I respect your opinion but, thank god that Kishi didn't think like you. I have no intention to see fights of filler characters and to hell with their character development. It's the story of Naruto not every Tom, **** and harry ever mentioned in the manga.
We got to see enough of the characters to understand the situation. Zabuza and Haku ended up in the same place after all and Zabuza wasn't happy to be resurrected. He insisted to be stopped then and there- that set the theme of such resurrection. Chhiyo was giving out tips to the allaince whole time. Dan asked for the barrier as soon as he forwarded towards the alliance forces. That's what happens when you force reluctant warrior to do something they don't want to do.
Most of the characters worth anything had their part in the story already told. Some like Hanzo got their closer- Hanzo had lost much respect since we saw him ambushing Yahiko and his friends by deceiving them. We got to see his rise and fall and he redeemed himself when he confronted Mifune. There was nothing more to it.
Those who were expecting some drama like Dan vs Tsunade were heading for the disappointmnt from the start because it was not going to happen. The war is still on and we are getting glimpses of relevant characters part- some bits of INo, some of Sakura, some of Shika, choji and so on.
Those who are waiting a big fight between Raikage and Naruto may end up disappointed too. Sasuke's fight showed his strength already and chances are high that it won't be repeated.
It's time for Shikaku to show his part and I 'm waiting for his solution..

i dont necessarily want development for every person, especially if he's going to die soon. i want character, which is something that e.g. haku, zabuza, lee, kiba, gaara, the sound four, oro and sasuke had. the ones who made it through longer time had even (except oro) character development and their attitude was the result of something shown in the flashback. give me one attitude of ginkaku, one of any swordsman (except zabuza), one of any of the revived kage, one of zetsu. give me a reason why bee is a rapper, why raikage is impatient, why danzo is sneaky and why madara is retarded.
ONly kin Gin brothers dropped out of blue and their purpose is clear... Kishi had to give some expansion to their character as well and he did. It's a matter of opinion. A lot of us are fine the way story is going and really aren't interested in development of irrelevant characters. Dead Kages or ex swordsmen of mist are not important to the world today- knowing they were capable and dangerous is enough.
Don't know what you mean by Kakazu's decision or pain and sasuke in middle of this- probably irrelevant to this thread.
ONe on one fight of each and every character--- OMG the manga would never end if we have to read the death of 40,000 shinobies. U_U
As for critique- it's the only manga he has written till date and we are reading- Critque it when it ends- giving crtique at every paragraph is neither here nor there. Level of writing can be decided as a whole not in pieces.
as i said, i prefer battles with 10 good made characters over fights with 40 characters with only one flashback and no attitude at all over fights with 40000 characters without flashback and space in the manga. if i want to see cool and fancy fights, i can go and watch dragonball again. in naruto, i expect background story, deep characters and development.
the thing with kakazu and so one was a reference to the point that i could discuss about story holes but since i could ignore them, i dont refer them as important enough.
fights dont have to be one on one and as i said the war thing doesnt really support kishi's style. how about the genin team up against an enemy and fighting him for 4-6 mangas including flashbacks and battle scenes of everybody instead of having them run one on one against zetsus 1-2 mangas each? sounds more interesting in my opinion.
writing happens in pieces, so why not giving critique in pieces? possibly one of kishi's editors or whatsoever reads this and the manga is overworked in that direction. that way we would miss the chance to make the manga better if we gave critique when everything is done.
