Kaguya Otsutsuki is the ancient matriarch of the Otsutsuki Clan and the first being to wield chakra on Earth, making her one of the most pivotal figures in the Naruto series. Consuming the chakra fruit of the God Tree to end war and conflict, Kaguya became a godlike figure, but her overwhelming power led to her downfall. Her betrayal of humanity and subsequent sealing by her sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, set the stage for the ninja world's history. Kaguya’s reappearance as the final antagonist underscores the cyclical nature of power and its consequences.

Personality & Appearance

Kaguya possesses an otherworldly beauty, with flowing white hair and pale, flawless skin that enhance her ethereal presence. Her eyes, either the pure white Byakugan or the terrifying red Rinne Sharingan, exude authority and power. Despite her godlike stature, Kaguya’s personality is complex. Initially seeking peace, her descent into paranoia and control reflects the tragic consequences of absolute power. Her inability to trust others and her maternal instincts clash, making her both a fearsome and deeply tragic figure.
