>90% of the arc is wasted on side characters fighting their designated jobber>literally only the fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the end is good>aside from Shikamaru, none of these characters ever do anything after this arc, so it was a waste of time to even bother including them>gets glazed as the "best arc with the best usage of side characters" despite their involvement amounting to what's essentially paddingThis arc aged like fucking milk
all your average 13 year old anime watcher cares about is dragon installs and named attacks
Only the Chuunin Exams/Konoha Crush and the Tale of Jiraiya are good.
