Naruto's Biblical references

[Legacy of Hatred]

Now that I think about it, Naruto has a lot of biblical references. Perhaps I didn't notice it before because I don't know much about any other religion aside from Christianity, but I definitely see some biblical allusions going on in Naruto.

For example:

1) The God tree grows a fruit that no one must no eat, though they don't explicitly know why. --Tree of Knowledge
2) A woman ate of the fruit and things were never the same for mankind. --Eve eats the apple,banishment from the garden
3) (I'm kinda stretching this to meet ends) A man also eats of the fruit( implying that Bagoromo's inheritance of chakra is synonymous to him consuming the apple to since his mother ate it as well.) --Adam eats the apple too
4) A man has two sons. -- Cain and Abel.
5) The younger son is favored and the older son attacks him. --Cain kills Abel.

Just my random thoughts...criticism and feedback very much welcomed.

most myths and ledgends have similar stories to the christian belief

incan myths

Nothing in history or the present is truly original

Nagato and Naruto also have many refrence to jesus
1.) the way nagato looked after the gedo statue rods came out
2.) Naruto is known for his empathy and kindess to everyone and thats what jesus is known for
3.) The "Dream World" is heaven as if everyone who died would go to a better place

Naruto is more related to Krishna/buddha in principle. some similarities are present.

Naruto is more related and inspired from buddhist beliefs rather than abrahamic faiths but the thing you posted are correct.

God tree = Bodhi tree..... not the tree of knowledge, biggest misconception.

 

[H a n]

Kishi don't play around.

You forgot the most important thing. The coming of the antichrist with the mark of the beast 666 deceiving many that he is Jesus that returned and promises false peace to everyone who were victimized by this chaotic world masses will accept it but ultimately in the end when it is too late they will realise that his promise is nothing but an illusion.

 

[Megatolium]

And the fact Jesus walked on water and came back from the dead.

 

[Fodder#4]

It's not biblical, more then one religion/culture have similar mythos.

 

[Sennin of Logic]

Given some things in the manga(sexy jutsu), I doubt Kishi's a Christian. However, I find it interesting that there's similarities to the bible, but I doubt they're intentional.

 

[KingHashirama]

It isn't the story of Adam and Eve s imply because Sage's mom did to stop war.... Eve did it well for herself. Big difference.

"Eating the fruit and gaining knowledge" has a story in many cultures.
