What's up guys FanficSama here, I wanted to give my take on what role religion might play in NV and how it could be a new direction for Naruto franchise if they ever decide to keep milking.

Reason I wanted to is because I find it odd that most of Naruto's content is based on religion but characters themselves are anything but. Most of this thread is fanfic personal opinion so don't take my word..

Idols are often misrepresented by intolerable groups in real life, so what are the chances that certain groups of people begin to follow Naruto's philosophy religiously and become intolerant themselves ?

Kaguya and the Sage were both worshipped as gods, the Sage even had his own religion that Naruto unknowingly followed and promoted.

Is there a chance history will repeat itself ? Naruto did do the impossible by uniting the world along with saving it, all while possessing what is deemed to be godly power.


Sounds familiar

Granted that the current shinobi generation is experiencing technological advancement, is it still possible that a group of extremists emerge and try to use Naruto's name as an excuse to cause tyranny ?


World peace has been achieved in NV but as we know peace never lasts, I think all it would take is for one war to occur in order for the people to be deeply divided on whether Naruto's philosophy was right or wrong.


This could lead to a problem because NV might find itself in a position where the majority are either for change at all costs or against it by all means (far left vs far right).


Faiths are often made to prevent people from straying from a belief that society and its leaders benefit from, it would be interesting to see a group on Naruto's side being the antagonist, using Naruto as a justification to do wrong in the name of what they consider right.


The entire franchise revolved around milking the Senju vs Uchiha theme and I think this would be a good way to keep it relevant without forcing Uchiha and Senju characters into the plot.

The only religious things we see are hidans jashin and the references of being gods. It's possible religion exists more prominently in the nv, but maybe just among common non nin

The Uchiha worshiped a deity called Nakano.

I don't remember reading that, which chapter ?

The area in which the tablet is under is called the Nakano Shrine, under the seventh tatami mat to the far right lies the secret meeting place. Itachi told Sasuke about it before he left the village after the massacre.

But Nakano could've been the name of the person who built the shrine, maybe Indra's child. But what's interesting is there were temple statues that looked like Susanoo.

In Japanese culture, ancestors are revered heavily, and the Senju and Uchiha were unaware of why they hated one another so Indra and Asura's children were apparently unaware of their fathers which would explain why it might be called Nakano shrine rather than Indra's shrine.

Just a theory.

Religion was never an explored aspect of NV. If I had to guess the demographics would be like that of Japan given how that's the targeted audience and how often the mythology is referenced. For that:
