It takes a while to really get into its motions. The better parts are the end of the mission in the land of the waves, small parts of the chunin exams, namely the two tournament style combats, the follow up to the tournament, which is a spoiler and the land of teas is pretty boring comparatively, but the last arc is definitely great as well, which comes after the land of tea. That all ends at episode 136, and then you just find 80 episodes of fillers. Which is why Dragonheart skipped to Shippuden after that. Naruto has its up and downs, the training and things get really boring and slow, but the fights are original and interesting to watch.

Naruto ends up being a lot more when you add up all the points, since in spite of them feeling pointless they all end up having an importance or purpose. The training times get a little long, but otherwise they have a purpose. So it is up to you. I find Inuyasha a little more enjoyable at times, but Naruto has a strange charm to it.
