Sasuke X Hinata Theories
by July Winter
sasuhina theory no 6
IMPERIAL REGALIA
This theory will attempt to relate Sasuke and Hinata to the Imperial Regalia of Japan.
The Imperial Regalia of Japan are the three sacred treasures that Amaterasu gave Ninigi-no-mikoto upon his descent from heaven to pacify Japan. The three treasures are composed of the following: the sacred sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (grass-cutting sword), the sacred mirror Yata no Kagami (octagonal mirror), and the sacred jewel Yasakani no Magatama (jewels); each represent a virtue based on Buddhist thought.
According to Shinto thought, the mirror as reflecting everything properly is a symbol for "Honesty," the sword for "Braveness," and the jewel for "Affection."
-----
Kusanagi no Tsurugi
Kusanagi no Tsurugi is the sword obtained by the storm god Susanoo after he slain the eight-headed serpent Yamato-no-Orochi. This sword was later offered to Amaterasu as gift of reconciliation.
Sasuke carries his own kusanagi after training under Orochimaru.
Kept in Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya and representing the virtue of valor, Sasuke may now have the courage to face his infamous brother and his past.
Yata no Kagami
In Naruto manga chapter 297, the Hinata cover says:
Quote:
She sets out for the sun, its golden light her beacon.
The octagonal mirror was used to lure the sun goddess, Amaterasu, out of a cave. According to myth, Amaterasu saw her reflection and was then convinced to end the darkness of the world.
The Yata no Kagami is the emblem used by kodokan judo. It is believed that the mirror does not reflect physical beauty, but that of the soul.
Kept in the Grand Ise Shrine in Mie, the octagonal mirror represents the virtue of wisdom. Hinata may now have the ability to judge based on her own principles.
The shape of the mirror is also comparable to the symbol of the eight trigrams or bagua, as shown by the Hyuga divination field. In Chinese geomancy (feng shui, literally wind water*), the bagua balances positive qi (energy) to bring harmony in the different aspects of a person's life. With the mirror, the bagua can nullify negative qi and bring about balance.
Generally, there are three types of bagua mirrors:
(1) An octagonal wood or plastic with the eight trigrams surrounding a round mirror in the center;
(2) An octagonal wood with an octagonal mirror and a glass covering painted on the inside with the taijitu (yin yang) symbol surrounded by the eight trigrams;
(3) A combination of the door gods and the bagua mirror. This is sometime portrayed by a god holding a staff and riding a tiger. Above this figure are the
eight trigrams.
The Hyuga divination field closely resembles the second type.
When the blue** mirror coincides with the bagua (divination), Hinata may not only be the light to Sasuke's darkness, but one that relieves the burden of his soul as well.
Yasakani no Magatama
The magatama jewels were hung along with Yata no Kagami outside the cave where Amaterasu hid.
The magatama are curved, comma-like jade beads that have a perforation at the thick end. Their true symbolism is uncertain, but are often likened to half-yin yang, among others.
The head priest of Tamatsukuri Inari Shrine in Osaka once developed a philosophy. He postulated that if there is a good fit between two magatama to form a yin yang, a good fit between two souls, there may be social and marital harmony.
The magatama yin may be portrayed by the divination taijitu symbol of Hinata;
The magatama yang may be portrayed by the sharingan tomoe of Sasuke.
Kept in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and representing the virtue of benevolence, a possible relationship between Sasuke and Hinata may be one bound by unqualified love.
-----
There are no known photographs or images of the Imperial Regalia as they are not publicly shown. Only the ascending emperor and certain priests are allowed its view. The three treasures are symbols of the legitimacy of Japan's Imperial Family.
Similarly, if Sasuke and Hinata both represent parts of the Imperial Regalia, their union may portray Naruto's future Imperial Family as well.

* Based on previous theories, wind and water are the two possible elements Hinata may have affinities with.
** With reference to Hinata's hair color. In feng shui, a blue octagonal mirror depicts a complete and smooth flow of life.

In Naruto manga chapter 354, Sasuke encountered two nin-cats living in the Uchiha weapons storehouse.
Quote:
Denka, Hina... How have you two been?
Denka is a Japanese honorific attached to one with royal title. It is roughly equated to Royal Highness;
Denka is a Japanese honorific attached to one with royal title. It is roughly equated to Royal Highness;
In poetry, Hina may mean princess ; it could also mean empress, based on the the traditional empress doll (called o-hina-sama), displayed in homes along with other Imperial Court men during Hinamatsuri (Japanese Doll Festival).
Empress: Hinata?
The maneki neko (beckoning cat), shown in page 07, is a bobtail of Japanese folklore believed to bring good fortune.
Legend of the beckoning cat tells the story of how an emperor was saved by a cat from being struck by lightning. The emperor felt in debt with the cat and pronounced that cats should be respected and considered sacred.
Sasuke offers to pay his debt to the Elder Cat.
In early Japan, bobtails were considered pets only of those with nobility status.
Emperor: Sasuke?
Hina may be based on Hina dolls – traditional imperial court dolls, which usually include a prince, a princess and other court men.
Page 07 shows a cat with its right paw raised. The maneki neko, commonly known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat, is a bobtail of Japanese folklore believed to bring good fortune. In early Japan, bobtails were considered pets only of those with nobility status.
From these, the Uchiha does seem to portray an imperial family.
Hinata's role may also be found by literally looking at denka hina. It may translate into Royal Highness Hina.
Just a speculation.
-----
The Phoenix and the Dragon is also symbol of the Imperial Family.
The Phoenix is particularly associated with the Empress.
Phoenix?
Possibly depicted on a rooftop where the 8-man cell met before they separately searched for Sasuke. Hinata was one of them.
On the other hand, the Dragon is associated with the Emperor.
Depicted as one of Deidara's 'explosive art' in an anticipated fight. He goes against Sasuke.
