OK, so we all know the K11 have been reduced to fodder. But in part 1, they had so much potential. Why did Kishi screw that up in part 2? I know he wanted to focus more on the Sasuke/Naruto dynamic--answered my own question, but let's think about something for a while. Let's say something did happen to Sasuke and Naruto... like, I don't know...DEATH! And they weren't revived... who will protect Konoha? Tsunade? Kakashi? Anbu? Tsunade and Kakashi won't be able to hold it down for long. And neither will Gai. So you have the K11 with no growth and no credibility to protect their village on their own. That's a major L for Konoha and Fire Country whose been hailed throughout the story as being the land with the best overall ninjas. I guess Cloud Country is a close second? Anyways, do you see my point? Am I not supposed to think this rationally? Or am I being irrational? What if Sasuke doesn't come back and Naruto leaves as well or just dies? Konoha=Foooked! Without Naruto, Pain/Nagato would have wiped Konoha...Fire Country off the map.
Kishi, you gotta do something with the K11... because as of right now, their useless DBZ fighters (minus Goku and Vegeta, even).
