When Did Otsutsuki Kaguya First Appear In The Naruto Timeline?

Question

Trying to remember which Naruto Shippuden arc Kaguya Ōtsutsuki debuted as the main villain, but all the filler episodes are messing with my memory of the final saga.

Kaguya was the main antagonist in the final arc of the original Naruto series. The extensive backstory of the mother of chakra was revealed in this time, and Team 7 had their greatest enemy. Of course stories can be made building off of the same fundamental lore with a very powerful and mysterious female character at the center. An example of such a story is ‘The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing’. It is set long after a legendary figure has done whatever it was she did, and follows a single character trying to get by in a world shaped by that figure’s actions, and dealing with the current complex politics between humans and the various beast clans.

And so after tracing back through the years, it all started with Kaguya long before the villages were even established. She consumed the chakra fruit and scattered chakra throughout the planet, and as a result, the Sage-lineage was born. Many generations would fight and later, Madara and Hagoromo/Hamura would complete the Seal.

First introduced way back in the Fourth Great Ninja War storyline from Naruto Shippuden, Kaguya’s emergence into the series’ main storyline is a total shock to read as a late-series plot twist. Up until that point the myth-like being was generally believed to have been left in the past, long gone after having been sealed away by the Sage of the Six Paths and his son. Instead, in a total shocker, it is revealed that Black Zetsu, the undercover minion of the ten-tails’ true offspring, had betrayed the Legendary Uchiha Sage and then brought back to life the ancient deity. This is definitely one of those plot twists that is very memorable. Extremely sad and chilling in equal measure.

The origins of Kaguya Sensus date back to a time long before the founding of the various clans that form the shinobi villages of the world of ‘Naruto’. Long before the concept of ninjutsu was born, in a time when there were no villages, the first existence Kaguya appeared on Earth, ate the Chakra Fruit of the God Tree and thus became the origin of Chakra – the seed of the ninja world. Her two sons, the founder of the Hidden Leaf Hagoromo and his brother Hamura sealed her away after she transformed into the Ten-Tails or merged with it to become it. This event is the basis of the mythic history that is referenced throughout the series.

Her first appearance in the present-day storyline occurred in the Fourth Great Ninja War in Naruto Shippuden. We were introduced to her past in a series of flashbacks to her existence as one of the first beings on Earth and then her appearance as the first chakra user after consuming the Chakra of the God Tree. Her reappearence as the final enemy in the series was a complete surprise and her re-emergence after being sealed away by Madara after being betrayed by Black Zetsu was a complete stunner. That was one of the greatest moments in the series and still gives me chill bumps to this day.

I like telling this story as more of a narrative because of how surprising it is to learn that Kaguya was at the beginning of time, the fruit from the God Tree created chakra and Kaguya grew up and became powerful and then her own sons sealed her away. So in the history of the shinobi world, she’s basically the founder of everything.

Although Kaguya is a historical character from the distant beginning of the series, she does not appear in the main plot until the endgame of ‘Naruto’ when the world is at war. As the characters relive flashbacks of the past in layers, we finally see the complete truth of how Kaguya came to be. Later, after Black Zetsu has manipulated Madara into unleashing Kaguya on the world once more, there follows a dramatic resurrection sequence. It was both fascinating and chaotic and provided a nice contrast to the exploration of the themes of power, legacy and choice that run throughout the series.

I assume by ‘when did Kaguya first appear in-naruto’s world’ you mean when did she first appear in the world in which Naruto takes place, rather than when she first appeared in the story that the characters in said world experience. The former would be in some ancient past, long before the events of the series, when she consumed the God Tree’s fruit and became the origin of chakra, her two sons sealing her away shortly thereafter. The latter would be much, much later; during the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Black Zetsu uses Madara as a vessel and brings her back to life. Her two appearances – ancient mythos and current revived catastrophe – are what make her so legendary and terrifying. Her role has the possibility of redefining much of what happened before.

Sawyer · Answer

I’m really, really excited for this post because the history of Kaguya in the timeline of the Ninja World is just so incredibly legendary. She appears in prehistoric times, consumes a divine fruit and undergoes an incredible evolution before being defeated by her very own sons. Her power of chakra would then spread through the Ninja World via her two sons and thus start the history of the various clans of Ninjas, such as the Senju and Uchiha.

Naruto gets to see her when she finally appears to him and his friends in the final war arc of Naruto Shippuden. This is long after she has first appeared to the reader in flashbacks of long-lost history that were recovered by Naruto, his friends and a few other supporting characters. First she was alluded to by legends, ancient scrolls and other historical accounts that had been passed down through the centuries. Some of the fandom was even treated to occurrences of her appearance in the dreams of a few of the main characters. Overall her long-awaited debut in Naruto Shippuden was met with a mixture of amazement and disappointment by fans. While some were glad to finally see this legendary creature, others thought her arrival came too late. For me personally, however, it was a wonderful way to tie up all of the different chakra-related story arcs and provide closure for the readers of the series.

This is a quick watch guide for ‘Naruto Shippūden’. If watching on streaming, look for Episode 458: ‘The Final Valley’. Be prepared for a radical tonal shift. While the fight with Kaguya will involve plenty of physical action as the usual ninja vs. ninja battles, there is also a lot of dimensional warping and reality altering that is far removed from typical Shonen fights. This is the start of the final final battle. There is plenty of filler in ‘Naruto Shippūden’ but this is a canon episode that everyone should watch regardless of how much you hate a particular twist in the story, as it is necessary to understand the full story.

Making the ultimate villain the story's final climax in a 700-chapter long story is a very bold and perilous idea. KishimotoSensei managed to pull it off in terms of unexpected twist and the addition of lore to the story, but I think he lost something along the way: a lot of emotional depth. As opposed to spending years with Pain, Obito, and Madara, we spent minutes with Kaguya before the clash. Her first appearance had to have a lot of weight to it, and for the most part it succeeded in showing her power and malevolence. Then again, she was mostly linking together the many plot threads that had already been established by Hagoromo's many tales. So, in the end, Chapter 679 was just the explosive payoff to all that foretelling.
