Effort beats genetics alone, but effort + genetics beats just effort. Um no, Naruto beat Haku and near the end of Part 1 Sasuke got green with envy over Naruto's development. The fact is Kishi completely forgot what made Naruto so attractive in the first place and mutated the theme of overcoming the odds to achieve dreams to all this reincarnation/prophecy/destiny BS.
