The only people i can see useful from the allience are now are Shikamaru, some advanced earth users like Kitsuchi, 5 kage if they survive, Naruto, Bee, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Gai and maybe Lee.
In the manga they are against obito, madara, and the juubi to clarify in this fight they are useless and if that continues they will only serve to increase the body count.What a selfish statement that was, can u imagine WW2 only fought by hitler and stalin against churchill and nixon only? Maybe it only last for 2 and half hours. You are questioning the significance of gang-fight, war and the element of sacrified souls, if u took it out, that ninja war will have no entertainment.
I expected some cool suiton-doton techs from allience to counter Madara's katon; but noooo Naruto did save them again; Kakashi and Sakura did not dodge the kunais; Naruto's chakra helped them. When the allience first came up; i thought "finally; the main character is not a shinobi-Jesus who overshadows every other ninja"; a few chapters went alright, then Naruto gave everybody the chakra; but still people used the skills Naruto do not have like mind-body transfer, advanced taijutsu, shadow binding etc; but the latest chapter i was like "wtf!!!"; they can not even dodge or shield that shizz; it was annoying; it was like allience was Naruto's b*tches to make him feel happy without actually not contributing to anything.With the exception of lee I didn't really count these people as the alliance because they were the ones who were originally fighting, the alliance are the people who came later.
Actually, in the latest chapter I feel that rather than another friendship speech what naruto was saying was more like a pep talk to the alliance saying "no! you guys aren't holding me back even though I'm draining all my chakra trying to save you guys its okay just you standing there makes me stronger"
