I thought that the manga was good until after the Pain arc (where one editor left), but seeing that even that editor was an influential idiot makes me dislike the manga up to the Pain arc as well. Why disliking the manga just for some editorial involvement, it´s not like all the other mangakas have complete control over their own series 24/7 without outside influences. At the end of the day the editor´s job is to keep his/her mangaka ongoing(by giving suggestion and advice on the writing), but even if many aspects of Kishimoto series came from his editors ideas he still was the one in charge of developing said ideas through the whole plot.
