Because the ones with normal pasts aren't interesting.

Also, most of K11 had good pasts, as well as Asuma and Kurenai.

Probs for fillers in anime,

to add extra chapters,

to form some dumb plot,

etc

I think Sakura and most female ninja in the hidden leaf dont have tragic backstories

k11 like
Kiba,Shikamaru,Tenten,Sakura,Ino and even hinata had a good life.

sensei like
Gai and asuma also had a good life i guess.

rest of them pathetic life.
kishi wants 2 show the hardship they or their families have to endure to become shinobi.
besides tragic background is always good for story.:cool:

I'm not a fan of how sob stories are overplayed.

That's why I find myself only feeling sympathy towards people like: Neji, Kisame, Sasori, Lee, Kakashi, Gaara and Bee. (And Nagato)

Their stories are sad but at the same time relatable and we can understand their thoughts completely. Something that lacks from Naruto and Sasuke as you can never guess what they're feeling.

Sai didn't. As a child, he murdered his brother in cold blood and moved on with his life, unlike some.

*cough* Itachi *cough*

Sad childhood = good development

Happy = you are nowhere to be found .

It adds proper development to characters. It makes them less one dimensional.

Sasuke to me had the worst past of them all. Coming home after school to find your entire clan, mom, and dad killed by your older brother who you looked up too, wanted to be like, and loved more than anything in the world. Having to re-live that moment everytime you see him because he put you in a genjutsu where you have no choice but to watch it over and over again. Poor Sasuke

^I agree with this.

OT: For adding character depth, pretty much everyone had their own hardships in life.
Most developed (correction: developed) characters of k12 for example are the ones who had hardhips or strugles:
Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Lee and somewhat Chouji. And no i don't even compare Hinata as far as struggles goes to these guys maybe barring Chouji.

@Bold, she did? I don't think so.

donot know whether it was filler or not but it showed that
hinata's first meeting with naruto.
and hinata's servant/body guard came to rescue her from naruto.(maybe a filler i guess)
still she was like a princess.
other than the fact that she was almost kidnap by cloud ninja and sound ninja.
