When the series started i really enjoyed it, i loved the first part of naruto, especially the Chunin exams and Sasuke retrieval arc. The second part was for the most part pretty good, though not at the same level anymore. Problems were already starting at the beginning when the writer: Masashi Kishimoto started ignoring almost all his characters to focus on the main team which consists of Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura, which btw isnt a smart move since all the main characters aint likeable at all, but the side characters are. He started ignoring the entire Hyuuga clan and gave insane boosts to the rival dojutsu clan: the Uchiha clan. Then in the final arc the writer made stupid decision after stupid decision. ***SPOILERS**** After Sasuke started becoming a goodguy for some stupid reason after naruto ran after him for the entire series, and the new main villain only keeps on crying it got worse and worse. The entire war people got bullshit powerups and as always everyone besides our main team suddenly couldnt do anything besides stare at the main guys.******/spoilers The main problem overall is focusing on the worst characters of the series while he has such awesome characters in it.
