[Theory] Kishimoto's Inspiration Behind Rikudou Sennin Meeting Naruto Uzumaki

first of all, Naruto soundtrack  



Naruto City:




Where the famous Naruto whirlpools are found:



Is located in Shikoku Island:


In this island was born a priest named Kukai:





Kukai was the founder of Shingon Buddhism, The Urabe Clan which the Uzumaki Clan was based from practiced Ryobu Shinto also known as Shingon Shinto which is the incorporation of Shintoism with the Shingon sect of Vajra Buddhism:



When Kukai was nearing his death, he retreated to the mountains:



And entered an Eternal Samadhi which is a mystical form of mental concentration:



He did this to avoid death so that he could await and meet his successor, the Maitreya Bodhisattva:



This I believe is Kishimoto's inspiration for Naruto meeting Rikudou Sennin inside his subconscious like Minato and Kushina did, Naruto is Rikudou's successor and Rikudou most probably stored his chakra essence inside Kurama and the Bijuus so that one day he could meet the person who had united them, his successor Naruto:
