* AmbiguousDisorder: She's implied to have some form of disorder due to her aloof nature and not normally showing emotions, appearing near emotionless around the father of her sons, not even showing visible emotion around the servant she was attached to until the girl died trying to protect Kaguya. When other members of the clan appear in ''Boruto'' they act much more human, albeit as SmugSnake villains.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Changed line(s) 135 (click to see context) from:
* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:''Nobody'' saw her coming, not even Madara himself, who knew of her but not of her significance. Even Hagoromo never realized that she was the Ten-Tails, something Black Zetsu mocks. Interestingly, this actually works both ways: She initially mistook Naruto and Sasuke for being her own sons' reincarnations, rather than her grandsons' via Hagoromo. She doesn't appear to be fully up on recent events, which is justified considering she spent most of ninja history as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Completely justified, because Black Zetsu, who is a brilliant enough ChessMaster to claim to have orchestrated '''[[UpToEleven all of ninja history]]''', deliberately erased almost all records of her to ensure that nobody was prepared to fight her.]]

[[spoiler:Naruto, who had previously confirmed that it was pointless to attempt to meassure the Ten-Tails' chakra levels due to it being, quite simply, immeasurable states that Kaguya's chakra levels are ''even greater'' than the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]]'... Which kinda makes sense since she has access to the chakra of both the Ten-Tails ''and'' the entire shinobi world.]]

!!Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamiKoyama (Japanese), Cissy Jones (English)
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 679 (Manga), ''Shippuden'' Episode 458 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaguyastorm4.png]]
The originator of chakra on Earth, as a result of eating a chakra fruit from the Divine Tree, and the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, as well as Hamura, the younger twin and the one who went to the Moon. She is also notably the only full blooded female Ōtsutsuki so far seen.
----
* AbusivePrecursors: Her sons had noble intentions, but were sabotaged at least. She was seemingly this. [[WellIntentionedExtremist She was actually somewhat benevolent in her anime-expanded backstory,]] but having seen war and gaining god-like power caused her to detach herself from humanity.
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime gives Kaguya more characterization, including more frequent dialogue and a more detailed backstory.
* AfterTheEnd: She caused the Naruto world to experience a downplayed and unusual variant of it. By casting the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, she turned most of humanity into food for the Divine Tree, only freeing enough of them to keep humans from going extinct and enabling them to restart a few small societies. Said societies initially worshiped her as a goddess, but would come to fear her as a demon. Not much is known of humanity before the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, but having reduced humanity to only a fragment of its former population and having them settle near where she lived may explain why even a thousand years later the Naruto world's civilizations seem relatively geographically near to and similar to each other (all speaking mostly the same language for instance), as well as why there are never any mentions of societies outside of the ninja nations and samurai even existing in the current world. The constant wars and low life expectancy that characterized much of the history of the world Kaguya left behind would further stifle the low starting populations from growing and expanding.
* AmbiguousDisorder: She's implied to have some form of disorder due to her aloof nature and not normally showing emotions, appearing near emotionless around the father of her sons, not even showing visible emotion around the servant she was attached to until the girl died trying to protect Kaguya. When other members of the clan appear in ''Boruto'' they act much more human, albeit as SmugSnake villains.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Her place of origin is unknown [[spoiler:even to her sons]] and her HornedHumanoid appearance coupled with MonochromaticEyes suggests she might have been an alien unless she gained those traits from consuming the Divine Tree's fruit. The fourth databook ambiguously states she is from another land.
** The anime more or less tells us she is from the stars.
** Later material would clarify that she is of a race of parasitic aliens that traverse multiple dimensions to drain worlds of life to enhance their own power and lifespan.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Naruto cuts off her left arm, mostly as a ShutUpHannibal toward Black Zetsu, who was residing in the sleeve. She regenerates the arm almost immediately, while Black Zetsu remains with the original arm, capable of opening up portals and firing bones from it, and ultimately gets thrown up with it as Kaguya is resealed.]]
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:An immortal goddess trapped in the moon by her sons for possibly millennia with the Ten-Tails' dessicated husk for a body. She briefly regains her body only to be trapped in the same way again, and now she's in another dimension to boot.]]
* AncientAstronauts: She came to the ninja world from another world before chakra was known on Earth.
* AncientEvil: She was abusive to her subjects more than a thousand years ago and has been sealed since being defeated by her sons.
* AnimalMotifs: Rabbits. Her horns resemble rabbit ears and before she went insane she was referred to as the Rabbit Goddess. [[spoiler:Even her OneWingedAngel form where she transforms into the Ten-Tails resembles a rabbit.]]
* AntagonistAbilities: [[spoiler:Via EnergyAbsorption, she absorbs all the chakra of the Shinobi Alliance, on top of her own massive chakra levels. She is also a RealityWarper capable of bending space and time to place her opponents into near-instant-death scenarios, and her primary form of offense are bones that MakeThemRot.]]
* TheAssimilator: Her ultimate aim is to [[spoiler:collect the chakra from everyone in the world into herself and convert most of them into White Zetsu soldiers under her control, creating an army large enough to combat Momoshiki and Kinshiki and any other members of her clan that could threaten her. The ones who aren't turned into White Zetsus will be enslaved to her will.]]
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Many readers believed that her entire purpose to the plot is to [[spoiler: kill off Madara and Obito.]] But in hindsight her real purpose is obviously to extend the series.
* BadWithTheBone: Like Kimimaro, she can manipulate her skeletal structure. Her bones, however, also [[OneHitKill immediately kill whatever they hit]].
* BallisticBone: She can manipulate her skeletal structure to perform techniques such as firing bone arrows out of the palms of her hands. That, combined with her PortalNetwork, greatly expands her InstantDeathRadius. The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku kekkai genkai is a much-weaker descendent of this power.
* BattleAura: She can conjure forth ''massive'' chakra arms. [[spoiler:She and Naruto [[RapidFireFisticuffs went]] ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' [[PummelDuel on each-other]], which she ended up winning, and later on she uses it to completely demolish Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo twice.]].
* BerserkButton: Flip-flopped. Reminding her of her sons seems to set her off at some times, though at other times it seems to awaken what humanity she has left.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:The ultimate villain of the story who is responsible for all of the conflict in the series through [[TheDragon Black Zetsu]]. However, she is sealed away for the vast majority of the manga, leaving Obito and Madara to drive the plot in her place. She is only able to be directly involved in the final arc, after Black Zetsu betrays Madara and uses his body to retake her physical form]].
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: She is easily the greatest threat in the series, but due to the fact that she's sealed away until the final arc she is overshadowed by more prominent villains such as Obito (the leader of the Akatsuki and [[TheHeavy is directly responsible for almost everything that happened in the series)]] and Madara (who caused Obito’s downfall and initiated the infinite Tsukuyomi plan)]].
* BigWhy: Lets one out upon her final defeat.
--> '''Kaguya''': To think that I... would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra... again! WHY?!
* BishounenLine: Can be considered this for [[spoiler:the Ten-Tails.]]
* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler:It takes Black Zetsu telling her to [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim just kill Naruto]] for her to actually try, despite seeing his skill level. This is a JustifiedTrope, since she wanted to absorb his chakra instead. Moreover, she ''is'' a [[PhysicalGod goddess]], with all the arrogance as this implies. After separating Naruto from Sasuke, she thought nothing could harm her; Black Zetsu, on the other hand, is far more pragmatic.]]
* BreathWeapon: In ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm4'', her Tailed Beast form can spit Tailed Beast Balls.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[spoiler:The only reason she doesn't immediately kill her opponents is because she wants to absorb their chakra. In the case of weaker opponents like Sakura and Kakashi, it appears she simply doesn't consider them worth the effort.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: [[spoiler:Very quickly, considering she isn't around long in chapter count. In the first few chapters that she's introduced, Kaguya is somewhat more talkative, we see more of a personality (such as her complex between motherly love for her sons and hatred toward them for unwittingly sealing her). Also, she was less reliant on Black Zetsu's commands.]]
* ClassicVillain: Kaguya encapsulates everything that the entire series describes as the epitome of evil. The series as a whole has two main {{Aesop}}s: [[ThePowerOfFriendship believe in others instead of relying on only yourself]] and [[SuperiorSuccessor for the older generation to know when to let the newer take over]]. Kaguya, however, was having ''none of that''. Being immortal eliminated any necessity for her to even care about newer generations, let alone surrender or share her power with them. When her sons inherited her power genetically, Kaguya's response was to try and take them out, thus unleashing horrible calamities upon the world.
** She does get more characterization in the anime where these traits are shown. Furthermore, the reason she attacked her sons was because they rebelled against her, due to her [[spoiler:sacrificing people to the Divine Tree]].
* ClippedWingAngel: She gets forced to [[spoiler:transform into the Ten-Tails after Naruto hits her with his Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, but it backfires due to the beasts' chakra being destabilized by the attack and she transforms into an amorphous mass instead. She's still dangerous due to being able to project chakra-draining tentacle-arms]]. Unusual for this trope, however, is that [[spoiler:she changes back to normal of her own accord after absorbing even more chakra as this form proves less than effective.]] Her [[spoiler:Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] form also qualifies, as while it's powerful enough to repel multiple powerful attacks it spends most of its time bound, gagged, and immobile.
* ComboPlatterPowers: She's basically a walking natural disaster.
* CompleteImmortality: [[spoiler:Appears to possess this. None of the other characters have the power that could even kill her, not even her own two sons, who are also god-like beings themselves. The only way to stop her was to seal her away, preventing her from turning humanity into Zetsus. Assuming it were even possible for her to die, she may well reincarnate as strong as ever just as the tailed beasts can.]]
* CovertPervert: [[spoiler:She acts like she's above her humanity and human concerns, but when Naruto uses his Sexy Jutsu on her, ''it actually works''. That said, she seems more confused by it then actually falling for it, as she gives a variation of a FlatWhat.]]
* CryCute[=/=]DeathGlare: Not ''cute'', but the soft face she has when [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke briefly remind her of her sons could count and the change in her demeanor is noticeable. Then she declares she hates them, making good use of all three of her eyes]].
* DarkActionGirl: Massively downplayed; while she is incredibly powerful and one of Naruto's most challenging foes, she is also a terrible fighter who doesn't know how to use the majority of her powers and mostly relies on her [[UnskilledButStrong brute strength]].
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: She ate the chakra fruit to become a goddess in order to make a safe world for her sons. However, [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide she began losing it because of her power]] and she lost sight of her goal. Her sons rebelling against her didn't help matters.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: A massive one of both the ConservationOfNinjutsu and UnskilledButStrong tropes.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Subverted, [[spoiler: Hagoromo and Hamura could only ''seal'' her at best in the past and once she appears in the present, Naruto and Sasuke never even mention the possibility of coming up with a strategy to ultimately defeat her with; they immediately decide that the only way they can win is by sealing her again]].
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Her entire motivation to turn most of the world's human populace into Zetsus seem to be this. It was probably why she absorbed the Divine Tree at one point as well. Unlike [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Madara's or Obito's motives]], she just wanted all the power in the world for herself, or at least this turned into her motivation after her heart died. The anime-expanded backstory subverts this. She once possessed the same dream her sons did, but tried to do it all on her own, though even then she was violent and emotionally distant, with her idea of "peace" being far from what her sons desired.]]
* DiabolusExNihilo: Kaguya summarized in 3 words. [[spoiler:After as the story makes it clear that Madara has won and Kaguya fits the description on the trope page to a T. And that was really the only lasting impact of Kaguya's brief appearance, though it did set up the scene for the long awaited final showdown between Naruto and Sasuke]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: Naruto and Sasuke rush her from either side with the seals. She tries to get to a portal to dimension jump but is thwarted by ''Sakura'' [[FauxActionGirl of all]] [[TheLoad people]] dropping down on her from above and hitting her with a normal punch. Giving time for the boys to hit her with the seals.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: For being born with chakra that she didn't have [[spoiler:Kaguya turned herself into an EldritchAbomination and rampaged across the world while trying to eat her sons]]. Averted in the expanded backstory of the anime, where [[spoiler:they confronted her first for sacrificing people to the Divine Tree. Then played straight again in that trying to "take them back" (i.e. eat them) was her response to them ''daring'' to question and oppose her methods. Even Hagoromo pleading for her to remember the love she once had inside her is only responded to with abject refusal]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: During battle she actually turned off her Byakugan to [[spoiler:check out Naruto's Sexy Jutsu. She gets distracted by eleven hot naked men long enough for Naruto to successfully land a punch on her]].
* TheDreaded: Kaguya was originally hailed as a goddess for stopping all wars around the world, but since her tactics involved sheer power and violence and she could cast natural disasters upon her foes she became feared as a demon. [[spoiler:It turned out that the demon moniker was a (very apt) reference to her form as the Ten-Tails.]]
* DullSurprise: Noticeably averted. Due to her status as TheQuietOne, her expressions do a lot of her talking for her. Kishimoto's pretty good about this in general, but seems to have taken extra care with Kaguya.
* EnergyAbsorption: She's capable of draining chakra from jutsu as well as people. [[spoiler:Because of this, she can easily NoSell ordinary jutsu, including the likes of Amaterasu.]]
* EvilMatriarch: Of the dramatic variety. She and her first two sons had a... falling out over her methods of achieving peace. It came to [[spoiler:blows when she grew jealous of the power they inherited from her and she transformed into a monster to take it back.]]
** In the anime-expanded backstory, it's said the falling out was the result of [[spoiler:her sons horrified by her sacrificing people to the Divine Tree and rebelling]].
* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler:She was in competition with Momoshiki, whom she feared enough that she tried to make a Zetsu army.]]
* ExtraEyes: Once she eats the chakra fruit, she develops a third eye on her forehead.
* {{Fallen Hero}}ine: The anime makes her a full heroine during her flashbacks with noble intentions and even capable of love and friendship to a debatable degree (even at this time she seemed to have something of a odd sense of morality). War traumatized her and she took on the responsibility of the world after losing her friend and having to kill her lover in order to protect her unborn children. Unfortunately, power corrupts and with her experiences, she began on the fall. [[spoiler:Hagoromo confirms that she indeed used to have good intentions. He's unsure why she committed a FaceHeelTurn but speculates that eating the chakra fruit had something to do with it.]]
* {{Familiar}}: [[spoiler:Black Zetsu]] is this to some extent, containing Kaguya's will and [[spoiler:orchestrating her resurrection]]. He hides in her left sleeve, providing pointers and using his power to drain chakra when he gets the chance.
* FatalFlaw:
** {{Greed}}. Her need to own everything lead to her [[spoiler:being stuck as the Ten-Tails]]. But her Gluttony is even worse, Kaguya's overindulgence causes her to make many, many, ''many'' mistakes.
** She also couldn't trust in other people and so like others after her, would try and shoulder the burden of caring for the world herself and thus ate the chakra fruit. This led to pretty much every single disaster.
* FairytaleMotifs: She's named after and based on Princess Kaguya from the ''Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'', one of the oldest Japanese legends. Her Tailed Beast form and epithet of the Rabbit Goddess also draw inspiration from the MoonRabbit.
* FemmeFatalons: Her nails are shown to be quite long and pointed at the tips.
* FinalBoss: Kaguya is the ultimate source of evil throughout the entire original series, indirectly responsible for every major villain and serves as the final antagonist of the manga.
* FinalBossNewDimension: [[spoiler:She has six, in fact: Genesis (which connects to the other five), lava (how she starts the fight), ice (to freeze Naruto and Sasuke the first time they nearly touch her), sand (throws Sasuke into it to separate him from Naruto), gravity (which even affects her), and acid (which Sakura and Obito unintentionally opened while trying to retrieve Sasuke from the aforementioned sand dimension, but Kaguya never actually uses it herself).]]
* FinalExamBoss: [[spoiler:Shaping into one for Naruto requiring not only all his newfound tailed beast and Asura powers, but a lot of call backs to his earliest techniques. Specifically the Sexy Jutsu, the first technique we ever saw him use, and Naruto Uzumaki Barrage.]]
* FlatCharacter: The person she was before she went crazy and tried to kill her sons to take back the chakra they "stole" from her is long gone. Outside of her greed (which is never even really explained) Kaguya has no personality.
** Fortunately, [[AdaptationExpansion the anime has fleshed her out substantially]]. Even then, she was TheQuietOne and while she did care for the people in her life (notably her handmaiden and her lover, the Emperor,) she very rarely openly showed it.
** The Sequel would end up adding that she didn't came alone originally, however she suddenly decided to betray her fellow comrade before eating the chakra fruit, setting up the scene for more development.
* FlashStep: [[spoiler:She moves from several meters away from Sakura to ''right next to her'' in the time it takes for her to turn around.]]
* FlechetteStorm: She can fire her individual hairs as a barrage of needles, which, coupled with her Byakugan, allows her to strike and disrupt people's chakra points from long range.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Madara's fight with Naruto, [[spoiler:a mysterious voice tells him to absorb the Divine Tree and when he does, we're treated to a black panel showing only a pair of Byakugan and a Rinne Sharingan eye. Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, her grinning silhouette appears to overlook the entire landscape. This foreshadows the fact that she had ''far'' more to do with the plot than simply being a [[NeglectfulPrecursors Neglectful Precursor]]. Arguably foreshadowed even earlier. When the Ten-Tails finished its maturation and its rage towards Naruto manifested, or when Obito lost control over the beast and bloated up like Madara did until he overpowered Kaguya's will.]]
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A possible case of this.[[spoiler:She doesn't blow Naruto and Sasuke away with her chakra arms like ''she did three times before in the battle''. Black Zetsu claims that she doesn't have enough time to summon a portal, but she can clearly do so in a split second, and she even considers retreating to the ice dimension. That said, she ultimately decides to save energy and just dodge the sealing (and would have succeeded), only to have Sakura intercept and strike her from above. Briefly stunned, at that point she likely didn't have time to do anything.]]
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: [[spoiler:She apparently has an acid dimension, but the audience only sees it when Sakura and Obito unintentionally open it. May be justified given the example of how she is herself subject to the gravity dimension's effects, and thus it's likely the acid dimension would be dangerous to her as well.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Kaguya has little characterization beyond her general stoic nature and being the source of all chakra. Even her motive for turning almost everyone into White Zetsus remains unknown. However, her backstory is revealed in a filler arc (starting with episode 460). Lampshaded by Naruto, who notes that of all the people he'd fought she was the only one who he felt like had no heart at all. The Sage notes that she wasn't always like that, and speculates that it had something to do with her eating the chakra fruit.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She was effectively queen of the world for a time, using her power and wisdom to rule and guide humanity. However, over time, their worship gave her an ''obscene ego'' and she would no longer tolerate neither disobedience or lack of reverence. She was eventually regarded as more of a ''demon'' than a queen or a goddess, and she willingly became a ''literal'' demon when threats to her power eventually came along. That said, even her "benevolent" phase was something of a lie, as her subjects were simply ignorant of the fact that they were the few who had been spared the fate she inflicted on the rest of humanity during the first Infinite Tsukuyomi.
* GrandTheftMe: Kaguya [[spoiler:being the Ten- Tails, uses Black Zetsu to take over Madara's body. It's implied she would have done the same to Obito had he not managed to overpower her will beforehand]].
* GravityMaster: She has access to a dimension of greatly increased gravity, though she is just as vulnerable to it as her opponents. Combined with her ranged bone attacks, however, that drawback is minor.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:She's the instigator of everything in the series, and the true identity of the Ten-Tails. Black Zetsu is a manifestation of her will, and caused everything in the series to resurrect her. She gets directly involved as the FinalBoss in the last arc, but her lack of prior involvement or even awareness of what is happening while she's sealed away gives Obito and Madara more recognizable claims to the main antagonist role.]]
* {{Greed}}: Kaguya wants all chakra for herself, that is her primary motivation.
* GreenThumb: She is merged with and can control [[spoiler:the Divine Tree, granting her the Wood Release kekkai genkai]].
* HairRaisingHare: Kaguya was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, and [[spoiler:her unstable Tailed Beast form resembles a giant three-eyed rabbit with a massive tail studded with the heads of the nine Tailed Beasts and ten hand-tipped tentacles.]]
* HeroicLineage: The Hyuga, Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans are all descendants of hers, inheriting fragments of the power she acquired from the Divine Tree's fruit.
* HijackingCthulhu: It's revealed that [[spoiler:she merged with the Divine Tree and became the Ten-Tailed Beast itself, the tree having lacked sapience before this]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Kaguya doomed herself when she gave birth to two sons. [[spoiler:They rebelled against her ways, sealed her and gave access to chakra to humans. Said humans had around a millenia to get used to and master chakra usage. By the time she managed to return, there were people at least in theory capable of opposing her.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: She ''looks'' superficially human but possesses horns, [[ProphetEyes the Byakugan]], a ThirdEye combining the Rinnegan and Sharingan, [[spoiler:and enough chakra to dwarf the ''Ten-Tails'']]. Plus, she lived during a time when humans were without chakra and was thus viewed as a PhysicalGod and demon. [[spoiler:She also transformed into the Ten-Tailed Beast in order to reclaim the chakra she'd passed on to her sons.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** All that power she has at her command [[spoiler: and it's just an unexpected EnhancedPunch from Sakura that ultimately enables her to be defeated.]]
** [[spoiler:Despite having won the largest SuperpowerLottery in the entire manga and having the chakra and (very questionably) the abilities of every ninja and Tailed beast on record, she doesn't use even one ability other than her own and probably doesn't know how.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: She thinks that [[spoiler:all Chakra should belong solely to ''her''. Even her beloved sons were not exempt from her greed]].
** Subverted to a degree in the anime. [[spoiler:Everything she did, including eating the fruit, was done to protect her sons and home. But war and betrayal led her unable to trust anyone else to do what she thought was needed. Even in the anime though, she was presented as being aloof with humanity and so when war and strife happened, she succumbed to despair and proceeded to become a goddess.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Just like [[spoiler:Jinchuuriki!Obito and Jinchuuriki!Madara]] before her, she's dressed in a white robe. This does not make her saintly in the slightest.
* LikeAGodToMe: Some revered her as the [[MoonRabbit "Rabbit Goddess"]] for her power.
* MagicalEye: She has the original Byakugan for her regular eyes, and a ThirdEye called the Rinne Sharingan, which combines the powers of the Rinnegan and Sharingan.
* MakeThemRot: Being struck by her ''bones'' has this effect.
* TheManBehindTheMan: After [[spoiler:Madara absorbs the Divine Tree upon direction from a mysterious voice, a blacked out panel shows a pair of glaring Byakugan and a third eye that looks like a combination of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, and when he activates the Eternal Tsukuyomi a spectral image of her sporting a SlasherSmile can be seen with the moon itself as her ThirdEye]]. This is cemented when [[spoiler:Black Zetsu is revealed to be a manifestation of ''her'' will, and [[HijackedByGanon literally stabs Madara in the back, transfers itself to him]], and transforms him into Kaguya herself.]]
* ManaDrain: Her hair can drain chakra, [[spoiler:and she can also use Black Zetsu to drain those her hair can't]].
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:She used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an army of Zetsu]].
* MoonRabbit:
** Named for the moon princess of Shinto legend, and has [[HornedHumanoid horns]] that appear like a rabbit's ears on her head. She's revered as the [[LikeAGodToMe "Rabbit Goddess"]] by some ages past. Interestingly, she existed ''before'' her son created the moon, and [[spoiler:was sealed inside the moon as the Ten-Tails]].
** [[spoiler:Her mutated unstable form resembles a gigantic rabbit with a massive sphere-shaped tail with ten tentacles and the heads of the other tailed beasts attached, fulfilling her namesake.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: [[spoiler:At least part of her motivation for trying to take back her sons' chakra was because she hated the idea of her boys becoming independent. Naruto calls her out on it. Explored and elaborated in the anime. After witnessing intense warfare and her lover trying to kill her to try and restore order, she ate the fruit and became all-powerful. Everything she did since was to try and protect her children and give them a good world, but her loss of her connection to humanity meant she would never be able to fully understand her sons since they were half-human, good men like their father.]]
* NeverMyFault: At least post insanity, the very possibility of her being wrong never seems to occur to her. Even when she is beaten, her reaction is simple disbelief at the injustice of her falling to chakras lesser than her own.
* NightmareFace: Sports one when she reaffirms her desire to kill [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke and consume their chakra.]] After being presented as a completely in-control PerpetualFrowner, it's a bit jarring to see that she really ''could'' be insane.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Her ancient noblewoman-esque look, horns and third eye make her stand out from the cast in general, but she especially stands out in comparison to other women in the series; despite having a more classically feminine appearance, she's drawn more sharply and with a colder look about her than other female characters, including other villains.
** [[FridgeBrilliance Then recall she is from a far-off land and considering her inspiration, she may even be from the stars.]] The anime even shows us she arrived on what looked like a shooting star. Of course she would look a bit strange; she's a HumanAlien.
* NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:She basically ignores Kakashi and Sakura, instead focusing her efforts on defeating the much stronger Naruto and Sasuke. This attitude ultimately proves fatal, as both Kakashi and Sakura end up being instrumental in her defeat.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: She wanted to eat her sons because [[SarcasmMode they had the gall]] to be born with chakra.
** Expanded in the anime; [[spoiler:after they learned the truth about the Divine Tree: it drains the life away from the world and she is sacrificing people to it, they learned the Sage Arts to fight her.]]
* OhCrap: The look on her face when [[spoiler: Sakura's punch sets her right up for Naruto and Sasuke to seal her]] is ''priceless''.
* OneWingedAngel:
** When she realized just how much power she'd passed on to her sons, [[spoiler:she [[HijackingCthulhu merged with the Divine Tree]] and turned into the Ten-Tails to take her chakra back]]. After having all of her chakra removed [[spoiler:she is transformed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which while vastly weaker than her Ten-Tailed Beast form is still powerful enough to NoSell powerful attacks]].
** When she's hit by [[spoiler:nine Rasenshurikens, each empowered by one of the nine beasts, she tries to turn into the Juubi but the beasts try to break free, causing her to mutate into a massive fanged rabbit with the ThirdEye of the Ten-Tails and the nine beasts' heads protruding from her tail]].
* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:''Nobody'' saw her coming, not even Madara himself, who knew of her but not of her significance. Even Hagoromo never realized that she was the Ten-Tails, something Black Zetsu mocks. Interestingly, this actually works both ways: She initially mistook Naruto and Sasuke for being her own sons' reincarnations, rather than her grandsons' via Hagoromo. She doesn't appear to be fully up on recent events, which is justified considering she spent most of ninja history as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Completely justified, because Black Zetsu, who is a brilliant enough ChessMaster to claim to have orchestrated '''[[UpToEleven all of ninja history]]''', deliberately erased almost all records of her to ensure that nobody was prepared to fight her.]]
* PartsUnknown: She came from some distant, unheard of, foreign land. Not even her son knows where she's from as she refused to tell him. Later material would clarify that her clan are dimension travelers that have visited many planets, though it's still unknown just where they originally came from.
* PerpetualFrowner: Except for the time she sported a SlasherSmile.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: She single handedly stopped all conventional war by herself (by killing all who opposed her), and was worshipped as a goddess until her insanity became obvious.
* PhysicalGoddess: Like her son the Sage of Six Paths, she was incredibly powerful. Unlike him, she was also variously worshipped as a goddess or considered a demon. She was also the only person who had chakra at first, which put her way above the rest of humanity in general.
* PlantPerson: She could use a kekkei mora version of Nativity of a World of Trees to create massive roots linked to the Divine Tree that assimilate people, [[spoiler:and eventually merged with the Divine Tree itself to become the Ten-Tails]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Like her son, is only referred to in past tense. [[spoiler:Unlike him, she re-attains her body in the flesh.]]
* PowerFloats: [[spoiler:Like Obito and Madara. Unlike them, she seems to prefer floating over standing. We've never managed to see her legs because of this.]]
* PowerOfTheStorm: In a flashback she was shown causing a massive thunderstorm, possibly with Tenpenchii.
* PrehensileHair: Not only is it prehensile, it can drain chakra. [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke avoid this fate thanks to the powers they got from the Sage.]]
* TheQuietOne: The majority of her dialogue consists of her making brief statements to other characters, and she only once acknowledges a question she receives.
** Even back in the ancient times shown in the anime, she was this. She maintained an aloofness to everyone, including her lover and her handmaiden, the two people closest to her before she became a mother. This in turn shows that she is a HumanAlien and more-or-less shows her lack of true connection with humanity.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is over twice as long as she is tall.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: UpToEleven, as ridiculous as that sounds. [[spoiler:Naruto, who had previously confirmed that it was pointless to attempt to meassure the Ten-Tails' chakra levels due to it being, quite simply, immeasurable states that Kaguya's chakra levels are ''even greater'' than the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]]'... Which kinda makes sense since she has access to the chakra of both the Ten-Tails ''and'' the entire shinobi world.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Kakashi compares her manipulation of dimensions with Genjutsu but they are all real. Thankfully for the heroes, she's too occupied with the idea of [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou absorbing their chakra]] to even think of [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim simply blinking them out of existence]].]]
* RedBaron: She was either worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, or feared as the [[spoiler:Ten-Tails]] Demon.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: She is named after the moon princess of Shinto legend, Kaguya. One of her monikers was even [[MoonRabbit Rabbit Goddess]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Her sons sealed her away a long time ago in a sealing stone that became known as the Moon (though they did not know Kaguya's mind was still present, believing the Ten Tails had subsumed her). [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke manage to do the same in the present, this time throwing Black Zetsu in with her to make sure her munitions are thwarted for good. And this time she's sealed in a can within an even bigger can, namely her own dimension which very few beings aside from herself can access. This time she's locked in a double safe with almost all the keys thrown in for good measure to ensure she's sealed forever.]]
* SheWhoFightsMonsters: She put an end all the wars that plagued her world. Unfortunately, her power was too much and she eventually lost control and became corrupted. [[spoiler:In a literal example, she became the Ten-Tails EldritchAbomination after absorbing the Divine Tree and ended up as a Demonic Statue that couldn't return to her human form until recovering all her chakra back.]]
* ShockAndAwe: She's been shown to bring down lightning storms in a flashback.
* ShroudedInMyth: Subverted, as nobody knows about her; the first one to mention her name was Madara halfway through the War arc. [[spoiler:She was deliberately erased from the history books as part of Black Zetsu's GambitRoulette and what little is known about her comes from the Uchiha stone tablet, which was "edited" by Black Zetsu. Not even her son knows everything about her.]]
* SlasherSmile: Her silhouette sports one as she [[spoiler:ominously overlooks the landscape once Madara activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This particularly stands out, as she's otherwise a PerpetualFrowner.]]
* SpikesOfDoom: Bone spikes jut out of her when she uses her Dead Bone Pulse techniques.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:According to Amado, Kaguya was meant to be fed to the Ten-Tails while the higher-ranking Isshiki watches over the tree's growth. However, Kaguya betrayed and severely injured Isshiki before that can happen. Fearing retaliation, she began creating an army of White Zetsu and merged with the Divine Tree to become the Ten-Tails.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:The only reason the manga didn't end with her resurrection is because she needs Naruto and Sasuke's chakra. See SuperpowerLottery down below.]]
* SummonMagic: She has six personal dimensions she can either summon or teleport to at will. The ones shown so far include a volcano, a glacier, a desert, a sea of acid, and a tundra which serves as the HubLevel for the other five. This allows her to either completely change the environment on a whim, or dodge attacks by moving between dimensions. She can also pull her opponents into different dimensions to keep them from coordinating, though this requires she directly force them into a portal.
* SuperPowerLottery: [[spoiler:Being the source of all chakra on Earth, and having absorbed the chakra power of every shinobi living, she essentially has every single power seen in the Naruto universe, and at least in theory (though clearly not in practice), should be capable of using those jutsu in far more powerful ways than any other ninja could. She's got the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, the Byakugan, the original chakra from the Divine Tree's fruit plus the combined chakra of basically the entire Shinobi Alliance and being the Juubi, she has all Tailed Beast abilities and those of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, WeatherManipulation powers, Sage Mode and Senjutsu attacks, SummonMagic so powerful it's just one step away from [[RealityWarper reality warping]], extremely versatile space-time Jutsu comprising of instant, untraceable teleportation and the ability to open portals at will and use them for long range attacks, a BattleAura even better than Naruto's and just as versatile, and finally has OneHitKill bone attacks. All of her techniques and powers are so far above normal ninjutsu and even kekkai genkai - even her Byakugan and bone manipulation, which other characters in the series have possessed - that they're considered unique and referred to as kekkai mora. None of the techniques she uses require her to weave hand signs either.]]
* ThinkingUpPortals: She can open and move through portals.
* ThirdEye: She has the Rinne Sharingan, which as its name suggests has the combined powers of both a Rinnegan and Sharingan, and [[spoiler:enables her to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.]]
* ThisCannotBe: Her reaction to [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke managing to seal her yet again]].
* ThoughtControlledPower: Her powers do not require hand seals nor does she need to [[CallingYourAttack call her attacks,]] ''nor'' is there any channeling time for any of her abilities.
* TransformationOfThePossessed: [[spoiler:When she steals Madara's body, she converts it into her own form.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: [[spoiler:She's ''the'' most powerful being in the entire Ninja world, able to create dimensions and manipulate reality on a scale nobody can come close to, has several overpowered abilities that could have easily killed the heroes, and she has the most Chakra of any living being in existance. She's flat out even stronger then Madara Uchiha, the arguably most powerful mortal person, and Team 7 had to pull out all the stops to seal her, not kill her. However, Kaguya seemingly has little real combat training whatsoever, merely relying on her overwhelming power to try and kill Team 7, or listening to Black Zetsu for instructions. As a result, despite her godly power, the heroes are able to seal her away and stop her. She also started the final battle focusing on stealing the chakra of Naruto and Sasuke, meaning that by the time she got serious, Team 7 had already learned her abilities enough to counter her. This seems to lie in the fact that Kaguya was never a fighter; having simply ate the fruit of the Divine Tree, she, if ever challenged, could simply use her overwhelming power to defeat her foes, but against people with powers capable of effecting her, her raw power wasn't enough to win.]]
* UnstablePoweredWoman: She is the instigator of nearly all of the story's events. There are a lot of conflicting stories and ideas about exactly what type of person she was beforehand, but it's generally believed that she had at least somewhat noble goals until absolute power went to her head. She comes from a race of "celestial beings" that travel to planets to plant and grow a "Divine Tree", an alien plant form that drains its inhabitants of their life force to grow a fruit that embodies all the drained physical and spiritual energy. The fruit from the tree grants those who eat it access to a power that comes to be called "chakra". Originally, she and another relative came to take the fruit for the benefit of their clan, but she (possibly) decided to protect the Earth and its inhabitants instead, eventually falling in love with a human emperor and becoming his concubine (or, alternatively, she decided to rebel against her clan just as much for the sake of wanting all the power of the chakra fruit for herself, protecting the Earth being more about protecting herself than the humans). While she was pregnant, an invasion from another nation led to the death of her friend and attendant, and Kaguya lost all faith in humanity, decided to eat the fruit (as she had originally planned to do) and create peace by force. In doing so she initiated the first Infinite Tsukuyomi and ended the world as it was, only freeing enough humans to keep them from going extinct, and erasing their memories so they did not know what she had done. She became worshipped as a goddess, and this eventually went to her head, where she became so power-hungry that when her sons manifested the ability to use chakra, she tried to take it back under the belief that chakra should belong to her alone.
* VillainousBreakdown: A very brief one after Naruto and Sasuke manage to seal her for good. She also loses it when the Tailed Beasts try to escape from her.
* VillainousGlutton: In a sense. [[spoiler: After they survive the volcano, the only reason she doesn't straight up kill Naruto and Sasuke is because she thirsts for their chakra.]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: As she is [[spoiler:being sealed away again, her rabbit-monster head pukes up Madara's body]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Her entire existence is this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She has shades of this, which are expanded on in the anime, however even then she is something of a mixed example. She escaped the rest of her clan, who she describes as knowing nothing of love, and tries to give love with humans a chance while waiting for the time to come for her to consume the chakra fruit and gain power to fight back against her clan when they inevitably will come to Earth. However, even before consuming the fruit her interactions with others are notably manipulative and self-serving (she wipes the emperor's mind of their first meeting and places herself as an accepted part of his household) and distant, and she is all too quick to resort to slaughter when confronted by kidnappers, despite clearly having the power to stop her attackers without killing them. Despite this, she did legitimately care about her loved ones such as the Emperor and her handmaiden to some extent. She only cracks when her handmaiden is killed... by her own lover who is trying to execute her to restore order. Once she consumes the fruit her desire for peace becomes utterly totalitarian, she refuses to even consider her son's pleas for her to remember to love others, and Naruto eventually describes her as being the only enemy he ever faced who he felt had no heart at all. In the end her desire for peace seemed to be as a vague concept of no active opposition to her will, regardless of how much suffering and killing she inflicted to keep it that way.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Even after [[spoiler:she is sealed again]], the manga gives vague details about her backstory or motives at best. Even her own son admits that he doesn't know much about her as she refused to say much of herself even to him. Only time will tell if this trope holds up.
** The anime has a filler arc [[AdaptationExpansion showing and expanding on her backstory]]. She's a rather FlatCharacter in the manga, so it's sorely needed and a rare example of filler that most fans consider justified.
** The anime does show us how she came to the land as well as her time as a concubine and lover to the Emperor of the region (who would father her children) along with her friend and the events that came to lead her to eat the fruit. Even with all that though, very little is known about Kaguya's motives or mental state at the time.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: '''Big time'''. According to one of her sons, the Sage, this is what happened to her due to being so disproportionately powerful compared to everyone else. She initially used her power to pacify conflict through brute force, and with time, it got worse as she would kill any who opposed her. The fact that she was already pretty aloof and not well-attached to humanity before consuming the fruit did not help matters at all. Upon eating the fruit her sanity descended so far that [[spoiler:she also made most of humanity into {{Empty Shell}}s to serve as her toy soldiers, with the motive of using them to help fight against the rest of her clan]].
** And then it got '''much''' worse when she realized how much chakra she had passed on to her sons. [[spoiler:To get back her power, she merged with the Divine Tree and together they became the Ten-Tails, with her consciousness driving its rampage. That's right, this woman turned into a truly insane, absolutely berserk EldritchAbomination by fusing with a divine tree to get back her power from her sons.]]
** What caused the above notion as shown in the anime was her sons rebelling against her because of her extreme actions resulting in the deaths of innocents to feed the Divine Tree's (and thus herself) power. Her sons also wanted to confront her peacefully, but she refused to even consider their arguments, almost immediately judging them as being worthy of death for disobeying her.
* WizardsFromOuterSpace: She is the origin of [[LifeEnergy chakra]] in the entire ''Naruto'' world who came from outer space/another dimension. She has highly powerful chakra abilities born from cultivating a Divine Tree that would bear chakra granting fruit.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: In the ''Shippudden'' {{filler}} episodes about her backstory, it's shown that her otherworldly beauty was known far and wide, and that it even caused a war between two countries.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: She's stated by her son, The Sage of the Six Paths, to be the most powerful being that ever lived, since she was the one who claimed the power of chakra on Earth in the first place. She was a [[PhysicalGod Physical Goddess]] while he was a "mere" demigod in comparison. [[spoiler:And she doesn't disappoint when she shows up in person. And even then she is holding back, as she is trying to absorb Naruto and Sasuke's chakra, plus she's an utter novice at actual fighting. Without both of those caveats, she'd have killed them in seconds]].

!!Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamiKoyama (Japanese), Cissy Jones (English)
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 679 (Manga), ''Shippuden'' Episode 458 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaguyastorm4.png]]
The originator of chakra on Earth, as a result of eating a chakra fruit from the Divine Tree, and the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo, as well as Hamura, the younger twin and the one who went to the Moon. She is also notably the only full blooded female Ōtsutsuki so far seen.
----
* AbusivePrecursors: Her sons had noble intentions, but were sabotaged at least. She was seemingly this. [[WellIntentionedExtremist She was actually somewhat benevolent in her anime-expanded backstory,]] but having seen war and gaining god-like power caused her to detach herself from humanity.
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime gives Kaguya more characterization, including more frequent dialogue and a more detailed backstory.
* AfterTheEnd: She caused the Naruto world to experience a downplayed and unusual variant of it. By casting the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, she turned most of humanity into food for the Divine Tree, only freeing enough of them to keep humans from going extinct and enabling them to restart a few small societies. Said societies initially worshiped her as a goddess, but would come to fear her as a demon. Not much is known of humanity before the first Infinite Tsukuyomi, but having reduced humanity to only a fragment of its former population and having them settle near where she lived may explain why even a thousand years later the Naruto world's civilizations seem relatively geographically near to and similar to each other (all speaking mostly the same language for instance), as well as why there are never any mentions of societies outside of the ninja nations and samurai even existing in the current world. The constant wars and low life expectancy that characterized much of the history of the world Kaguya left behind would further stifle the low starting populations from growing and expanding.
* AmbiguousDisorder: She's implied to have some form of disorder due to her aloof nature and not normally showing emotions, appearing near emotionless around the father of her sons, not even showing visible emotion around the servant she was attached to until the girl died trying to protect Kaguya. When other members of the clan appear in ''Boruto'' they act much more human, albeit as SmugSnake villains.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Her place of origin is unknown [[spoiler:even to her sons]] and her HornedHumanoid appearance coupled with MonochromaticEyes suggests she might have been an alien unless she gained those traits from consuming the Divine Tree's fruit. The fourth databook ambiguously states she is from another land.
** The anime more or less tells us she is from the stars.
** Later material would clarify that she is of a race of parasitic aliens that traverse multiple dimensions to drain worlds of life to enhance their own power and lifespan.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Naruto cuts off her left arm, mostly as a ShutUpHannibal toward Black Zetsu, who was residing in the sleeve. She regenerates the arm almost immediately, while Black Zetsu remains with the original arm, capable of opening up portals and firing bones from it, and ultimately gets thrown up with it as Kaguya is resealed.]]
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:An immortal goddess trapped in the moon by her sons for possibly millennia with the Ten-Tails' dessicated husk for a body. She briefly regains her body only to be trapped in the same way again, and now she's in another dimension to boot.]]
* AncientAstronauts: She came to the ninja world from another world before chakra was known on Earth.
* AncientEvil: She was abusive to her subjects more than a thousand years ago and has been sealed since being defeated by her sons.
* AnimalMotifs: Rabbits. Her horns resemble rabbit ears and before she went insane she was referred to as the Rabbit Goddess. [[spoiler:Even her OneWingedAngel form where she transforms into the Ten-Tails resembles a rabbit.]]
* AntagonistAbilities: [[spoiler:Via EnergyAbsorption, she absorbs all the chakra of the Shinobi Alliance, on top of her own massive chakra levels. She is also a RealityWarper capable of bending space and time to place her opponents into near-instant-death scenarios, and her primary form of offense are bones that MakeThemRot.]]
* TheAssimilator: Her ultimate aim is to [[spoiler:collect the chakra from everyone in the world into herself and convert most of them into White Zetsu soldiers under her control, creating an army large enough to combat Momoshiki and Kinshiki and any other members of her clan that could threaten her. The ones who aren't turned into White Zetsus will be enslaved to her will.]]
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Many readers believed that her entire purpose to the plot is to [[spoiler: kill off Madara and Obito.]] But in hindsight her real purpose is obviously to extend the series.
* BadWithTheBone: Like Kimimaro, she can manipulate her skeletal structure. Her bones, however, also [[OneHitKill immediately kill whatever they hit]].
* BallisticBone: She can manipulate her skeletal structure to perform techniques such as firing bone arrows out of the palms of her hands. That, combined with her PortalNetwork, greatly expands her InstantDeathRadius. The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku kekkai genkai is a much-weaker descendent of this power.
* BattleAura: She can conjure forth ''massive'' chakra arms. [[spoiler:She and Naruto [[RapidFireFisticuffs went]] ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' [[PummelDuel on each-other]], which she ended up winning, and later on she uses it to completely demolish Sasuke's Perfect Susanoo twice.]].
* BerserkButton: Flip-flopped. Reminding her of her sons seems to set her off at some times, though at other times it seems to awaken what humanity she has left.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:The ultimate villain of the story who is responsible for all of the conflict in the series through [[TheDragon Black Zetsu]]. However, she is sealed away for the vast majority of the manga, leaving Obito and Madara to drive the plot in her place. She is only able to be directly involved in the final arc, after Black Zetsu betrays Madara and uses his body to retake her physical form]].
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler: She is easily the greatest threat in the series, but due to the fact that she's sealed away until the final arc she is overshadowed by more prominent villains such as Obito (the leader of the Akatsuki and [[TheHeavy is directly responsible for almost everything that happened in the series)]] and Madara (who caused Obito’s downfall and initiated the infinite Tsukuyomi plan)]].
* BigWhy: Lets one out upon her final defeat.
--> '''Kaguya''': To think that I... would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra... again! WHY?!
* BishounenLine: Can be considered this for [[spoiler:the Ten-Tails.]]
* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler:It takes Black Zetsu telling her to [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim just kill Naruto]] for her to actually try, despite seeing his skill level. This is a JustifiedTrope, since she wanted to absorb his chakra instead. Moreover, she ''is'' a [[PhysicalGod goddess]], with all the arrogance as this implies. After separating Naruto from Sasuke, she thought nothing could harm her; Black Zetsu, on the other hand, is far more pragmatic.]]
* BreathWeapon: In ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm4'', her Tailed Beast form can spit Tailed Beast Balls.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[spoiler:The only reason she doesn't immediately kill her opponents is because she wants to absorb their chakra. In the case of weaker opponents like Sakura and Kakashi, it appears she simply doesn't consider them worth the effort.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: [[spoiler:Very quickly, considering she isn't around long in chapter count. In the first few chapters that she's introduced, Kaguya is somewhat more talkative, we see more of a personality (such as her complex between motherly love for her sons and hatred toward them for unwittingly sealing her). Also, she was less reliant on Black Zetsu's commands.]]
* ClassicVillain: Kaguya encapsulates everything that the entire series describes as the epitome of evil. The series as a whole has two main {{Aesop}}s: [[ThePowerOfFriendship believe in others instead of relying on only yourself]] and [[SuperiorSuccessor for the older generation to know when to let the newer take over]]. Kaguya, however, was having ''none of that''. Being immortal eliminated any necessity for her to even care about newer generations, let alone surrender or share her power with them. When her sons inherited her power genetically, Kaguya's response was to try and take them out, thus unleashing horrible calamities upon the world.
** She does get more characterization in the anime where these traits are shown. Furthermore, the reason she attacked her sons was because they rebelled against her, due to her [[spoiler:sacrificing people to the Divine Tree]].
* ClippedWingAngel: She gets forced to [[spoiler:transform into the Ten-Tails after Naruto hits her with his Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, but it backfires due to the beasts' chakra being destabilized by the attack and she transforms into an amorphous mass instead. She's still dangerous due to being able to project chakra-draining tentacle-arms]]. Unusual for this trope, however, is that [[spoiler:she changes back to normal of her own accord after absorbing even more chakra as this form proves less than effective.]] Her [[spoiler:Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] form also qualifies, as while it's powerful enough to repel multiple powerful attacks it spends most of its time bound, gagged, and immobile.
* ComboPlatterPowers: She's basically a walking natural disaster.
* CompleteImmortality: [[spoiler:Appears to possess this. None of the other characters have the power that could even kill her, not even her own two sons, who are also god-like beings themselves. The only way to stop her was to seal her away, preventing her from turning humanity into Zetsus. Assuming it were even possible for her to die, she may well reincarnate as strong as ever just as the tailed beasts can.]]
* CovertPervert: [[spoiler:She acts like she's above her humanity and human concerns, but when Naruto uses his Sexy Jutsu on her, ''it actually works''. That said, she seems more confused by it then actually falling for it, as she gives a variation of a FlatWhat.]]
* CryCute[=/=]DeathGlare: Not ''cute'', but the soft face she has when [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke briefly remind her of her sons could count and the change in her demeanor is noticeable. Then she declares she hates them, making good use of all three of her eyes]].
* DarkActionGirl: Massively downplayed; while she is incredibly powerful and one of Naruto's most challenging foes, she is also a terrible fighter who doesn't know how to use the majority of her powers and mostly relies on her [[UnskilledButStrong brute strength]].
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: She ate the chakra fruit to become a goddess in order to make a safe world for her sons. However, [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide she began losing it because of her power]] and she lost sight of her goal. Her sons rebelling against her didn't help matters.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: A massive one of both the ConservationOfNinjutsu and UnskilledButStrong tropes.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Subverted, [[spoiler: Hagoromo and Hamura could only ''seal'' her at best in the past and once she appears in the present, Naruto and Sasuke never even mention the possibility of coming up with a strategy to ultimately defeat her with; they immediately decide that the only way they can win is by sealing her again]].
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Her entire motivation to turn most of the world's human populace into Zetsus seem to be this. It was probably why she absorbed the Divine Tree at one point as well. Unlike [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Madara's or Obito's motives]], she just wanted all the power in the world for herself, or at least this turned into her motivation after her heart died. The anime-expanded backstory subverts this. She once possessed the same dream her sons did, but tried to do it all on her own, though even then she was violent and emotionally distant, with her idea of "peace" being far from what her sons desired.]]
* DiabolusExNihilo: Kaguya summarized in 3 words. [[spoiler:After as the story makes it clear that Madara has won and Kaguya fits the description on the trope page to a T. And that was really the only lasting impact of Kaguya's brief appearance, though it did set up the scene for the long awaited final showdown between Naruto and Sasuke]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: Naruto and Sasuke rush her from either side with the seals. She tries to get to a portal to dimension jump but is thwarted by ''Sakura'' [[FauxActionGirl of all]] [[TheLoad people]] dropping down on her from above and hitting her with a normal punch. Giving time for the boys to hit her with the seals.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: For being born with chakra that she didn't have [[spoiler:Kaguya turned herself into an EldritchAbomination and rampaged across the world while trying to eat her sons]]. Averted in the expanded backstory of the anime, where [[spoiler:they confronted her first for sacrificing people to the Divine Tree. Then played straight again in that trying to "take them back" (i.e. eat them) was her response to them ''daring'' to question and oppose her methods. Even Hagoromo pleading for her to remember the love she once had inside her is only responded to with abject refusal]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: During battle she actually turned off her Byakugan to [[spoiler:check out Naruto's Sexy Jutsu. She gets distracted by eleven hot naked men long enough for Naruto to successfully land a punch on her]].
* TheDreaded: Kaguya was originally hailed as a goddess for stopping all wars around the world, but since her tactics involved sheer power and violence and she could cast natural disasters upon her foes she became feared as a demon. [[spoiler:It turned out that the demon moniker was a (very apt) reference to her form as the Ten-Tails.]]
* DullSurprise: Noticeably averted. Due to her status as TheQuietOne, her expressions do a lot of her talking for her. Kishimoto's pretty good about this in general, but seems to have taken extra care with Kaguya.
* EnergyAbsorption: She's capable of draining chakra from jutsu as well as people. [[spoiler:Because of this, she can easily NoSell ordinary jutsu, including the likes of Amaterasu.]]
* EvilMatriarch: Of the dramatic variety. She and her first two sons had a... falling out over her methods of achieving peace. It came to [[spoiler:blows when she grew jealous of the power they inherited from her and she transformed into a monster to take it back.]]
** In the anime-expanded backstory, it's said the falling out was the result of [[spoiler:her sons horrified by her sacrificing people to the Divine Tree and rebelling]].
* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler:She was in competition with Momoshiki, whom she feared enough that she tried to make a Zetsu army.]]
* ExtraEyes: Once she eats the chakra fruit, she develops a third eye on her forehead.
* {{Fallen Hero}}ine: The anime makes her a full heroine during her flashbacks with noble intentions and even capable of love and friendship to a debatable degree (even at this time she seemed to have something of a odd sense of morality). War traumatized her and she took on the responsibility of the world after losing her friend and having to kill her lover in order to protect her unborn children. Unfortunately, power corrupts and with her experiences, she began on the fall. [[spoiler:Hagoromo confirms that she indeed used to have good intentions. He's unsure why she committed a FaceHeelTurn but speculates that eating the chakra fruit had something to do with it.]]
* {{Familiar}}: [[spoiler:Black Zetsu]] is this to some extent, containing Kaguya's will and [[spoiler:orchestrating her resurrection]]. He hides in her left sleeve, providing pointers and using his power to drain chakra when he gets the chance.
* FatalFlaw:
** {{Greed}}. Her need to own everything lead to her [[spoiler:being stuck as the Ten-Tails]]. But her Gluttony is even worse, Kaguya's overindulgence causes her to make many, many, ''many'' mistakes.
** She also couldn't trust in other people and so like others after her, would try and shoulder the burden of caring for the world herself and thus ate the chakra fruit. This led to pretty much every single disaster.
* FairytaleMotifs: She's named after and based on Princess Kaguya from the ''Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'', one of the oldest Japanese legends. Her Tailed Beast form and epithet of the Rabbit Goddess also draw inspiration from the MoonRabbit.
* FemmeFatalons: Her nails are shown to be quite long and pointed at the tips.
* FinalBoss: Kaguya is the ultimate source of evil throughout the entire original series, indirectly responsible for every major villain and serves as the final antagonist of the manga.
* FinalBossNewDimension: [[spoiler:She has six, in fact: Genesis (which connects to the other five), lava (how she starts the fight), ice (to freeze Naruto and Sasuke the first time they nearly touch her), sand (throws Sasuke into it to separate him from Naruto), gravity (which even affects her), and acid (which Sakura and Obito unintentionally opened while trying to retrieve Sasuke from the aforementioned sand dimension, but Kaguya never actually uses it herself).]]
* FinalExamBoss: [[spoiler:Shaping into one for Naruto requiring not only all his newfound tailed beast and Asura powers, but a lot of call backs to his earliest techniques. Specifically the Sexy Jutsu, the first technique we ever saw him use, and Naruto Uzumaki Barrage.]]
* FlatCharacter: The person she was before she went crazy and tried to kill her sons to take back the chakra they "stole" from her is long gone. Outside of her greed (which is never even really explained) Kaguya has no personality.
** Fortunately, [[AdaptationExpansion the anime has fleshed her out substantially]]. Even then, she was TheQuietOne and while she did care for the people in her life (notably her handmaiden and her lover, the Emperor,) she very rarely openly showed it.
** The Sequel would end up adding that she didn't came alone originally, however she suddenly decided to betray her fellow comrade before eating the chakra fruit, setting up the scene for more development.
* FlashStep: [[spoiler:She moves from several meters away from Sakura to ''right next to her'' in the time it takes for her to turn around.]]
* FlechetteStorm: She can fire her individual hairs as a barrage of needles, which, coupled with her Byakugan, allows her to strike and disrupt people's chakra points from long range.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Madara's fight with Naruto, [[spoiler:a mysterious voice tells him to absorb the Divine Tree and when he does, we're treated to a black panel showing only a pair of Byakugan and a Rinne Sharingan eye. Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, her grinning silhouette appears to overlook the entire landscape. This foreshadows the fact that she had ''far'' more to do with the plot than simply being a [[NeglectfulPrecursors Neglectful Precursor]]. Arguably foreshadowed even earlier. When the Ten-Tails finished its maturation and its rage towards Naruto manifested, or when Obito lost control over the beast and bloated up like Madara did until he overpowered Kaguya's will.]]
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A possible case of this.[[spoiler:She doesn't blow Naruto and Sasuke away with her chakra arms like ''she did three times before in the battle''. Black Zetsu claims that she doesn't have enough time to summon a portal, but she can clearly do so in a split second, and she even considers retreating to the ice dimension. That said, she ultimately decides to save energy and just dodge the sealing (and would have succeeded), only to have Sakura intercept and strike her from above. Briefly stunned, at that point she likely didn't have time to do anything.]]
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: [[spoiler:She apparently has an acid dimension, but the audience only sees it when Sakura and Obito unintentionally open it. May be justified given the example of how she is herself subject to the gravity dimension's effects, and thus it's likely the acid dimension would be dangerous to her as well.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: [[spoiler:Kaguya has little characterization beyond her general stoic nature and being the source of all chakra. Even her motive for turning almost everyone into White Zetsus remains unknown. However, her backstory is revealed in a filler arc (starting with episode 460). Lampshaded by Naruto, who notes that of all the people he'd fought she was the only one who he felt like had no heart at all. The Sage notes that she wasn't always like that, and speculates that it had something to do with her eating the chakra fruit.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She was effectively queen of the world for a time, using her power and wisdom to rule and guide humanity. However, over time, their worship gave her an ''obscene ego'' and she would no longer tolerate neither disobedience or lack of reverence. She was eventually regarded as more of a ''demon'' than a queen or a goddess, and she willingly became a ''literal'' demon when threats to her power eventually came along. That said, even her "benevolent" phase was something of a lie, as her subjects were simply ignorant of the fact that they were the few who had been spared the fate she inflicted on the rest of humanity during the first Infinite Tsukuyomi.
* GrandTheftMe: Kaguya [[spoiler:being the Ten- Tails, uses Black Zetsu to take over Madara's body. It's implied she would have done the same to Obito had he not managed to overpower her will beforehand]].
* GravityMaster: She has access to a dimension of greatly increased gravity, though she is just as vulnerable to it as her opponents. Combined with her ranged bone attacks, however, that drawback is minor.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:She's the instigator of everything in the series, and the true identity of the Ten-Tails. Black Zetsu is a manifestation of her will, and caused everything in the series to resurrect her. She gets directly involved as the FinalBoss in the last arc, but her lack of prior involvement or even awareness of what is happening while she's sealed away gives Obito and Madara more recognizable claims to the main antagonist role.]]
* {{Greed}}: Kaguya wants all chakra for herself, that is her primary motivation.
* GreenThumb: She is merged with and can control [[spoiler:the Divine Tree, granting her the Wood Release kekkai genkai]].
* HairRaisingHare: Kaguya was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, and [[spoiler:her unstable Tailed Beast form resembles a giant three-eyed rabbit with a massive tail studded with the heads of the nine Tailed Beasts and ten hand-tipped tentacles.]]
* HeroicLineage: The Hyuga, Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans are all descendants of hers, inheriting fragments of the power she acquired from the Divine Tree's fruit.
* HijackingCthulhu: It's revealed that [[spoiler:she merged with the Divine Tree and became the Ten-Tailed Beast itself, the tree having lacked sapience before this]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Kaguya doomed herself when she gave birth to two sons. [[spoiler:They rebelled against her ways, sealed her and gave access to chakra to humans. Said humans had around a millenia to get used to and master chakra usage. By the time she managed to return, there were people at least in theory capable of opposing her.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: She ''looks'' superficially human but possesses horns, [[ProphetEyes the Byakugan]], a ThirdEye combining the Rinnegan and Sharingan, [[spoiler:and enough chakra to dwarf the ''Ten-Tails'']]. Plus, she lived during a time when humans were without chakra and was thus viewed as a PhysicalGod and demon. [[spoiler:She also transformed into the Ten-Tailed Beast in order to reclaim the chakra she'd passed on to her sons.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** All that power she has at her command [[spoiler: and it's just an unexpected EnhancedPunch from Sakura that ultimately enables her to be defeated.]]
** [[spoiler:Despite having won the largest SuperpowerLottery in the entire manga and having the chakra and (very questionably) the abilities of every ninja and Tailed beast on record, she doesn't use even one ability other than her own and probably doesn't know how.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: She thinks that [[spoiler:all Chakra should belong solely to ''her''. Even her beloved sons were not exempt from her greed]].
** Subverted to a degree in the anime. [[spoiler:Everything she did, including eating the fruit, was done to protect her sons and home. But war and betrayal led her unable to trust anyone else to do what she thought was needed. Even in the anime though, she was presented as being aloof with humanity and so when war and strife happened, she succumbed to despair and proceeded to become a goddess.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Just like [[spoiler:Jinchuuriki!Obito and Jinchuuriki!Madara]] before her, she's dressed in a white robe. This does not make her saintly in the slightest.
* LikeAGodToMe: Some revered her as the [[MoonRabbit "Rabbit Goddess"]] for her power.
* MagicalEye: She has the original Byakugan for her regular eyes, and a ThirdEye called the Rinne Sharingan, which combines the powers of the Rinnegan and Sharingan.
* MakeThemRot: Being struck by her ''bones'' has this effect.
* TheManBehindTheMan: After [[spoiler:Madara absorbs the Divine Tree upon direction from a mysterious voice, a blacked out panel shows a pair of glaring Byakugan and a third eye that looks like a combination of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, and when he activates the Eternal Tsukuyomi a spectral image of her sporting a SlasherSmile can be seen with the moon itself as her ThirdEye]]. This is cemented when [[spoiler:Black Zetsu is revealed to be a manifestation of ''her'' will, and [[HijackedByGanon literally stabs Madara in the back, transfers itself to him]], and transforms him into Kaguya herself.]]
* ManaDrain: Her hair can drain chakra, [[spoiler:and she can also use Black Zetsu to drain those her hair can't]].
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:She used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an army of Zetsu]].
* MoonRabbit:
** Named for the moon princess of Shinto legend, and has [[HornedHumanoid horns]] that appear like a rabbit's ears on her head. She's revered as the [[LikeAGodToMe "Rabbit Goddess"]] by some ages past. Interestingly, she existed ''before'' her son created the moon, and [[spoiler:was sealed inside the moon as the Ten-Tails]].
** [[spoiler:Her mutated unstable form resembles a gigantic rabbit with a massive sphere-shaped tail with ten tentacles and the heads of the other tailed beasts attached, fulfilling her namesake.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: [[spoiler:At least part of her motivation for trying to take back her sons' chakra was because she hated the idea of her boys becoming independent. Naruto calls her out on it. Explored and elaborated in the anime. After witnessing intense warfare and her lover trying to kill her to try and restore order, she ate the fruit and became all-powerful. Everything she did since was to try and protect her children and give them a good world, but her loss of her connection to humanity meant she would never be able to fully understand her sons since they were half-human, good men like their father.]]
* NeverMyFault: At least post insanity, the very possibility of her being wrong never seems to occur to her. Even when she is beaten, her reaction is simple disbelief at the injustice of her falling to chakras lesser than her own.
* NightmareFace: Sports one when she reaffirms her desire to kill [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke and consume their chakra.]] After being presented as a completely in-control PerpetualFrowner, it's a bit jarring to see that she really ''could'' be insane.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Her ancient noblewoman-esque look, horns and third eye make her stand out from the cast in general, but she especially stands out in comparison to other women in the series; despite having a more classically feminine appearance, she's drawn more sharply and with a colder look about her than other female characters, including other villains.
** [[FridgeBrilliance Then recall she is from a far-off land and considering her inspiration, she may even be from the stars.]] The anime even shows us she arrived on what looked like a shooting star. Of course she would look a bit strange; she's a HumanAlien.
* NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:She basically ignores Kakashi and Sakura, instead focusing her efforts on defeating the much stronger Naruto and Sasuke. This attitude ultimately proves fatal, as both Kakashi and Sakura end up being instrumental in her defeat.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: She wanted to eat her sons because [[SarcasmMode they had the gall]] to be born with chakra.
** Expanded in the anime; [[spoiler:after they learned the truth about the Divine Tree: it drains the life away from the world and she is sacrificing people to it, they learned the Sage Arts to fight her.]]
* OhCrap: The look on her face when [[spoiler: Sakura's punch sets her right up for Naruto and Sasuke to seal her]] is ''priceless''.
* OneWingedAngel:
** When she realized just how much power she'd passed on to her sons, [[spoiler:she [[HijackingCthulhu merged with the Divine Tree]] and turned into the Ten-Tails to take her chakra back]]. After having all of her chakra removed [[spoiler:she is transformed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which while vastly weaker than her Ten-Tailed Beast form is still powerful enough to NoSell powerful attacks]].
** When she's hit by [[spoiler:nine Rasenshurikens, each empowered by one of the nine beasts, she tries to turn into the Juubi but the beasts try to break free, causing her to mutate into a massive fanged rabbit with the ThirdEye of the Ten-Tails and the nine beasts' heads protruding from her tail]].
* OutsideContextProblem: [[spoiler:''Nobody'' saw her coming, not even Madara himself, who knew of her but not of her significance. Even Hagoromo never realized that she was the Ten-Tails, something Black Zetsu mocks. Interestingly, this actually works both ways: She initially mistook Naruto and Sasuke for being her own sons' reincarnations, rather than her grandsons' via Hagoromo. She doesn't appear to be fully up on recent events, which is justified considering she spent most of ninja history as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Completely justified, because Black Zetsu, who is a brilliant enough ChessMaster to claim to have orchestrated '''[[UpToEleven all of ninja history]]''', deliberately erased almost all records of her to ensure that nobody was prepared to fight her.]]
* PartsUnknown: She came from some distant, unheard of, foreign land. Not even her son knows where she's from as she refused to tell him. Later material would clarify that her clan are dimension travelers that have visited many planets, though it's still unknown just where they originally came from.
* PerpetualFrowner: Except for the time she sported a SlasherSmile.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: She single handedly stopped all conventional war by herself (by killing all who opposed her), and was worshipped as a goddess until her insanity became obvious.
* PhysicalGoddess: Like her son the Sage of Six Paths, she was incredibly powerful. Unlike him, she was also variously worshipped as a goddess or considered a demon. She was also the only person who had chakra at first, which put her way above the rest of humanity in general.
* PlantPerson: She could use a kekkei mora version of Nativity of a World of Trees to create massive roots linked to the Divine Tree that assimilate people, [[spoiler:and eventually merged with the Divine Tree itself to become the Ten-Tails]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Like her son, is only referred to in past tense. [[spoiler:Unlike him, she re-attains her body in the flesh.]]
* PowerFloats: [[spoiler:Like Obito and Madara. Unlike them, she seems to prefer floating over standing. We've never managed to see her legs because of this.]]
* PowerOfTheStorm: In a flashback she was shown causing a massive thunderstorm, possibly with Tenpenchii.
* PrehensileHair: Not only is it prehensile, it can drain chakra. [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke avoid this fate thanks to the powers they got from the Sage.]]
* TheQuietOne: The majority of her dialogue consists of her making brief statements to other characters, and she only once acknowledges a question she receives.
** Even back in the ancient times shown in the anime, she was this. She maintained an aloofness to everyone, including her lover and her handmaiden, the two people closest to her before she became a mother. This in turn shows that she is a HumanAlien and more-or-less shows her lack of true connection with humanity.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is over twice as long as she is tall.
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: UpToEleven, as ridiculous as that sounds. [[spoiler:Naruto, who had previously confirmed that it was pointless to attempt to meassure the Ten-Tails' chakra levels due to it being, quite simply, immeasurable states that Kaguya's chakra levels are ''even greater'' than the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]]'... Which kinda makes sense since she has access to the chakra of both the Ten-Tails ''and'' the entire shinobi world.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Kakashi compares her manipulation of dimensions with Genjutsu but they are all real. Thankfully for the heroes, she's too occupied with the idea of [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou absorbing their chakra]] to even think of [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim simply blinking them out of existence]].]]
* RedBaron: She was either worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess, or feared as the [[spoiler:Ten-Tails]] Demon.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: She is named after the moon princess of Shinto legend, Kaguya. One of her monikers was even [[MoonRabbit Rabbit Goddess]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Her sons sealed her away a long time ago in a sealing stone that became known as the Moon (though they did not know Kaguya's mind was still present, believing the Ten Tails had subsumed her). [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke manage to do the same in the present, this time throwing Black Zetsu in with her to make sure her munitions are thwarted for good. And this time she's sealed in a can within an even bigger can, namely her own dimension which very few beings aside from herself can access. This time she's locked in a double safe with almost all the keys thrown in for good measure to ensure she's sealed forever.]]
* SheWhoFightsMonsters: She put an end all the wars that plagued her world. Unfortunately, her power was too much and she eventually lost control and became corrupted. [[spoiler:In a literal example, she became the Ten-Tails EldritchAbomination after absorbing the Divine Tree and ended up as a Demonic Statue that couldn't return to her human form until recovering all her chakra back.]]
* ShockAndAwe: She's been shown to bring down lightning storms in a flashback.
* ShroudedInMyth: Subverted, as nobody knows about her; the first one to mention her name was Madara halfway through the War arc. [[spoiler:She was deliberately erased from the history books as part of Black Zetsu's GambitRoulette and what little is known about her comes from the Uchiha stone tablet, which was "edited" by Black Zetsu. Not even her son knows everything about her.]]
* SlasherSmile: Her silhouette sports one as she [[spoiler:ominously overlooks the landscape once Madara activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This particularly stands out, as she's otherwise a PerpetualFrowner.]]
* SpikesOfDoom: Bone spikes jut out of her when she uses her Dead Bone Pulse techniques.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:According to Amado, Kaguya was meant to be fed to the Ten-Tails while the higher-ranking Isshiki watches over the tree's growth. However, Kaguya betrayed and severely injured Isshiki before that can happen. Fearing retaliation, she began creating an army of White Zetsu and merged with the Divine Tree to become the Ten-Tails.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:The only reason the manga didn't end with her resurrection is because she needs Naruto and Sasuke's chakra. See SuperpowerLottery down below.]]
* SummonMagic: She has six personal dimensions she can either summon or teleport to at will. The ones shown so far include a volcano, a glacier, a desert, a sea of acid, and a tundra which serves as the HubLevel for the other five. This allows her to either completely change the environment on a whim, or dodge attacks by moving between dimensions. She can also pull her opponents into different dimensions to keep them from coordinating, though this requires she directly force them into a portal.
* SuperPowerLottery: [[spoiler:Being the source of all chakra on Earth, and having absorbed the chakra power of every shinobi living, she essentially has every single power seen in the Naruto universe, and at least in theory (though clearly not in practice), should be capable of using those jutsu in far more powerful ways than any other ninja could. She's got the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, the Byakugan, the original chakra from the Divine Tree's fruit plus the combined chakra of basically the entire Shinobi Alliance and being the Juubi, she has all Tailed Beast abilities and those of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, WeatherManipulation powers, Sage Mode and Senjutsu attacks, SummonMagic so powerful it's just one step away from [[RealityWarper reality warping]], extremely versatile space-time Jutsu comprising of instant, untraceable teleportation and the ability to open portals at will and use them for long range attacks, a BattleAura even better than Naruto's and just as versatile, and finally has OneHitKill bone attacks. All of her techniques and powers are so far above normal ninjutsu and even kekkai genkai - even her Byakugan and bone manipulation, which other characters in the series have possessed - that they're considered unique and referred to as kekkai mora. None of the techniques she uses require her to weave hand signs either.]]
* ThinkingUpPortals: She can open and move through portals.
* ThirdEye: She has the Rinne Sharingan, which as its name suggests has the combined powers of both a Rinnegan and Sharingan, and [[spoiler:enables her to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.]]
* ThisCannotBe: Her reaction to [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke managing to seal her yet again]].
* ThoughtControlledPower: Her powers do not require hand seals nor does she need to [[CallingYourAttack call her attacks,]] ''nor'' is there any channeling time for any of her abilities.
* TransformationOfThePossessed: [[spoiler:When she steals Madara's body, she converts it into her own form.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: [[spoiler:She's ''the'' most powerful being in the entire Ninja world, able to create dimensions and manipulate reality on a scale nobody can come close to, has several overpowered abilities that could have easily killed the heroes, and she has the most Chakra of any living being in existance. She's flat out even stronger then Madara Uchiha, the arguably most powerful mortal person, and Team 7 had to pull out all the stops to seal her, not kill her. However, Kaguya seemingly has little real combat training whatsoever, merely relying on her overwhelming power to try and kill Team 7, or listening to Black Zetsu for instructions. As a result, despite her godly power, the heroes are able to seal her away and stop her. She also started the final battle focusing on stealing the chakra of Naruto and Sasuke, meaning that by the time she got serious, Team 7 had already learned her abilities enough to counter her. This seems to lie in the fact that Kaguya was never a fighter; having simply ate the fruit of the Divine Tree, she, if ever challenged, could simply use her overwhelming power to defeat her foes, but against people with powers capable of effecting her, her raw power wasn't enough to win.]]
* UnstablePoweredWoman: She is the instigator of nearly all of the story's events. There are a lot of conflicting stories and ideas about exactly what type of person she was beforehand, but it's generally believed that she had at least somewhat noble goals until absolute power went to her head. She comes from a race of "celestial beings" that travel to planets to plant and grow a "Divine Tree", an alien plant form that drains its inhabitants of their life force to grow a fruit that embodies all the drained physical and spiritual energy. The fruit from the tree grants those who eat it access to a power that comes to be called "chakra". Originally, she and another relative came to take the fruit for the benefit of their clan, but she (possibly) decided to protect the Earth and its inhabitants instead, eventually falling in love with a human emperor and becoming his concubine (or, alternatively, she decided to rebel against her clan just as much for the sake of wanting all the power of the chakra fruit for herself, protecting the Earth being more about protecting herself than the humans). While she was pregnant, an invasion from another nation led to the death of her friend and attendant, and Kaguya lost all faith in humanity, decided to eat the fruit (as she had originally planned to do) and create peace by force. In doing so she initiated the first Infinite Tsukuyomi and ended the world as it was, only freeing enough humans to keep them from going extinct, and erasing their memories so they did not know what she had done. She became worshipped as a goddess, and this eventually went to her head, where she became so power-hungry that when her sons manifested the ability to use chakra, she tried to take it back under the belief that chakra should belong to her alone.
* VillainousBreakdown: A very brief one after Naruto and Sasuke manage to seal her for good. She also loses it when the Tailed Beasts try to escape from her.
* VillainousGlutton: In a sense. [[spoiler: After they survive the volcano, the only reason she doesn't straight up kill Naruto and Sasuke is because she thirsts for their chakra.]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: As she is [[spoiler:being sealed away again, her rabbit-monster head pukes up Madara's body]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Her entire existence is this.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She has shades of this, which are expanded on in the anime, however even then she is something of a mixed example. She escaped the rest of her clan, who she describes as knowing nothing of love, and tries to give love with humans a chance while waiting for the time to come for her to consume the chakra fruit and gain power to fight back against her clan when they inevitably will come to Earth. However, even before consuming the fruit her interactions with others are notably manipulative and self-serving (she wipes the emperor's mind of their first meeting and places herself as an accepted part of his household) and distant, and she is all too quick to resort to slaughter when confronted by kidnappers, despite clearly having the power to stop her attackers without killing them. Despite this, she did legitimately care about her loved ones such as the Emperor and her handmaiden to some extent. She only cracks when her handmaiden is killed... by her own lover who is trying to execute her to restore order. Once she consumes the fruit her desire for peace becomes utterly totalitarian, she refuses to even consider her son's pleas for her to remember to love others, and Naruto eventually describes her as being the only enemy he ever faced who he felt had no heart at all. In the end her desire for peace seemed to be as a vague concept of no active opposition to her will, regardless of how much suffering and killing she inflicted to keep it that way.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Even after [[spoiler:she is sealed again]], the manga gives vague details about her backstory or motives at best. Even her own son admits that he doesn't know much about her as she refused to say much of herself even to him. Only time will tell if this trope holds up.
** The anime has a filler arc [[AdaptationExpansion showing and expanding on her backstory]]. She's a rather FlatCharacter in the manga, so it's sorely needed and a rare example of filler that most fans consider justified.
** The anime does show us how she came to the land as well as her time as a concubine and lover to the Emperor of the region (who would father her children) along with her friend and the events that came to lead her to eat the fruit. Even with all that though, very little is known about Kaguya's motives or mental state at the time.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: '''Big time'''. According to one of her sons, the Sage, this is what happened to her due to being so disproportionately powerful compared to everyone else. She initially used her power to pacify conflict through brute force, and with time, it got worse as she would kill any who opposed her. The fact that she was already pretty aloof and not well-attached to humanity before consuming the fruit did not help matters at all. Upon eating the fruit her sanity descended so far that [[spoiler:she also made most of humanity into {{Empty Shell}}s to serve as her toy soldiers, with the motive of using them to help fight against the rest of her clan]].
** And then it got '''much''' worse when she realized how much chakra she had passed on to her sons. [[spoiler:To get back her power, she merged with the Divine Tree and together they became the Ten-Tails, with her consciousness driving its rampage. That's right, this woman turned into a truly insane, absolutely berserk EldritchAbomination by fusing with a divine tree to get back her power from her sons.]]
** What caused the above notion as shown in the anime was her sons rebelling against her because of her extreme actions resulting in the deaths of innocents to feed the Divine Tree's (and thus herself) power. Her sons also wanted to confront her peacefully, but she refused to even consider their arguments, almost immediately judging them as being worthy of death for disobeying her.
* WizardsFromOuterSpace: She is the origin of [[LifeEnergy chakra]] in the entire ''Naruto'' world who came from outer space/another dimension. She has highly powerful chakra abilities born from cultivating a Divine Tree that would bear chakra granting fruit.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: In the ''Shippudden'' {{filler}} episodes about her backstory, it's shown that her otherworldly beauty was known far and wide, and that it even caused a war between two countries.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: She's stated by her son, The Sage of the Six Paths, to be the most powerful being that ever lived, since she was the one who claimed the power of chakra on Earth in the first place. She was a [[PhysicalGod Physical Goddess]] while he was a "mere" demigod in comparison. [[spoiler:And she doesn't disappoint when she shows up in person. And even then she is holding back, as she is trying to absorb Naruto and Sasuke's chakra, plus she's an utter novice at actual fighting. Without both of those caveats, she'd have killed them in seconds]].
