While the Uchiha Clan is indubitably the most popular, the Otsutsuki Clan is the strongest. This mysterious clan was introduced towards the end of the series, which is why there are still many things that fans don't know about. With that in mind, here are some things about the Otutsuki Clan that have perplexed fans for a long time.

7 Where Exactly Do The Otsutsuki Reside

The Home Planet Remains Unknown

One of the biggest questions fans have about the Otsutsuki Clan is where they come from. They have been classified as extraterrestrials, but so far, no exact source has been identified.

In Naruto: The Last, certain Otsutsuki Clan members were living on the moon, but they were the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki. The other Otsutsuki, such as Isshiki, Kinshiki, Momoshiki, etc., have unknown origins. Given their importance to the series, it doesn't make sense that their home planet remains unknown to the audience.

Kaguya Otsutsuki came to earth centuries ago with her comrade, Isshiki Otsutsuki. They aimed to get ahold of the Chakra Fruit. According to the plan, Kaguya had to be sacrificed, but she decided to turn heel and attack Isshiki, leaving him fatally wounded. Before the latter could succumb to his injuries, he took over the body of a passing monk.

Meanwhile, Kaguya consumed the Chakra Fruit and gained godlike powers. She built a loyal following and ruled over everyone. The interesting thing is, why didn't any Otsutsuki check the status of Kaguya and Isshiki? If the Otsutsuki had advanced technology, it would have been a breeze for them to figure out that things had gone awry. Momoshiki and Kinshiki came to punish Kaguya centuries later when they should have arrived much sooner.

The Otsutsuki Clan is doused in mysteries, which is why people do not know much about them. However, one thing that has been clear about them from the beginning is that they are powerful extraterrestrials. Each of them possesses ridiculous abilities that make them almost unbeatable in battle.

The interesting thing here is that fans have yet to see an Otsutsuki who is weak and easily beatable. It doesn't quite make any sense for a clan to not have weak members. However, there is a possibility that it may change in the future.

4 How Did The Otsutsuki Learn About The Chakra Fruits

The Source Of Their Knowledge

Chakra Fruits are special items that can only be produced after a long time. These fruits are rare and full of strength, so consuming even one can drastically change the power level of an individual. Nobody on earth knew about the Chakra Fruits and what purpose they served.

Logically, the Otsutsuki should not know these fruits either, especially since they require a clan member to act as the sacrifice. Furthermore, it makes no sense how Shibai Otsutsuki learned how to ascend to another realm. Given how the story is progressing, it is highly unlikely that the author will divulge how the Otsutsuki gained this knowledge.

3 Why They Suddenly Became Active

The Otsutsuki Clan existed long before ninjas were a thing. The first of these aliens who came to Earth were Kaguya and Isshiki. After those two, there was a massive gap in which the planet was left untouched by the Otsutsuki. It wasn't until the invasion of Momoshiki and Kinshiki that a new Otsutsuki came to earth.

It doesn't make sense for the clan to stay dormant for such a long time. If they wanted to conquer the earth, they could have done so much earlier and with little to no problems.

2 All Otsutsuki Are Evil

Don't Have Emotions

The members of the Otsutsuki Clan are extremely dangerous, and whenever one of them has surfaced, they have always caused problems for people all over the planet. It would be unwise to assume that all Otsutsuki are malevolent and looking to cause destruction, as they have previously demonstrated that they do have emotions.

For example, Kaguya had two kids and cared about them to a certain extent. When she teleported behind Naruto and Sasuke, she had tears in her eyes as the two reminded her of Hagoromo and Hamura. This proves that she had some love for them, so it is odd that she would still destroy things. Likewise, the other Otsutsuki should have emotions, too, so how could they do something so heinous as destroying planets?

1 Who Is The Leader Of The Otsutsuki?

The Dominant One

Most clans in Naruto have a leader whose role is to ensure the clan's survival. The leader's decisions are based on calculations, and they are the most beneficial to the clan as a whole. So far, no such individual has emerged.

It has been confirmed that Kaguya was a low-ranking Otsutsuki, implying a hierarchy within the Otsutsuki Clan. So, there is a good chance there is someone who is pulling the strings.
