The line art here is quite decent, but as BOB said, you've really over worked the AA.
Your shading also seems incomplete. You have a strong lilght source showing on his face and the metal part of his headband, but there is no directional shading on the cloth of the head band, on his ears, hair or mouth.
I think this piece would really benefit from some additional work. I'd take it over to the WIP forum for some detailed critique.
Awesome!...Even though it's not perfect (for example, no dithering), Naruto just rocks, and the shading is beautifully unsmooth. 5/5 + Fav.

I believe you coulda' achieved this effect without so much hardcore, unneeded AA, and more different shades of color. The piece has some good lineart, color potential, and you know the placement of color pretty well(I guess because your following the original characters style). I would still try and freshen this piece up though.
