How kishi revived the legendary myth or folktale of Japanese.

The Tale of the Gallant Jiriaya and its influence on Naruto
Like the story of Kagua Hime or the Adventures of Monkey which respectively influenced Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball, the old Japanese folktale of Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari (The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya) has influenced several stories and characters in anime and manga.
Remember the three legendary Ninjas of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsusande in Naruto? Their names and their powers of toad, snake, and snail magic are pulled from this story. In this folktale, Tsusande and Jiraiya were married when they were attackedby their one time friend Orochimaru. Orochimaru had fallen under the influence of snake magic.
Kishimoto wove this folk-tale into Naruto brilliantly. Like Kagua Hime or the Adventures of Monkey, he's given this Japanese folk-tale of Jiraiya new life and has shared it with millions of people across the world.
As a side note, Orochimaru in Naruto has another power of pulling a sword out of this mouth.In Japanese Myth, this sword is called the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Grasscutter Sword).
The Japanese god Susanoo found this sword in the body of the eight-tailed and head serpent called Yamata no Orochi he slew to protect a Shinto God's daughter. If the name Susanoo sounds familiar, it's the third ability Sasuke uses with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

[KuroKaze]

yeah not only this one scenario u can find lots of cses where kishi has taken the idea from japanese mythology...like e.g Tsukiyomi or susano'o , Izanagi these are Gods/Goddesses

 

[Lucidus]

its not just kishi.. a lot of mangaka's get ideas from Japanese and Chinese myths and Korean myths .. this is nothing new..

I agree with this a very cool Anime called "Children who chase lost voices from deep below" It deals in that of Izanagi, and Izanami. It's very good I recommend it to all!:bye:

 

[EL MAGNIFICO]

Interesting ...
i have also read that susanoo is the son and amarerasu and tsukuyomi are the daughters of izanagi ..which again proves that to have susanoo ...one has to have amaterasu and tsukuyomi ..
also ..Susanoo (god of storm and sea )
slew orochi with totsuka sword .. He did find it in its body !

 

[ReeseKage]

Nice find. Ameterasu is also part the same Japanese folklore. She was the sister of susano'o

He didn't revive shit. You know why they call things myths and folklore? Because they're already part of the damn culture. That would be like someone writing about Paul Revere or the Alamo and a similar idiot wants to praise said creator for the revival of something that has already been ingrained in the public consciousness.

I'm sorry to be so rude but you're as stupid as that person who said Sakura was greater than Joan of Arc.
