Kishi taking the idea of an underdog defying limitations too far. The whole point of Naruto was the underdog defying destiny, he wanted to prove to Konoha that people's roots were shit (Neji, Sasuke, Naruto) but somehow in the latest arcs it's explained that Naruto is the descendant of a god and his destiny was always to become Hokage. I mean what should have just capped at Sage Mode or 9T Chakra Mode, getting free powerups sucks. The amount of crap that Kishi inserts to advance the plot is not cool.

The sheer amount of "final" villains in the war, going from Obito, to Madara, to Black Zetsu, to Kaguya. Not every powerful figure in history has to be a villain for Naruto to defeat, especially if they're not fleshed out properly; it just makes a fight boring because Naruto is known for showcasing flashbacks and giving some sentimental value to villains in the hopes of some sympathy for them. Obito lost the girl he loved. Pretty extreme, but ok. Madara believes battle is inescapable. At least he has his reasons. Kaguya's a bitch who can't share. Wtf.
