Note: This may be very obvious to alot of people. But most of my friends dont agree with me, so i decided to make a theory on this. Maybe its because they are dumb, maybe it isnt actually obvious ( i think its really obvious ), so i just made this for the people that didnt know this.
We know that Japan had lots of interactions with other eastern cultures such as China, India, and Egypt. There are characters from Naruto that represent people from those areas. Lets start off with China.
China
Bruce Lee is a born American but his origin is China. Bruce Lee made an impact to the world and many people were fascinated by him, including Kishimoto. Bruce Lee was a hard worker who was very optomistic. Who is similar to that category that we know in Naruto?
The name, the facial similarities, fighting styles....are all this a big coincident? I think not.
India
One of the biggest cultural impacts in Japan was India. They shared many arts and other cultural things. There is a god with many arms in India and India also believes some spiders were followers of Shiva. A character with many arms with spider like abilities, isnt that familiar? Yes it is.
Are all these characteristics a big coincident? I think not.
Egypt
Kishimoto must have been interested on Egypt.
Heres an Egyptian symbol. Looks familiar?
In the deserts of Egypt, people would travel, carrying big objects on their backs. As you know, the desert in Egypt is extremely big. And the Egyptions there had clothing that were netted and had sashes, along with puffy pants. Gaara, has puffy pants, netted clothing, and a sash, and his name is Gaara of the Desert, and he can use sand too.
Even in Shippuden this applies

Gaara's clothing represent egyptian style of clothing
Are all this just a coincident? I think not.
Not all characters are from different cultures, most of them are still japanese, but im just saying that Kishi hints of cultures via some of his characters, not all of them. And i dont mean that they are from that place, i mean they are just meant to represent people from those areas.
Not only does Kishimoto use cultures to represent some characters, he uses religion as well. Lets see if you can find someone in the Naruto universe who has similarities in the voodoo religion.
look at this doll used in the voodoo religion. Who does this remind you of? :P
You got it

As you can see, Kishimoto's characters in the Naruto Universe have some similarities to some things in our universe.
You might ask yourself, who does Sasuke represent? Well, i'll let you answer that yourself.
And Narutos and Neji's fight seemed very similar huh? Well heres why.
