Well, no. If I remember Deidara's words correctly, they were "this jinchuruki is nothing special...rather, its kakashi who is the problem." or something very close, meaning deidara though nothing of naruto's jutsu, tactics, whatever. I wasn't impressed either. That he until he got hit in the mouth and displayed his jinchuruki characteristics. The most interesting things Naruto's done so far that didn't involve the demon were stopping that old woman's attack on kakashi (the old sand woman who died in the previous arc) and that game of bunshins he was playing with kakashi during the second "get the bell" test.
