Okay, so I'm going through my Naruto Manga (currently Volume 09), renaming all the files to a suitable naming convention, so that it's all neat and lined up and easy to go through in one swift swoop.
So, I begin reading some of them. And, I notice as I come upon the conclusion of the Hinata v. Neji battle, during the Chuunin preliminaries, that Kurenai's eyes seem identical to those of the Akatsuki Leader.
More than likely, I am wrong. I am looking too far into this. It is sheer coincidence. Maybe the animators ran out of creative designs for pupils. Who knows, right? But, I thought I'd mention it.
I do not have a link to the image I'm talking about, but if you'd browse through your own Naruto Manga collection and check out Volume 09 // Chapter 081 // Page 06, you'll see what I'm talking about.
