First off, this is my very first Forum post, so excuse the formatting and structure of the thread lol. I'll update with more scans later. Now with that being said, lets get into it.
In chapter 14, of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, we've gotten new information on Jura, specifically the confirmation that he's the direct incarnation of Ten-Tails itself. This could have many implications, like potentially possesing ability akin to that of a Juubi Jinchuriki or Six paths characte, but mainly I wanna talk about what this could potentially mean for Jura's true nature and the massive threat he could actually impose on the verse.
The Shinjuu's, thanks to Code's white Karma still having 'Otsutsuki's essence' despite being a dud, skipped the whole "consume an Otsutsuki to evolve into a Divine tree" process a ten-tails normally needs, so they no longer require an Otsutsuki to become a divine tree anymore:
Given that Jūra is a humanoid sentient Divine Tree, his ability to absorb genetic information would logically stem from his nature as a direct incarnation of the Juubi (Ten-Tails), specifically in its Divine Tree form. In the Naruto universe, the Divine Tree has the power to absorb the chakra and life force of all living things on a planet, along with their 'genetic information' as it prepares to produce a Chakra Fruit. Here's how this ability would correlate to Jūra as a humanoid:
- In the Naruto/Boruto world, "chakra" is deeply intertwined with a being's biological makeup and genetic traits. Kekkai Genkai's like the Sharingan, Byakugan, and even special jutsus are tied to the individual's genetics.
- When Jūra absorbs chakra, he doesn't just siphon away energy; he is also tapping into the very essence of what makes a person unique, which includes their **DNA**.
- For the **Divine Tree**, this genetic absorption is automatic -- it's how the tree collects information from all living things on a planet, allowing it to store and integrate this data into itself.
2. **Biological Mechanism of Absorption in Jūra**
- As a humanoid Divine Tree, Jūra would retain this unique ability to absorb chakra and genetic information from targets. While a regular Divine Tree does this passively through its roots and environment, Jūra, being sentient and mobile, would likely have a more **direct and deliberate** method of absorbing genetic information:
- **Physical Contact or Proximity** Jūra could absorb genetic information by coming into contact with his target. This would be similar to how the **God Tree roots** were able to passively absorb the life force and chakra of those near it. In this case, Jūra might use his hands, tendrils, or chakra-absorption techniques to initiate the process.
- **Chakra Drain Mechanism:** Jūra might also have a chakra-absorption technique similar to the "Human Path's ability" or the Shinju during the Fourth Great Ninja War. By siphoning chakra from his target, he simultaneously extracts the **genetic blueprint** of their body, as chakra is connected to both the physical and spiritual aspects of a being.
3. **
- Once Jūra absorbs chakra and genetic material from a target, this genetic information would be *stored and integrated* into his own system. This would likely happen on a *cellular level*, much like how the Otsutsuki integrate with the genetic information of the chakra fruit they consume.
- Since Jūra is an incarnation of the Juubi itself and the Divine Tree, his body likely functions like a "biological archive" , capable of retaining and utilizing genetic data from any absorbed life form. In a way, Jūra could be seen as a walking, sentient repository of genetic information from countless life forms.
- This process mirrors how the **Chakra Fruit** contains the cumulative knowledge and powers of all life on the planet as I've shown above, meaning Jūra would be capable of **adapting, evolving, and potentially using the genetic traits** of any individual he absorbs.
4.
- Since the Divine Tree exists to absorb and process genetic information to grow stronger and produce a Chakra Fruit, Jūra would operate on a similar principle. As he absorbs chakra from his targets, he would also absorb their genetic makeup, allowing him to:
- **Adapt his body** to utilize the unique genetic traits he has absorbed.
- **Store genetic material** for future use, meaning he could tap into the genetic abilities or powers of someone long after the initial absorption.
- Jūra, being sentient, may even be able to selectively use or suppress specific genetic information, allowing him to evolve and change in response to different challenges or enemies.
5. ****
- One significant aspect of Jūra's sentient nature is that he could consciously control the absorption process. Unlike a mindless Juubi, Jūra could selectively enhance his own body or modify his form using the genetic data he absorbs. This could allow him to:
- **Evolve in real-time**, rapidly changing or adapting based on the genetic information he absorbs from powerful enemies or other life forms.
- **Incorporate new traits** into his biology, essentially becoming a composite of all the life forms he has absorbed, much like the Divine Tree stores the genetic essence of entire planets.
6.
Because Jūra is the *sentient incarnation*of the Divine Tree, his ability to absorb genetic information is an inherent biological function derived from the Divine Tree's role of collecting life force and chakra from entire planets. However, since Jūra is humanoid and sentient, he has the intelligence and control to selectively absorb and integrate genetic material, adapting and evolving in response to what he absorbs.
Jūra's chakra-absorption ability effectively makes him a walking, repository of genetic information being, allowing him to collect and assimilate genetic traits with every person or life form whose chakra he absorbs. His nature as a Divine Tree not only gives him the power to siphon energy but also to **gain the genetic powers** of anyone he encounters, making him a being of endless evolution in theory. I believe this is a trait only he uniquely possesses due to his direct relation to the Juubi itself, unlike the other Shinjuus. Thanks for reading.
