Actually, Gon is a lot like a Naruto character, done right. He wasn't better than his "peers". His attributes were.Killua could beat him for the longest, Hisoka can probably still beat him, and not to take away anything from Gon, but he really made it as far as he did in large part because of the alliances he formed. Really, the chuunin exam in Naruto was a straight, complete, and unadulterated rip off of the hunter exam in HxH. Bleach is a shit series. As bad as Naruto is, I cannot stand bleach. I stopped watching in the save Rukia arc the second he beat that eyepatch guy. THAT made no sense. Goku is the only character you mentioned that was from a good anime that met the criteria for a shounen main character you listed. And even then, the reasons were apparent. He's from an alien race of warriors.
