Anyone think Kimimaro deserved more screentime/Background?

[FemmeFatale]

kimimaro couldve returned to the mist and become the mizukage, so no i disagree with half the ppl on this threaD

Although he would be pretty strong, he doesn't fit the description of the Mizukage, and his abilities are not really mist like. A once you have a curse mark ( besides Saskue) it's pretty much down kill for you. What was Kimmaru like without it, he probably wouldn't be great enough to be it.

I'd love it, but sadly, more screentime = Gaara and Lee dead OR a drastic change in the plot. Moreover, had he survived (no illness), we wouldn't see much of him either way, since Orochimaru would have taken over his body XDD Sad but true

Every character had too much potential; too bad most of them get trashed apart for the sake of few.
But if he lived; it would mean death for Lee and Gaara; then most people would think "why those guys died instead of a new coming character; they had so much potential!!!"
Also drawing those bones is a hard task and art work.

I believe this, he should have survived. Him and the entire sound five. They were interesting and it would have been cool if they were used against the Akatsuki after the time skip.

omg that would have been epic... Orochimaru's own private akatsuki replica. Geeeeez

I like this ^! He seems like he would see reason after Orochimaru switched sides.

Great character but no, too much development and he could surpass other main characters.

That's good though! ^ Makes him a more powerful addition. Possibly on a jonin level !

If anyone in this Manga needed more screentime it was Sasori. God.. his death was so disappointing.
