in naruto, many fights often corresponded to yearning, “personal” fights were desperate and full of emotional struggle. this was notable at the end of naruto OG in naruto vs sasuke, with animation that stood the test of time.
kakashi vs obito directly paralleled the past they once had. of course, sasuke vs itachi, where i wanted to look into itachi’s mind far more than genjutsu ever could. even pain vs jiraiya had this bitter irony. this is only to name a few
