Instead of pulling it back in the next generation they decide to amp it up with a clan of inter-dimensonal ninja aliens that are supposed to be as strong or stronger then Kaguya. That's stupid there is no point to any shinobi even trying anymore. The only ones that matter are destined ones aka main characters. It's infuriating. We don't know anything about whether these interpretations are correct.

Also, crazy powerscaling was a thing from the start. Need i remind people that Orochimaru could give genin the power to beat Jonin easily? The Curse Seal already was a huge power boost, and a guy with a single borrowed sharingan was already a famous Jonin. Ridiculous power for very little effort has been a thing in the Series from the start, from Haku who could control her Ice KKG as a little child to someone like Gaara who had literally the entire village fear him with Jonin unable to control him. Regular ninja weren't worth shit against him too.

Sure the power levels have scaled, but the actual relation in power hasn't. Those blessed with power have been extremely powerful from the start. And i would argue that the series even in Part 1, was very much a deconstruction of "hard work pays off" since it was also established that talent + hard work beats plain hard work.
