That was another back door I was going to take on trying to crack down what it truly is. It could've been Mu's clan's Hiden that he under special circumstances taught Onoki or something. Maybe they are in fact related, and Muu's words of "passing down the secrets of Dust Release" to Onoki weren't as cryptic as originally thought. Yeah there's one giant hole in my theory and that's the word "kekkei." All of this would be a near moot point if that wasn't part of the title, but because it is, you always are having to question any theory you come up with that tries to separate the two. I just find it really hard to reconcile the non-relative relation of tota with the clear relative relation of kekkei genkai, even though there are plenty of kekkei genkai that don't have a clearly defined familial relationship.
