Naruto is obviously connected to the fish stuff you put in your cakes, which is not surprising considering Kishimoto wanted to make a manga about a ramen shop first.

However, these Naruto fishcakes often have a spiral in them, and it doesn't take much effort to see this spiral theme in naruto, like his clan logo and the Rasengan itself.
