(dont hate cause it's long.)shintoism-shinto is one of the main religions of japan and has references in many anime and naruto is no exception. it is most seen in jutsu names but it also appears in some battlesAmaterasu- the black fire jutsu is named after Amaterasu-omikami the sun goddess and main deity of shintoTsukuyomi- the ultimate genjutsu is named after Tsukuyomi-no-mikoto, the moon god of shinto and the brother of amaterasu. after brutally mudering the goddess of food, amaterasu vowed to never face tsukuyomi again (hence why the sun and moon dont normally occupy the sky at the same time) which could reference why amaterasu and tsukuyomi arnt used at the same time.susanoo- named after the Susanoo-no-mikoto the shinto god of sea and storms who is also the ruler of Yomi (the underworld). Susanoo is the third sibling to amaterasu and tsukuyomi.Izanagi and Izanami- Izanagi-no-mikoto and Izanami-no-mikoto are the creation dieties of shinto (who are both husband and wife as well as brother and sister) they are said to have created the world by dipping a jeweled spear into the muddy ocean and dripping the mud which solified and created japan and the rest of the world. they came down to japan and began raising a family. Izanami began birthing many children until the shinto god of fire was born, burning izanami to death. Izanagi killed the fire god and split his remains across the world, creating volcanoes. Izanagi went down to bring izanami back to life but when he saw her deformed body he was enraged. Izanami attempted to kill him but failed. Izanami vowed that 1000 of Izanagi's people would die everyday. Izanagi countered saying that 1005 people would be born everday (referencing the fate part of the ability). when Izanagi returned he did a traditional washing ceremony in a sacred river. when he washed his left eye amaterasu was born. when he washed his right eye. tsukuyomi was born. and when he washed his nose, susanoo was born (the anime references this by saying amaterasu is in one eye, tsukuyomi is in another eye, and susanoo is both eyes)Totsuka sword (susanoo's sword)- based on the sacred Totsuka-no-Tsurugi. it was originally wielded by Izanagi to kill Kagu-tsuchi (fire god i mentioned earlier) it later came into the possesion of susanoo. It's name means literally"10 hands long sword"Kusanagi- based on the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, it is a legendary Japanese sword and one of three Imperial Regalia of Japan. It was originally called Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ("Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven") but its name was later changed to the more popular Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi ("Grass Cutting Sword"). in the anime it is refered to as the grass long sword wielded by orochimaruyata mirror and Magatama -based on the Yata no Kagami and the yasakani no Magatam ( sacred mirror and sacred jewel) the other two parts of the 3 imperial regalia of japan. they were used to draw amaterasu out of hiding after susanoo attacked her and she hid the sun from the world.Imperial regalia-Itachi vs Orochimaru/ susanoo vs snakes- the final bout between itachi and orochimaru is based on the legend of how Susanoo got back into the good graces of Amaterasu. After attacking amaterasu he was banished to the human world where he met a peasant farmer. the farmer had 8 daughters that were being kidnapped by the fearsome Yamata-no-orochi (eight branched serpant/ which orochimaru's 8 headed snake is based off of) an eight headed, eight tailed snake that captured 7 of the farmers 8 daughters. Susanoo vowed to help them. he tricked yamata no orochi into sticking it's heads into 8 gates that has jars of sake on the other side. when the snake got drunk, susanoo used the totsuka no tsurugi to cut off it's heads and tails. (referenced by itachi killing oro with the totsuka and sealing him inside a sake jar) inside one of the tails susanoo discovered a sword that shined like the heavens. Susanoo returned to the heavens and gave the sword to amaterasu as an offering. the sword is the kusanagi (oro's sword)Kotoamatsukami- shisu's genjutsu is named after the 5 supreme gods of the universe. In Japanese Shinto, Kotoamatsukami (別天津神, literally means "distinguishing heavenly kami") is the collective name for the first gods which came into existence at the time of the creation of the universe. They were born in Takamagahara, the world of Heaven at the time of the creation, as Amenominakanushi 天御中主 (Central master), Takamimusubi (High creation), Kamimusubi (Divine creation), and a bit later Umashiashikabihikoji (Energy) and Amenotokotachi (Heaven).These forces then became gods and goddesses, the tenzai shoshin (heavenly kami) - Ame no minakanushi no kami; Takami-musubi no ôkami; Kamimusubi no ôkami; Umashiashikabihikoji no kami; Ame no Tokotachi no kami; Kuni no Tokotachi no kami; Toyokumono no kami; Uhijini no mikoto; Suhijini no kami; Tsunokuhi no kami; Ikukuhi no kami; Ôtonoji no kami; Ôtonobe no kami; Omodaru no kami; Kashikone no kami; Izanagi no kami; Izanami no kami; and Amaterasu ômikami.kumoi- (kakashi's s/t jutsu) basicly means "the gracefulness of the gods"------------------------------------------------------------------------Buddismrinnegan- Rinne (輪廻) is the Japanese term for Samsara, the cycle of reincarnation or rebirth in several Indian religions. This is reflected in the names of all Six Paths of Pain, which share the names with Samsaric realms of reincarnation.Deva path- realm of heavenly godsasura path- realm of war demigodshuman path- realm of humanity (easiest to become enlightened/ referenced by soul removal)animal path- realm of animal servitudepreta path- realm of pretas (starving ghosts that never stop eating and drinking)naraka path- hell/ suffering/ home of the king of hell who rips out your tounge if you lie.outer path- unorthadox methods of achieving enlightenment. heretic methods. that which treads the other path goes beyond the traditional paths----------------------------------Sage of Six paths- probably a referance to buda (both achieved an enlightened state and started a religion that spread across the world/ both considered gods) this is also seen in the staff the sage carries ( a buddist prayer staff)Sharingan and rinnegan - sharingan has mostly shinto references, while the rinnegan has mostly buddhist references. the two eyes are related in the anime, which represents how in Japan shinto and buddhism go together and are often practiced together. (shintoists believe budda is a kami, while buddhists believe that the kami are just parts of budda)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------the naruto pilot shows that naruto was originally going to be about a 9 tailed fox spirit that takes the shape of a boy, copes with being unexcepted. rather then a demonic fox spirit being trapped in a boy. no wonder kurama cries. he lost the main role in the world's most popular anime.- Konan is one of the few members of akatsuki who never reveals what is under her cloak (*couph* boobs *couph*) artwork shows what she actually looks like-Konan and Yahiko share the same birthday and blood type-the original akatsuki was going to be a group of monsters. these traits were carried over into Zetsu, kisame, sasori, and kakuzu
