There was indeed
Remember the chuunin exam ? It was so awesome. Every fight was interesting and everything was explained. Even Naruto Shippuden in the beginning had a promising premise, you'd think that after 2 years Naruto would have developed emotionally as well but no, he just wants to remain dumb.
Now even the chakra is all over and mountains and lava come out of nowhere.
Just wtf?
Yes and the female charachters are the worst. The only good one was obviously Tsunade. Others just suck. They are either after a guy or well, they basically dont contribute to the main story..
