And I do agree that things went a little downhill at some point. Things aren't as genuine. Yes, I dropped the series a LONG time ago. But when I really started watching it, I was in 6th grade. And even though I've never made any friends through it. ( Heck, all of my friend hate anime. They're all very preppy and.. Well you get the picture. They're not into that kind of stuff.) Even though I haven't made many friends through it, like you, it has taught me many lessons. It touched me in so many ways. Moments of my life remind me of Naruto because sometimes I remind myself of Naruto. His character really inspired me. Although my range of friends wasn't as prominent while watching it, I didn't know that I was learning so much. So many things I would use later. Naruto inspired me with his sincerity, his courage, and faith. And I think I've taken some of those traits from him and I've DEFINITELY used them in life. The show strengthened my friendships mostly, but also mostly gave me a different way to look at life. And what I hate is when people pair Naruto and Sasuke up because I really understamd Naruto's chasing of him. Because he loves him and always will. Want an example? Well... Recently, one of my best friend's boyfriends attempted suicide and feigned death. Later, he revealed the death part to be fake. But ever since the day, no one has been able to contact her. No one knows where she is. Its like she went completely missing off the face of the earth. Every attempt has been made to contact her. (Except barging into her house really.) Most people have given up hope. My other friend told me to give up finding her. She literally said to me "What can you do that everyone else can't? Your just a teenage girl!" But as soon as that was said to me, I knew it was up to me to prove her wrong. Its been weeks. But it doesn't make a difference to me. I'm going to search and search until I find her. Even if the last thing she did to me was hurt me. I will love her all the same. Another example? Me and another friend. We are complete opposites. We hurt eachother and make eachother cry. At one point she realized that we were too different. It was a day that I had made her cry all day. Before that, we had been ignoring eachother for a month. Hating eachother. But she had came and humbly apologized to me for everything. I admired her so much for it because... It was something I could've never done. I was too prideful. I knew were supposed to stay together though. She said "no. We suck together. We fight and disagree all the time." But I knew. I knew all the good things trump the bad. I loved her too much to leave her for all those bad things. And that's exactly what I said to her. After that we cried and cried and made up. It had been SO long. But I felt like our relationship was the strongest force in the universe right there. (Well, except for God.) I felt to refreshed and strong. And after all that ruckus, I had time to think. Our relationship really reminded me of Naruto and Sasuke's. At least at the beginning.. Hmm well I stopped watching it a while after Shippuden started. But I felt like we just recreated a happy ending for Naruto and Sasuke. (: That actually happened quite recently.. So despite my yaoifangirlness, I can't look at their relationship like THAT. Because I understand it. Wow, sorry that was so long. I decided against editing anything though because everything I wrote came straight from my heart and without a second thought. I think I'll keep it that way. (: I know exactly what you mean. And I do agree that things went a little downhill at some point. Things aren’t as genuine. Yes, I dropped the series a LONG time ago.

The first two story arcs in the manga were great (and I liked the Chuunin Exam aswell) but then it all went downhill when I realised the story was focusing on Sasuke instead. I never found him interesting one bit. Just the cliche lone wolf with a moody personality. But even in the early episodes there were some great elements that kept my interest. Over the years I gave up because it seems all the naruto forums I came across weren't very tolerating of people's opinions., and the manga really started getting boring. Nothing much happened, and when it did it didn't have the same impact as, say, the death of Zabuza. From what I've read of the new stuff Naruto has changed alot in terms of character (ie more boring) which is a shame. I see him now and don't think of that obnoxious, likeabe brat, but a strong ninja who looks out for his friends (where's his personality gone?). Ah well, thats my two cents. I still look back on the early stories with fond memories. I hear you.

Indeed the filler episodes sfter the Sasuke fight were annoying but now they are over . I am also a big Naruto fan foar almost 2 years and I still arent bored by the show (indeed it hasnt have the same impact on me like the first days when i ve just read everithing about Naruto watched a lot of amvs and trying to emulate Naruto games on my pc just to have the chance to play characters from the show). My advice is to watch Shippuuden and to read the manga . Naruto isnt going that bad and the manga it s better than before.
