Kishimoto hated the Chuunin Exam arc.
As an epic saga defined by its complex world and intriguing characters, Naruto has a lot of different arcs, each dedicated to telling its own story. While the arcs vary in terms of reception, there are quite a few that are universally well-regarded, including the Chuunin Exams, which features a tournament pitting a host of young shinobi against each other, and proved to be fundamental for putting Naruto on the road to success.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Masashi Kishimoto, the genius behind Naruto, could have never anticipated the success of the Chuunin Exams arc, as revealed in an interview summarized here. That is because, even though this arc played a vital role in establishing the foundations of the series, it was in fact a story that he himself never intended to tell, only doing so because he gave in to the persuasions of his editors.
Although Kishimoto never intended to write one, even he admitted that the series picked up popularity thanks to its tournament arc, and there's a very good reason for that. Tournament arcs, which by now are a staple in every major shōnen action anime, make for a great opportunity to introduce or re-establish the identities and power levels of different characters, as well as the relationships between them - especially those of rivalry.
Tournament Arcs Are A Great Way To Establish Characters Of course, it also helps that Kishimoto, in spite of his apprehension, managed to create not just an ordinary arc, but one of the best tournament arcs ever. It is difficult to assess what the series would have turned out like, had he chosen a different way to introduce each ninja team. While he would surely be able to make anything work, given his talent and dedication, perhaps his editorial team was indeed right to make this choice.
