Outside of Sasuke and Naruto. The rest are better than fodder, but with so many strong ninja now in the story, they seem so insignificant by comparison. The only one who might be of use to Naruto is Shikamaru because of his brain. They got a lot of the focus of Part 1. You felt we would see a lot of them in Part 2. Now it's like Kishimoto doesn't even care about them. Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Lee, Tenten, and Sakura didn't even get to fight any of the zombies during the war and show improvement.
Yeah, they'll be stronger in the future, but the manga will be long over by then. I feel like they are just badly overshadowed by the older and more powerful characters now.
