yeah, since the past saga focused on 3 other konoha teams and tons of jounins and even some kages, this one definitely pales in comparison....well......at least....with variety of characters.....but variety of characters make the show more intereting imo.

It'll always be focusing on naruto, always.....but its kinda cool how the main character is in no way the strongest character. Usually this is the case, but here its more like he just gets guided along by more powerful ninjas, and he helps out whenever he can.....which sometimes turns out to be very significant, but if all 3 sannins get involved in a fight, then what would naruto do? seriously?
