Naruto, Sakura, and Sai from the Konoha Eleven in Naruto Shippuden
Naruto is an amazing series, but it isn't without its fair share of problems. Naruto's manga debuted in 1999, while its anime premiered in 2002. As time has passed, the expectations of the anime community and the things that shōnen fans want out of franchises and their adaptations have also changed.

Generally speaking, though, Naruto concentrates its power on a small handful of individuals who grow much stronger than anybody else.
