Nah.
Regarding the intro; that was just the pattern.
In the regular intro, where Naruto is in the flashlight and corners Sasuke with six or more Rasenshuriken's and forces him to run up the statue, we see Naruto's battered Konoha hitai ate on the ground and a leaf falling next to it.
There were little nuances, like how the attacker in the intro seemed to lose at the end (judging from the shinken/hitai ate on the ground) and while the leaf that fell next to Naruto's hitai ate was intact, the one that fell next to Sasuke's shinken was torn.
Meh, but I think what we're doing here is just over analyzing.
The moral I got from watching both of the intros was that the one that was attacking, initiating the fight, seemed to lose at the end.
That's all. :shrug:
