>Had one series that was massively successful and spawned a wave of low quality imitators
>Made a sequel that takes place after the original that is objectively worse and also ruins the legacy of several beloved characters, but younger generations pretend is way better because it appeals to their zoomer faggotry
Checks out, actually.

I guarantee, Kishimoto's original idea for Naruto would've been MUCH better than his editor's Ninjas-in-name-only shit.

Contrarian take. No Sasuke (therefore, no Sasuke retrieval), no Chunin exams, no land of Waves? That's literally everything that made the series.

>No Sasuke
He can still be one of the humans Naruto befriends. He could be his Prillin (Piccolo+Krillin) and Gaara his Vegeta.
>no land of Waves
Zabuza can still be one of the mercs hired by Gato as word of the Demon Fox spreads throughout the underworld.
>no Chunin exams
I'm sure at least one of the hidden yokai villages has their own annual tournie.
