Surpassing Naruto is not impossible but can be said to be near impossible because:

Considering the fact that it will be Sci-Fi series we won't be able to experience anything mythical. Everyone likes mythical stories. In Naruto, most of the techniques and villains were taken were Japanese history. Besides Naruto is one of a kind. No one has ever made ninja's so popular and no one was even familiar with them until Naruto came. So Naruto had us hooked since we didn't have a clue about ninja's at first (at least most of us) but we are already familiar with Sci-Fi since there are already many series on it and we basically have a general idea about it. In Naruto we were completely blank about how ninja's work and use their powers. So that's what made naruto more interesting.

Even so I don't care if it ever surpasses Naruto or not. I am just excited for it to release anyway. Kishimoto always has something different to offer each time.
