Ya see' its like your typical heroes journey (monomyth[link]) fiction book, but with a shiny cover, and it focuses on a setting that isn't often mainstream with easy-to-identify-with characters. VERY much like Harry Potter, the Matrix, Chronicles of Narnia, Wizard of Oz, and just about every other popular shonen manga in existence (dragon ball, one piece,fma etc). It is the execution, the story and character archetypes already exist, its all execution.

Naruto does have those typical elements of the Hero's Journey, yes--if you simplify it down to its bare bones. You could say the same with any shonen manga.
However, I say that Naruto is a typical shonen cliche story because it follows the archetypes and elements that were established before.
Take Fuuma no Kojirou, [link] which has the typical annoyingly chipper longshot hero along with his indifferent rival and the nice love interest--or Flame of Recca [link] which is pretty much the exact same thing. Both of these came before Naruto (FnK was in the eighties in Shonen Jump, while FoR was in the nineties in Shonen Sunday.) I haven't read FnK yet, but since the artist did Saint Seiya, it should be pretty good. FoR was OK. The artwork wasn't the greatest, but it pretty much set the groundwork for Naruto. FoR was competing with Yu Yu Hakusho when it was serialized, so some elements are similar to that as well. orz.

Maybe now once globalization starts kicking into high gear, we'll finally get to see our Superman VS Goku dream match at Jump Festa/Comic Con?
