Point 1: The best part of Sauske was his drive to avenge his clan. Besides Naruto's hokage dream it was the only other motive that really left an imprint on me.

Now that he's actually confronting his brother...it kind of seems rushed...i'm really not interested in what happens to sauske after his brother dies so sauske hismelf...whether he lives or dies it's basically the end of his character
Point 2: I really liked how Naruto was befor the time skip. Given he was weaker than he is now I was more intreged in his room for growth and not the then of the road itself. I liked naruto because he allways overcame obsicals. Now Naruto just seems like a demon on a leesh thats about to snap. In other Words Naruto is the equivilant to SSJ 4.
Point 3: Alot of the action scenes are getting repetative. Garra vs. Rock Lee and Naruto vs. Sauske were both ands down 2 of the best action sequences i've ever read or scene.

Sauske Vs. Itachi...seems to be exaclly like Garra vs. Naruto. In the sense that they faught on a small scale....then brought out the monsters. Can anyone say Power Rangers?.
Final Point: In the beggining alot of the jutsu used sort of kinda made sense. Recently as a reader it's kinda of...wtf. It was clearly explained and made sense in the begining and now it's kind of like being pulled out of toilet. It just seems to be very far fetched now. Like wat is the point to what element your chakra is if you can still do any sort of justu outside of the element of your chakra if your good enough.
Thats like in college when you need credits and your taking hard classes when you could take easy electives that give you the same outcome. I don't hate Naruto...i'm just really becoming disapointed with the direction it's headed...if you've actually read this...or read some of this respond and let me hear your thoughts...maybe i might get intruged in the manga again if some one makes a good point
