Perhaps its the ups and downs you experience with various activities over an extended period of time.
but the series seems to be at a stand still at the moment, and I'm not sure if it is because I'm waiting for something in particular to end, so that the series can continue without such things in the air, or what. I'm not sure.
nope.....i still look forward to new chapters

Bored has never been the way to describe the negative feelings I've had towards Naruto. Maybe if I had watched the fillers in the anime, but no. Frustration is more like it. Naruto the main character was once my favorite and was developing nicely, up until after the gaara fight. Afterwards, every time he would go into action, I'd be filled with hope and aniticipation, but be left dissappointed by the end. Right now Naruto himself is the single most disappointing character I can recall, but I'm a forgiving person. I'm still giving the series a shot because its being hinted that Naruto has developed along the lines of what the first 80 episodes made me expect. I don't care so much about the other characters, but if I did, every last one of them would be less of a disappointment and less frustrating to watch. But dissapointment and frustration are not feelings experienced by one who's bored. So no, not bored with it.

yes, even the manga is extremely boring. it seems like it's just being strung out to make more money now..
I agree with Assertn, but that might be because I only recently got into the manga because of how the anime is going with the filler bullshit. I like reading the new chapters. I hate having to be careful in the Naruto section, though.

well i think naruto will develope more, because of sai and sasuke, im looking forward to some really cool chapter, but that will take a while i guess
to me, the manga lately have been lacking in the twists/"oooh" department. for some reason, i'm not all THAT intrigued by the root faction in konoha.. yet. we'll see though. i've invested so much time into this manga now so quitting would be retarded at this point.
I'm with folf on this most recent arc.
Mostly it bores down to Sai. Honestly, I couldn't be arsed about someone name Sai or who he is, what he does, and who his brother is.
I would have preferred Kishimoto continually build on the existing characters (the old genin teams).
Roots organisation somewhat interest me though, I don't mind hearing more about the 'darker' side of the Konoha. But Sai, I just hope Kishimoto kills him off soon.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
Hopefully this arc will pick up soon, it sure has been dragging ass for the past few chapters.

Sometimes I don't undrestand you guys.
When Kishimoto takes his time to develop characters via making them interact with each other or takes a few weeks to build up plot then the manga is slow and boring.
When we have long fights in which most panels are people kicking or dodging then its dragged out and boring.
So what, should the manga be a compilation of three-chapter long fights one after another?
I'm liking this arc. Sure, it hasn't offered any plot twists so far but it introduced three new characters, all a little bit more interesting than the ones we've seen lately. As it was discussed in another thread this could at the very least bring some plotical tension to the plot and perhaps treason at some time or other... but new characters means there are many elements to introduce to the plot, new mechanics to explore, etc.
Of course its frustrating when you have to wait an entire week, but at least for me it's not boring... I'm enjoying the manga's pace, or at least I enjoyed the past few chapters. It should pick up soon anyway, I don't think they'll be able to meet with the messenger and not fight him at least a little.
Naruto will never be boring! It's one of the best animes ever. Being about ninjas also gives it bonus points.
I always get excited when Naruto or Sasuke fights. Other characters are interesting as well, but mainly Naruto and Sasuke because it's cool when Naruto goes berserk with kyuubi and Sasuke uses his Sharingan.
Even with the fillers right now, they are ok for the most part, but I don't completely hate them.
Naruto is filled with humorous and getting serious elements which makes it fun to watch.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the main problem is that we only get one chapter a week; you get your tiny little fix, you get annoyed because it's over so quickly for another week and you bitch about how things are 'too dragged out' or what have you. If we had every chapter right now I'd say 90% of the complaints would disappear.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
that's probably a good point. i remember reading parts of the sakura/sasori fight in bulk and thinking, "hey, you know what? this fight's not that bad" mainly b/c i was reading 3 or 4 chapters in a row w/o that one-week wait-o-torture.Originally posted by: Winged Dancer

but i still stand by my current position on the manga from my previous post. and i'm in the habit now of downloading 3 or 4 naruto chapters at a time. which is why i've practically stopped posting in the naruto boards here in gotwoot.
No way, the anime show fillers are what bore me and seeing last weeks one, now thats a FILLER of fillers. Pure Crap it was. I can't wait until the anime gets back on track. But no, I ain't bored of Naruto's manga, I like reading it and suprisingly no matter how boring it was, I still look forward to the next chapter.

Best way to keep any manga from getting boring is to wait until an entire volume is released or until you have a stock pile of chapters to read. In my opinion most manga's seem to drag more reading one chapter a week then reading alot of chapters back to back.
if you wait a few weeks to read chapters by the tens, you just end up missing out on all the discussions, which IMO are funner than reading the manga.
It goes up and down for me and lately its down. Not cause the story is taking time to build up,it just that the new characters arent anything special I dont even think about Naruto anymore,i download it when i see it in baka-updates manga trying to download other mangas.
The last great chapter was when the fight beteween Naruto and Sasuke ended.
wow, an entire topic dedicated to bitching about naruto, it's ought to be fun...
anyway, though i've been saying this almost since i've joined the forum three years ago, i think the series is going down..
now, it might be that during the time since i've started reading naruto (one of my first mangas) up to this day my standarts have changed, but i still enjoy (to somewhat level) the earlier parts of the manga, but so far, it seems that it has become so cliched,,,
we've seen all the genin teams (not genins) appearing exactly in the same structure as we left them, only older. some people might say that he is reintroducing old charecters, and i agree, but that's all he's done, just gave them a reason to power up so they could gang up on some 'run-of-the-mill' mini-boss and clear the way for naruto to fight. we haven't seen a single real change in them. it isn't progress, it's a standstill.
as for the new charecters, as much as i like yamato, i know that as a charecter, he completly stinks, just a meat bag with no real flavour to support him. and lets not even start talking about Sai, last time saying penis was funny was when i graduated from elementry school.. besides, a charecter with no real personna? been there, done that, the whole bisho-fucks trend should have ended with Haku, give me a charecter with real attachments to life, not some pussy who cries about his missing brother/mother/heart/feelings/facial expression...
oh, crap, no matter how much I try to explain, mere descripetions cannot compare to saying something as simple as :"I've grown fucking tired of Naruto, I don't really take much intrest in it anymore"
