I suppose that when the characters have become so strong that they can tank a nuke, then a simple shuriken wouldn't do a thing.

And I must disagree with you on Madara. Excluding the Infinite Tsukuyomi and other magic tablet related nonsense, he was a complex, realistic and easy to relate to character in his youth. He and Hashirama represented the philosophy of an eye for an eye versus forgiveness.

And this is a very real moral issue. Do you forgive and befriend those who hurt you and your loved ones so more blood won't be spilled, forgetting the past for a brighter future (but it equals spitting on your dead's grave) or do you honor your dead ones by bringing justice onto your enemies? I don't have an answer myself which is the way to go. But the philosophy should have never extended beyond that into some alien space war sublot.

Currently there's this crazy going on in the manga. Kaguya is essentially the Goddess of Narutoverse, so by fighting her they are actually defying the will of God. I'm not sure if it's supposed to suggest any kind of philosophy though, but it's silly. If I were Kaguya, I'd be pissed too. Makes you wonder who is the bad guys.
