Figured I could use this little section to explain a few things.
First, in terms of font usage, I intentionally went for something close to what official translations of Kishimoto's other one-shots use with the idea being that it can just hopefully slot in.
Next, I personally went about removing all the ad blurbs and magazine exclusive stuff I could from this for the sake of creating as close of an approximation of an official volume release as possible. My reasoning for this is that, as fun as these little bits are, I do prefer my manga generally to look a little cleaner and since it was possible, I took the initiative.
Finally, I reduced the size tremendously. This not only should help it load on less capable machines but also there was frankly no reason for it to be so high-resolution when all it did was show off the various imperfections within the printing on this fairly cheap magazine paper and also, kind of demonstrates one aspect of manga production I don't think people realize which is that manga is made with the full knowledge that it's not really going to be seen in higher resolutions and that putting them up at these massive sizes really just calls unnecessary attention to imperfections in the artwork they never intended to be seen.
