People in NB be like "When finding some mark/pattern in the current time that resembles the mark/pattern that exist in previous time its meant 'a connection' ". :elmo:
So far in the original Naruto series parallel or connection between something from past and present or between a clan with "something" and its more to do with a certain symbol never actually happen.
No. Kishimoto almost never thinks 3 steps ahead. He's an irony of his creations. :lol He should learn from Shikamaru.
But seriously, there could be some connection, though it could just be because Kishimoto uses symbolism meaningfully, so everything that pertains to such can be correct because he almost never makes a mistake when it comes to that. :bdpf:
