My hot take: Nearly every fight got carried by the anime, the choreography in the manga is mid and just ain't fun to look at. (Some exceptions are Rock Lee vs Kimimaro, Naruto vs Sasuke, and Garza vs Rock Lee). Obito vs Kakashi is one of the greatest fights in anime but in the manga it lacks fluidity. Arguably one of the most mediocre fights I’ve see when it comes to choreography. This isn’t a bad fight but nowhere near how good the popular perception of it is. Actual peak fight choreography for a battle shonen is Toriyama not Kishi.

Full fight in the manga btw

Strongly disagree, I'd say the Naruto manga is far greater than it's anime counterpart, there are definitely instances where the anime exceeds it like when Madara fought against the Shinobi alliance but overall Kishimoto was able to convey so much weight and tension into his artstyle.

I’m talking about fight choreography. Naruto vs Sasuke is one of the few great fights in the manga but the anime elevates it

Choreography wise Kishimoto did a great job, just look at fights like Sasuke vs Deidara or Shikamaru vs Hidan. The anime just expanded upon these things but Kishimoto laid the foundation. You're also overlooking that tension and emotion are important elements in fight choreography.

Both those fights are carried by emotion not choreography. They have decent to subpar choreography. Tension and emotion have nothing to do with choreography. Luffy vs Lucci imo 10x worse than Goku vs Cell in terms of fight choreography (not because OP fights are that bad but because DBZ fights are that good) but Luffy vs Lucci is a better fight because of the other factors you listed above. Naruto fights are usually great because of emotion not choreography
