    I love Japanese.myth. When I lived in Japan, there was a story of an old tree located on Atsugi Air base which was said to be protected by some supernatural force. Everyone who had tried to chop it down died in the act.

    Tengu are my favorite yokai as they are associated with pride and arrogance but also with wisdom and spirituality. As they are also revered as small deities or gods.

      It's not just that in fact the ninjas in Naruto more closely ressemble the mythical Tengu than real life ninjas powerscale wise. Real life ninjas try to draw into one of the tengu's abilities of bejng stealthy but the Ninjas of Naruto are more closely emulate all their abilities.
      It's also no coincidence that the place where the Tengu live is called Konohagakure.

    9th year, Spring, and month, 23rd day. A great star floated from East to West, and there was a noise like that of thunder. The people of that day said that it was the sound of the falling star. Others said that it was earth-thunder. Hereupon the Buddhist Priest Bin said:-"It is not the falling star, but the Celestial Dog, the sound of whose barking is like thunder." - 720 AD

    I have read that the origin of the Tengu myth is debated. It is not established as coming from China. Some scholars believe it is purely Japanese while others believe the myth of the Tengu may be an amalgamation of Japanese mythology and Chinese mythology, but no serious scholar has established the they come from China exclusively.

(If you are interested in the incident, you can check Akou-Jiken 赤穂事件 or Chuushin-gura 忠臣蔵. But, remind you, both that movie and the original story are fantasized or glorified heavily.)
