If you were Kishimoto, how would you have handled the War arc?

This isn't meant to be a Kishi trashing thread, I'm just asking. I've seen some people complaining about the way that Kishi has handled the War arc, and I do have two or three things I would have done differently, but aside from that, I really like it. What things would you have changed if you were in charge of the War arc?

I would've let Zetsu kill Sakura like a good writer.

And I would've killed off Tsunade, sacrificing herself to keep the other Kages alive and opening up a Hokage seat after the war.

I would of made Sasuke wanted Tuski No ME when he Said I'll delete the past.
Made character power up a little more screen time.
Orochimaru wouldn't come back instead someone else Pro gets too much screen time
Made Tenten use her new weapon way
Made Obito reason for causing the war is because he hates shonobi and wanna change the system and punish the Shonobi
Probably would've continue making Gaara a jinchuriki but irrelevant
Made ten tails WAY prettier

Brought the Juubi back not have it as an angry wolf in it perfect form not a tree.
Removed pointless flashback and show Kabuto fighting Itachi and Sasuke
I would not have made Madara so hax
Brought back edo's that had an actual meaning to people not just foes everyone wanted to defeat

Well, erm.

Seems like you guys are rooting for some major changes.

Honestly, I wouldn't have converted Sasuke to good. I was looking forward to a final battle between him and Naruto, maybe with Sakura actually DOING something this time.

I would have killed off Kakashi with Obito. Sorry about that, but it would kind of be like Sage Naruto's battle with Pain. Pain killed Jiraiya, Obito kills Kakashi, Naruto is sad. Sad Naruto kills Obito, instead of Talk no Jutsu, and the dead STAY DEAD.

And that's pretty much it.

I would have sacrificed Tsunade for the Gokage. I would have Obito the exact same way without him mentioning Rin as much. I'd kill Sakura to motivate both Naruto and maybe Sasuke. I'd kill off another K11 member (Choji, Ino, or Kiba). Madara would not be such a huge fanboy of Hashirama. Wouldn't have wasted so many panels of Minato and his nostalgia. I would have revealed how Hashirama died during his flashbacks, Hiruzen would know that his son was killed by the Akatsuki and has a grandchild on the way in hopes to see some of his feats. The Gokage, Oro and company wouldn't take so long to get to the battlefield, the alliance would be more useful somehow and Naruto would be so far ahead of Sasuke but still enough to make him envious.

Oh, and I'd dedicate more chapters to the divisions during their battles in the war, developing characters as I went along with it instead of so many off-panel defeats.
Not dissing Kishi's work but I would have done things differently.

Neji fights his dad, Neji's death having a purpose, stop skipping fights, stop trolling Akatsuki, give feats to Edo's like Dan, revive more people, give the konoha 11 cool fights, kill Tsunade, Sakura no Yin seal, Anko wakes up when Sasuke and Jugo touch her...

I'd change basically everything.

The fights that were skipped would be shown. We'd see a horrific fight with the swordsmen, including Magnetsu being the last swordsmen standing and using all the swords, the Kages, especially Gaara's a father, a bit more, Kimimaro a lot more, Chiyo, etc... and so on.

Naruto wouldn't have entered the war as early as he did. The first part of the war would focus on Kakashi, Guy, Lee, Neji, etc.. and then the Kages. Also, his clones wouldn't take out anybody as, for example, Gaara/Onoki/Temari would beat the Third Raikage by themselves.

Kimimaro would've recalled Jugo and Jugo may've possibly met him, or atleast considered the idea of that his friend might be revived.

Sasuke would've stayed insane and reckless.

Naruto wouldn't have gotten tons of extra chakra every time he lost some.

More deaths.

Obito would be the same mindset.

I wouldn't have sealed Nagato the way he was. I'd have some other technique take him out. Hell, I'd rather there be no Nagato. I like Pain as Pain.

Sasori wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

More screentime for Kakuzu, Deidara, Dan, as well.

I don't think I would've revived the kages. However, I do love their badass moments.

Basically, I'd make it more of a war.
