The authors probably realized that they had made Naruto too strong during the war and thus had to nerf him consequently in order to keep him at reasonable levels.

Just think it logically... a much more experienced 4th World War Naruto would most definitely reduce Jigen into a puddle of piss and shit in a minute or less... that wouldn't be too engaging to watch now, would it?

The stakes have to be kept higher and thus ex-God tier characters like Naruto are made to struggle. When you have Naruto doing ridiculous crap like deflecting 5 TBBs with nothing but a body flicker, but have him struggling against someone he really shouldn't....that is poor writing. And how is Naruto wanked, at least here, when nothing but actual on-panel/on-screen feats were brought up?

Purposedly nerfing the character in order to add tension or "make things reasonable" is also poor writing. Either don't make a character so strong or don't let them get so involved in the story. A good writer knows that.

Blatant inconsistencies and arbitrarily weakening characters "to keep the story interesting" are example of poor writing. You can enjoy it, no one is saying you can't, but poor writing is poor writing
