Not really imo. The whole ninja aspect died when summons and bijuu were introduced, so after the chunin exams stuff became less ninja and more megazord

Not at all. Many fights in part 2 were cookie cutter ninja battles. Hidan and Kakuzu's fights, sasuke vs. diedara, pain vs jiraiya and sasuke vs. itachi were the best fights in the manga because they were all pre-megazord. They were all true blue ninja battles.

Naruto is more of a summoner/warlock mage than a ninja lol. Sasuke is more ninja like.

Didn't say those weren't but as of gaara vs Naruto, which introduced megazord battles, the whole ninja aspect was losing its value

That's subjective.

People just have different taste and opinions, so when 'x' person says that naruto is the best manga is because he/she loves it a lot while 'y' person says that berserker manga is the best manga out there. Being able to share your opinions with others, isn't that beautiful?

What do you know about ninja? If they can summon beasts then they can.

Yet notice everyone puts blame on Naruto not being ninjas when they use nukes and megazords; it all started in part one.

Again who really knows what ninja are capable? It's Folklore.

Yeah it's. Although some people tend to downplay Naruto's ninja theme when megazords and nukes are used. I was just saying when it started, the use of megazords.

Naruto has gone downhill for me. I will check out the new spinoff once it's completed/animated but for now I really don't care about the series. There's so many better series out there IMO. Is it the best ninja based series? No idea but Naruto lost the strategic battle element a long time ago.

Naruto is the most popular manga/anime WORLDWIDE confirmed by Kishi and Oda in their interview.
And imo it IS te best manga/anime!
Who cares if it's popular worldwide?
