The Konoha 11 had so many interesting characters my personal favourite were Neji and Rock Lee but the other characters were amazing too.

I truly believe series could have easily utilized the side characters decently by making Naruto go on missions with the other characters or even sometimes not having Naruto in some of the missions. Example: Naruto goes to the hidden cloud with Neji, hinata, tenten and Lee.

Or Naruto goes to the hidden stone with Ino, Shino, Sakura and shikamaru.

This way the Konoha 11 would get there time to shine and also other villages would get development. These are the ones we want to see.
