Why was Part 1 so much better than Part 2?

That's not true. You already have people sending water dragons at each other by Zabuza fight, dolls, magic eyes, and control, giant snakes and toads in Chuunin exam... I think ninjas in Japanese pop culture are just different than in Western one.

I thought Togashi was forced to end YYH? That's why Three Kings Saga feels so rushed?

He really didn’t need to get much stronger. He was already top tier.

Most jonin couldn’t defeat him

Most interesting characters were introduced and developed in part 2 so no its not so much better.
I loved the obito plot twist and finally knowing Kakashi's past was good.
Pain is a great villain, we got to know more about itachi and the Akatsuki.
Sakura became less shitty and Naruto became less annoying and stopped being used for fart jokes.
The fights were Kino.
Garaa character development was great.
Hinata developed also and knew how to overcome her anxiety and be open more about her feelings.
Maybe that arguable but I thought Sasuke development was handled well and realistically, because no normal human being will just turn back good after all the shit he has been through.

Shouldn't started with Obito. Invalidated your whole post.

this, also why most people dropped Naruto either at Shippuden or even earlier, like right after the Chuunin exams and the Hokage/Orochimaru battle.

Part 1 plagiarized Hunter x Hunter. Togashi being on hiatus meant that Kishimoto had no more material to rip off from, resulting in quality drop.

Part 1's tone with part 2's characters would be kino.

lmao, explain why you think that..

This, sasuke needed to be flashier and more impressive than the two so Sasuke can catch up and not look like the underdog sonce Naruto was always a more powerful ninja. Sasuke as the rival had nothing on a half demon powered superhuman so they added more mystic eye hax and better ninja skill to fight a ninja who if written at his best would literally power bomb him to oblivion.
