Been on my mind for a while. Just character interactions that really speak to you.
1.) Boruto / Naruto
Kishi's most layered & impressive character writing. Their quieter moments in Boruto: The Movie are genuinely 99% of the manga.
2.) Shisui / Itachi
Weird for me to praise Itachi, I know- but just on terms of interaction? These two working behind the scenes as double agents under both Hiruzen and Danzo is a really cool concept. Shisui shows some depth and has flaws. The romantic aspect to their relationship is debatable but important. Kabuto and Itachi's parallels are also really cool.
3.) Naruto / Shikamaru
Brotherly respect from childhood. Naruto saves Shikamaru and gives him something to fight for. Shikamaru reciprocates by parenting him into the Hokage seat.

More curious to know yours. Shoot.
