What's up NB, been a while since I've had the chance to make a thread. Probably due to me getting banned too much but I'll try and behave better for the mods 
Often we always see complaints about the manga and about how Kishi is forgetting this or maybe he's making some kind of mistakes. There are plenty of times where we NB say what we don't like about the manga... Well not this thread! The thread is as simple as the title, what are five things you really enjoy from the manga. If you can't figure out 5... Well maybe you don't need to be in this thread
But yeah, just say 5 positive things that you have enjoyed from the manga a lot, whether it be from the past, what's currently happening or if it's just something Kishi has done over time. Of course, I have my 5 that'll give you an idea what I'm talking about.
1. Sasuke's character:
2. The Akatsuki
3. Kishi's artwork
4. Parallels
5. Themes
I realize mine was pretty broad so feel free to narrow down on some of the things I mentioned if you liked something special about it or pick your own. Just pick 5 things you really enjoyed in the manga, whether it's a literary aspect, a character, art, maybe a jutsu, an event, a certain bond, whatever! You get the point, say something nice about the manga :yeah: You don't have to go in depth like I did but say what you like and maybe say what you do like it. If you're too lazy to bring a certain page for art, as least describe it! xD

1. Sasuke's character:
Overall, definitely my favorite thing about the manga. Sasuke has had a long path in this manga and the end of that path is still blurry. From a child who wished for nothing but to complete his ambition to a man who wishes to bring a change about the world so that people won't have to suffer like his brother. So people won't try to take over the world like Madara. So people won't have to go through the changes and struggles he's been through in life. He's come a long way from being the selfish, cool kid in part one to someone who will accept help from even someone like Naruto and is now thinking about the bigger picture. He's a dynamic character who is still changing and that is still developing. I can't wait to see how his story ends by the time this manga is over.
2. The Akatsuki
I have just about no complaints when it comes to this group. A group full of individuals with unique powers that wasn't destructively OP. This group was full of people who differed so much yet matched up so well with another. Like Itachi and Kisame: These two seemed nothing alike in personality yet they were both people who had to kill their comrades for what they thought would lead to a better world somehow. Deidara and Sasori with their perspectives of art. Konan and Pain for their goals to bring peace in respect to Yahiko. Kakuzu and Hidan being immortal opposites. My only gripe about this is that they all didn't get a bigger backstory and stick around longer! They're such a nice group together and quite often I forget that this stemmed from the mind of one author Lol
3. Kishi's artwork
I had to bust out some examples for these (
Now I know I didn't give out the best, most incredible pages of the manga but these were just a few that I liked a lot myself. They were also on my laptop already, I was too lazy go browsing through the manga. Feel free to post some good examples of Kishi's great artwork cause IMO, he has a good bit of examples. His art has really grown from part one, much more refined than it was back then. Just shows that as Naruto has been growing, so has Kishi's skill in art.

It's a driving factor in a way for NB, it leads us to make predictions, theories, and even shipping threads Lol. Some say the manga is overdosed on parallels but I don't think it's that bad. I like how Kishi is always able to relate something to another in this manga, with the past and present and just between two characters. My favorite parallel is between Naruto and Obito. Obito is pretty much Naruto on a fallen path and the similarities between the two is astounding, one that you wouldn't consider at all when you first think of Tobi.
Naruto has plenty of great themes. I have to say, Kishi's theme about revenge has really changed my perspective when it comes to revenge. Seeing it as an endless cycle that can get involved so many unnecessary people made me see it as a pointless concept. When it comes to IRL, I never worry about getting even with people anymore and thus, I hardly ever have a problem with anyone. Kishi's themes involving bonds, good/evil, loyalty, etc, are also brilliant. He makes it clear to see what qualifies as good morals and what doesn't.
