Of course its gonna drag.. the series went on for years/hundreds of chapters! I physically cannot give it any less than a 10/10 because, not only did I grow up reading/watching Naruto, but its probably the only 700 chapter series that I’ll ever finish again haha that being said.. the story is definitely not perfect. Pretty much all of the female characters were written to be useless and the pacing is absolute shit since they were trying to milk this for as long as possible. I still feel like it was wrapped up pretty well compared to some other manga/anime of equivalent length. I absolutely loved reading about the history of the Senju/Uchiha clan. I know people hate his character, but I feel like Sasuke is the most unfortunate character in the entire series.. Anyways, I thank Kishimoto for a fun childhood. On to Boruto I guess.. 😅

Grew up alongside Naruto, despite it's shortcomings and dragging on towards mid-end it is still the quintessential manga of my generation

Story: 6/10
Art: 7/10
Characters: 8/10
Quality Polish Edition: 7/10
Enjoyment: 10/10
Overall: 7.6/10

It's iconic for a good reason, but that also makes it generic quite often. If you don't like the typical anime shounen power of friendship stuff it's not for you, but otherwise it's very good.

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



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



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.



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



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:

I will be short.
A lot of things could be said of this manga. I still remember watching Naruto anime as a kid, even though I don't really like the Shippuden LOL
People say it gets worse, I think it's just different by the end than at the beginning. The main points are not the same.
I agree that Sasuke and Naruto's conflict was dragged too long, and from my perspective, their fight should have been more epic and long... it was not enough for me. The 4th war arc seemed really long while reading it when we had to wait until next chapter, but if you reread it now that you don't have to stop in the middle... It almost feels like it's short hahaha
Naruto has changed a lot throught the years, but each part of the manga has its charms for me.
At first is more comical and the main point was Naruto trying to obtain the recognition of te village... and also the Kakashi team. Those two things were the middle of everything.
Then we get throught Akatsuki and Sasuke's conflict. I really liked it, because it was more emotional and intense.
When we get to the end, topics like war, peace and hate come around. At it was interesting too. Different.
It's possible that you like more the beginning, or the ending or the middle part... but they are all different and that makes this manga really good for me. You don't get tired of it.
I see a lot of people talking about the couples... I don't think that's the important thing of Naruto ending hahaha pat I will give my point of view:

Its incredible when this was first published how good it was. All the characters were interesting and likable. You wanted to see them do cool ninja stuff, and the world they lived in was so interesting it really didn't matter what was going on. Fast forward 15 years later and this manga has turned into the worst that shounen jump has to offer. Half the characters are going super saiyan with planet destroying moves while the other half are fighting with wooden dolls. Generic war battles spanning across 30+ volumes and the end of the manga is so absurd I don't see how anyone could take it seriously.

I love this manga, but the war took soooooo soooo loooong OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.....And the buddy buddy super positive friends forever no matter what atittude was a bit too much for my taste...

The relationships leave something to be desired.



All in all, this manga was ruined for me by terrible pairings.
