I don't think it sucks. However, I dislike the war arc intensely, and loathe the current power levels/differences.
As for dead characters - many of the supporting characters (and villains) have had honorable deaths that were handled extremely well. Even if I liked Jiraiya and Asuma, their deaths brought drama to the series, and that's a good thing.
Although I admit, the villains now are pretty lame. We have Sasuke with 0 depth, Madara who can apparently solo five of the strongest shinobi in the world with ease and Tobi who is insecure about his appearance.
People saying "if you don't like it don't watch it" please shut up, I can also send that back to you. Don't like this thread, don't waste your time posting.
Forums are for discussion, if you can't handle that you're at the wrong place.
Also whoever thinks this series will end with a draw between Naruto and Sasuke... please stop being so naïve. Look at what happened between Madara and Hashirama. History is repeating itself, is this not enough proof alone?
hmmm as that may be its not the point im trying to make... not sure about others but atleast it took skills and strategy to defeat there opponent there were ninja like aspects to part 1 naruto series which alot of people enjoyed and watched/read it for ... again part 2 is still good just i feel it was let down a bit by going bit over the top

Also you guys saying that there is no strategy in part 2. Look at the pein arc, kage arc, the flashback of minato, deidara vs sasuke, rescue gaara arc.
Pain arc : Naruto VS Pain mass DBZ bashing until Kishi got bored and killed Pain with a simple rasengan.
Kage arc : I will admit Sasuke vs Danzo was an impressive fight, but the other fights were just ninjutsu bashing
Minato : OP space-time jutsu, then backstabs to kill. That's it.
Deidara vs Sasuke : Again good fight but mostly due to Sasuke.
Save Gaara arc : again, Sasori dying was a plot kill, & the battles with Deidara were just boring to watch, 10 episodes of kakashi charging up mangekyu sharingan...
sasuke has depth, quite possibly the most of the series
if the villain if op, it just brings excitement to the story. if the villain can be beat easily, it just wont be fun
tobi is give the series the suspense it needs.
these things together equal epic
Sasuke has absolutely no depth at all, no matter how you choose to intepret it. He is nothing more than Tobi's own psycho lap dog.
No. An OP villain does not bring excitment. A good villain does, like Haku and Zabuza. And while Tobi is mysterious and all, I personally do not like him being the catalyst of so many events. But that might just be me.

Tobi sucks as a villain
But Zabuza would not be who is now if it was not for Tobi.
Tobi manapulated the Fourth Muzikage. Tobi was the true Muzikage, who was creating the rules which created the monster zabuza.
I don't really like him either. Sure, I want to know who he is...but that's about it.
1 - While that is true, I doubt Kishimoto had even come up with Tobi at that point
2 - That doesn't change the fact that Zabuza and Haku were good villains. Not overpowered, just darn strong and with some motives.
3 - Tobi manipulating the fourth Mizukage is one of the things I don't like about him. He is seemingly behind everything and it bothers me. The fact that he was behind the Nine-tailed Fox attack as well was just ridiculous.
Am I the only one who, by now, only reads the manga because it would be too bad to quit after going through all of it?
And for this precise reason : all the great characters have died. Most of the shinobi left alive for the war are boring, except for a few.
I mean ok, Madara + Tobi, Naruto, Kabuto and the Kages, they may have cool jutsu. But what do they fight for, besides "peace" and "world domination"?
Jiraya, Itachi, Nagato, Konan, the Akatsuki, Orochimaru, Hiruzen, and who else.. most of which died because the plot required them to. They had their individual beliefs and were much less generic than the remaining ones.
We all know that Madara and Tobi will be done by a main-character no jutsu even though they're completely overpowered by now. And we also all know the plot between Naruto and Sasuke will end exactly like Goku and Vegeta in Dragonball Z. This isn't Sasuke Shippuden.
Awwwww poor you naruto sucks now. STFU if you dont like it dont read it, who cares if you liked it before, if its that bad dont read it.
