i felt the emptyness went away after the zabuza/haku saga.. never felt quite the same after that... there were times were i didn't really anticipate a naruto eps anymore sadly...

the story is fine. if not, better than the previous storylines.
some sad episodes will probably come later, but definitely Haku's saga was pretty deep and touching.
so 3 freidns (Choji, Neji, Kiba) gettting killed trying to save a team mate isn't sad or touching?

first, they aren't dead yet.
second, who the heck wants to save Sasuke? They are wasting their lives meaninglessly
third, Haku's saga was much cooler, cuz Haku is a badass (Neji is too, but I don't believe he will die)
not really... not as as sad as haku saga.
i agree that hes definitely wussing out on us. perhaps something good is coming up
what you think just, im sorry to say this but it sucks. if they made the story that way i would stop reading... i think its fine as it is no need to complain about it.
ok, haku saga is the deepest so far. there is no doubt about that.
as for sasgay, he is no longer cool, but a whiny little biach.
he has always been a whiny little biatch except when he fought Orochimaru.
you cant tell me that these fights wont be the coolest thing ever when animated?
just imagine this arc animated and then be happy.
Naruto is an action anime mainly so this arc is appealing to that.
Shika also has several emotional speachs during this arc but if you just skim over it like its nothing then of course you're going to get nothing out of it.
the fact is that people have GROWN since the Zabuza arc, you cant expect them to be the same the whole series.

actually the fight I'm really looking forward to, is the Naruto v. Gaara fight, that was badass.
I was thinking that too, but Gaara's childhood past at least revisited some of those deep plots, especially Naruto's sympathy for gaara and his lonely childhood. Almost nearly made me shed a tear reading it

I really don't care for this last arc (I rather call it saga) in the story.Its being dragged out too much.It has had its good points,but Kishimoto just seems to be slapping things toghether to get a chapter out.

I agree with that, it is getting repetitive.
3 people that should be never be heard/seen from again:
hinata - wuss
gaara - talks about his personal problems too much
shino - doesn't talk
You are right Kakashi, I also think the Wave Country episodes/chapters were the best, not only because of Haku/Zabuza, but the teamwork between Sasuke and Naruto while first fighting Zabuza and later when they fought Haku in the Ice Mirror thing. And as you said, the story about the Hero of the Wave Country was really touching.
You also mentioned some scenes that you also thought was quite good, and I want to add one, It's when Shino fought Zaku during the Chunin Exam, and we had a chance to see about Zaku's past, I really loved that moment, the music were great and it were really touching/sad.
Hmm...I always thought the "Neji's bird in the cage stuff" were really deep.
Edit: But yeah the whole Wave Country arc was cool becaused they worked together, we haven't really seen much teamwork since then.
i agree with insomniac

if you're saying that this arc is drawn out then you wait till Naruto vs Gaara gets animated, prepare for 8+ episodes of JUST this fight.
the sound nins fighting will be the highlight of action in Naruto, although it may seem 'boring' to some because its not seemingly to go anywhere storywise there are links of friendship being forged and the team starting to trust each other.
in terms of animated fights this arc will definately be one of the best for anime watchers, we as manga readers expect deep storyline in each chapter and when that doesnt happen we start comparing the arc to the rest of the series?
i say enjoy it for what it is, not what it isnt.
personally i thought that if they ended naruto at zabuza saga it might have been oerfect.
so does anyone wanna think of an alternative ending which might occur after zabuza saga??
