The latest Naruto art of Kishi's is more realistic, while the early chapters were more stylized, I like both to be honest. One way or another, I think Kishi is much better at drawing than writing.

According to an interview, he hasn't had an editor since Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan, that explains the decline in quality imo. Kishi came up with too detailed world, too many concepts and too many characters to fit in 700 chapters, that's why the war felt like too many things happening all at once and no character development for rarely seen characters. Hell, I thought Konohamaru was Naruto's rival and they would fight for Chunin and Kage titles, but nope, what do I know, Konohamaru is now Naruto son's Jounin sensei.
