Just wondering how you guys would've developed the Konoha 11, who were shunned from any character development due to Kishimoto rushing the story. What would you had done? How would you had written them and their character arcs?

Would you do anything differently that would've made them better and have a sense of purpose rather than be Naruto clones? Discuss.

For me, I would make them develop their skills, but I would want to give each of them a short character arc in order to give them that push in order to become memorable. Now, I'm not saying that they're not memorable. I love Lee and the others, but some were just there for the sake of being there.

The push I would want to give them would be to give them an enemy or enemies that would break them all in one arc. I would want them to learn the importance of family and a sense of honor. I would want them to learn how cruel and dark the world could really be.

I want them to go through struggles and choose their own paths that will help them mature, because without struggle there is no progress (Fredrick Douglass)

Shikamaru would be the most interesting one to stretch the plot.

If its hard to develop all of them, Kishi should've killed off some of them along the way, have its effect on others be apparent. Like, have Neji and Choji die in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc and see how it affects Shikamaru and Hinata. I could see a lot of ways on how something like this would play out.

True, Neji should of went ahead and died in the retrieval arc since he had just about no relevancy later. His only feat in part 2 was becoming a jounin in the 2nd chuunin exams while everyone else became chuunin.

I think Kiba, Shino, Akamaru, and TenTen should've died during the war.

Exactly. If you're not gonna do anything with him, might as well give him a worthy death. Besides, imagine if his death motivated HInata to keep training and eventually SHE became a badass herself in Part 2. That would be something...

I think Akamaru could have died, but leave Kiba alive. Something interesting is bound to come of that. Tenten...yeah, probably. Shino too, though I could see him being maimed too, like losing an arm or something to prove the stakes of the battlefield.

Yeah, true. Kiba would be broken if he lost his dog. If only Kishi's editors didn't rush the hell out of him.
