Naruto Characters that Should Have Gotten More Screen Time
This went well with my RWBY one and I decided to do one for Naruto. Lots of characters in Naruto get pushed off to the side more than they should. Sometimes you wish these characters replaced the main characters. Now to avoid hate from the rabid fanbase of Naruto, these are just my opinions. You're free to add in your own. I'll leave ten suggestions and the rest is up to you.
Kurenai Yūhi is one of the supporting characters of the Naruto and Boruto universe. She is a jōnin-level kunoichi from Konohagakure. She is also the leader of Team Kurenai, which consists of: Hinata Hyūga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru. They could've done so many things with her Genjutsu, and her abilities, she has so much swag it pains me to know they threw it away
Didn't they have a ninja interview on Kurenai in one of the Naruto Shippuden shorts?
Shisui Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Deidara is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles. Deidara is my favorite character. Courtesy of fillers, I got more scenes with him in the anime than in the manga, for which I am grateful. Since I find him to be such an outstanding character, I would have appreciated even more scenes with him.
Kimimaro is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Giving him a separate slot from the Sound Four. His relationship with Jugo was a nice contrast to how his clan normally acted and his overall character was something that could have made up for an interesting story arc.
Temari is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Temari's one of the few female characters I think that didn't get screwed over. She was sassy and brave. Best female character in Naruto.
Iruka Umino is one of the main supporting characters in the Naruto series. He is a chūnin-level shinobi of Konohagakure who serves primarily as an instructor at the Academy. I was torn between Temari and Iruka, but Iruka really DID deserve more screentime. Once the initial arc was over, he basically got that filler arc with Mizuki and that was about it. I loved this guy and he needed more love overall
What did he do aside of scolding people?
Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Shino Aburame is one of the main supporting characters in the Naruto anime/manga series and the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime/manga series. Such a cool character, he was OP in first Naruto and still good in early Shippuden. Such a wasted
character.
Hashirama Senju is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He was a legendary shinobi who led the Senju clan prior to and after forming Konohagakure with his rival, Madara Uchiha. After the founding of Konoha, he became the First Hokage.
Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara) was the legendary leader of the Uchiha clan. He founded Konohagakure alongside his rival, Hashirama Senju, with the intention of beginning an era of peace. When the two couldn't agree on how to achieve that peace, they fought for control of the village, a conflict which ended in Madara's death.
Kakuzu is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Tayuya is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Tenten is one of the main supporting characters in the Naruto anime/manga series and the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime/manga series.
Hinata Hyuga is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Yes, yes, yes! She deserved more. A very interesting character!
