NARUTO -ナルト- 巻ノ二十四 (コミック)

The pacing feels just right, but I'm curious whether they planned the emotional beats alongside the fight scenes from the start.

His methods were so outside the usual ninja rules — did that reflect a bigger shift in the series' themes or just this story arc?

The art for the new foes was so distinctive; I wonder how much of their look was conceptual versus iterative during the drawing process.
