Besides the fact that the power levels are all over the place in filler, I actually liked it because the characters showed personality, even though most of it just a repetition of the same old lines cut from canon.

But one could excuse the fact that Naruto beat Hidan and the other kids manage to stand against Nagato, Yahiko and Konan with: "it's actually Tsunade reading a book and she is dreaming about reading the book, meaning fiction inside fiction, inception style" pretty much anything is possible that Tsunade dreams Jiraiya wrote the book to be.
