Agree with you on this one, but to be fair to Kishimoto's storytelling, the arc suffered from time constraints, lots of things that had to be shown, and then had to be forced to the side to give room for Madara's backstory, Kabuto's backstory and the all encompassing Kaguya and her descendants.

But someone I'm really disappointed in not seeing truly shine, is literally the Two Lights of Kumogakure. I know Kinkaku singlehandedly devastated the First division, but that was through the tailed-beast mode, which (like Orochimarus' cursed seals) turns every mook into a monster warrior. Seeing what was basically Sannin lvl back in the day, whom the fourth Raikage felt he needed to face, who defeated the second Hokage (and attacked him while the second Raikage and future third Hokage were nearby no less and Tobirama and Hiruzen still fled!), be taken out by Darui and team 10, was disappointing to say the least.
