Judging by the general quality of Naruto after Part 1 and how a lot of early Naruto was seemingly saved by editors, this series not doing well isn't surprising.
Still, might be too early to declare this a flop, even if other series had a good start. Personally I have no interest in the series since I feel like Kishimoto is an incredibly mediocre writer.
