What the deuce ? wwe ? ........did i missed something here ?

Old school WWE/WWF.

Kishimoto paid a tribute to this wrestling tag team called "The Killer Bees." That's why he created Raikage A and Killer B.
Furthermore, Kishi paid tribute to famous boxer Muhammad Ali's "Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee."

And if you didn't notice, Kishi must be a fan of C.M. Punk. He keeps making Obito say "go to sleep." (GTS)

In One Piece, Pirates aren't Pirates.
In Bleach, Soul Reapers aren't Soul Reapers.
In Full Metal Alchemist, Alchemists aren't Alchemists.

. . . Nothing New . . .

Ninja is just the word they use.

The same way pirates don't all eat magic fruit and fight in wars looking for the one piece and alchemists isn't a name in the real world for people who can create fire and steel from their fingertips to use in battles.

Called imagination dude, the word ninja was Kishi's starting point and now we're here. Would you really enjoy a show about a bunch of non-talking, faceless black hooded killing machines? Would that really be more entertaining.

İt was obvious that Kishi made his own incarnation of ninja even from the beginning.

Series started with a kid who is supposedely wanting to be a ninja yelling around with orange pyjamas.

About characters who are close to "real" ninja by design, character, skills etc...

Sai? We can see half of his belly and he can fly over shit with his ink birds.
Zabuza? Can create a dragon out of water.
Lee? Wears green tights and can go hypersonic.
Kakashi? Which ninja views porn in public?
Tenten? Now that can be closest to a true ninja. But she has a colorful attire and can spam an arsenal of steel out of paper scrolls.

So true. ^^ Well played.

There is nothing stealthy or espionage-like about Naruto wearing orange or Sakura wearing pink/red.

Also, I've never seen a ninja with open toed shoes. Heh...at least they look better than crocs. >_>

A ninja, looking at all the shit currently happening in the manga, is a person who can spam mountain busting techniques.

First of all Ninja typically didn't where all black get ups like Hollywood portrays them. The ninja's most common job was intelligence gathering/espionage and thievery, assassinations were less frequent than folk lore would have many believe. They wore disguises of varying types to achieve this including dressing as monks, beggars and musicians. The black attire was solely for night missions such as thefts and the occasional assassination.

As for Naruto ninja's they are hyperbole's of the myth's that surround ninjas such as disappearing, invisibility and mystical attacks. We know through history that real life ninja were able to deceive their enemies eyes with tricks which led to the misunderstanding of magic. Kishi simply made this idea into a physical phenomenon in his manga via chakra. This manga has always been about and still is about the romanticism of the notion of what ninja are capable of. If you want an accurate depiction of ninja read a history book.

The Narutoverse used to be about ninja in Hashirama's era....

...then the Uchiha Fire Nation attacked, and everything changed.

When was the last time you ever saw a ninja? Oh right in fiction.
