Forced philosophy is fine. Some writers excel in beating you over the head with their point than being subtle about it. The problem was the shift in content. Ninjas stopped being official paid mercenaries and became guardians and protectors of the Old Republic.

Akatsuki was an illegal mercenary group. Their plan to use the tailed beasts to start wars, then end them thus forcing the villages to depend on them in a slow take over of the world was an awesome idea and far more interesting than using the tailed beasts to just blow up countries to bring short periods of peace.

Everything Madara Uchiha Is.

Instead of using interesting of complex tactics to accomplish their goals, just throw another black flame arrow at it, or punch it to oblivion, I mean Yun-Yuuzhan forbid a shuriken be useful. But now I'm ranting. Not a bad series, but from start to finish, a 3.5 out of 5.
