I don't know about Naruto being more interesting, though. Naruto's entire conflict in the first half of the series is within himself. He was the boy with the Nine tails inside him, the kid that everyone hated in the village. It's the whole reason he was an underdog. I think conflict goes a long way in making a character interesting, and in this case it does.
