-Izanagi is the God of the Heavens, the highest being in the beginning of time. Izanami is the beautiful goddess of love who became the wife of Izanagi.

-The reason why I chose to read and write notes on this story is because of an anime I used to watch called Naruto. Naruto is an anime about ninjas and Izanagi and Izanami happens to be the name of jutsu that is extremely over-powered in the series.

-In the beginning of time, hordes of gods and goddesses emerged out of the hearts of the earth's blossoms, and the last god to come out was Izanagi and Izanami.

-Life on earth started through Izanagi and Izanami, making countless generations of man and beasts. 

-Amaterasu is a jutsu that engulfs whatever the user is looking at with black flames that cannot be put out until it burns whatever it is touching. It can even burn fire itself. 

-In the original story, Amaterasu is the daughter of Izanagi and Izanami who would eventually give birth to a son named Susa-no-wo-no-mikoto.

-Susanoo' is a name of another jutsu but only inhibited by the Uchiha Clan and by the users of the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is the ultimate defensive jutsu which can hold immense offensive power if used correctly. 

-For my next story, similar to this one, I want to write a story where the two gods/goddesses end up fighting and the collateral is too much for earth to handle.
