ninjas are from western people... noted!

thank you!

I knew it wouldn't take long for the bullshit express to get going on this thread, but it was close to Neogaf speeds and that frankly surprised me.

Naruto borrows heavily from foreign cultures. Pain and the Six Paths came from indian mythology and religion; Kaguya and the tree of chakra, from babylonian and jewish sources. Half of the japanese concepts on the series ultimately have their roots on China, and so on. Most of the characters themselves aren't even designed to look japanese.
