Yang Release. Unlike its derived ability, it can be created from nothing, and seemingly lacks any drawbacks on numbers, and weaknesses.

This technique would later devolve to become the Truth-Seeking Ball technique used by Six Paths Senjutsu users, Tenseigan users and those who become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.


 * Rinne Sharingan - It is the progenitor of the Rinnegan and Sharingan.

This bloodline would later devolve to become the Rinnegan.


 * Rinnegan - The characteristic eyes of the Sage of the Six Paths himself, whom it also appeared within as a Kekkei Mōra.

This bloodline would later devolve to become the Sharingan.

And last but not least, the most interesting one that furthers my beliefs considerably.


 * Yomotsu Hirasaka - Kaguya's unique technique that allowed her to rend the fabric of space-time itself, allowing for instantaneous teleportation via entering and exiting the portal. It also allows one to overlap the ridges of the current dimension with the destination dimension for a form of defense.

This ability would later devolve to become Kamui.
 * Kamui - A powerful Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu that allows for unique abilities, Teleportation and Intangibility. By focusing the left eye on a target and modifying the barrier space, the user can teleport a target or themselves to another space or dimension. Using the right eye, the user can overlap the current dimension with that of the techniques dimension, allowing for a defense in the form of intangibility. Using both eyes, the user can link any 2 different dimensions for instantaneous teleportation via a portal in space-time.

Kamui's teleportation is inferior to that of Yomotsu Hirasaka's because using Kamui, one cannot teleport themselves or a target to another location within the same dimension without switching dimensions first (as far as we've seen. Correct me if I'm wrong please).

As stated in its databook entry: "If one spends a lot of time and trains one's chakra over and over, this technique can be invoked".

Kamui Databook Entry

This also lends credibility to my claims, as all Mangekyō Sharingan abilities are supposed to be unique, excluding Susanoo, though according to the databook, Kamui can be invoked, seemingly in any Mangekyō Sharingan, just as obtaining the Double Mangekyō gives rise to Susanoo.

Why the Tenseigan IS NOT a Kekkei Mōra The Tenseigan is not a Kekkei Mōra because its the result of a fusion of the genes of two different clans, the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki genes fusing together. Because Hyūga genes are just diluted genes recombining with Ōtsutsuki genes from which they descended, to form a more advanced eye using the Byakugan as a base, to form the Tenseigan, it is reason to believe why Kishi didn't classified the Tenseigan as a Kekkei Mōra. Simply Put, the Tenseigan is evolution and not devolution.

With this, it conclude my thread and sorry if I used a lot of explanation, as I tend to suffer from verbosity; wordiness.

I hope some others can shed light on this subject as well as post their view on the subject matter. Any input would be great, and please no bashing.
