[Theory] Uzumaki: The Jashinist clan?!

To quote:

"In Shinto cosmology, the square stands for the Sun God Amaterasu, the circle for the Moon God Tsukuyomi no Mikoto, and the triangle for the God of the Stars, Susanoo-no-Mikoto."

...

"The Sun (Amaterasu, represented by the square), symbolizes our inner light, and rules the day, the state of Divine Presence. When presence is absent, the moon gives light, and rules the night, the state of sleep , in which man spends most of his days. The moon (Tsukuyomi no Mikoto, represented by the circle) symbolizes our ruling faculty or the mind, which Gurdjieff called the steward. It tries to bring us back to the state of presence. Gurdjieff spoke about creating moon in oneself, which means creating a steward, or a faculty in oneself that keeps reminding one to not sleep, but to be present."

This would 'explain' why Susano'o is able to counter Tsukuyomi. Also of interest is that the symbol on Naruto's hand is that of the full moon.

Anyway - I'm not quite sure what to make of Jashinism. While it is possible that Jashinism is related to the Sage's brother (and I suspect that Jashinism will return to play a role, one way or another)... I doubt it has much to do with the Uzumaki.

The Uzumaki were, most likely, the original tenants of the God Tree. The inspiration for the Uzumaki likely came from a particular island chain known as the Izu islands, where an ancient tree-worshiping religion existed. Even without tree worshiping per se - Japanese mythology speaks of the Kodama - a tree spirit, of sorts, that is often vengeful toward anyone who takes of its produce.

The Uzumaki, from what little we have seen of their traditions, would appear to resemble the more shamanistic practices involving chants, rituals, sacred objects, etc. While Jashinism certainly has some rituals behind it... I suspect it and the Uzumaki are not the same.

Perhaps at best, Jashinism would be an off-shoot of Uzumaki who went from worshiping trees to worshiping Jashin.

It's an interesting idea, though.

Interesting information you brought here, thanks. And as for the bold, I indeed do not support that the whole clan was liek that but rather a handful of them. Also, what about the triangle? You did say about the other two symbols but you didn't elaborate on this crucial one.

Very interesting. I never considered anything like this. It would make sense if Hidan's ritual indeed involves some form of sealing jutsu to be able to have the vodoo-like effect on his opponent after he obtains their blood.

Well it's very far -fetched to begin with bu that doesn't mean that it doesn't hold some truth in it.

saw an idea on another forum....what if hidan gets caught in the IT and the tree roots dig him out? the return of hidan arc! lol
edit: what village was hidan from? and his hair was purplish not red i think

Lol that would be some crazy idea. As for Hidan, as I stated, I've never implied that he was an uzumaki but rather that he was one of the few remaininn people to whom Jashin's religion had been spred. That being said, he has no connection to the uzumaki.

Yeah I wrote up really similar thoughts several times this past year. I think between zetsu, Kaguya, hagaromos brother, Hidan and the reaper death seal we are going to see some more jashin, and any of those people above could be revealed as him. Hidan isn't dead either. Kishi made a point to have edo Kakuza remind us in the war. Hidan was likely saved by zetsu.

That would actually make sense, I guess we still have to wait and see.
