I did manage to get through Naruto but I do think that it is genuinely one of the...easier shounens to get into. That still took me like three months to get through, and I feel like something is missing now I don't have a ridiculously long shounen manga tab up all the time. '_'
I would say that the anime is good enough at what it does: condescend the main story of the game into twenty-six episodes. I imagine there are moments that would be hard to follow without prior game knowledge and some of the battles are uh, anti-climatic due to obviously being rushed, but on the other hand there are some scenes that translated really well. If you don't have access to the game, then the anime is the best substitute for it.
If you have the patience for it though, I am pretty sure there's a few loooong LPs of it on Youtube. I haven't taken a real look at many of them yet and can't offer recommendations, but that too is an option and it'll give you the sidequests as well.
