I thought it would be cool to talk about all the Japanese mythology that is used in Naruto

-Tailed Beasts
-Certain Names
-Weapons


And anything else that traces back to some Japanese myth

I learned this from Golden Sun (video game).
A sword was taken from the head of a slain giant snake by a hero, and he beat the snake by gettin' it drunk.

Now for more specific info.
The sword was the Kusangi blade.
The giant snake was the Yamato no Orochi
Not as important, but the "hero" who killed Yamato no Orochi was Susuno (one of three gods, the other two are Amatersu and Tsukuyomi)

...which is turned into a video game, "Okami." =3

He didnt get that dragon drunk.It was jut freggen dragons bane >.>.Spam!!!

[atomkai]

The triad of Jiraiya, Tsunade & Orochimaru all stem from a Japanese myth (If memory serves, it was called "The Tale of Gallant Jiraiya").

[Mihamaru]

Garuga, in the real legend, Susuno for the Yamato no Orochi drunk off of wine (or rice wine/sake, I forget)

[Abysss]

Things I know.

Like atomkai said, The Sannin are from a myth where a man named Jiraiay practices toad magic and his wife if Tsunade. He has a pupil (not sure if his name is Orochimaru), who turns even and practices snake magic, and in the end they have some kind of battle.

I forget about tailed beasts but I know they are from some myth in Japan if I am correct.

The names Sasuke and Sarutobi were taken from name Sarutobi Sasuke, the person  who was said to be the greatest ninja who ever lived.

Drunken Fist is a real fighting style and people learn to use it while they are sober.(Saw this on some martial arts show.)

I am sure I knwo more but I forget them at the moment.

[Mihamaru]

Abyss, his name wasn't originally Orochimaru.
But when he started practicing snake magic, he became known as Orochmaru.
Jirayia (and maybe Tsunade) died in that story, but were brought back.

 
Maybe there is hope for teh pervy sage!!!

[Mihamaru]

I heard Rock Lee was based off or Bruce Lee.
I mean, they have the same bowl cut, birthday, and their sober fighting styles are both focused on kicks.

That proves it.
