I think the reasons why Naruto is popular is because of the same phenomenom that made Dragon ball Z so popular aswell. You got all those characters that get stronger, and stronger, and keep fighting enemies that are stronger. And when you think they've reached the peak of their power, they get even stronger. It's exponential. I don't know, I think people just get fascinated by that for some reason. I like naruto, I think it's a good entertainement for this type of anime. Imo, no anime is inherently better than another, because they are different. If I want to see some direct combats for instance, I'm going to watch something like bleach, not Death note. Compare to something like gundam seed, where the battle scenes are completely different, etc. You can't compare because each anime provides you with a different kind of entertainment.

Besides they twist the image of ninjas so much you don't even know what a ninja is anymore.

The classical version of ninjas and naruto's, both are historically incorrect so it doesn't really matter. They named it like that, but it doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a name.
