This is a what would you have liked to see them be able to do type deal just name the character/s and the stuff.
Shikamaru - should have been able to make multiple strands of his shadows then turn them into bodies to fight with/for him. Not a shadow clone but imagine he stretches his shadows out and at the end is a circle from that circle comes a shape of a body but it'd be completely black like the shadow and for extra fun instead of shuriken these things would just throw little bits of the shadow at the enemy.
Ino - should be able to do mind shut downs even if they're only temporary. That way instead of exiting her body she can just blank out the enemies mind leaving them open.
Choji - should develop a trapping jutsu. It combines his knowledge of doton or the assumption he would have learned it during the skip, and his expansion jutsu. Choji expands his head particularly his mouth and eats his opponent. To ensure they can't just stab his mouth and escape Choji uses his Doton to protect his mouth. Or Choji increases the size of his ears to improve his scouting abilities which no one in his group really has. Choji learns Suiton and uses his Expansion jutsu to store ocean size amounts of water in his stomach that he can use for crazy scaled suiton jutsu.
Lee - should have started carrying around a sake gourd. Think back, Guy has pretty obviously had the gates since the start of the manga just no need to use it till now. Pre skip Lee got drunk and Guy said he was too much for him to handle, of course he didn't want to kill him or hurt him to bad and he could have stopped Lee with force like that but the point is pre skip drunk Lee gave guy a good fight. Imagine now Lee, with 5 or 6 gates or however many he has plus drunk he'd be = or better than 7-8 gate guy without the risk of dying. Then 7 gate drunk Lee at 26-27 years old would destroy.
Sai - new things to draw, draw some weapons and new animals. Learn a jutsu where he can draw an opponent and control them sort of like a voodoo puppet and if he practices it enough it could let him kill an opponent through his drawing it.
Kiba - Akamaru should grow up already, I like the puppy Aka but he'll be ferocious when he's older. Kiba I can't think of anything really but an element and I would say raiton with his spins would let him cut through a lot.
Hinata - I like the water idea but I'll ad doton with it. Hinata should have learned a new jutsu using them where she lures her enemy in range makes 8 palm defense infused with water, then doton's under and out of it and seals the hole, then collapses the 8 palm defense ball she makes. I think that would look cool, kind of like Water Prison that shuts in on the enemy.
Neji - should get multiple elements for as smart as he was said to be 3 at the least 4 though. Wind, Water, Fire and Lightning. Also Gentile Fist should be relevant again and work, it was supposed to only need 2-3 hits to shut down an enemies chakra network leaving them jutsu-less yet it's never seen again.
Shino - should have bugs that control the enemy, they'd be raised with commands to enact once latched and when they get the enemy they make them fight his comrades. If 1v1 bugs that make them freeze up and not defend or attack. It would suck for him but he'd be OP if he ended up like Torun. Could do with an element, maybe raiton have his bugs infused with his raiton chakra then they bite the muscular system and send charges into it messing up the opponents movements.
TenTen - Chakra threads like puppet master and the ability to make a weapon literally out of anything. I think it'd be cool to see her go into battle raise her hands then shit start flying everywhere, it would throw the enemy off balance early on. Throwing trees and rocks and turning them into blades and such.
Sakura - I agree only thing she really needs is Genjutsu then we could see inner Sakura again, she wrecked shop.
Mangetsu - should have been shown making 6 water clones and using all 7 swords at once.
Suigetsu - should get wind so we can see another ice user. It's not really a skill but it'd be cool to see him reform the 7 swordsmen with Chojuro(who I know wouldn't join unless Suigetsu goes straight)
Temari - should get a fan with a fourth star, idk how much you can really variate wind based attacks but hers would be amongst the strongest. Maybe animate her winds into animals like they did with Guy's attacks.
Kankuro - should get Chiyo's ten puppets. Should utilize his Kankuro body puppet more often like he did in the Chunin exam against the snake enemy. He should have a jutsu where he can make a chakra thread jail cell and trap an enemy.
Yes this came from another thread if I could remember it I'd bump it here but I can't find it again.
