No originality? He just bases the names on the names of deities from Japanese mythology...Frankly, I find it to be quite awesome.

Itachi is kinda in-between Susanoo and Tsukuyomi. Tsukuyomi is the ruler of the underworld (tsukuyomi's nightmare realm) and is the God over time.

Madara is more like Susano'o no Mikoto the rampaging god of the Earth

Sasuke is like Amaterasu the Sun God ruler of heaven. Possessor of the Yasakani Magatama, Mirror of Yata, and the sword Kusanagi. Amaterasu also wielded a bow just like Sasuke's susanoo

It's not really unoriginal man. but he's only using the names, he really isn't making the techniques reflect the exact gods of mythology. Kishi loosely incorporates the bible too as well but it makes 'little' sense. Tree of Knowledge of good and evil equates to the god tree, it makes no sense because in the bible before man ate from the tree the world was perfect but in naruto there was war happening when Kaguya ate the fruit and passed down chakra to everyone.

Gods are modelled after gods. Only way to properly represent them. :itachi:

BTW, kinda sad you just noticed this... Here's another one... Shinju's origins are based off the bible.
