Sorry, too late.
Orochimaru took Sasuke and made him into an uber killing machine.
Jiraya took Naruto and made him into a... slightly less of a failture. and even not by much.

Remember? at the bridge fight. Naruto and Sasuke were about equal (or at least that was we were made to believe) in terms of overall fighting. and they each had to sprout out some maniac power ups to keep fighting.
now, Sasuke can sneak kill everyone, and even illusion sneak kill everyone. while Naruto can finish off an enemy, if the enemy has been weakened by Kakashi and a team of ninjas.
(tell me, since NarutoZ started, did Naruto win a 1on1 fight with anyone? did Naruto win a real fight since fighting Gaara?)

best thing that Kishi could have done, ages ago, was to drop Sasuke out of the picture, to focus around a bit about the Akatsuki, and make Naruto one of the akatsuki ninja apprentecies, rather than making him (and his classmates) the sole defenders of the entire village against the invasion.

then things got botched around by killing off half the akatsuki (Sasori, Deidara, the zombie guys) and making half of them Sharingan related (Kisame-Itachi, Madare).

Actually, I've been re-reading Naruto Z yesterday, and I think the shit hit the fan at the Sasori fight.
it started nice, and went down hill.
giant puppet vs human on string - awesome!
3rd fucking kazekage vs mom & dad as pupets - where did this epic mumbo jumbo come from?
100 dolls vs 10 dolls - that was just confusing to watch...
human puppet vs shonen heart - exactly.

in between - laser shields, Sakura acting like Naruto, and Sasori going from crazy giant to a sissy fuck.

on the good side of Naruto Z, there's Naruto vs Orochimaru. just a plain, good, crazy battle. but then it's ruined by Sasuke over powering the earth.
which was a serious breaking point... blah..
