[](great site) shinto trinity(one)

The Uchiha Sharingan is symbolized by the mitsu-domoe. Also known as the fire-wheel/interlocked flames, this symbol is similar to the Taoist symbol of yin yang, representing the interdependence of heaven, earth and mankind. The mitsu-domoe is common in Japanese culture. They can be found on taiko drums, at the roofs of temples and shrines, martial arts dojos, and are even used as family crest. The symbol is specially regarded by the City of Okinawa, where a story tells of the sacrifice of three Okinawans/Ryukyuans who were boiled to death - thus, the swirling pattern.In this theory, however, the mitsu-domoe will be particularly identified with the Shinto Trinity.From the Japanese creation myth, the god Izanagi ascended from the underworld where his wife Izanami is forever trapped. He underwent purification by washing himself and brought forth the creation of other gods. The three kami (god) of utmost significance were created after he washed his face:

Amaterasu, the sun goddess and ruler of the heavens – born from the left eye;

Tsukuyomi, the moon god and ruler of the night - born from the right eye;

Susanoo, the storm god and ruler of the seas – born from the nose.

Amaterasu – goddess of the sun and ruler of the heavens

Sasuke obtained a Mangekyou Sharingan (from Itachi) that has the ability to perform Amaterasu, a technique that creates black flames and burn about anything in its path. This is also consistent to Sasuke's representation of yang (symbolizes day and sun).The feast of Amaterasu is celebrated twice in Japan. The first celebration is held every 17th of July – 6 days prior to Sasuke's birthday (23 July). Japanese myth tells the story of the rivalry between Amaterasu and her brother Susanoo, god of storms and ruler of the seas.One heated fit lead to the death of one of Amaterasu's attendants. This action drove Amaterasu to the cave Iwayado, obscuring light and leaving the world in darkness. The goddess Ama-no-Uzume set a plan and drew Amaterasu out, once again illuminating the world.This event, Amaterasu's coming out of the cave, is celebrated every 21st of December – 6 days prior to Hinata's birthday (27 December).

In the Naruto manga chapter 297, the Hinata cover says: "She sets out for the sun, its golden light her beacon."

Hinata may bring light to Sasuke’s darkness (and the name pun is unintended here).According to tradition, the Ama-no-Iwato shrine in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture* is said to be the location of Iwayado, the cave where Amaterasu hid. *Miyazaki Prefecture is formerly known as Hyuga Province.

Tsukuyomi – god of the moon and ruler of the night

Sasuke's basic Sharingan is able to counter Tsukuyomi, another Mangekyou Sharingan technique that has the ability to cast illusion under the control of the user.Hinata's represenation of yin (symbolizes night and moon).Susanoo – god of the storms and ruler of the seas

- Susanoo wielded the Kusanagi, that of which he obtained by defeating Yamato no Orochi. Sasuke has his own as well, that of which he obtained by being an apprentice of Orochimaru; - From the heavens, Susanoo descended to Izumo where he saved his future wife, Kushinada-hime, a rice paddy princess. Note that Otogakure no Sato (Hidden Village of Sound) is located in the Country of Rice Fields.

Susanoo's strong rivalry against Amaterasu ended in his banishment from the heavens. Upon his descent to Izumo (now part of Shimane Prefecture), he met a weeping couple. The old couple explained that they have eight daughters, seven of which have been devoured by Yamato no Orochi, and that the eighth princess, Kushinada-hime, is next.

After realizing the couple's relation to Amaterasu, Susanoo offered assistance and agreed to kill Orochi in exchange for Kushinada-hime's hand in marriage. With the aid of sake, Susanoo decapitated the many heads of Orochi. From one of his tails, Susanoo obtained a sword, later known as the Kusanagi. This sword was later offered to Amaterasu as gift of reconciliation.

The Hyuga family name means to the sun; The first names of the known clan members – with a few the exceptions– are of or related to the sun. Hinata, in particular, means a sunny place. Kushinada-hime is a rice paddy princess. The name Hinata can also mean princess (hina) rice field (ta); and she is a clan heir.

Kushinada-hime is written as 櫛名田比売. The kanji 田 actually corresponds to ta, which means that 櫛名田比売 can be read as Kushinata-hime. In Japanese, a word starting with the letter t is changed to d when a suffix ending in a vowel is added.

Example: Chi (Thousand) + Tori (bird/s) = Chidori. Conversely: Kushinada = Kushina + ta.

Based on the above speculations, Sasuke and Hinata may both be associated to the Shinto Trinity. The difference is that Sasuke's conjunction is distinct (through his bloodline limit and possible protrayal) whole Hinata's conjunction is subtle (through underlying mythology).

Warning: Chapter 392 Spoilers!

Who best fits Susanoo - Itachi or Sasuke? Susanoo

- od of storms and seas - obtained the Kusanagi from Yamata no Orochi

? Sasuke ? - unleashes Kirin under stormy skies - katana: Kusanagi

? Itachi ? - unleashes a jutsu called Susanoo when the skies start to clear - katana: Sakegari, used to pierce Orochimaru and seal him inside what looked like a sake gourd. Susanoo weakened Yamata no Orochi by letting him drink sake until he was too drunk to fight evenly.

Based on the comparisons, although a jutsu of Itachi is named after Susanoo, it is still Sasuke – so far - who portrays him.

NOTES 'Itachi Susanoo' was able to seal away  the suppressed Orochimaru. However, another Orochimaru is being revived by Kabuto which may be the counterpart of  'Sasuke Susanoo'.

Warning: Chapter 401 Spoilers! Susanoo is the god of storms and seas.Similarly, Sasuke may be associated to both as well.

- storms, through his ability to use lightning-based techniques; - seas, through his most recent depiction as standing amidst crashing waves.

shinto trinity(two)

? Itachi ? - strong rivalry against Sasuke (Susanoo) - unleashes jutsu under sunny skies. Amaterasu is goddess of the sun.

In the last chapter, note that after Itachi passed out/died (?), the once clear skies transformed back to stormy clouds.

- Mythologically, Amaterasu came out from hiding and saw her reflection in Yata no Kagami, which was hung with Yasakani no Magatama. Itachi's Susanoo jutsu carried both treasures, Yata no Kagami used as shield and Yasakani no Magatama as his earring/s. - Amaterasu is Itachi's only jutsu that was not 'matched' by his younger brother. Tsukuyomi's genjutsu was easily countered by Sasuke. The Sakegari of the Susanoo is counter to Sasuke's Kusanagi. - In genjutsu, Itachi was also seen to transform into multiple crows. This may refer to Amaterasu's Jungle Crow pet, Yatagarasu. Yatagarasu is usually depicted in art to have three legs but no record of this has been said in the Japanese Records of Ancient Matters.

Sasuke, Hinata and Itachi (as Amaterasu) In Between

Warning: Chapter 396 Spoilers!

Among the techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it is Amaterasu that Sasuke obtained from his brother.

The line of manga chapter 297 where Hinata is a cover says (slight difference in translations may occur):

"Guided by the golden light, now she steps into the sun!" Another way of looking at this line may be depicted in the events of manga chapter 396.

The golden light and the sun may pertain to the sun goddess Amaterasu, post-theory speculated as the possible portrayal of Itachi.

After Tobi and Zetsu left Team Konoha, Hinata used her Byakugan and spotted Itachi's Amaterasu (albeit the flames are black and not golden) which was where Sasuke may also be located.

Hinata also did step into the sun, only after Yamato’s winding fissure paved the way.

Based on the theory, the feast of Amaterasu is celebrated twice: July 17, six days before Sasuke’s birthday; and December 21, six days before Hinata’s birthday. This specifically celebrates the coming out of the cave of Amaterasu.

Similarly, upcoming chapters are set to reveal the truth behind Uchiha Itachi, which may support a post-theory speculation that Itachi may portray Amaterasu.

NOTES For lilmissf-ingsunshine, who suggested this challenge. Another possible common factor between Sasuke and Hinata in recent chapters is emphasis of the left eye. Amaterasu is born from the left eye. And as previously stated, Sasuke and Hinata may be associated to the sun goddess through actual feasts and fictionally, Itachi's jutsu. Hinata's left eye (Byakugan-activated) has been stressed three times to date since the attempt to retrieve Sasuke:

(1) Against Kabuto/Orochimaru, may portray Yamata no Orochi from the myth of Susanoo (2) Against Tobi/Madara, theoretically postulated as Tsukuyomi (3) Locating Itachi's Amaterasu

Incidentally, all the above characters are directly associated to Sasuke both in the actual story and in this theory.

Tobi/Madara portrays Tsukuyomi ? - manga chapter 363 shows Tobi giving orders to Pein, which may depict that it Tobi is actually the true leader of Akatsuki.

Akatsuki, although literally daybreak, has a pun that can mean red (aka) moon (tsuki). The red moon is evident in one of the most powerful genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan, appropriately named Tsukuyomi, where it hangs in the skies of the illusion and casts a red light. - The Shinto kami Tsukuyomi was born from Izanagi’s right eye.

Note that Tobi/Madara’s only visible eye is his right. - Amaterasu versus Tsukuyomi

Contrary to Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu was born from Izanagi’s left eye. Amaterasu used to live together with Tsukuyomi but was extremely angered when Tsukuyomi killed another kami. Such event henceforth separated night from day. Manga chapter 397 depicted how Sasuke’s Amaterasu (left eye, from Itachi’s Mangekyou Sharingan) activated when Tobi/Madara (right eye or himself as speculated, Tsukuyomi) started to remove his mask.
