The life of a mangaka is a pretty harsh one. They get to sleep like 3-5 hours per day on average, their pitches might be outright rejected by the editors and they even get outside intrusions from the higher-ups telling them not to do this but that. It's common for them to get health problems and, in the case of Kishimoto, have to postpone their honeymoon for a 12 year period.

I know Kishimoto's writing has not always been top notch. Sometimes, it has been quite bad, actually, but knowing how the manga industry works I don't think it's fair to consider any of his work low-effort. He probably would have expanded the story and done things differently if he could, but he couldn't mainly due to Shonen Jump's intrusions but also in large part due to his declining health.
