It wasn't just Naruto dodging the attack, it was Naruto hitting his arm exactly the way he wanted to.

Dodging a straight attack may not be that impressive, sure. But dodging and then striking such a fast moving attack is impressive.

As an example, baseball players can react to and move out of the way of incoming baseballs. But to actually hit them is very difficult. And the baseball players don't even usually have to worry about dodging what they're trying to hit.

The fact that Naruto perfectly hit the Raikage's arm isn't impressive because he dodged the attack. It's impressive because he had enough awareness and perception to see the Third's attack and hit it right where he needed to.
