Is it just me or does Naruto from the Manga and Naruto from the Anime seem like two different people?

In the anime Naruto struggled is whole child hood working hard trying to pass the exam and get people to recongize him ...

In the manga (and anime as well at points... anime has issues imo) hes a complete slacker like shikamaru ... Didnt try at anything until he really had to (learning of kage bushin and Ransegan) which he did in record time...

Which Naruto do you see? I personally see Naruto as the later, in which if he decides to do something he'll get it done...
