As the title says. Onmyoudon is the most important thing in Naruto's world. Onmyoudon is the reason people are able to use Ninjutsu. Allow me to explain.
Now, in order to fully understand what I am going to say you need to know what exactly I think the Juubi, the Tailed Beasts, and the Sage to be.
I have written threads on these topics.

If you would like to read them, please go ahead, but for those who didn't I will summarize. The premise of those threads was to show why all Ninjutsu(including KG) stem from the Juubi and why the So6P's was not able to utilize Ninjutsu (not Senjutsu or Fuinjutsu, I mean elemental ninjutsu) until after his fight with the Juubi.
So let's get into it...
PART 1: Onmyoudon
First: What is Onmyoudon?
It is a way of thought incorporating the yin-yang balance and balance through five elements (earth, water, fire, metal and wood) using prevalent Taoist practices. It was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks.
Of course in our story, metal and wood are replaced by lightning and wind, and wood is made into a KG, but the 5 element concept is the same.
Second: What is Onmyoudon in relation to Naruto?
Well there are two things we know.
One, we have this. Onmyoudon makes Ninjutsu useless.
Two, the Onmyoudon stems from the Juubi. How can we know that? Well, Obito was not impervious to Ninjutsu before sealing the Juubi within himself and now he is; interestingly though, he is not impervious to Senjutsu, but I will get into that later.
So why is this so important you may ask? Well, if we can assume Onmyoudon stems from the Juubi, then...
A. The Sage MUST have used Senjutsu to weaken and seal the Juubi, otherwise he could not have damaged it. I am under the belief that not only did he use Senjutsu to beat the Juubi, but he HAD to because he could not use Ninjutsu yet. This was explained in my thread "The Sage" at the top so I will not go into too much detail.
B. Upon sealing the Juubi, the Sage himself would have unlocked this Onmyoudon.
Part 'B' brings up a very interesting point and I will tell you why.. If we can accept the fact that the source of making Ninjutsu obsolete, Onmyoudon, stems from the Juubi, then do you think it is merely a coincidence that Ninjutsu was born after it was sealed? Of course not..
Sage defeating the source of what is the Onmyoudon
Sage going on to teach the world Ninshu
Onmyoudon is the "knowledge" granted from the Juubi or Nature itself. It is the "knowledge" on how to control Nature, or the elements, in one's self. That is the reason it can make Ninjutsu obsolete. Because it is the foundation of Ninjutsu. It can create or destroy it. YIN and YANG.

PART 2: THE THEORY
The Sage...
...being of Uzumaki heritage, excelled in the Fuinjutsu his clan specializes in..
...and sought to find balance in his war-torn era.
He found his answer through meditation or collecting Natural Chakra (Remember at this point ELEMENTAL techniques are still unbeknownst to him). How he came to find this truth is still a mystery to me. There are of course places in which one can learn to harness the power of Nature...but I digress. Studying and practicing this new path he realized (or sensed) that the very Nature he was using to elevate himself had been manifesting into a sentient being...The Juubi.
POINTS TO SUPPORT MY POINTS: FACT INTERJECTION
It was obvious why the Juubi had begun to form. "Man" had ravaged the land with its constant wars and extended its borders beyond what it needed to survive...
FACT INTERJECTION- Onmyoudon's (remember this represents the Juubi) views on "the Natural World"
...so Nature sought to defend itself. The Sage knew what the Juubi was and what it intended to do (whipe out man to protect itself). However, he felt that Man just needed more time to live in harmony with eachother and by extention with the land. So, buying time for mankind, he sealed the Juubi, knowing that someday it would be pieced back together...
...and by that time man would have learned to cease the constant wars and bloodshed. The Sage, using his understanding of Senjutsu and Fuinjutsu defeated and sealed the Juubi within himself granting him a new power, the Rinnengan.
He had now defeated and sealed the source of the Onmyoudon and realized he had the ability to use chakra as he pleased without having to gather Natural chakra from the Earth...it was now inside of him at his disposal.
FACT INTERJECTION: Why the Rinnengan is the Rinnengan.
The Sage had now become a god and the first onmyouji or one who practices onmyoudou (I implore all of you to read up on the subject, particularly about Abe no Seimei who was interestingly birthed by a demon fox mother). Now that he was the master of yin-yang balance, chakra and the 5 elements he could now teach others the secrets of harnessing their own power. And now, with this easier method of chakra control, and without the crux of the Juubi's Onmyoudon, Sage Art or Senjutsu had become unnecessary and a rare and unpracticed art lost to the ages. The rest as they say, is history....

POINTS TO SUPPORT MY POINTS: FACT INTERJECTION
In fact, the very idea of the Juubi having multiple forms suggests that it was 'spawned' rather than always existing as a final form.
When it began manifesting it of course looked like this..
Then as the Natural Chakra keeps manifesting it began to look like this..
Then of course it collects more..
...until it MANIFESTS completely into a final form. Meaning it wasn't always walking around in its final form or there would be no point in having transformations at all.
When they Kyuubi says this...
...he is literally referring to what Nature does, not necessarily the formed Juubi. Nature and the Juubi are one in the same.

FACT INTERJECTION- Onmyoudon's (remember this represents the Juubi) views on "the Natural World"
"However, in many cases habitations are not occurrences of nature itself but instead attempts to control nature and bend it to the will of whomever might wish to be shielded. This is true for all animals, humans included, and too widespread a habitation often intrudes upon others. Humans are most guilty of extending their cities, towns, and villages far outside of their need, which can make it difficult to live for both humans and any other creatures who happen to be near."

FACT INTERJECTION: Why the Rinnengan is the Rinnengan.
Remember the Juubi is nature.
And nature is nothing more than the elements; earth, water, wind, fire and lightning.
And what is Onmyoudon? It is the balancing of the 5 elements.
And what does the Rinnengan do? It gives one power of the five elements.
The Rinnengan comes from the Juubi, nature, whatever you want to call it. It is the eye of the Onmyouji.

There is a reason the Sharingan can master all types of Jutsu.
If you haven't noticed by now, the Sharingan comes from the Juubi and the reason it can read through all Ninjutsu is simple. Ninjutsu comes from the Juubi.
