I like kakashi because he is always so calm and cool and also Tsunade because she is just funny she does like everything a ninja isnt suppose to (drink and gamble) and i also like Itachi because unlike his brother he is cool (sauske is a stuck up arrogant prick in my opinion) hmmm who else oh and gaara after he becomes good

Please spell name's right, it's Sasuke and he isn't the string of bad words you used to describe him, he's just stupid and weak-minded.
For me, Naruto was one of my eagerly awaited for the first ninety or so episodes...but now, it's almost getting ridiculous. I mean come on, almost twenty episodes on fillers? I know they want to show that there was some effort to look for Sasuke, before jumping to Kakashi-Sensei's story, but still...it's just taking too long, that and I was kinda disappointed with the Kimimaro Arc. It was unnecessary for them to spend like two or three episodes on Kiba running from Udon, and Shikamaru's stalemate with Tayuya...oh and don't forget Naruto and his Kage Bunshins (Shadow Clones that have real bodies) just standing around in the early stages of Kyuubi, while Kimimaro dances through and whoops a bunch of them...until Rock Lee and Gaara step in.
Until then, it wasn't very gripping for me...the fight that followed was good and the one between Naruto and Sasuke was excellent, of course they spent one whole episode doing nothing but talking and revisiting scenes we've seen already...my memory's not that bad, I don't need to be reminded of the Uchiha Tragedy every so often -_-
I don't mean to be sounding picky or pointing out some bad points of the series, just that it frustrates me on how they keep hammering on with certain points and dragging out the series.
By all means the series has potential, well it did back in the early days, and it will be hitting the English market soon...I just won't be cheering as loudly. The main theme, as I seem to gather, is 'Being Acknowledged'...everyone in Naruto wants to be acknowledged, even the bad guys. All the major people that Naruto has come up against are people like him and what he could have become - Haku, Gaara, Kimimaro...and maybe Sasuke. Everyone he fought against bore some kind of loneliness, or were shunned for being different like he was.
Basically...I just want the story to progress, I want to get to the really important bits (side-stepping Naruto's unhealthy obsession with Sasuke -_-) These important bits are to do with the 4th Hokage, I'm sure most people by now have figured out that there's a relationship between Naruto and the 4th...my guess is Father and Son. Also, will Naruto ever gain total control of the Kyuubi and do some wicked-ass kinda transformation into the giant fox, without Gamabunta's help. Oh oh and will Hinata end up with Neji? Will Sakura ever get over the infatuation she has with Sasuke...I mean Naruto's the one who stands by her and doesn't run off after being begged not to. Also, it's foreseeable that the Sannin (Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade) will train each of Team 7's members (Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura) and some big battle will take place, similar to the confrontation between the Sannin - Summons included. This is apparent to those who have taken a peek at the manga's, since the early chapters had covers depicting each of the main characters with the Summon of the Sannin they are training under.
I'm sure I have more reasons for the story to progress, but right now we can discuss the points I brought up lol.

Lol, you don't have to call me -san ^_^;; and me being addicted...Bleach is my main addiction, it was on par with Naruto but then Naruto fell down a few notches due to the recent events lol.
Actually I haven't read the manga, just popped in on random chapters ^_^;; so mind telling me about the huge plot jump? And 150 being the 3-year jump o.O oh-my-god! Are they gonna cut out the whole of Kakashi's past?! I mean that was important on Kakashi and the 4th!

Sorry meant ep 155! (got to finish this bug thing off) Well, in the manga after the whole Naruto vs Sasuke thing it goes onto how kakashi got his sharingan and a little more detail on him and the fourth and the squad then thats IT, no filler, nothing. Next we see of Naruto it's 3 years laterand him and Jiraiya have returned to Konoha, I wont say anymore!

Ohh~ I knew the manga plot up to that point...that's what I'm on about when I complain of the long fillers that prolong the story, I want them to hurry up and show Kakashi's story and then the get to the three-year jump >.<

the fillers are there for one specific reason!
The mangas are produce twice weekly, the series' takes 6 months each to make (and two - three chapters per episode), so by the time they have finished one episode, the manga is a story arc ahead, so they add fillers to try not to break continuity and fleash out other charachters like Shino and neji etc...
