Just have in mind that when I wrote this theory I thought tbased on the given translation, that hagoromo's brother was too a jinchuuriki, nonetheless if you change some things you could see that it can still be true. For example, Hagoromo's brother might have sealed Juubi's body alone in some form in order to weaken it before sealing it completely.
Hello guys,
Last chapter brought many questions and gave me some interesting thoughts about wood style properties.
Till now we thought that in order to get the rinnegan you need both the wood style and the uchiha dna, however, is that all that there is in it?
In last chapter we saw that Ashura, the sage's son was described as nothing special and all the power he got was through his training. However, wood style is a kekkei genkai and that either you have it from birth or you don't...or you acquire through a different method...
Returning to my first point, it's true that the sage did have the rinnegan but that was because he was born by the woman who had eaten the fruit which had Juubi's chakra and therefore its essence. Being said that, the same goes for his brother as well.
BUT if you really think about it based on what the sage said I realized that for him only the power of the eyes seemed a characteristic of his own and one that he expected to be inherited while he never spoke of any kekkei genkai nor for anything else.
Coming now to the sealing part of the Juubi, Hagoromo didn't say that his brother died, he didn't in fact say anything at all, however he did say that they sealed the Juubi in "themselves", which brings up the whole dividing part. On the one hand we have the sage's sons, one with powerful eyes and one other with nothing interesting which brings up the question: where the hell is the wood style in all that? Till now we thought that Ashura had taken Juubi's body's characteristics while Indra its eyes, however it doesn't seem to be the case.
My theory is that by sealing the Juubi in fact in Kaguya's two sons, Hagoromo was able to pass on one of his sons the Juubi's eyes while his brother acquired the respective ability but for its body's properties.
Now you may ask then how Ashura did acquire the wood style after all. The truth is artificially. First of all, to be able to survive while having the wood style and be able to use it, you would need to train a lot your body so that you can be able to use. That doesn't contradict with what Hagoromo stated as Ashura did train a lot to acquire "the same power as Indra's".
However, the one that gave him the ability to use wood style after that was Hagoromo's brother whom I suspect to be the ancestor of the uzumaki clan. Him having inside of him half of Juubi would make sense to possess the ability to pass on its body as his brother could with its eyes.
Now before you say that this is bull because we saw that Hagoromo did have eventually the whole Juubi inside of him when he devided it, something which can be proved about how the latter was capable of fully being revived by the fragments Hagoromo divided, let me just tell you that his brother could have simply died at one point.
In any case, being said that, I'm starting to wonder, who says that the senju clan didn't later become known for their powerful bodies only because they exercised a lot like Ashura did? It's not certain to begin with that Ashura had any children and so it's not like that any of his powers would pass on the next generations, let alone the fact that acquisition of a strong body through hard training is not an inherited trait, you have to gain it on your own.
Based on what the sage said, his son was known for gathering people around him so it would make sense for them to follow his steps.
Also, as for the reason for which he himself didn't pass it on others would be, I'll guess, out of fear of abuse of power. Let's accept it, from what we saw till now based on hashirama's power, wood style is on a complete different level compared to its counterpart (I'm not talking about the rinnegan). A prime example of that is the huge gap in power between Hashirama and madara at theit final fight. Hashirama's summoning was capable of figthing equally and even overwhelm Kurama in its full power while it was equipped with Perfect Susanoo!!
Also, the abuse of power is something that had in fact taken effect as we saw in l chapter 670 with Kaguya who became indeed the shinigami, for her sins, as Hagoromo said and what a more fitting way to be able to be called back by an uzumaki mask if what I say about her other son being the ancestor of the uzumaki clan is correct?
In any case, if indeed her other son, the uzumaki ancestor gave to Ashura the wood style it would explain why the 2 clans had such good relationships. In regards now to Hashirama and how he as well acquired the same technique, I would say in the same way Ashura had and in fact I believe, as I had stated in an previous prediction of mine that
"I think that his use of wood style might be a technique that was handed to him by the uzumaki clan, maybe as an offer to have peace with them in exchange for a marriage with one of their priestess and more specifically with Mito Uzumaki. You might say how I came to this conclusion, well the simple reason is because I couldn't find anything else that made Hashirama special in terms of his other clansmen other than the fact that he was married with an uzumaki priestess, a powerful one, considering the fact she could keep under contol the whole Kurama."
My point is that if hagoromo's brother was indeed the future uzumaki ancestor, maybe the wood style passed down in fact on uzumaki while the senju had nothing special on their own and their power was something that they acquired through hard training. The reason for not seeing any of the uzumaki using it is because they might have deemed it as a forbidden jutsu because of its overwhelming strength ( I mean just look at Hashirama's wood style abilities, he even has access on the 5 basic elements!) and they decided to give it only to Hashirama only because they were certain of their good will. P.S The reason for being wiped out was supposedly the fear other villages had for the uzumaki as they regarded them as powerful, the possesion of wood style could be an extra reason for being regarded as such. Besides, it's like a forbidden one that passed from a group of priests only to specific members. If you really think about it, we have seen something similar in the past against that guy hidan and kakuzu killed, he was also a priest and he as well had access to a powerful technique only because he was a member of that temple.
UPDATE!
Seeing that people have misinterpeted what I said about the uzumaki thing, I would like to make a clarification. I don't mean that mokuton as a kekkei genkai could be used by the uzumaki freely but rather that it was entrusted to them. They don't only deem it forbidden but they sealed it away as a technique in general only to be passed to those who deemed as worthy of not abusing that power.
Lastly you should put the rinnegan in the wider equation: Rinnegan is not only the end result of 2 other powers but it's also one of Juubi's features along with mokuton which is its second characteristic. To be complete you don't only need rinnegan but also mokuton.
In any case, that's all from me, I hope that you found my theory interesting =D I might make some corrections later.
