I think that for the general fan this sudden introduction of technology into the universe is too rushed and feels really out of place . For 15 years the story was only about ninja and action seemed to take place long ago . Tehcnology was barely brought up and then it was weird and worked based on chakra I think (daimyo conference ? ) . Now this sudden change and surge of technological devices and modern citie makes the whole thing feel like an AU fanfic and at the same time fails to bring in any new fans .
Edit: Just remembered the walkie talkies from rescue gaara arc . Still , that is very far from ninjutsu imitating devices or whatever those are . It was also not explained at all , it just happened and fans just had to believe it ...
