I couldnt stomuck the crappy fillers they resorted too when the anime caught up to the manga At that point I stopped watching the anime, but kept reading manga when new ones came out. Then somewhere down the line, the manga just got worse and worse. So no I dont miss Naruto, Even though I was a huge fan at one point.

I think most of us went through this phase. I remember back in university, I binge watched the hell out of it in first year. I got to the episode when Sasuke first fought Gaara. Then I binge read the manga right up until Shikamaru and the rest went after Sasuke. I was even downloading Raws and using text translations (This was before our current scanning system came into place) to read. Then the manga became terrible and I just stopped caring about it. Even my friend, he used to go to narutomania.com to download the episodes and watch them (Did the same with Bleach) every Thursday. Then Shippuden started and it was garbage. Like I kept up with the manga just to finish the story, but other than a few cool parts in the second half, it was just terrible. So many missed opportunities.
Do I personally miss Naruto? Yes, the first half that was amazing. Hell I still get nostalgic to watch it again. More than that? I wouldn't touch it. I won't watch Shippuden because of how bad the manga got. Maybe if they kept the composer from the first series I might have watched it, since that composer really knew how to play with emotions. But I can't care enough for the second half.
