Simply the fact that Naruto had a demon inside him made it a 100% guarantee that he would eventually learn to use that power. Considering that even in PT1 it wrecked havoc in Konoha and required a Hokage to commit suicide to seal it, Naruto was always gonna be god-tier. Sure in Pt2 what was God tier changed, but that doesn't change the fact that Naruto's power was inevitable. The powerups aren't even that bad, it's just that it came way too soon, since Naruto's powercurve just explodes from the 4th war onwards, going from defeating Pain with Sage Mode and some luck (putting him at Sannin level) to KCM (which makes him powerful enough to take on actual tailed beasts) to Kurama mode (powerful enough to defeat 5 biju) to SPSM (Powerful enough to take on gods). How long did that take? Sage mode to Kurama chakra mode was a few weeks at the most. KCM to godmode? 48 hours or so.

Spread that out over a significantly greater time period and it becomes much more reasonable.
