^ I agree. In the first part we saw how much Jonin is stronger then genins (Kakshi vs Zabuza), and ranking was a big thing back then. But now we have genins who can shoot fire out of their eyes.
About the war I would like to see one on one fights while in background other ninja fights.
The only thing that I found disappointing is Zetsu clones. The whole talk between Naruto and Nagato is how Naruto will face the war and ninja hatred. But how can they face that hatred when they are fighting clones. I would have liked to see ninja vs ninja fights. Where when enemy ninja kills someone their family/friends want stop until they killed him and then the other side will want revenge to, creating the circle of hate. But you will not have this with fighting clones. In the end Naruto was supposed to find the answer to this, and become legendary ninja.
