You seem to think the fights is what determine everything. Your opinion is pretty flawed.
Its not just fights that I'm talking about. Literally I'm talking everything about Part 1 >>>>>>>> Part 2 about the story plot, the suspense, the villains, Konoha 11 gets bast majority of screen time and epic character developments, the World building learning about the villages and the clans, and all the fighting tactical and more realistically.
But now Shippuden went down from the drain. Now it's all about Uchiha and the Senju pretty much dominated the entire series and completely fodderize everyone except if you're Uchiha, Uzamaki, and Senju and some of the Kages.
Naruto characterization is ruined since it's all about chasing Sasuke. All the rookies 11 gets neglected throughout the entire series with the only exception of ShikaChoIno.
Now lately, Shippuden is gotten way worse by adding TNJ and Flashback no jutsu with so much repetitive Naruto backstory and Rin Flash back. Naruto getting all the wanking.
Naruto & Sasuke powerup is so god damn crusty as fack, we've seen this so many times, which completely makes everyone useless as if only Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, Hashirama, and Tobirama are the only relevant right now.
Currently, this arc doesn't feel like real war, there's no hype for this series no more. Everyone gets pick me up moment, with another annoying Tnj to foreshadow Stall no jutsu to foreshadow Plot No Jutsu to Foreshadow stall no Jutsu to forshadow TNJ.
