Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler

Animation Changes

When Naruto takes one last look at Hokage Rock before departing with Jiraiya, the anime adds Tsunade's face beside Minato's. That's inconsistent with the manga — at the end of Part I her face wasn't on the rock yet, and on Naruto's return Naruto specifically points out the new carving as the one change he notices. It's effectively an animation continuity slip.
