I miss Naruto being the underdog and surprising everyone with his actions. It's not new anymore and at his most powerful (Kyubi) he went 1 on 1 with Orochimaru so I don't see how the series can go from now on unless they introduce new bad guys who are even stronger. Those will just bring higher levels of Kyubi transformation with it. Having to bring Sasuke back at all costs has always been a bit odd, cause it's just gone too far already. FFS the guy doesn't like you anymore Naruto, bring Sasuke back against his will and he will just hate you in prison still. I still watch it for the awesome moments like Poop said but I think they need to take the show off air instead of stretching out the story and putting filler in at every opportunity if they want more respect fromt he viewers (I bet they don't care)
