@Ultimadude that’s not how genetics work, if the whiskers were passed on from naruto himself then they both would have had 6 whiskers also, since the information for whiskers would be on a specific gene so it would have resulted in his offsprings either having whiskers or not having whiskers, the number wouldn’t have changed. It is more logical that it is in direct relation to kuruma’s saturation.

I took what Momoshiki said to mean that ootsutsukis can transform each other into literal chakra fruit and eat them thereby consuming all their power/chakra, whilst humans can only procreate and have zero control over how much of their power/chakra they pass on to their offspring also humans can only pass on power to their offspring whilst ootsutsuki clan members can receive power chakra from any other clan member.
