So I have been thinking, what if...

What if the old man shown to be the Jinchuriki of Shukaku is either :

1) The Younger Son himself

OR

2) A student of The Younger Son

===========================================================================

Have a look at these three pages....







===========================================================================

1) The Younger Son :

  • Shukaku calls the old man a priest. We all know 'priest' is a synonym with 'sage'. So is the old man a sage, though not a SO6P...like someone who knows sage mode?
  • Also look at the ambiance of his subconscious. Shukaku is in the open, not caged. That's a deeper level of subconscious with the bijuu. Shukaku, despite having a distinct dislike for humans even then, clearly is on friendly terms with the old man. It is definitely hinted that this old man is a perfect jinchuuriki. Did he learn this trick from his father who was a perfect jinchuuriki of nine tailed beasts at a single time when he split the jyuubi?
  • This old man also hints that he believes things like heart, friendship, love etc will be the ones that will change the world. An ideology that definitely matches the Younger Son.
  • Shukaku also mentions how the people don't even call the old man by his name anymore. Could it be that the old man's name is also Ootsutsuki? Could it be that with the old man losing his name to obscureness, that was also the end of Ootsutsuki clan, NAMEWISE, as we know it? Could it be that his lineage continued, albeit through a different name? Could it be that the Elder Son was somehow responsible for imprisoning his own brother, the Younger Son and also using the tailed beasts for his own ends abusing their power, thus contributing hugely to the growing hatred the tailed beasts have towards the humans?
  • And lastly, when Shukaku tells him he reminds him of the the SO6P, the man cries. He says he is humbled, but the tears depict a deeper emotional connection and maybe some fond memories as well...of the SO6P or his father.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) A student of The Younger Son

  • All the above mentioned points can apply is this situation as well.
  • The Younger Son may have very well taught him sage mode, certain jinchuuriki specifics and ofcourse, ever-important central theme of love and understanding which will change the world.
  • The Younger Son may also be the one who actually wrote those two words on his students hands, and the old man remembers his master when Shukaku mentions the SO6P.


===========================================================================

All in all, I have a feeling that we have been let onto a little secret which though may seem subtle, is actually quite the opposite. What say? :sweat:

Interesting theory...

One point against it (that may ruin it completely) is that the younger son started the lineage of the Senju, who were in no way affiliated with Sunagakure but with Konohagakure especially after the establishment of the village system. However this could very well be the younger son's student.

Nope, The younger son would be hundreds of years old. also any disciples or anything like that would already be dead by hashi's/madara's timeline....

How old would he have to be then?

He definitely looks too old to even walk. The thing is that we don't exactly know int what time-frame was the flashback exactly. :(

Do notice the conspicuous absence of any headbands on any shinobi whatsoever. We know those guards are from Sunagakure, but they don't wear any kind of symbol of the sand, or any village whatsoever on them. It kind of hints that this flashback was from a period before the formation of the villages as well as Sunagakure.

For all we know, the namesake Ootsutsuki clan may have ended in that cell but continued outside through his wife/children who may have masked their identities and presented themselves as Senju to protect themselves from the Elder Son or his protegees/lackeys.

The above thinking process may also help point out how exactly the Younger Son, who should have also been a Ootsutsukibeing the SO6P's second born, suddenly went and had descendants named Senju instead of Ootsutsuki. :)


Thats some tasty idea you got there.

Thanks. Just some fleeting thought that passed through my mind on a whim. :)

WOW :what: that is a beautiful & unique theory. It also makes people ponder if Sasori or Gaara are actually Uzumaki afterall. Lol

Tsunade/Naruto/Gaara's MOM/ Temari /Minato is as well Lol = blonde-------- Temari/Naruto= wind style

Gaara's mom/Naruto's mom died giving birth to them as well as giving them the BIJUU.

Gaara/Kushina = reddish hair. Uzumaki- Ootsutsuki.

some of it is really nice though I haven't read most of it Lol

This is an awesome idea. I'm not sure if the Younger Son could live that long, but he was the first Senju supposedly with above average life force, and normal humans can live up to a 100 years, so perhaps 200 isn't out of the question for one of the Sage's Sons.

Regardless, this would make for amazing plot whether or not it's real. Good job!

The SO6P was himself a jinchuuriki. He has definitely passed the tech down. There may have been jinchuurikis before the villages that we don't know yet.
About Gaara's subconscious, hmmm indeed I can't explain that. Maybe Shukaku wasn't caged at all. It's just when Naruto met all the Bijuus and jinchuurikis that I thought the requirements of a perfect jinchuuriki somehow matched the the old man's case.

I may have missed something then. Anything to suggest it was definitely Hashi/Madara's timeline and not before?

That's the thing. If he indeed was the Younger son, we don't even really know who were his descendants carrying his legacy outside the prison. They may have been Uzumakis, they may have been Senjus, or they very well have been both, thus making the Uzumakis and Senjus related.
You definitely came up with so many parallelisms. I hadn't even thought there were so many similarities there. Good job. :Omg:

Well yes. We don't how close or how far was this flashback from the SO6P time. Don't forget the old man had Shukaku's life force as well! :)

Shukaku is too old to be living close the the son's timespan.
