Naruto Vol. 3: For Your Dreams...!!

Watching Naruto's ambitions grow feels like a pivotal moment. I'm curious if this was planned from the start or shaped by the story's progression.

His determination and humor are so genuine, but I wonder if the author intentionally emphasized these traits here or if they evolved naturally.

The action scenes are so dynamic and creative—did the author draw from traditional martial arts or invent these moves to enhance the story?
