After finally seeing his backstory, I think he'd probably be a better fit for the main character.
Granted, I'm still pretty early on in the series, so I may not know what I'm talking about :V

Hope you are using a filler list and skipping all the filler.

The filler is absolutely shit and there's a crap ton of it. But if you skip it all, Naruto is a pretty damn good show.

Part 2: Psych. It's all about genes and Eye powers.

I didn't mind the filler. My issue was the later half of Naruto Ship where 3/4ths of most episodes were fucking flashbacks of previous episodes.

Are you sure those aren't filler? I don't remember it being a particular issue at the point in the series. Though generally the whole show has a bit too much flashback emotional exhibition.

It's even worse when it's a flashback to something that happened in that very same episode.

Shippuden was something that made me drop Naruto. The episodes had very unnatural 'stretching' of scenes. Very little would actually happen in each episode, to the point where a 6 minute abridged version would likely be legitimately superior to the full episode.

Filler, at least at the time, was more of an issue for Bleach IIRC. It tended to be rather formulaic as well, to the point where some folks would insist that Hollow Ichigo should have been the star. A spinoff show would likely have been more interesting.

There was a decent amount of Shippuden that I enjoyed, but by the time the final few arcs came I had abandoned it. Even though it let go of a lot of the notes from the first series that made it great, it still had some good stories to tell.

Filler to me is stuff that doesn't contribute to the main story but is still new content.

I don't mind watching filler. I'll happily watch every episode of Inuyasha(another anime critizied for tons of filler). Just don't make me spend the majority of an episode watching flashbacks of the same scenes you've flashed back to 15 times previously.

Part 1 has really good fights. My favorite fight in the entire series you havent even reached yet. And I dont mean the final fight of part 1 Naruto either.

Shippuden isnt even that bad until later. It just... drops dramatically.

Use a filler list and skip all the none essential filler. Shippuden has some backstory filler that worth watching. Naruto is good if you skip all the filler.

Naruto Kai would really bring the quality up for it. I'd try to rewatch One Piece too if it had a Kai version. As is it just seeming daunting.

Hope you enjoyed it, this is pretty much the character's only moment of glory. He gets constantly overshadowed in favor of Guy for the rest of the story. This series shits all over its side characters to the point where the filler hell was necessary just so they'd get some screentime.

He has at least 1 more cool fight before Shippuden. And honestly I thought that was better than the Gaara vs Lee fight.

Lee wearing weights was an asspull.

And this whole fight was pointless. Why bother hyping up a side character like Lee just for him to lose? We already knew Gaara was a beast. The fight changes nothing in the story.

Kakashi is one of the few 'side' characters who never becomes irrelevant. He remains a major factor for the entire series all the way to the final battle.

A lot of people got pissed off from the outcome of the fight, but I didn't mind it. Just because you work hard doesn't mean you will always win.

The thing I hate the most about Rock Lee is how underwhelming he becomes in Shippuden. Gets the backseat status even though he was well loved in Part 1. Almost all of his love went to Shikamaru.

This is one of the most frustrating aspects of Naruto. There are definitely parts of it that are honestly amazing, but then there is the other 80% of the show.

What did it set up? Lee showing up to save Naruto, only to lose and need to be saved himself by Gaara? Lol, you could remove Lee entirely here and just have Gaara save Naruto. Honestly, Kimimaro himself was unnecessary; the Retrieval arc was trash.
