    Little bit of clarification, mantra are not incantations per se. They are invocations of buddhas, gurus, or gods. They are usually done with the belief that the sound energy put out in the universe will come back to you. In that respect, they are more like short prayers. Also, mudras are hand gestures that communicate a specific meaning. Like, placing your hands, one on top of the other, with the thumbs touching sybolizes meditative equipoise.

      True, but isn’t that the case for any work of art, regardless of the medium, that’s available to other cultures? And it isn’t limited to just cultural differences but generational as well… But the fun is learning more and not sticking at the surface level or just taking things at face value. That’s how cultural appropriation begins-when people lack the curiosity and respect to understand and appreciate something that they’re not inherently apart of (culturally speaking).

    Hyuuga clan's martial arts are a reference to a combination of Bagua Zhang and concept/practice called Dim Mak which focuses on striking TCM meridian points in various orders/combinations. (Brilliant to pair with byakuugan)
    Also the theme of Senju and Uchiha strongly mimic Buddhist (Hashirama summoning Kannon/Avaloketishvara figures makes this obvious) and Shinto themes accordingly and their influences. Asura-Hashirama-Naruto spirit in some ways mimics some of the personality and influence of Shotoku Taishi.

    EDIT: I think the only other piece of japanese folklore I can provide are names. For example, the legendary Sasuke Sarutobi provided the name for Sasuke and the Sarutobi-Clan.
    I also remember a deeper connection between the Nara-Clan of Konoha and deer, as well as between puppet-wielding and the Sand, but that might be a subject for the Shippuuden-video.

    Nice exploration of the mythology of the shinobi, and in particular of things like how the "Hidden Village" concept came to be. First I'd actually heard of it, though I'd heard of the Iga and Koga clans before this. This makes the legendary Iga shinobi Kirigakure Saizo make much more sense, if the Iga village was in a misty valley. Of course, a legendary shinobi from a misty village would be associated with mist and illusion...which pretty clearly ties right back into characters like Zabuza and Haku.
    One small nitpick, though: pretty sure that Susanoo is pronounced with a glottal, given that it's also transliterated as Susano'o/Susano-o, or even Susanowo. "Su-sa-no-oh", not "Susan-oh".

In the othe hand, as far as I know the gamen yanken actually is rock paper sissors, its also great to know it also represents toad, slug and snake.

    Part of what makes the Naruto world so rich and vibrant is the well of mythological influences from everywhere.Some Hindu mythology is there :
    Indra and Asura

    In Hindu mythology, Indra was a deity (known as Devas) that wielded lightning bolts, and did battle with the evil and power hungry Asuras. You can see a role reversal here, but there’s definitely a reason this lightning attack:

    is called Indra’s Arrow. Furthermore, the mythological wielded a bow too… the rainbow. The godly versions made an appearance on a Naruto front spread:

    Asura:

    Indra:

    Enma

    Its Japanese name is Henge: Kongō nyoi.
    “Kongō” is the Japanese translation for Vajra, a ritualistic object/weapon wielded by the mythological Indra above. It’s also a Sanskrit word meaning “thunderbolt” and “diamond”, which is referred to in the object’s meaning as the object is supposed to represent diamond’s toughness and force of thunder.

    Enma is also the Japanese translation for “Yama”, the Hindugod who decides where people go after they die.
    Garuda

    Sasuke’s hawk is called Garuda. In Hindu mythology, Garuda is a bird man and often seen as “king of the birds”.

    His depictions vary between more birdlike and more human though.
    Yashamaru

    The first kanji in his name “夜叉” (Yasha) is the Japanese way of saying “Yaksha”. In Hindu mythology, a Yaksha is a kind of spirit that is usually benevolent, but also has a darker and more sinister side. There’s a clear parallel here, where Yashamaru is normally nice but had to be cruel to young Gaara on his last mission.

    Rinnegan’s Six Paths

    Each of the path names are connected with Hindu mythology. We’ve covered Asura and Deva, but there is still two to cover:
    Preta: Ghostly looking supernatural beings that endure unabating suffering as they seek to try and satiate relentless hunger and thirst. Of course, Naruto’s Preta Path is about guzzling an opponent’s chakra.
    Naraka: The realm of hells where souls go to be cleansed of their sins. This is the place that Yama resides, and decides the fates of souls. This ties in with Naruto’s Naraka Path being the ability to control life and death. There’s an old Japanese saying that was used to scare kids into telling the truth… “"If you lie, Lord Enma will pull out your tongue" The King of Hell of course, could do that.
    Hashirama’s Mokuton
    His wood dragon resembles a Makara from Hindu mythology:


    Shinsuusenju is also influenced by the Hindu-Buddhist creation of Avalokiteśvara:


    Also known in Japanese as the Senju Kannon.
    Hyuga Juinjutsu
    In the manga, the symbol on the middle of the seal is a swastika, an important symbol in Hinduism.

    Because of the connotations with Nazism it has gained in the West though, the anime changed it to a normal cross:
