Hmm thats a good point, maybe it's the same for me. While I don't dislike part 2 I really think that part 1 was a lot better.

HUGE SPOILERS IN SPOILER TAGS PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE MANGA TILL THE LATEST CHAPTER

My prob is that in part 1 the battles where really important and really cool and was about 50% why I liked Naruto. In part 2 next to the

Spoiler:

Sakura/Chiyo vs Sasori

battle all the other battles where pretty medicore. While longer battles are draggy, but that doesn't have to bad.

Spoiler:

How Akatsuki is dying is just way 2 easy. I mean they are really strong and if you look who those guys killed(like the first Hokage). I fail to see how a kamikaze attack can kill em so easy. While Shikamaru is cool and stuff I just can't understand that his shadow binding jutsu is strong enough to hold down Akatsuki members. Basically the balance in strength is all messed you can really see that with Sasuke in the latest chapters.

I also feel a lack of flow. Everything feels so random.

Spoiler:

You would think one of the sanin would be the best trainer for Naruto, but no after 2,5 years of training he needs more by Kakashi no less who can do a Rasegnan a skill he shouldn't be able to do just like that. Sai also isn't a cool addition to the tream same with that wood guy. The characters that where introduced in part 1 where just so much cooler. Azuma's death was also pointless.

After my rant I noticed I really liked part 1 a whole lot more. O_o More then I first realized. =o
