Okay, back on topic:

I think Kaguya is not fit.

Sure, she does bring a lot of power, but hmpf - it's Naruto. Kishi pulls one OP ability after another, so there is no meaning to "power" anymore, imo. What's still there and always was is determination. And motives. The whole Naruto series deals with human emotions and the influences of love and hate and such dualities. This was always there, right from chapter 1.

Now, look at Madara. He, being an Uchiha, is described as having the deepest emotions possible. It started with love and turned into utter hatred and rejection. Being one of two founders of the present Ninja WORLD - that's true, Konoha is pretty much the prototype of the current Shinobi systems - he represents the failed, dark side of the Naruto universe. Solving his problems would truly mean overcoming pain and lead to peace. Screw Kishi for disposing of him this way. If anyone, only Sasuke is a competition for the title of a villain, but seriously, what impact does Sasuke have on the Ninja world? Next to none. He's only as important as Naruto considers him. Well, until now.

What exactly does Kaguya bring to the table? Basically, she appeared from another land, so she surely doesn't feel the pain of this world as Madara, for example. Remember Pain's words? Know Pain! Kishi completely destroyed the message behind Nagato/Pain with Kaguya. Then, how did she deal with the world? She didn't come up with a plan to solve the problems, like the original Madara before leaving Konoha did. She just took the biggest hammer available, the Shinju fruit, and smashed the world to pieces, which she also took control over. See, that's the old power-hungry-villain-story we know from every other story. Naruto always kept in mind because so far, the villains weren't purely evil, but just had twisted solutions to the problematic of the Naruto universe.

How will it turn out? Will Team Seven now overpower Kaguya and everything will be fine because the Shinju will be gone? So the solution to power-hungry beings is more power? Is everything good after Kaguya, the source of all evil, is gone? Does that mean you have to kill beings for the greater good? Isn't this was Naruto tried to change? And what about Sasuke? How can he possibly be a more tormented character than Madara, or more powerful than Kaguya? Hell, he doesn't even know love to beings outside of family, like Obito did!

Well, if Kishi doesn't come up with a hell of a background story for Kaguya (which he thankfully hinted in the Hago panel), he crashed more than 360 chapters into the wall with bringing Kaguya back. My three cents, enjoy! (^.^)
