Well, I started watching with Shippuuden (I've known about the series before, but it didn't catch my interest back then) and I was sold when I saw Deidara blow things up for the first time (and heard him say his catch phrase). Later, I've caught up to the manga, and the Chuunin Exams are among my favorite parts to this day.

My favorite moment is Naruto being greeted and congratulated by the villagers after defeating Pain.
