Naruto, Vol. 13: The Chūnin Exam, Concluded...!!

The action scenes felt so dynamic and tense — I wonder if there were specific techniques or inspirations that shaped this portrayal.

The bonds formed during the exam seemed to add emotional weight to the story. Was this a deliberate focus from the start or did it develop naturally?

The diverse tests made each part of the exam stand out. Curious whether Kishimoto drew from traditional tests or created these entirely from imagination.
