But kishi has constantly hyped up the uchiha, and constantly shows that konoha (and most nations) praise their prodigies. Kishi isn't intentionally 'hammering' down sasuke he is just demonstrating themes of his manga through him.
Itachi once told Naruto that when you obtain power you become arrogant and shun other peoples help, just like Madara did. He then went on to say people that do this are doomed to fail. Sasuke did just that and in fact Kishi has been building Sasuke as madara's foil for awhile now. Sasuke gained power in his eyes, but it came at a cost. He basically threw strategy out the window and started spamming sharingan techniques to no end. His over reliance and arrogance is what has got him into his current predicament - not kishi intentionally picking on Sasuke because he was gifted.
Still can't believe Kishi managed to literally kill Neji, a branch family member, with a branch. Thats some serious irony there....
Very true, I agree that Kishi is trying to demonstrate concepts through the story, but I do not understand the concepts or maybe it is a bit too obvious and shallow for me to accept it. It was just how people explained when Sasuke first obtained MS that he would just spam his techniques, but I don't see why having such techniques should result in early termination. Obviously his character has not developed enough to understand his limits and own shortcomings, and that the powers granted alone will not win the battle. But that's exactly like I said: Kishi turned Sasuke into that stereotype and he obviously doesn't like it so he let him get One-Paneled but he had to get to that point anyway as was depicted in an OVA along time ago.
