Is this a deliberate Naruto reference in Ben 10? - Person Inside A Vehicle Pointing On A Map

Best Answer

Apparently there has been a subject of discussion among various videos I "unearthed" wherein they talked about the Naruto reference

So this could just be another case of paying homage to one of the fandoms! :D
