You may see people shrug their shoulders in some manga, but they tend to shrug when they don’t like or approve of something.

That was the first thing to come to mind. I suppose my reaction would be to find out how the great thing my family member had done would benefit people, and what they could now do as a result.

Sorry, I don’t understand.
If I read your story and say it’s wonderful, what would you say?
Would you shrug your shoulders? How would you express it?

I would be glad you liked it, of course. Stories are meant to be shared, and have as many different meanings as there are readers of it. Again, my perspective was as a writer of the stories people liked, so it's vastly different from a reader's perspective.

Really!? I didn’t know Naruto was that popular or they still believed there were ninja in Japan. It’s too shocking.

Young people believe in many things being real, until they grow old like I'm doing.

I have seen some signs of Ninja Schools, but they are never like Naruto.
Is it because of Sho Kosugi?

I had to consult Wikipedia to read about Sho Kosugi. It's my opinion that he may not be well-known to Western audiences, much less anime/manga fans.

The only ninja-like anime I remember watching a few times is "Ninja Scroll", so I may not have much experience with actors or directors in that movie genre.
