Are the characters becoming too powerful?

[abs10004]

I remember something somewhat similar happening to Bleach during the big battle with Aizen (I dont know how many of you followed Bleach) where everyone was overly powerful and the battles were not as interesting to watch as prior ones and it all ended abruptly.
My favorite naruto fights include Naruto v pein, Sasuke v Itachi, Sasuke v Deidara, and Kakazu & Hidan v Shika and Asuma + company. All those fights were like chess matches, dynamic or included some intelligent plan of attack. I feel now, especially lately that there has been a lack of creativity and in depth fights due to the power-ups of the characters.
One glaring character is Sasuke when he fights the kages and Danzo. He no longer feels the need to block attacks or fight with a plan. He recklessly unleashes his "trump card". Moreover, now that Naruto has access to the fox chakra, more or less hes doing the same thing by going for the big finish right off the bat.
Some might argue that those are minor battles and there are great ones taking place such as Gaara and Oonoki vs Muu and the other Kage, but does anyone else feel that the characters are becoming too powerful causing the fights to be not as interesting and end much quicker than the other fights I have labeled my favorite?

yes i think kishi is losing his creative touch. I mean seiously rubber ball jutsu and water bullet jutsu.... I couldve thought of a better jutsu than that

then go make your own show, dont bash on kishi. using lava to make a bubble is creative, just like the rest of the show

The series is nearing its end. Of course the main characters and opponents are going to be the strongest.

I know they are going to be the strongest, but do you think that because they are becoming so powerful it is taking away from the fights, making them less dramatic, dynamic and interesting to watch? Sasuke no longer fights intelligently (the deidara fight for instance) and with a plan. The past few encounters all he has done is really is use susanno and varying forms of amateratsu.
