I love a lot of those characters, and Naruto has a good story, but man I wish we could have marinated in the "default/normal" ninja world much more. I liked the arcs that came after the Exams, and we did get some tactical squad goodness with Sasuke Retrieval, but after that the story really feels like it just spirals off into the plot of Naruto saving the world one foe at a time, going from the Akatsuki/Orochimaru, to Obito, then Madara, and finally Kaguya. No DBZ power orbs of destruction, no gundam mech monsters, no fucking talk-to-win, just two shinobi fighting with all their tools to defeat the other, and both of them prized their tact above all else. I think, unironically, one the best fights EVER was Hayate vs Baki in the Shippuden filler. I wanted to learn more about that world and the people who lived in it. That sounds kinda weird, but listening to Ibiki talk about the tough choices Chunnin might have to make, and seeing the teams compete in the Forest of Death and behave like tactical squads was badass. I wish Naruto had spent a lot more time inside the Ninja World instead of in its own story.
