As boring as it was it was a necessary chapter. Although when Kishimoto wants to demonstrate what was the point it usually fails to some degree. If the point here is that the ninja alliance is the greatest thing and that Naruto believes in his friends and allies then it will fail in the next chapters because soon enough they'll simply fail. And then it will be Naruto alone who can save their asses, but then the point of having the alliance coming to rescue him comes down to the fact that they could earn a few minutes for Naruto to recover to full strenght again and also to show that Naruto learned the lesson Itachi was teaching him and has matured during this war too. And it's even made obvious by Madara's comments how weak the alliance is, and the reader easily believes a guy who single handedly destroyed part of the alliance with only one of his massive jutsu (the double-meteor) and was playing around with the kages, then showing off his final susano just to be interrupted before he would do anything and then out of pride finished off the kages even without using his complete susano. And that's only Madara, then there's the 10-tails and Tobito too. But despite all this i really liked to see this ultimate team effort, because as much as Kishimoto likes to talk about how important team work is there were only a few cases when there was real teamwork. Of course as usual the teamwork will fail and in the end it will be a battle of super-powered individuals
What i didn't like is how they just know about Obito's secret 5 minute limit. But that can easily be repaired by later adding that Konan did send some origami bird to Konoha with what she knows about Tobi in case she is defeated.
