For those that do not like the chapters as they are now... you must have all REALLY hated the manga during the first half, because it had all of the same themes as now, just for more immature reasons.
The way I see this manga, its about maturity. Not only physically, but also the maturity of beliefs and ideas. And with that comes three important things: 1) The things we take with us from our youth to our mature selves 2) The things that we leave behind in our youth, and 3) The new things that we gain. In regards to those three, Naruto as a manga is full of them, each character in his/her own way demonstrating them. Let's look at our main character Naruto. What he has maintained throughout his life is the desire to become Hokage, the importance of bonds, and his never-give-up attitude. What he has left behind are his overly simplified reasons for doing some things (from wanting to become Hokage just to prove himself, to wanting to be Hokage to protect his precious people) and his hate (beating Dark Naruto, who himself is a representation of Naruto's past grudges) What he has gained is an understanding of the ninja world ("we are ninja, those that must endure") And this is all from just ONE character among the many that we have come to know and love/hate.
Now, I think it is finally time for us to start enjoying the main fight. Madara and Obito are have lost control of the juubi, but they themselves are now free to fun rampant as individual murder machines. You may all yet get to see the 6paths techniques that you have been complaining for. And I also think that Sasuke is on the Uchiha grounds. I don't want to throw any theories around yet, because based on the language that he used to describe the people he is searching for, its not to speak politely. We shall see.
