In this case it was just a case of fiinally realising the connection.
It's surprising how much japanese mythology is slipped in to the anime series - I've also seen the monkey god pop up in all sorts of places (or references to him) and it always makes me smile to see him. Mainly because I have fond memories of the Live-Action TV Series 'Monkey' which deals with the legend of him escorting a holy man across from japan to india.
Anyhow - as I thought it was interesting I thought I'd share, and I wanted to say thanks to ANBU Aone for subbing so many great shows (especially Naruto).
BTW - my money is the Naruto is in fact the 4th - as nine-tails is still inside of Naruto it's soul was not eaten, and in the last few episodes we find out that both souls are taken together and spend all eternity in conflict. Assuming that both have to be taken at once then if the fox is still around then the 4th must still be around somehow. So my belief is that the fourth trapped the fox inside his own body, but the of the jutsu not being able to complete was to take all the fourths knowledge and skill - which would explain why he was turned back to a baby.
