Boss entrance for fodders? When did this happen...

Most of Konoha for Naruto vs pain
Samurai for Sasuke vs Gaara
White Zetsu for Edo's vs the shinobi alliance
Sasuke for Naruto Vs Gaara ( Sasuke was a fodder in that fight >.> not for the rest of the story tough)
Oro's prisoners for Sasuke and Suigetsu vs Juugo ( tough it wasn't really a battle)
Konoha vs Oto and Suna staling for time for the ANBU ( not fodder in that event), Ino-Shika-Cho
Shikamaru vs 9 Oto stalled for Asuma

Fodders are also often use to show one's ability to deal with a great number of them

so i guess naruto in part 1 as a fodder to help sasuke in mission?Sasuke was assigned to special mission and he was consider an good ninja at his age to handle difficult mission

A fodder is any ninja that can be killed off without much effect.

Some of K11 would fall into the fodder categories. All in all, fodder can depend on what arc you are looking at.

 

[Nami Usagi]

most of konoha 11 are "fodder". Lee, Shikamaru, Neji?, and Hinata are basically the only ones that aren't at the moment.

(Sakura, Sai, and Naruto not included)

Some people say she killed Kakuzu's lightning mask, but I call BS on that
It was obviously Asume IMO

Tenten ,sakura are fodder?

 

[kaka96]

Tenten ,sakura are fodder?

Tenten is
Sakura is half fodder to me ._.
Her death would have an impact in the story, and she's above the "average" chunin, but she's still way beneath the main powerhouses

 

[ProdigyRokuX]

they all have names and are somehow relevant or have been, so none of them are fodder.. deceased solider #534 and 892 are fodders that died in the war. U_U
