For creators today (like the artists behind Jujutsu Kaisen or My Hero Academia ), they aren't just imitating the anime; they are imitating Kishimoto’s panel layout. They are studying how he draws a glance between rivals or how he uses negative space to show loneliness.

Because the historieta is pure. It is unfiltered Kishimoto.

When most people think of Naruto , they think of the anime: the iconic orange jumpsuit, the thunderous "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," and the emotional score that made us cry over a fictional raven-haired boy named Sasuke.

Believe it.
