Yes, when Naruto battles, it's boring due to his very limited arsenal of techniques. The only time it gets interesting is when he does something "strategic" or rather unpredictable, like making 3rd Raikage pierce himself or the sexy reverse harem no jutsu against Kaguya.

All in all, the show should have been called Sasuke. Him vs Orochimaru, Deidara, Itachi, Kabuto etc. are some of the most awesome and memorable battles in the series.
