I know this sounds odd, concerning Naruto specially. But I ended up seeing similarities.
-Naruto can turn into the Kyuubi when he loses his temper, turning into a mindless and mercyless killer. He has an elemental seal on his belly, while lycanthropes are said to have pentagrams in their skin (pentagrams are a 5 elemental symbol). This is an 'old-werewolf movie' lore.
He's also loyal and sort of dumb. He is scared of his counter part, and seeks mystical ways to keep his control (such as a werewolf seeks gypsies to control his curse). In a way, the Kyuubi is indeed a curse. And having a chakra that turns others to stone seems to me like a gypsy curse that makes your own blood poisonous (turning to stone is a gypsy curse, although I'm lacking sources to quote).
-Sasuke's eyes seem bloodshot like that of Vampires. These are known to have hypnotic powers to lure their victims and to be cold and souless. Sasuke's hatred has turned him very cold and he always had very strong genjutsu powers. He also has now the ability to fly, using his Kuchyose, and a wonderful sight. He also cries blood tears when using his powers, and blood tears are also a vampiric sign.
He is extremely rational, although his lust for killing can drive him more than his reason.
-Both of them seem to have the exact opposite of each other in therms of techniques, and somehow nullify each other. Modern tales of Vampires and Werewolves seem to insist on a sort of rivalry between werewolves and vampires, as if they were destined to fight each other till the end of time.
So the question is on: are Naruto versus Sasuke fights somehow inspired in Vampire versus Werewolves disputes?
Just so you know, I've accidentaly seen one only movie of those "New Moon/Whatever" series (due to my wife renting it), and I just can't help knowing about those because there are mentions to it everywhere (so, not a fan of those whatsoever). -_-' And I'm not a fan of Vampire or Werewolf RPGs whatsoever either. I never wished for Nartuto to have any relationship with this theme, but it came landing on my lap... Sry.
