In this theory I would like to discuss Hagoromo's Sword of Nunoboku, and its possible connection to Naruto Uzumaki.

~As you may already know The Sword of Nunoboko is named after Amenonuhoko (Heavenly Jeweled Spear) in Japanese mythology. It was given to the gods Izanagi and Izanami by the elder generation of gods ( ) in order to create the Japanese peninsula. After dipping the spear into the sea and churning it, the island, Onogoro-Shima was created.



~During the fight against Naruto and Sasuke, Obito stated that the Sword of Nunoboko was a "sword of the soul" and that the one's "feelings" lie within the blade.

Thanks to BlinkST, here is the VIZ translation for those panels
Obito: "This sword is the Sage of six paths' divine blade, the nunoboko.
You can no longer win against me."


[...]

Obito: "Your strong emotions dwell within this blade...
It's a sword of the soul.

The Sage created this world using this blade."


~Now who was it that Naruto was said by Itachi to have the same integrity/soul as? It was Shisui Uchiha; the person who possessed the ocular jutsu, Kotoamatsukami.
Here Itachi states that Naruto has access to Shisui's soul:

~Both instances indicate that Naruto and Shisui shared similar ideals and feelings. Shisui wanted to protect both the Uchiha clan and the Leaf Village, and Naruto wanted to save both Sasuke, and the Shinobi world. This parallel between Naruto and Shisui could have been foreshadowing by Kishi of Naruto obtaining that particular weapon.

~Naruto, who possesses strong enough emotions that they were spread around for the entire Alliance to feel via Ino's telepathy, could make perfect use of such a weapon. Now that Naruto has also been paralleled to the Sage directly by Kaguya, as well as possessing the Gudou-Damas used by Obito to create said sword, Nunoboko could be Naruto's next powerup.

~As for Sasuke, who has been somehow paralleled to Hamura, may unlock his brother's spirit weapons, the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade. Perhaps these were created by Hamura himself since Black Zetsu knew about them, and Kishi has yet to expand upon their origins.

Since Itachi was said to have viewed Shisui as an older brother, Naruto and Sasuke could parallel them.


Naruto who possesses Shisui's soul/feelings obtains Hagoromo's Sword of Nonuboko. (A spirit weapon of the soul)
Sasuke who possesses Itachi's eyes obtains Hamura's Spirit Weapons. (Spirit weapons of the eyes)


Anyway, it's apparent that Naruto and Sasuke will need some form of new power-ups in order to defeat Kaguya. What do you guys think of this?​

I wouldn't take the Shintoism background too seriously, but I'm sure Naruto will use the sword of Nunoboko too and it will be a lot stronger than Obitos, yes.

nice theory, I like the connections you made there, it also show's itachi's insight.

I wonder if that sword in naruto's hand is stronger then it was in obito's hands, since it got beat easely by sasuke's perfect susano sword. but I suppose naruto's will is stronger then obito's so the sword will be stronger to.
I totaly forgot about itachi's spiti sword and shield. I wonder how he made the connection to them.

There is one problem with your theory.

Yata and Totsuka are not Sage level weapons. They can't be compared to the Sword of Nuboko. MS Itachi, who is barely related to the Sage, was able to wield them.

Other than that, solid theory.
