Is anyone becoming bored with Naruto?

I think this arc should move things along, rather nicely. You said a few fights won't change anything new characters won't change anything, etc. So then what you're looking for is anything that will advance the main story? This should be an arc that does that. They're on a mission to find a spy who should have information about Orochimaru and Akatsuki. Sasuke is with Orochimaru. At the very least, this arc will set up another arc in which Sasuke can be reintroduced. Perhaps we'll also get more information about Akatsuki's goals. This should advance things in the way I think you want them to.

You're right. This arc is necessary, and I think it will be pretty good. I haven't felt like downloading it lately, which isa change, which is probably delaying me picking up more interest Perhaps I'll be more into it in a week or so. It could be I'm just distracted with other things right now.
Bleach is pretty good for what I've seen. I haven't read the mangas. One Piece is a lot of fun. Maybe when I finish watching one piece, I'll go back to Naruto. I should have a good stretch of animes and mangas to enjoy by then. Right now though, I think I'll have a shower and go for a slurpee or something..
