We know that Sasuke and Orochimaru retrieved the Shinigami Mask in the Uzumaki Shrine, but the specific place they retrieved it according to the Viz Translation is the Uzumaki Noh Mask Hall

nice finds.. kishi gets a lot of his idea's from japanese myths and culture however i did not think about the uzumaki clan and the shinto shrines

i also have my suspicions that the SO6P is an uzumaki

Were those masks even guarded? I mean, I would assume the Uzumakis would be pissed to find that they didn't even guard their masks.

Great theory man. I also believe there were 27 masks in total which correspond to 27 of the god/demi-gods in japan including tsukuyomi and so on. Not completely sure about that one, saw it on narutoforums once.

edit: not really a theory, but great info! :D

Holy shiet, you just figured out why rikudou has horns in his silhouette XD

Anyways, fantastic theory as usual, i love the implementation of the shinto culture :)
