the first chapters suck like most of the manga's but it gets really good(especially in shippuden) though the main character is extremely annoying but lot's of badass characters are introduced pretty soon.

And about not understanding i think you should just reread it, it's really not complicated so early in the story, but perhaps you started with shippuden?
