Masashi Kishimoto is with out a doubt a Star Wars fan and e was also inspired by it(A Viz Media interview with him proves it). In the anime Naruto, there are some small references to Star Wars, filler and canon. I'm not sure about how Marvel impacted him but I guess he likes it.

In Naruto Part 1, the Blade of the Thunder Spirit used by Aoi Rokushō in the filler episode 105. The weapon was inpired by the lightsabers used in Star Wars, it kinda looks like it but it definitely sounds like it.

I bet someone here has seen that meme that compares the similarities of Star Wars and Naruto. Sure it's a meme but it's based on facts because the plots are very, very similar, it's too similar to think it's just a coincidence.

In Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals, I forgot which episode but I do remember Tenten telling a story and she said and I quote"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" and in the story she was telling, Naruto was in it activating a lightsaber to strike down a robot.

In Naruto Shippuden, the final battle with Naruto and Sasuke, when they lost their arms. Naruto lost his right arm, Luke Skywalker lost his right hand. Yeah this might seem as a stretch but Luke did get a new hand and Naruto got a new arm, this also seems to similar just to be a coincidence.

In the 2 episodes of Mecha Naruto, the Mecha Naruto armour went on his body like the Iron-Man suit goes on Tony Stark. He also had a computer system in his face, he could fly,shoot beams. That is obviously inpired by Marvel.

There is probably something I'm missing out.

If someone could please add this on the Wiki Fandom I would appreciate it.
