I don't know if someone has already noticed or posted something like this.

In this Kaguya Arc, I noticed a few parallels to the very first arc, aka the Wave Country Arc.
First, Naruto and Sasuke are working together again, just like they did in their fight against Haku.
They're in ice world (well Sasuke was), while back in that first arc, they fought Haku in his circle of ice mirrors.
It's not at all the same, but Kaguya's dimension traveling kinda reminds me of when Haku would travel from mirror to mirror.

Naruto is even going back to his basic techniques like old times. He even made a throwback to that time.

I wouldn't be surprised if either Naruto or Sasuke would jump in front to save the other from a fatal attack from Kaguya, if it happens.

It's not all the same, just some things I noticed, and I don't know what it means. At least Sakura is not just cheering on the sidelines anymore. Kakashi is not doing anything atm though hmm

Other note: Some are saying that it's like Sasuke Retrieval Arc again just because they're trying to save him again. It's kinda funny though because Sakura wasn't allowed to go in the first mission, but now it looks like she's the only one going (other than Obito ofc)
Shino must be pretty mad :erm:

Oh and hello, new member here :hi: Go easy on me, okay? :)
I'm not particularly good at handling arguments and debates tbh, but hopefully I'll get better through experience here hehe.
Thank you!

Wow very nice analogy. I never really thought of that. Yeah most of what is going on is nostalgia stuff by Kishi. I would not be surprised if this is one of them. I am not surprised though that Naruto and Sasuke are fighting side by side. This whole show was based on these two characters. It is only fitting that they get to fight side by side. Sasuke is the alter ego of Naruto. They are complete opposites who connect well with one another. Naruto in terms of power while Sasuke in terms of brains. People here say that Sasuke has not shown enough feats as Naruto. Yet fail to realize that Sasuke has shown to be a genius over and over again in his fights against other people. I would not judge Sasuke on his feats. I would judge him on his skill factors. I feel he has plenty of them to show. Anyways I would like to end by saying maybe these dimensions have a connection with Naruto and Sasuke's memories? Who knows it could be possible that they are made from affinities that both of these two have fought in the past.

Very nice catch.
I would like for it to be intentional on Kishimoto's part, y'know? Tieing the last (i hope?) arc to the first arc in terms of themes and aesthetics. I doubt there'll be plot significance to it though, as far as these realms being tied to Naruto and Sasuke's memories or something like that. These are realms connected to Kaguya and her powers, not theres.
