If you want, you can find flaws or things that you don't like how they turned out in every single story that has been told so far. Remember one thing: this is not your story, this is Kishimoto's story.

"Obito could have teleported with Kurama after he extracted it out of Kushina, but noooo... he had to try and destroy Konoha. He could have smuggled Naruto out of Konoha while he was still a child, but noooo... he had to wait until Naruto was close to his prime."

"Why did Romeo drink the posion when he could have acted like Obito who took Rin with him and mourned by her side? If he would have done the same, him and Juliet would have lived a happy love story, but noooo.... he had to drink the poison and die, instead of waiting a few minutes."

My point is that everything could have been told in a different way, but hey... this is not our story. That's how the plot developed...

Obito not using all Rinnegan jutsu? Well... maybe he needs the right eye or he needs both eyes for some techniques or maybe he was not proficient enough. After all, who are we comparing him with? Madara and Nagato, who had the Rinnegan for years and was also an Uzumaki with an incredible chakra pool. Now back to Madara not using Rinnegan powers in the battle. First of all, judging by the size of the fights, why would he use the Animal, Human, Asura, Naraka paths? Compared to his level, those were useless techniques. The only one that he could have made more use of, was the repelling jutsu one. Again, let's think... when could have he made use of it? Basically, there is only one short period of time and that's the fight with Naruto and Sasuke, after fighting with Gai. Probably the fight was too fast and the jutsu was not viable. Remember that some jutsu end up useless in some situations.

Obito not using Kamui? What if he couldn't use it? Why does it have to be written in the manga that he can't use it in his 10 tails form? But hey... Madara used Kamui. Well, yes, he did, but Madara had no problems controlling Juubi, while Obito almost lost himself.

Some said that adult characters like Madara should have not been beaten by youngsters like Naruto or Sasuke. This is probably an eastern vs weastern conflict. It is not out of the usual for teenagers to be praised as geniuses in eastern cultures, unlike the western cultures where they are considered worthy of responsabilities at a higher age.

What I am trying to say is that maybe some characters weren't nerfed, it's just that they might have not been able to use some of the jutsu or they wouldn't have made use of it and that's the case of Madara. He used only what he needed from the Rinnegan powers.
