The Mystery of the Kekkei Tota

[skye89]

The Kekkei Tota (KKT) is IMO, either a major plot hole or, one of the biggest Naruto mysteries of all time. Why? Simply because all that we know about it till now has been dodgy and contradictory at best. Let me explain...

-------------------------​

Let's lay out all the facts we know about Kekkei Tota:

1) It is an ability that allows the bearer to combine 3 nature transformations (as opposed to just 2, as in a KKG)

2) It is a more advanced form of KKG (or is it?)

3) Mu and Onoki are the only known bearers of a KKT​

-------------------------​

Kishi thus far has portrayed the KKT to be simply a more powerful, more developed form of a KKG, allowing the melding of 3 elements instead of just 2. However, if we follow that logic, why is it that a KKT can be learnt (ie: Onoki learnt Particle Release from Mu), but a KKG can only be inherited through a bloodline limit?

I thought of some possibilities:
- A KKT necessarily requires one to have a KKG as a prerequisite because the bearer of the KKT would have to have the ability to meld different chakra types to begin with. Hence, it is possible that Mu and Onoki have a KKG that has yet to be revealed. (Highly unlikely)

- A KKT can only be inherited through a bloodline limit, just like a KKG. Hence, it is possible that Mu and Onoki are related by blood. (HMMM)

- A KKT isn't like a KKG at all in that it does not involve the same type of chakra-melding ability a KKG requires. (Possible...)

- Kishi screwed up the plot. (Likely)

I dunno about you guys, but this is one big mystery to me! Any thoughts?​

:shrug:

Oonoki already had the kkt. Mu just taught him how to turn that into a jutsu.

It is a mystery. interesting thought

You're wrong. Bloodline jutsu are inherited through bloodlines, such as Mokuton. Kekkai Genkai are both able to be inherited and created. Lava Style isn't a bloodline limit, but Haku's Ice Mirrors are.

Muu created the Dust element, and Onoki learned it.

Also, just as a non-Uchiha can transplant the eye into himself, and use it, would it not be the same as learning rather than inheriting Mokuton? There's never been anything said to disprove this, so it would technically be possible for Kakashi to RECREATE Mokuton.

This is what I was thinking. But you raise some good points, it's very sketchy.

Why every mistake people found it always has something to do with Kishi "Screwing" up the Plot? Maybe, its still a mystery, IDK. I choose 4 as the Theory: - A KKT isn't like a KKG at all in that it does not involve the same type of chakra-melding ability a KKG requires.

Wrong. Lava is a bloodline limit. It was said you need a blood line limit to do combine elements. Mei said she had two kkg. Nobody can just create the elements it is a skill you have to be born with, hints bloodline limit.

Hmmm i'm not entirely sure if you're correct either... I could be wrong, but may i refer you to this:

---------------------------------
"Kekkei genkai (血継限界; Literally meaning "a technique limited to inheritance by blood" or "Bloodline Limit") are abilities passed down genetically within specific clans. It's possible for a ninja to have more than one of these abilities. Kekkei genkai abilities that work via the user's eye are called dōjutsu. Other kekkei genkai include mixing one type of elemental chakra with another, creating a new one unique to the users, which is usually impossible for normal ninja"
---------------------------------

The above is quoted from Narutopedia directly. I do believe what you mean by Kekkei Genkai and Bloodline Limits are one and the same. Lava release and Ice release are both Kekkei Genkais (or bloodline limits, when translated to english). They only differ in the elements they meld.

Just because Kishi hasn't explained the background on KT, Muu, or Oonoki doesn't mean he messed up the plot. It is most likely that Oonoki already had the KT required for dust release and that Muu taught the jutsu to him. That is why Muu and Oonoki are kage for the Rock(Stone?). They highly value the ability.

Or a Bijuu with those elements. Like the Roshi and the 4 tails.

I always just figured that Muu was Oonoki's dad or something. It makes sense.

That's actually really possible! Never thought of that
