Oh yes, thank you oh great Enel (One Piece reference 4TW).
I was never big into Naruto, but watched it with my brothers so I just kept going with it. After we stopped watching together, I went to the Manga. I actually didn't mind most of the stuff to the beginning of the war. The last year or two of the series is what really got me tired of it. One villain after another, with it going on for two years straight, was bad. The pacing was awful, and I could not care about anything that happened. I was afraid with the recent events that it was going to stretch on for years, but thankfully not. This means this last part can be decent.
