NEW Otsutsuki REVEALED in Boruto Manga

We’re about to meet several new Otsutsuki. And here’s why that’s going to happen.

There used to be this idea that Momoshiki and Kinshiki were the final echoes of the ancient Otsutsuki race. After their fall, it seemed like the shinobi world would finally know peace. But that belief turned out to be nothing more than an illusion—a sweet lie hiding a harsh truth.

All of it was just the calm before a storm of truly cosmic proportions. And no, it doesn’t all revolve around the mysterious figure of Shibai. The Boruto storyline has been hinting for a while that what we’ve seen so far is just the vanguard—the visible part of a much bigger threat. The Otsutsuki aren’t just a family. They’re a galactic empire made up of countless clans.

To them, Earth is just one of many crop fields. And now that the veil of secrecy is starting to lift, one thing’s clear: the coming conflict won’t be a local skirmish. It’s shaping up to be a full-scale war of worlds.

Empire of Clans: A New Look at the Otsutsuki Threat

To really understand the scale of the threat looming over us, we’ve got to completely rethink what the Otsutsuki even are. For the longest time, we saw them as one big family line. But now, details that were once overlooked and are finally being confirmed paint a much more complex picture.

Remember Sasuke’s mission to Isshiki’s dimension? There, he found a stone tablet marked with six symbols—two of which had been deliberately erased. We already know the identities of Kaguya, Isshiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki. But who do the other two symbols represent? Were they just blank slots or was that a warning, a sign of others who haven’t yet shown themselves?

The answer to this question came from a totally unexpected source. There’s a rumor going around on Twitter that in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations – Academy Novel 3, written by Ukyo Kodachi (the former head writer of the franchise), there’s some info about Kaguya. A lot of fans consider it canon because of how closely Kodachi worked with Kishimoto.

In it, we find out that Kaguya wasn’t just a regular member of the Otsutsuki clan. She actually belonged to a special branch of the clan called the Kayosume. I can’t say for sure if that’s true. But I do know that the anime did mention the existence of a main and a side branch in the clan. Urashiki brought it up. And that part is 100% canon.

But there’s more. It turns out that Momoshiki doesn’t belong to the same clan. In fact, he’s apparently the head of his own, likely more powerful clan. You can think of it like a feudal hierarchy—something similar to the Hyuga clan with its main and side branches, or the Uzumaki and Senju clans, distant relatives with very different roles.

In the Otsutsuki world, hierarchy based on raw power is an absolute rule. Thanks to the translated version of a key scene from that novel, we get direct proof of all this. In a conversation between Momoshiki and Kinshiki, they discuss Kaguya’s failure:

“So, there was no report from her,” he said. “Either she betrayed the Kayosume clan or, unthinkably, she was defeated by lower life forms.”

That dialogue flips everything on its head. The Otsutsuki aren’t just one isolated bloodline—they’re a federation of clans. Kaguya was expected to report back to Momoshiki’s clan, which puts her in a subordinate, vassal-like role. That lines up perfectly with the duo structures we’ve seen: Kaguya and Isshiki (where Isshiki was clearly senior), and Momoshiki and Kinshiki (with Momoshiki in charge).

The weaker member of the pair is the sacrificial offering for the God Tree, while the stronger reaps the benefits. That’s the brutal logic of Otsutsuki evolution. Even the ascended god Shibai probably started this way until he became so powerful he no longer needed Karma.

So those two destroyed symbols on Isshiki’s tablet? They weren’t just decorative. They were a report meant for higher-ups—a record of who had already been to Earth and maybe even who was scheduled to come next. Erasing them could’ve been an attempt to hide a failure or a grim omen.

The countdown has already begun. And when the Otsutsuki return, it won’t be for revenge over lost kin—it’ll be to reclaim control and finish what they started: harvesting Earth and wiping it out completely.

The Chaos Architect: Amado’s True Agenda

While galactic-level schemes unfold in the cosmos, one figure on Earth remains a complete mystery—scientist Amado. On the surface, he looks like a tragic genius obsessed with resurrecting his late daughter Akebi. But the deeper we dive into his backstory, the more it seems that this whole daughter narrative might just be an emotional smokescreen, hiding a much bigger and far darker agenda—one that ties directly into the emergence of new Otsutsuki.

The existence of Kashin Koji, a perfect clone of Jiraiya, is rock-solid proof that Amado’s been lying. He claimed he joined Jigen after his daughter died 12 years ago. But Jiraiya’s body was lost in the ocean over 15 years before the events of Boruto, during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

If Amado was able to create Koji, that means he not only recovered Jiraiya’s remains but also had cloning tech long before teaming up with Isshiki. That strongly suggests he was working with other, still-unknown Otsutsuki members well before the Kara era.

If getting DNA from a legendary ninja seems wild, what about having access to the remains of a god? Shibai Otsutsuki, who reached divine status and left his body behind as a relic, is the source of the most broken abilities in the series. Amado, the one who created cyborgs like Eida and Daemon, clearly had access to Shibai’s genetic material.

But what if the daughter story was just bait designed to evoke sympathy and cover up his real mission? What if Kawaki’s suspicion was right and Akebi is just a vessel meant to house Shibai’s reincarnation?

That theory starts to feel disturbingly plausible when you consider one key fact: once Shibai became a god, returning to a mortal body the usual way wouldn’t be possible. It’s not hard to imagine he used his All-Powerful Ability to fake Akebi’s death—exactly 12 years ago, the same year Boruto was born.

And it’s probably not a coincidence that Boruto awakened his Jougan, the so-called “problem eye,” possibly as a gift from that very same deity. In that case, Amado isn’t a grieving father with a dream—he’s the perfect tool for a god who’s trying to cheat death.

Gods’ Tools and the Awakening of Shinju

Amado’s manipulations don’t stop at genetics—they’re embedded in the very tools of Otsutsuki power. Just look at Code’s White Karma. Momoshiki called it “a dud” with disdain, but let’s be real—Amado doesn’t make junk.

The claw marks Code leaves behind are manifestations of Shinjutsu, a technique none of the previously known Otsutsuki ever used. There’s every reason to believe this was Shibai’s signature move before his ascension.

The fact that Code, despite wielding the power of a future god, keeps getting stomped only proves one thing: it’s not about the weapon—it’s about the one wielding it.

But what if Code’s Karma has a hidden function? There’s a theory that Amado embedded something like an arbitrary code execution vulnerability into it—a kind of backdoor that lets the attacker take full control of the system. This could explain why Code started mumbling to himself after coming into contact with Isshiki’s hologram. Maybe that wasn’t Isshiki’s residual will at all, but a simulation triggered by Amado.

The scientist basically used Code as an ignition key to awaken consciousness within the Ten-Tails and give birth to an even more terrifying threat—the Shinju. Earlier Shinju previews can be found in Chapter 11 True Power, which lays groundwork for the evolving divine tree threat

But these Shinju aren’t just brainless Ten-Tails clones. They’re living Divine Trees that have gained self-awareness and chosen specific human targets. Their leader, Jura, has his sights set on Naruto. Others have picked Sarada, Konohamaru, and Eida as their targets.

It’s a brilliant narrative move that, first, brings beloved characters from the original series back into the spotlight, and second, gives side characters a chance to shine.

The evolution of the Shinju is only a matter of time. Once they consume an Otsutsuki—whether that’s Boruto, Kawaki, or someone else from beyond the stars—they could become something entirely new: a hybrid species or even a new form of the Otsutsuki themselves.

One of them is named Bug, and that name might be a disturbing clue. Bug is after Eida, the bearer of Omnipotence. If he manages to absorb her, he could take over that god-tier power—but true to his name, he might also cause a glitch in the system, leading to unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Symbols of Ancient Gods: The Heptagram and the Legacy of Jashin

Back at Kara’s headquarters, there’s another shocking detail—the missing Karma mark on the wall, shaped like a seven-pointed star, or heptagram.

While all the other Karma symbols displayed there have shown up in the story one way or another, this one remained a mystery. But dig deeper into the symbolism, and some stunning parallels start to emerge.

Across various cultures, the seven rays of the heptagram represent seven entities: the seven classical planets in alchemy, the seven days of the week. So what if, in the Naruto universe, it represents the seven Otsutsuki known to Kara?

Two elements of this theory already line up perfectly with the narrative.

The Love Symbol and Delta:
The symbol on the third point of the star looks almost exactly like the one Amado uses on Delta’s clone capsules. In mythology, that ray represents the power of love. Delta is a clone of Amado’s beloved daughter. The connection is obvious.

The Authority Symbol and Eida:
Another symbol on the star—a crescent moon—is worn by Eida. This sign is often tied to power and protection. Eida’s role, having defended Kawaki and basically granted him Hokage-son status, fits that symbolism to a T.

Now things are really starting to heat up. There’s a possible connection between Delta’s symbol and the cult of Jashin—the Otsutsuki that Hidan worshipped. Sounds like a stretch? Let’s lay out the facts.

Jashin’s unique power was immortality—exactly what Amado failed to give his daughter. But what if Jashin was actually another member of the upper echelon of the Otsutsuki clan, and Amado found his remains while trying to bring Akebi back?

That theory starts making even more sense when you take a closer look at Daemon’s abilities. His power to reflect any attack is basically a perfected version of Hidan’s technique—like he’s a living voodoo doll. That’s pure Shinjutsu—the kind of power only Jashin would have.

Which brings us to a pretty wild theory: Amado might’ve used the remains of multiple Otsutsuki beings.

• Eida’s power—Omnipotence—could’ve come from Shibai.
• Daemon’s abilities? Straight from Jashin.

But how could Amado not realize where that power actually came from? Simple—Omnipotence. The Otsutsuki can rewrite reality and mess with people’s memories. One of them could’ve easily made Amado believe all the genetic material came from Shibai, just to keep his own existence hidden.

That memory-wipe twist opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Even Momoshiki himself admitted the Otsutsuki have pulled moves like this more than once.

A Three-Way War for the Fate of the World

All these plot threads—the rebirth of the Otsutsuki clan’s empire, Amado’s hidden motives, the evolution of the Shinju, and the legacy of ancient gods—are all tightening into one explosive knot, pointing toward a conflict on a scale we’ve never seen before.

The Otsutsuki clan follows strict laws—one of them being a ban on killing their own kind. And now, Kawaki—who’s technically one of them—has openly declared he’s going to wipe them all out. That’s not just a threat. That’s a straight-up declaration of war against an entire galactic empire.

And this is where the Shinju step in. When Eida tried to observe them, Jura sensed her. That proves they have sensory abilities way beyond the norm. So what if they can also detect the main Otsutsuki clan who are almost certainly watching Earth from deep space?

This sets the stage for a devilish alliance. Jura could approach Kawaki with a deal. He could point out that Kawaki alone doesn’t stand a chance against an empire that’s keeping tabs on him 24/7. But Kawaki and the Shinju do share one goal: hatred for the Otsutsuki. The Kawaki vs Jura battle escalates in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 24, where Kawaki unleashes his full Otsutsuki power.

In exchange for power strong enough to protect Naruto, Kawaki would have to prove his loyalty and cut ties with the shinobi world once and for all. Considering Kawaki’s desperation and hunger for strength, that scenario is terrifyingly plausible.

So we’re looking at a minimum of three major forces headed for collision:

1. The Shinobi Alliance led by Boruto – the faction fighting for peace and the protection of life.
2. Kawaki and a possible pact with the Shinju – a radical faction willing to do whatever it takes.
3. The Otsutsuki Empire – the true final antagonists, descending to reap their harvest and punish the insolent “lower beings.”

The erased symbols on the ancient tablet, the prophecy of the heptagram, the secrets of the mad scientist, and the awakening of sentient Divine Trees—none of it is just theory anymore. These are the signs of a storm on the horizon.

The question isn’t if more Otsutsuki will show up. The real question is which coalition of their clans is going to hit Earth first—and whether a world already torn by inner conflict can possibly survive the wrath of the true gods.
