The reason you would consider Naruto's way is naive and unrealistic is because it wouldn't be the fastest way. Of course it's going to take time. Rushing things will only end badly. And slowly but surely Naruto's way is working: the Kage can now meet with relaxed manner and there are marriages between different villagers.

Is Madara past tragic? Yes. Does it justify his actions? Not in slightest. He took the shortsighted route believing that there are nothing but bad things in life when in reality there are good things too. Instead of falling into despair after reading the tablet, Madara could have learned from that, resolving to work together with Hashirama, Tobirama and rest of Konoha for betterment of future generation, not letting one rock to decide his actions, which resulted deaths of innocent people.

Even when Madara didn't know about Zetsufication, he still let power got to his head, falsely believing to be saviour, when in reality he's nothing but solitary warden of people imprisoned within limbo, never capable of receiving warmth of real love and friendship.

Sure, when I was younger, I had these fantasy worlds where I wished I could live in. Thing is, I grew up. I came to understand that life is about balance between good and bad stuff. Having too much of either good or bad will break the balance.
