By what i've seen many people claim this and that character are only bosses due to handed powerups. But there´s a clear difference for me in what is a free power up and one which is well deserved.
Free or handed powerup: a power up that is given to the character without any effort, training, time in exchange, basically another character comes in and hands the power.
Deserved powerup: a powerup which is the product of the work of the person, it could either be by training or some other method.
Now if we take the definition of free powerups some of the ones i would qualify as free are kurama, senjutsu of the six paths and 9 tail beast chakra for naruto; sharingan for kakashi; curse mark, itachi´s eyes and rinnegan for sasuke; izuna's eyes for madara, wood style for obito, yamato and danzo; rinnegan for nagato; because basically someone came up and gave them such power.
And some of the ones i would qualify as well deserved powerups are madara and his hashi cells since he had to fight to death with hashirama to get those cells therefore it required an effort from him; obito and the rinnegan as he also engaged in a battle to death with konan; kabuto and all the genes(oro, sound 5, suigetsu) he injected in his body since he did a research for years therefore spent a lot of time and effort in such research etc.
To sum all up i think that´s the difference between a free powerup and deserved powerup, for me even though the mains are the strongest due to free powerups some side characters have actually more credit because they got there on their own effort.
