In One Piece, there are main driving goals, like dreams. Naruto's is hard work. When Naruto turned out to be ninja Jesus compared to the plucky underdog in Part 1 and had a direct line to a Hokage (Which brings up why was he such a pariah if his dad single-handily stopted the Rock Village), and two distant ones, while Rock Lee, who was even more of a underdog, never won one goddamn fight ever, you could tell it took a nosedive it will never recover from.

Add in killing off the main villain so anti-climacticly *twice*, Sasuke going from a whiny, but not entierly unjustified loner to "I KILL EVERYONE EVER, DARKNESS DARKNESS DARKNESS!!!", infamous amounts of unfair treatment towards women in general, and Naruto's sole aresenal being about 2,039 variations of the Rasengan, among other gaffs, yeah it fell. Hard.
