I love Naruto so much, and I just keep loving him more. I want to give him a big hug and a bowl of ramen... actually, I want to do that for a lot of characters in the series.
Team 7 is definitely a (dysfunctional) family, which is one of the big themes of the series: found families and biological families, the love between them and the way that love can be screwed up.
The Forest of Death cracks me up too. I don't think the other kiddie ninjas really registered with me until the post-Forest of Death sequence, but it's interesting to re-read the earlier sections in terms of what you learn about them later.
PS. I just finished another Naruto fic. But it is hugely, hugely, enormously spoilery for events occurring in volume 30, so you can't read it yet. Sorry.
