Its gotten a bit worse IMHO. Say what you will abotu DBZ, but at least you trained to get strong and it took some time (loads of time skips ^_^).

NARUTO:
-Born with Nine tailed Demon fox -_-
-Learns shadow clones in five seconds with a scroll even though he failed a weaker move COUNTLESS times.
-Thrown of a clif to auto learn summoning
-Uses clone hax to learn a better rasengan
-Uses clone hax AND Oil hax to learn sage mode

SASUKE:
-Born an Uchiha.
-Sharigan awakens agaist Itachi
-Sharigan re-awakens VS haku
-gets Orochimaru hax
-Itachi hands him a godlike dojutsu

Id hoped that the reativly plot device free timeskip would yield a less plot device driven part 2. But nope... Power is handed out on a silver platter.

-SPOILER ALERT-

I lost interest ages ago. I finally stopped reading after Sasuke beat the Hachibi. Even I've got my limits, and I honestly now I can't imagine why I bothered following it for all those years.

I dont know what to feel about Naruto at this point. Kishi had really messed up bad with a few plotholes. But as of recent, I cant help but feel he is fixing it. Im kind of neutral. Its made a good comeback but Kishi has to keep it up.

After the latest chapter...No. However, knowing Kishi's inconsitancy in part 2 it can go downhill a little later. So I'll refrain from voting.

Naruto is still interesting but as you get older as i am, you really don't have much time for naruto. I'm just lucky i have enough time to get on this naruto site.

I'm still young and everything in naruto still amazes me the only time I started to lose interest in it were the filler episodes but some were good and part 2 is totally awsome.

not really either reading the manga, or watching the anime in jap or eng is still going strong for me. Some of the fillers were iffy but they were entertaining. I was kinda getting annoyed by the constant sasuke in yo face stuff but its gotten alot better.

Neeeeeeevvvvveeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I doubt that I ever will lose interest in Naruto! Aside of my other interests in life, Naruto is my life!! Naruto is basically the only manga/anime that I really, really love... thus, I spend most of my free-time being an obsessed Naruto fan!! :lol:

Yes.

I have moved past anger at the series' precipitous decline in quality to a stage of growing apathy. Essentially, I've been so dissapointed that the bar of my expectations for the series is now so low that I simply no longer really care. Even the stupidity of some of Kishimoto's decisions is not worth getting riled up about anymore. Even the fights have ceased to be at all interesting, and with that gone there's simply nothing left, since the main plot events are really rather easy to predict and generally absurd when they aren't (something that is no longer a surprise). I can tell what's going to happen, I neither like nor particularly care about it or those characters (Naruto and Sasuke both are probably the least interesting members of the cast to me). At this point I'm still reading the manga, but without any zest, postive or negative, it's just something that I'll plod through for about five minutes a week (all the time it really takes to download and read a chapter) in the interest of keeping up with it until the end.

No Not at all. Sometimes I get bored, sure, but I still watch the latest episodes and read the latest manga. But it's not like I dont want to get into other anime, but Naruto will still be my favourite.

Yes. I do not even watch the anime anymore, The only reason i keep reading the manga is because i have already started it and it will kill me on the inside slowly if I do not finish it.

I haven't read the manga since chapter 412 (or around there), mainly because I lost my tolerance for weekly manga chapters filled with little content and plot development. However, I do intend to read the manga chapters in one long continuous session sooner or later. I think since I'm on the outside looking in on this issue, I can positively say I don't actually miss Naruto. In fact, sadly, the only contact I have to anything affiliated to Naruto is this site, and even more depressing I've relegated my postings to sections of LN that doesn't involve Naruto (except for this post of course).

In a manga less predictable, I would consider that a spoiler!

Sorry about that, though I'm sure that it won't detract from your reading experience any more than the crappy plot.

Yeah, that gets annoying after it happens over and over. And while he was kinda inspiring for a while with his never give up attitude, and I liked it when I thought he was going to be the nobody who rose to the top, but when I pretty much figured out that he was the fourth's son and then it was confirmed, I lost a lot of respect for him. How did it take so long for me to figure it out with all the obvious hints, you ask? I kinda skipped around to just the fights in the anime before actually reading the manga and watching all the episodes so...

And the whole child of destiny thing kind of sent me over the top. I never liked it and it just seemed like another way to make Naruto special, like he needed ANOTHER way to do that.

Really, at this point I'm sticking around to see how this all ends, who ends up with who, and hopefully which of the two main characters, Naruto or Sasuke, winds up biting the big one at the end. One of 'em damn well better, or I will officially be annoyed.

What would completely turn me off of Naruto: a scene that I am really worried about happening, where Naruto gets killed, either to stop the bad guy or to get the kyuubi drained, and someone does the life resurrection thing like on Gaara, only so that no one dies, everyone gives a bit of chakra and says really sappily "I believe in you, Naruto." The smarmy sappy warm fuzzy feelings would just suffocate any lingering interest I would have at that point.

In summary, yes and no. It's complicated.
