And I'm sure you understand how goofy that is.

If this war is going to be 'real,' it needs less character development and more ninja battle development.
It needs both.

And the closest thing we've had to that so far, was brought to us by Fu and Torune.

Quite true. But unfortunately this is also the last chance for the secondary characters to shine, so that factor does into play. I know most of us want to see some epic battles from them after they've been neglected for so long, but that's most likely a pipe dream.
