Naruto teaches very valuable lessons that you can apply to your every day life.
The story is so very captivating and it evokes so much emotion from the readers. That is why I honestly think Naruto is the next Dragon Ball Z and that it even surpassed it in terms of a quality story line. This is evident due to the number of Naruto fans brought together on this site and even various other sites.

I never 'almost cried' to a fictional story in my life and have never been so drawn to the characters.
Naruto is what made me a nerd lol.
What about you?

Same here ;)
But DBZ only had emotional scene during Goku sacrificing himself to save Gohan and others against exploding cell. Other than that there were only battles.

Naruto has indeed surpassed DBZ in terms of story, but it's hard to beat DBZ when it comes to action :D

I like Naruto and One Piece more, so i agree.

Naruto is great U_U

Is Kishi one of the best?Yes.

However in terms of character development he's still has some work to do.

DBZ was really only just about action packed fights and power levels. Naruto does have the better developed story line, but it is truly difficult to compete with DBZ in action.

Oda Eiichiro- One Piece
Masashi Kishimoto- Naruto
Akira Toriyama- Dragon ball

These are the three best Mangaka. One Piece is better in my opinion and I relate to the situations on it better and admittedly it has definitely made me cry a few times. I enjoy Naruto, but its a bit too naive for me to say i learned life lessons from it

You can tell he's a manga fan himself and that he changes things that make other mangas bad

I totally agree with the OP, Naruto for me is indeed the next DBZ. I knew it the day I first watched it.

Exactly, and that's a very good quality of a mangaka or any executive developer (which is how the PS4 outsold the XB1 at launch) lol.
