>Sasuke attacking the 5 Kage Summit, which is just complete fucking fanfic territory
How?

>the entire pacing going to shit
Current pacing is undercooked trash. Look at these fights. Lee fought for like 10 pages before getting shafted and he basically threw like 5 kicks.
The war is way too long, that's true though. But the current setting isn't good either.

>the battles going from kino tactical showdown to Dragon Ball with headbands
Wrong in a lot of ways. It's true that past a certain point in the war you have Naruto and some opponents throwing nukes which makes you lose the sense of scale but "kino tactical showdown" was almost never a thing in Naruto. Shikamaru's tactics against Tayuya? Fucking trash. Meanwhile the war still has tons of tactics.
