Naruto n. 29: Kakashi contro Itachi

The fight scenes are so dynamic and detailed — I wonder what inspired the panel layouts and character expressions during this clash.

Their confrontation seemed to carry a weight beyond just the fight. What do others think this reveals about their characters' pasts?

It felt like a pivotal moment for character development. I'm curious whether this was planned from the beginning or a later decision to ramp up the story.
