Yoshimichi Kameda:
唯一参加してるナルト。山下宏幸さんに鋼FA終わりに誘われたお仕事。懐かーーっ!当時毎日のように見てたストレンジアの影響でレイアウトではナルトとリー君の顔もっと近づけてました笑

According to Kameda, his first job after FMA. He was watching Sword of the Stranger so often at the time that he brought Naruto and Lee's faces closer together at the end [to mimic the famous clash at the end of that movie]

Also, based on Shingo Yamashita saying that his part of the storyboard was only 4 frames [post #206021], I would imagine Kameda got the same degree of freedom.
