Sorry for the long response, I was out of town.
Finally! Someone who actually READ MY POST before posting.
I collected the entire series, when it was still good. I'm sure I represent only about 10-15% of people here who really bought the book.
I just had a coffee talk with another hardcore collector like myself. He also regret buying Naruto (and also Bleach and Detective Conan, thank God I managed to predict and avoid both from the start).
He said that the main reason why Naruto, sharing popularity with One Piece and Bleach, is because it is so easy to find the scanlation. The story itself, becomes less mattered. But I see some posters has mentioned it.
Anyway, I still beg to differ Naruto for being one of the better shounen manga. It is possible to make an enjoyable "ego-fighting power up" manga, like One Piece, Dragon Ball, Hajime no Ippo, Kotaro Makaritoru! L, Kotaro Makaritoru!, and Ashita no Joe. Those are few samples of great shounen, especially the last two. They are REALLY GOOD!. I advise you to read them as in, now!
Compared to them, Naruto has approximately the quality of garbage. To say Naruto it is good, just because it's a shounen is unreasonable. It is a shame how many shounen mangaka degraded the quality of their work, just to milk more money. Perhaps without the scanslation, Naruto would not get as much popularity, thus Kishimoto would not dragging the Sasuke BS. Ever think of that possibility?
PS: Comparing Naruto to Airgear is like comparing Miley Cyrus to Gita Gutawa.
And I hereby expressed my thank you to BakaSon, who flame me with every insults known to mankind. I printed your message, and it gave me and my friends a very enjoyable laugh which lasted for a decent amount of time. It really shows which one of us who really wasted his life on comic.
Edited for easier read.

Ah, I can sympathize with how you feel. When you start collecting a series, you feel a need to continue collecting even when it spirals downhill because you need to have a complete series. Ah, the agonies of being a collector!

Ahahaha... the awesome smell of a good burn! Completely, agree with you Hajime no Ippo is the same with One Piece it's actually funny! Ashita No Joe is a classic shounen so it should be a must read. Dragon Ball was a good one as well until the anime ruined it. Super Saiyan 4? WTF?? Goku can alraedy destroy a world in super saiyan ss4 is just taking it way too far!!
. Now Naruto keeps upgrading his techniques so they become bigger and bigger and bigger. The manga has degraded into a big Kamehameha free for all.
