I have a hard time taking early Naruto seriously because it's straight up plagiarizing the 1999 Hunter x Hunter anime. Not just general concepts, but tons of visual motifs that only showed up together in that show.
Hunter x Hunter went dark in a very gritty way without taking it too far. When you look at Naruto as a derivative of that, it doesn't seem dark anymore, it just seems edgy.
