Flashbacks are almost always tied into something emotionally or historically happening in the present plot and I genuinely enjoy getting to see back into the past of certain characters. The only "flashback arc" I genuinely hated was Kabuto's (but I'm bias because I despise Kabuto with a passion). The point is, they're important.

Dialogue is also important, because, other than the information it gives us, character interaction, especially in Naruto, is very, very important. I know, Naruto is a shonen series so action is valued, at least among the fans, more than an actual coherent plot (I mean, just look at Bleach. No plot anywhere to be seen all year) but I like how Kishi is able to balance the two to make the story more enjoyable.

I agree with you TTF. It's what makes Naruto different from any other series. :D (yeah, Bleach is just boring nowadays)
