First off let's look at some of the things we know about Toneri/what he says:
- "The Ancestor of all Shinobi; the Sage of the Six Paths." (Nothing really important here, we already know about him.)
- "The Moon is Falling." (Again, obvious.)
- "Our clan has waited for 1000 years." (This seems very important.)
- Naruto: "You are Ōtsutsuki ?" (shows he's a descendant)
- "Mankind will be punished for using chakra as a weapon." (interesting, will address later)
Now with those things in the back of your mind I want to share something with you first:
I was reading the translation for the databook then stumbled upon this.
So Hamura took over the Ōtsutsuki clan and went to the moon. I imagine that they kept reproducing after that to maintain a lineage that could monitor/be caretakers of the Moon and the Mazou (Off-topic but isn't that inbreeding lol?); or another option to keep this monitoring going which I will bring up laterŌtsutsuki Hamura (大筒木ハムラ)
For the sake of the world, the younger brother with the Byakugan paired up with his older brother to seal their mother.
Together with his older brother Hagoromo, he sealed the Ten Tails. After the battle, he became head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and together with the rest of the Clan, he migrated to the moon that was created from Chibaku Tensei to watch over the Gedō Mazō and the vessel of the Ten Tails.
Sounds nice, next here's more databook stuff:
Okay so this kinda does two things:Descent
To obtain the fruit of the Divine Tree, the Rabbit Goddess descended.
From the moment they assumed humanoid form, mankind had walked a world of strife waging war against one another. The ground was stained with blood, and as if drinking it in, the Divine Tree took root in the earth. In time, the Divine Tree bore a single fruit, and a clan migrated from another world in search of it. They were the Ōtsutsuki clan. Kaguya, leader of the Ōtsutsuki, ate the Divine Tree's fruit and became the originator of Chakra, and with that tremendous power subdued the world in the blink of an eye.
...
The twins, assuming that Ten Tails was an incarnation of the Divine Tree, and that it had attacked them to recover the Chakra from its stolen fruit, met it head on. After a desperate struggle, they invoked Six Paths Planetary Construction. Transforming it into the moon, they sealed it away.
The husk of Ten Tails, the Gedō Statue, was sealed in the moon. Hamura took leadership of the clan and decreed that they would stand guard over the statue.
- As I and many a other theorized long ago, it confirms the Kaguya and her clan are not from this world, but likely to be extraterrestrials/ aliens (not the traditional from space as its still possible that "not from this world" refers to their home dimension, which I like the idea along with the space one as well.)
- And it also reiterates what the earlier post said about Hamura blah blah blah.
Theory:
So we know that Hamura took over the Ōtsutsuki clan and took them to the moon. First you might wonder as to how they got to the moon. I've come up with two ideas regarding this.
- They used the same process to get to the moon that they did to get to the Earth.
- A Teleportation jutsu
Regarding the first choice:
Considering the Ōtsutsukis are not from Earth in the first place, it means that they probably used some sort of technique/method to get to the Earth. It's possible that this method was going through a Space-Time "barrier" that was in the castles of the dimensions. The importance of the Castles have never really been explained and it would make sense if they were manual mediums for inter-dimensional travel. The principle would work similar to Minato's jutsu really, where one would go into the Castle's portal and enter into Earth.
If you want to hear more about this, the spoiler underneath this sentence recalls some points I made in a theory on this some time ago along with some additional info.
Regarding the second choice:
This seems more probable to me, being that after defeating the Juubi/Kaguya, Hagoromo and Hamura were so advanced in jutsu that I'm sure one of them was capable of Teleportation to send the others there. Afterwards Hagoromo probably used Shinra Tensei to push the moon into its orbit.

I believe the Castles are the manual link between Kaguya's Space-time dimensions.
The reason why I believe this first stems from what Obito told us.
Obito states that the Time-Space is really 'vast' (great in size) and for Kaguya to connect them instantly is amazing.You must be registered for see images
In fact Black Zetsu mentions that using it requires an immense amount of Chakra.

So that caused me to think, if Kaguya was to over-use this too much/didn't have any Chakra she'd be screwed and stuck there. But I think the Castles are essentially the hidden door in case this were to happen.
Or basically I believe the Castles have the entrances to each of the dimensions in case the User lacks sufficient Chakra to travel through the Time-Spaces. It's essentially a safe-guard for Kaguya.
But you might be wondering why they're in such weird locations.
Or at this point on the top of Volcano and the top of an Ice Cliff. [You must be registered for see links][You must be registered for see links]
But that actually favors Kaguya if you think about it. They're located in such odd places just in case someone other than Kaguya tries to use them. Imagine trying to find a random castle in the middle of nowhere. It's pretty hard unless you're Kaguya, for she already knows the dimensions as she lived with there before; and, she can use her Byakugan and quickly find the location.You must be registered for see images
My next reasoning to believe that these Castles may involve a manual entrance to the dimensions is something regarding Mount Fuji (this relates to what I started off with above.)
Now allow me to familiarize you with the term Axis Mundi.
This is important because Mount Fuji is considered an Axis Mundi in Shintoism.The axis mundi is literally the axis of the world, although there are several different ways of viewing a religion's axis mundi. The axis provides a connection between the various realms. This can connects dimensions, or the physical world and spiritual worlds.
So in this case I'd find it fitting if each Castle was the dimension connecter.Mt. Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan. Physically reaching farther into the sky than any natural or man-made structure, it is an obvious bridge between land and sky. Made of stone, it also reaches deep into the ground. This makes it an ideal way to connect the realms. And various religions have their own respective Axis Mundi
Now this raises one last question, how was Kaguya able to access these dimensions?
Interestingly enough, the Tree of Life is considered an Axis Mundi/connects the various realms in Norse Mythology.
So in case I guess the key would be the Shinju/God-Tree itself. After taking root within the Earth, the chakra that perhaps synced into nature created portals between the separate dimensions. Then later, since Kaguya became apart of the Ten-Tails/ate the fruit, she was open to use these abilities.
This image relates well with the current dimensions.

So Kaguya probably realized this was the opportunity for salvation; thus took her clan and left to eat the Fruit.
As she was naturally a princess, she probably had her clan build her castles every time she changed dimension for a royal residence (as the portal would only be in her control essentially, the nobility. Perhaps they had a feudalistic system going.)

Moving on:
We know that Hamura went to the moon with the Otsutsukis, but the Hyūga clan also lived on the Earth. Therefore, I believe that Hamura already had children on Earth that became the Hyūgas . Hamura left for the moon along with the rest of the other Ōtsutsukis . This was because Hamura would need to keep watch over the Mazou and thus needed to continue the Ōtsutsukis Clan's purpose.
He left his Eldest Son to continue his own bloodline, and became known as the Hyūga Clan. The older brother then went on to have his own sons. His first son became the ancestor of the "Main House (宗家, Sōke) " and his second son became the "Branch House (分家, Bunke)".
To maintain an idea of what was going on, Hamura told his son to use his Byakugan and zoom into the moon. Likewise, Hamura could do the same with his 360 degree vision.. This way constant monitoring could be kept by the Hyūgas . And to ensure that the secrets of the Byakugan or the fact that the Ōtsutsukis were on the moon (for it gave threat to the revival of the Juubi), the Main Son embedded the Hyūga curse-mark onto the Branch Son. The true purpose was eventually forgotten and it became a tool of manipulation.

This was very interesting me. To continue off our last ideas, I believe that for some time the Ōtsutsukis monitored the Mazou and all was well. But after a while, many of the Ōtsutsukis grew vengeful. They were forced to monitor the Gedo Statue for what seemed eternity all because of mankind's thirst for power. And at the same time, humans were abusing Ninshuu and exploiting it into Ninjutsu. But Most of all they were angry at the fact that Hamura had made their Clan the caretakers while his own bloodline the Hyūga remained free.
The lower-ranks of the Ōtsutsuki probably became sick of this; or specifically the one rank/man known as Toneri (舎人) (which was a title held by low-ranking servants of royalty and nobility during the 7th century. )
This created resentment within these Ōtsutsukis numbers, and they decided to revenge against humanity. They together and took power from Hamura/whoever the hell was in charge and thus began their waiting period until the time could come from their plan. The man to lead this rebellion was no other than Toneri Ōtsutsuki . Hence Toneri says, "Our clan has waited for 1000 years." Just before dying, Hamura destroyed his Byakugan. Toneri then took in his chakra and DNA to become stronger as he now directly had "Kaguya's blood."
After Toneri came into power people probably realized he was crazy, but Toneri became corrupt and ignorant from all the power and thus killed them all; essentially he is the "Last Otsutsuki."

The plan? Simple, get to Earth and punish humanity for using chakra. In essence, Toneri was going to have the Moon crash into the Earth and decimate humanity.
Now why the 1000 year waiting period? I'm not entirely sure but I feel this is related: (bottom half)

Connection to the Gedo Mazou, as it has a huge life-force:

He over connected with the Mazou's chakra and thus the Mazou began to "become one" with him in a sense.
At first the chakra flowed into him, but over time it began to become apart of his very essence. That's right, Toneri overused the Mazou and thus it turned him to become:
(Also I want to say that this monster has hella resemblance to Hamura, but for Theory's sake I think its Toneri. That and from Hagoromo's indications it seems Hamura is a good guy.)

So why does Toneri need Hinata?
Possible two things.
First: Toneri may want to get closer to Kaguya's dojutsu, or in this case, specifically Byakugan. Toneri's eyes look normal in this picture here; but in this picture it looks as if he might have the Byakugan.

Second: Toneri wants to eliminate mankind by crashing the moon then start anew. I feel he might be similar to what Sasuke and said and rebuild over the destroyed. With his power and unique Clan's bloodline, he'd be able to survive the moon's aftermath then start a new; or build a civilization in his image. In order to continue his bloodline he may want a Main Branch member of the Hyuuga, and thus restore the clan/kin he once slaughtered.
TL;DR
- Hamura took the Ōtsutsuki clan and went to the moon.
- There he guarded and monitored the Gedo Mazou.
- His sons became the Main and Branch families.
- Kaguya reached the human world by discovering a dimensional portal through her Castles
- Toneri and others became angry that humans were misusing chakra
- Toneri leads a uprising against Hamura, in which the latter seals away his Byakugan.
- Toneri connects himself to the Mazou for life-force and live until the 1000th year.
- Toneri wants to steal a Main house Byakugan to become close to Kaguya's power.
- He also wants to start a new and reproduce with a Hyūga.
- The over-connection with the Mazou turns Toneri into the Monster from The Last.
- Crashing the moon and starting a new is the "True End Plan."
Sad to see the manga end, will hopefully make a thread on it soon. Overall I'll miss this manga.
And as always, thanks for reading, Vega
