So I read this manga when I was like 4th grade or younger. Fell in love with it INSTANTLY. Cried when Naruto cried because of Iruka, even learn how to use Chakra (I was stupid, but since I'm an Asian, I know that Chakra is a real thing, but don't know how to unlock it) to become a ninja.
I hate Sakura the most. GOD! Shut up! Sasuke even won't look or talk to you! Yet, she grows up and become rather good character after
Sasuke left Konoha
At least, I saw a character development in this manga, which is good.
I was not reading the manga, but also watching the anime, and honestly, after Naruto becomes Naruto Shippūden, it became rather bland. Even my mom who usually don't want to watch anime said Naruto was good before Shippūden. But OK, I couldn't judge an anime or a manga just after watching or reading 2-3 episodes/chapters of it. So I pushed myself forward, and dang... I wasted my time just to see
Naruto gaying Sasuke to come back to Konoha
As a typical shounen manga, I don't have any complaints if you want to train till your limit. It's a good shounen manga IF the character is not such a mary sue! Yeah, I mean you Naruto.
All of his descendants have a connection on Hokage, yet people still treat him like a garbage. Huh?? Mary Sue enough?\Even his reincarnation is some kind of God ninja or something
I love Naruto because some of us can relate to him, making jokes and act stupid to cover the loneliness inside. But after so many chapters, I just saw him yelling about their dreams like Luffy from OP every single time. You know? To achieve your dream, you need to work hard and not lazying around while yelling out loud. And I know he will become the
SEVENTH HOKAGE
in the end of the series only after reading few chapters. Because how obsessed Kishimoto with that number. The story is too predictable and the story is there for Naruto can become the God Ninja Lord. The story is kinda rinse and repeat but not as extreme as Bleach. Too many characters, but only one template: emotionless.
The ending suck:
Everyone is married with KIDS now. At least, Hinata got to be with Naruto which is AWESOME. Sakura with Sasuke like HOW?? And for Sasuke substitute, there is Sai for Ino. Wait! Did they EVER talk to each other?? And after Naruto ends, they milk his son, BORUTO into a thing. Sadly Boruto is suck-er than his dad
