I think the level of excitement in the fights will really pick up once we see some more summoning being worked in; Naruto is basically a novice summoner right now and can't really control it (other than summoning Gamabunta when he's facing death on the rocks below). If Naruto ever gets around to learning how to get a cooler toad, things will be a lot better. Keep in mind you're still watching these ninjas in their beginner levels, there is still much more potential for excitement.
