Naruto Part-1 was more ninja world grounded..

We got know why Ninja's existed in the first place and what they do,how they are raised up and trained from the academy to genin and then chuunin..so on.We got to see the chuunin exams and its various rounds..the attack of Sunagakure or Konoha which brought forth to light why the ninja nations despise each and compete for the feudal lords attention..and it was just beautiful how the Akatsuki was introduced in the turmoil and emerged as a greater future threat.I even loved how Hiruzen played out his part as the Sandaime Hokage of the village and screwed Orochimaru.

All in all,the first part captured the "Ninja world" as it truly was ..and really but when Shippuden started all that focus shifted and became more and more about Jinchurrikis,tailed beasts and big powerful jutsus i.e. the issues became global making and the jutsus became bigger and bigger until we started finding a ninja pulling out a shuriken or kunai to attack seem silly and weak.. Hence,in the end i found part-1 to be a more interesting since it was more closer to ninja system then part -2.

That's just my opinion though.

PS-I am not saying that Shippuden wasn't awesome.It was but i think i liked part-1 more because that's how i was introduced to the series and it had its own unique charm .

part 1 had its own cool points and the power scaling was ok too for Ninjas, imo part 2 was better till the war.....

Ever since the start of War Arc Naruto is basicly about magic and spectacular explosions, not about ninja.

the introduction of the rinnegan and the sage of the six paths demolished part two completely.

Part 2 was crap starting at the war arc.. The battles up to jiraiya vs pain were good actually.. team asuma vs hidan, kakashi with team asuma vs kakuzu and hidan, naruto vs kakuzu, deidara vs sasuke, sasuke vs itachi are good, at least for me.. Then the war arc battles.. I mean, the 7 swordsman didn't even show spectacular techniques... 4th kazekage getting owned lol... And things just got worse at juubi arc... Power-ups here and there...Overall, the part 2 (up to jiraiya vs pain only, or maybe up to naruto vs pain (the animation was a letdown for me)) was great for me

Part 2 was better though simply because the ninja theme in Naruto was always discreet.
