Are people aware that almost the entire Naruto storyline is Japanese folktale?

Kishi aint that original if you think that, if you do enough research you see that Kishi stole almost eveything he has written from ancient japanese folktales or other manga/anime or buddhist books, and alot from shinto religion. The only impressive thing is his manga drawing skills. Thats all.

I respect him for bringing these folktales to manga form, but i do not respect him as a writer at all. Beacause he is the most unoriginal writer i know of.

Examples of what he stole is:
The entire Legendary sennin story with Jiraiya, Tsunade & Orochimaru
Susanoo
Sharingan
Kurama/tailed beasts
Izanami/Izanagi
etc etc etc


Here are just a few examples of what Kishi stole, there are thousands more out there.

he got a lot of influences from mythology,his favorite movies and manga and made it into his own original story
you act like he took in word from word
susano'o is not used the same way as it is in naruto
the same with every other use of mythology in naruto

Kishimoto didn't steal anything, it's borrowed ideas used to create an original plot as are many stories we see today.

Theres a difference between taking an idea from a folktale and another manga.(its inspiration not stealing)

Anyway about originality its true that he doesn't have original idea ,but he organized it well and made it more interesting imo.

He admitted a lot of things .like sasuke and sakura are taken from the sasuke saratobi manga .

Dont make me laugh. He stole and he's not even admiting it.

Don't make me laugh! You better have more than 10 fingers to point at with the amount of people who use those famous tales in their stories.

nothing wrong with taking myths, rabbit goddess kaguya is also based off a japanese myth.

He didnt rip everything from folklores, but he got almost all of his ideas from other material. Thats tragic. And i dont care if other mangas also do it, then they are as unoriginal as Naruto. Stop licking Kishis ass so much and wake up. He stole alot, to much in my opinion. Eveyone is influence by others work yes, but this is just shamelss stealing.
