All derived jutsu
- Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki
This technique creates a giant stone monkey by accumulating surrounding ground and shaping it into the animal, which is then reinforced with fire. It’s powerful enough to keep up with a fully manifested Kurama and even put it down, requiring a Susanoo support to defeat it. Although, it should be noted Kurama had half of its chakra drained by Momoshiki before Naruto was rescued.
Trivia
- While unnamed in the movie and manga, this technique was named in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.
- Momoshiki’s ability to create a pheasant, dog and monkey is influenced by the tale of Momotarō, who befriends the three animals.
- If this technique were to follow the same naming format as Inukaitakerunomikoto, it would be named Sasamorihikonomikoto (楽々森彦命, Tranquil Forest Young Lord), after Morihiko Sasa, one of the three retainers in the legend of Kibitsu Hiko no Mikoto.
- In Boruto episode 62, Momoshiki is briefly seen creating earthen golems. The golems lack the flames that would otherwise be indicative of this technique.
- In the novelisation of Boruto: Naruto the Movie, Momoshiki releases a Fire Release that he’s absorbed and shapes it into a huge monkey and dog; its power is noted to be a result of the chakra he’s just taken from Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. The two forms are defeated by a Rasengan and Chidori.
