Kaguya Ōtsutsuki partook of the sacred millennial fruit of the Shinju tree and ascended to godhood. Granted the power of the kami, Ōtsutsuki pacified the warring tribes under her benevolent rule. She bore a son, also gifted with godlike power, that would go on to spread his ideals and religion, the Shinobi Sect (忍宗, Ninshū), which eventually came to be known as ninjutsu. However, disgruntled heretical sects dissatisfied with the external pacification took up the arts of the sage and modified them according to disparate ancient practices of nature mysticism.

  • Shugendō(修験道) is an ancient Japanese religion in which enlightenment or oneness with kami is obtained through the study of the relationship between Man and Nature. Shugendō literally means "the path of training and testing." It centers on an ascetic, mountain-dwelling lifestyle and incorporates teachings from Old Shinto, Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies including folk animism. Shugendō practitioners are the most direct lineage descendants of the ancient Kōya Hijiri monks of the eight and ninth centuries. The focus or goal of shugendō is the development of spiritual experience and power. En no Gyōja is often considered as having first organized shugendō as a doctrine.
  • Kaguya Ōtsutsuki partook of the sacred millennial fruit of the Shinju tree and ascended to godhood. Granted the power of the kami, Ōtsutsuki pacified the warring tribes under her benevolent rule. She bore a son, also gifted with godlike power, that would go on to spread his ideals and religion, the Shinobi Sect (忍宗, Ninshū), which eventually came to be known as ninjutsu. However, disgruntled heretical sects dissatisfied with the external pacification took up the arts of the sage and modified them according to disparate ancient practices of nature mysticism. Sometime after the advent of Ninshū, a mountain shinobi-shaman, En no Gyōja (役行者?, lit. "the Ascetic from the En clan") gathered together divergent disciplines of the Yamabushi of his time. He was the only one to recognize the underlying pattern running through varying disciplines and utilized these commonalities in the founding of Shugendō. Unlike Rikkudo Sennin, Gyōja confined his emerging discipline to only the most talented disciples of like mind. As an infant he had been orphaned by the tribal wars. Despite these devastating circumstances, as a child he found himself horrified by the overwhelming power of Ōtsutsuki and her offspring. Even the practitioners of Ninshū were as dust in a hurricane before them. Having studied Ninshū, he sojourned across the globe, searching for a path to augment the comparatively meager capabilities of those who would one day be ninjas. Stumbling upon the Yamabushi, one by one he added their arts to his own and founded a single discipline capable of taking advantage of any form of ambient physical energy in order to augment the shinobi's energy. His ancient discipline has passed down from Shugenja to disciple to modern times. Orochimaru himself attempted to ascertain the true nature of this hidden discipline, yet failed and moved on to more accessible pastures.
