That being said, i find it weird that extremely powerful abilities like Rinnegan aren't considered Kekkei Tota, so maybe KKT is a name exclusive to elemental natures? The fact that Hiruzen identifies Obito's Truth-Seeking Balls as "beyond kekkei tōta" because they contain more natures seems to imply that's the case, but then all of Kaguya's techniques (even seemingly basic ninjutsu) being labelled kekkei mōra implies otherwise. Hiruzen's statement also carries the implication that the balls are inherently superior to kekkei tōta, which are inherently superior to kekkei genkai, yet the Rinnegan, Wood Release, and even Mangekyō Sharingan are treated as though they are more powerful than Dust Release. So essentially, it seems kind of arbitrary which genetic traits get categorized under which names.
