Continuity mistake: In "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" While Iruka is thinking about what the Hokage said about Naruto, he's in bed without his green vest. When Mizuki pounds on the door, Iruka sits up and he's wearing the vest. But, when he opens his front door, he's not wearing it again.
Naruto Uzumaki: Everyone... everyone... has risked their lives to come after you.
Sasuke Uchiha: Well, how good for them.
Trivia: ANBU members are the equivalent of the secret service. The company ANBU also produce the show along with Anime.
Question: I've noticed this in other Anime, but I see it a lot in Naruto; quite frequently the characters run with their arms straight behind their backs. Is there any reason for this? I spent a little time in Japan but I never saw anyone run this way.

Answer: That is just a style used by some animators. It is easier to keep the arms in one position than to draw them in motion. And it makes it look funnier.
