a perfect example of Kishi digging himself a hole, and then shooting his leg and falling into it.

Naruto: it's my new move, the shurikan rasengan!
readers: oh, a new rasengan, looks like naruto finally gets a ranged attack that makes him a more balanced fighter.
naruto: it's the most perfect, awesome, never seen before attack! not even the 4th could do this.
readers; ooh, this better be badass.
naruto plays out the new rasengan in the worst possible way, and manages to destroy his only real win in the past two years.
readers: this is just crap. guess we need to wait for another power up montage for naruto to get better, maybe something original that's not a rasengan.
*a year later*
naruto: I've now mastered the perfect rasengan shurikan, believe it or not, but it can hit distanced enemies.
readers: yawn.


with some moderation and planning for the future, it could have been decent, but when everything is 'surpassed' anyone ever before, it's hard to get exited.

where is zetsu in this ordeal? payne's group? madare? a 3rd party mission?
