Kishimoto was very influenced by Togashi.

Anyone who claims that Naruto ripped of HxH and not the other way around, explain to me why it's HxH that has constant hiatuses, not Naruto. Wouldn't it be the copycat that would need to give the other writer more time to advance the story before being able to continue ripping it off?

Bleach is YYH and extremely watered down versions of the girls from Ushio to Tora. Pic related is Orihime and tomboy childhood friend (who actually wins)

Orochimaru is a hisoka ripoff and the chunin exams are pretty much just the hunter exams.
