I find a bit of humor in all the crap Kishi just loaded up on the Uchiha and the Sharingan in the second half. Kyuubi lost too much of his revereance once Kishi made him out to be something that can be used as a tool by anyone with strong enough eyes and batted around by a wood monster even with a freaking sussanoo. That means he would have gotten wrecked without it. Honestly though, Kishi was so inconstant with these powers in the franchise that it's not even funny.

Around the time of the teamwork/bells lesson for Team 7, very early on, Kakashi was of the opinion that three genins with solid teamwork could take out a jonin. Didn't take long for that theory to be swept under the rug with all of the power-ups distributed by the end of the Fourth War. Otherwise we could have believed three Kage would stand a chance against a God-like Ninja.

Instead?

At that point in the series, a battlefield stacked with a few thousand ninja (ranging from Chunin to Kage level) from several villages and with dozens of unique jutsus among them were unable to contain one single Uchiha ninja.
