Goku is a dumbass and a shit father so I'd say Naruto.

Naruto growing up to be what he is now retroactively ruined the whole series.

Naruto because his personality grew with him.

Dragon quest 5

Berserk

Naruto's adulthood has been...Difficult. For better or worse.

Naruto grew up
Goku grew up a little bit then ended up as a retarded manchild in Super.

Dragon Ball didn't try the next generation shit and just showed how a grown up Goku deals with the world so it gets the shout

So is Naruto

But it did, as for why it stopped trying we'll probably never get a definitive answer, but it did.
Certainly did it better than 'And here are 12 pallet swapped clones of the previous gen and 2-3 randos to fill in the spots taken up by previous gen marriage, oh and they're """stronger""" despite literally zero visual indication of this fact.'

Less so, since at least he became Hokage.

I can't speak to his fatherhood skills.

I wouldn't really call Gohan a "next generation" character

you didn't

>oh and they're """stronger""" despite literally zero visual indication of this fact.'
Not only is Goten literally just a Goku clone, but both him and Trunks are/were in fact much stronger than their parents individually (each of them are on par with Perfect Cell, and Gotenks is comparable to Ultimate Gohan) could achieve SS1 basically by nature.

>Dragon Ball didn't try the next generation shit
It did but it fell flat on it's face so Toriyama got Goku back as soon as possible

Forgot to say
>stronger than their parents individually (excluding SS2/SS3 Goku/Bejita)

Dude they are barely first appearance trunks tier before the time chamber and maybe cell jr tier after.
Dabura SS2 Gohan and Perfect cell are in the same power tier.

ss1 trunks and goten are definitely not stronger than dabura.
before the time chamber they had trouble fighting a18 and she's weaker than imperfect cell.

Naruto certainly isn't dumb by Shippuuden, he's fairly self aware and rather smart socially.
The real reason why he neglects Boruto is because deep down, Naruto doesn't really give a shit about Hinata or his own kids, he wanted Sakura as his wife and the mother of his children.

Atleast Naruto has a job and supports his family.
