Can we take a second to appreciate Kishi instead of bash him?

Does anyone remember in part 1 when the fighting focus of the show was primarily taijustsu and simple yet interesting ninjutsu? It was a lot like dragon ball, when the potential of each character was endless but it could go in any direction? Anyway, I remember watching Naruto finally getting down Kage Bunshin and being like "Damn that's sick" and then they show us small snippets of the fight between Hashirama and Madara.



And that was like a whole other level. I remember thinking "how could anyone even come close to that level?"

Then, gradually, We start to see the characters grow and they're abilities begin to skyrocket.

Eventually we are left with this



Holy S@#t... I think people forget how far the characters have come and how well Kishi has developed their strengths. Just try to remember how big of a deal it was when naruto first walked on water....... now look at him.

I think Kishi has done well with this manga. Although there are some factors I would change, Naruto is still my favorite manga and I give Kishi props for it.

Kishi has made a great manga, of course anything man-made will have flaws and people need to understand this, but on the other hand the many positives easily outweigh the negatives, this is plain for everyone to see. The action is fantastic and the themes are very relevant, and although a lot has changed, for the most part this has been for the better.

He did make a very impressive manga. The characters are pretty interesting and the fights are too. The plot is also pretty epic. Between part 1 and part 2 it is hard to say which one is better but I'd go with part 2 just because the scale of epic is doubled.
