Disclaimer:
The following ‘theory’ is not to be taken seriously; this is merely an attempt at humor. This was inspired by Sir Derp Obito’s many theories which interpret symbolic content in the Naruto manga that point to Shintoism and Buddhism. I do not mean to mock Sir Derp Obito’s theories nor am I mocking Christianity. I apologize in advance if this offends anyone.
Enjoy!


Rikudō Sennin was Jesus Christ!
(The tale of NarutoVerse depicted in Verses of Scripture!)


Centuries ago, the sage defeated the most powerful demon in the ninja world, the Ten-Tails, and was praised as a god for the virtue of his victory. In order to protect the world from the Ten-Tails, the Sage developed a certain technique to seal the beast within his own body, giving him the ability to harness and control its overwhelming power.

The beast of Revelations was known to have 7 heads and 10 horns. Coincidence? I think not.

Is it any wonder that the number of the beast is “6-6-6” and Rikudō Sennin was the sage of the “Six” Paths?


Rikudō Sennin conquered the Juubi much in the same manner that Jesus conquered sin and death:

On Good Friday, Jesus was crucified and bore upon himself the hate and sins of the world for all time. He descended into hell dragging the hatred and evil intentions/sins of man with him, defeated the beast “Satan,” and on the third day he rose again.

This is explicitly symbolized by Rikudō Sennin’s quarrel with the Juubi, which represents the both the beast (which is Satan) and the cycle of hatred in the NarutoVerse. Rikudō Sennin bore upon himself the Juubi as its Jinchūriki, using the death reaper seal and surviving; this directly parallels Christ’s resurrection after submissively choosing to be crucified, rather than opposing Pontius Pilate so that he could resurrect and show death what-for.


During Jesus’s resurrection and ascension into the heavens, he left behind his disciples and for a time they wandered about at a loss, unsure of what to do without their savior, whom they had become dependent upon:

I feel this reflects the manner in which Rikudō Sennin left behind the bijū when his time came to depart from the world, and they too were at a loss without their master:

It is also certain that Rikudō Sennin was the original creator of all ninjutsu. This includes walking on water. Jesus demonstrated to Simon Peter that if he had enough faith, that he too could walk upon the water. Similarly, we see this demonstrated when Jiraiya teaches Naruto to have enough faith in himself to do so.

Lastly, the prophesies in the Bible and the prophecy in NarutoVerse both indicate the second coming of the world’s savior! It is a logical certainty that Kishimoto has taken inspiration from Christianity when writing the Naruto manga!

Once again, I remind you that none of this is to be taken seriously. Even I, as a Christian myself, believe this level of humor is acceptable.
I hope you enjoyed the read!

I´m actually, still, expecting for the Rikudou be some sort of serious badass attitude fellow.


He looks evil,and has a 6-6-6 motif on his neck, plus he´s the genius who spread a killing tool such as jutsu-martial art when there was none. I´m hoping on a turn on this felicity novel I follow :)

I don't think just because you make a disclaimer people won't get offended
It doesn't really make it any less disrespectful
What if I had been serious? Would people still be offended if I actually believed that Kishi was utilizing not just Shintoism and Buddhism, but also Christianity and other world religions as a basis for his inspiration?
If I were fully capable of backing up my claim, then people would merely disagree or agree with me (mostly disagree) and then go about their business without being offended.

Unfortunately, when making light of someone's (even my own) beliefs, it seems that it doesn't take much to get people riled up.

If I do end up banned for this thread being considered offensive, spam, and/or trolling, then I guess I would understand.

Nevertheless, I don't mean to make a mockery of anything other than perhaps the insane amount of symbolism and parallels that Kishimoto utilizes.
I shall repeat again that I apologize if this does indeed offend anyone... I'm kinda regretting this thread now...

Kishi sama takes inspiration from history and religion.... It's possible that he took something from Christainity as well.... =D =D

OT - The Thread Title made me think it was a complete Troll Thread and I was going to Report it.... But I read it and realized that you have made some good similarities.... Only your Thread Title is a bit off.... It could have been.... "Kishimoto's inspiration from Christianity" or Something like that....

Good idea. I'm going to rename it. Hopefully that helps calm the waters.

EDIT:
Crap! How do I even do that? Can't I rename my own thread?
