The recent power ups have left much to be desired, but they worked better for some than for others. The recent panel time has been mostly devoted to Naruto for good reason. Naruto has been displaying his feats constantly and seems to be overshadowing his subordinates.

I'm not sure why Kishimoto has decided to showcase Naruto's feats almost exclusively in the Madara and now the Kaguya fight. I believe that Kishimoto is "hinting" at one characters "superiority" over the others in the manga by displaying the main character in the way that hes done so far.

The other supporting characters have been made to look almost "helpless" and needing to be "rescued" by Naruto. I know other side characters got power ups, but i have yet to see Kishimoto show anything of significance regarding those power ups. I know Naruto's sidekick is able to switch places with sand, snow, and a shoe but I haven't seen much else.

You are right.

Actually this anime is name after naruto so it's not unexpected that kishi is showing side kick character weaker than main character.
But some people don't get it just because either they have no brain or they are living in fanfic world

Just because narutos powers are being shown does not make sasuke weaker.

Kishimoto used to be much more "sly" with how he displayed Naruto's superiority, but recently he hasn't tried to hide it.

If you're talking about Naruto having more feats in Madara and Kaguya fights... Well, no. Actually, Sasuke was the main man in the Maddy vs Nardo and Sauce fight. Now Naruto's the main, because Sasuke was teleported to Sahara. Stop hating a manga character already, it's really disturbing lol.

It's impossible to hate a manga character. I'm simply giving an objective observation of what the manga author is intending to tell his audience.

lol your sig is not helping you.
But i do agree, naruto seems to be more powerful, even when sasuke was there during the kaguya fight, he didn't do that much. It's not hating it's just stating the obvious.

but during the madara fight sasuke seemed to be doing ok. but still at points naruto showed to be a lot more powerful, like when he destroyed all the Meteors. a feat which sasuke couldn't do instantaneously.

but now sasuke is back I guess we shall see what he is capable of.

It seems that every fan with a objective opinion completely agrees with my observation. The denial that i saw in some responses is surprising since you don't need to look far for the facts because Kishimoto included them in the manga very clearly. I'm still in shock since Kishimoto took all the time to "build up" so many of the minor characters but now we clearly see that he always intended for Naruto to be a God and for everyone else to view him like one. I hope Kishimoto gives a panel or two to the other side characters before the manga ends.
