I've been reading some Dragon Ball Z, and somehow that got super popular even though it's MADE of: 1- cheap human life. Main character dies? just revive him. Multiple main characters die? Just revive them. Entire earth dies? just revive them. 2- power creep. Goku as a kid was inhumanly strong, but in ~50 chapters we already saw someone blow up a moon and since that time, people only became stronger, including Goku training under 3 tiers of gods. 3- Carbon copy characters. Goku's kids 4- Artificial suspense. How many enemies got away purely because the heroes let them? 5- zero moral repercussion? Piccolo wanted to destroy the earth, but once beaten he always helped save the earth. Vegeta gets away with his many murders. Hell, even Goku kills a whole bunch of people yet gets away with it.

So it seems to me that Naruto will survive some changes. It'll survive outgrowing mythology just as Dragon Ball did. It'll survive technology changes just as Dragon Ball did. It'll survive power creep, copy kids, and main character death, just like Dragon Ball.
