As the question says, what was the biggest missed opportunity in this series?

IMO, I think we could have gone a lot deeper into Fuinjutsu. It was a wasted jutsu category with ridiculous potential behind it.

Plus, it looked pretty damn interesting too.

FuinJutsu waa an Uzumaki Specialty. It died when they all disappeared. Pretty cool to note that Minato used ONLY Fuinjutsu outside of his Rasengan.

Orochimaru. He would've been great for a FV but nope we just had to have alien gods or whatever.

Because Fuinjutsu was the Uzumaki's speciality, it doesn't at all mean they are the only ones who used it.

What I got from part 1, its probably a long procedure and its not used for actual battle. Also, most of the the time it was used with the application of the Space-Time Jutsu (ei Summoning Jutsu), which summon weapons and animals. Its not really much you can do with it, which I assume why it wasn't used very often in the Manga.

Not tapping into the versatility of different Jutsu category that includes Fuijintsu too, instead in the end, we got big chakra balls and that chakra and this energy BS.

I'd have liked to see more variety of Ninjutsu(More elemental jutsus), Genjutsu(more non-sharingan ones), Taijutsu(different arts and styles as in Kung-fu), Fuinjutsu, Kenjutsu(since it's named a jutsu, would be awesome to see different sword styles) and much more...

Shouldn't have taken the power level beyond simple Rinnegan.

Kakashi, Hiruzen, Orochimaru displaying their vast arsenal of jutsu...

That's not Entirely true. Apart from Summoning, it was used for FTG, Byakugou is a Fuuinjutsu, sealing away edos, you could seal away chakra, it was even used to seal away doujutsu (Think Hyuga support branch or Sasuke in jail. Not that he couldn't have broken free of that easily) chibaku Tensei is a form of Fuuinjutsu. Reaper death seal, etc.

There were plenty of uses for it in combat. And the hero being from a clan who specializes in Fuuinjutsu, there could have so many different applications for this that,unfortunately were never realized.

OT: Naruto's elemental Jutsu and Frog Sage Mode. This should have been expanded upon and utilized more often than in just the war. Then just move him straight to Rikido Sage Mode and skip the KCM and Beast mode. That was just really unnecessary and took away from Sage development IMO. And Naruto should have had a variety of wind Jutsu like Danzo displayed.

Also Sakura. Yamato's backstory should have been hers. Sakura should have had medical Jutsu, low to mid level Mokuton due to Orochimaru's experiments, and high level genjutsu by war arc. Then she would have played a more relevant role in helping Naruto keep Kurama under control until he becomes a perfect jinchuriki

The Byakugan. The only exploration it got beyond the basics was a badly explained Tiensegan

The only thing I'm just disappointed about is character development I'm having high hopes though things will get fleshed out better

This right here. Very neglected. :lol

She probably thought it wasn't her business to take something, she thought was nagato's. Maybe if nagato requested to have naruto take his eyes, then sure.

Biggest question of all. Who destroyed Uzumaki Clan and when and how it went ? And to show life of survivors as they are thrown into cold world where they can only trust each other and why they did not go to Konoha if they were such great allies ? Is there some secret Konoha plot ?

The use of less asspulls and big bang attacks beyond Dragon Ball portions. On top of that many fights that we did not get to see:

.Rock Lee vs. Neji

.Sakura vs. Hinata

Meanwhile, a lot of the Konoha 11 should've been killed and their deaths should've been used to push Naruto and the others to fight in their honor and make sure their deaths were not in vain.

I also wanted to see what an Uzumaki and a Uchiha could reproduce. Imagine the Uchiha's Sharingan, Yin Affinity, and Spiritual Energies + Uzumaki's large chakra reserves, Longevity, Strong Body, and Chakra Chains. That kid would've been dangerous.

Well, we almost got it at the end of Gaiden, but Kishi decided to puss out, because the SasuSaku faps would've rioted even though it's retarded enough that they ship this garbage pairing.

Would you really like to see Hinata being wiped off of the face of the earth?

Not stealing Minimoto or whoever's style. I've been using this style for a while now before he came along with his salty tears. If I was stealing his style, I would type like I'm having a stroke like he does in all his threads.

Hinata wouldn't be wiped off. Sakura does not have any combat game. She has no Taijutsu to counter Gentle Fist, especially since Hinata has Rikudo Chakra We've seen that dozens of times. Sakura even got negged by a fodder cloud ninja with a simple kick :th:
