Naruto #37: La lucha de Shikamaru

Naruto's powers keep growing, and I wonder what inspired the specific new techniques introduced here. Was it planned from the start or developed during the series?

His perseverance and setbacks felt so real, but I’m curious if others felt the same sense of hope or frustration along the way.

The environment and new characters added so much flavor. I wonder if the author based it on real-world locations or created it entirely from imagination.
