Kiba. Had one of the best fighting styles in part 1 and both Fang over Fang and the Man Beast Clone shit was cool. Then he gets greased into a hobo in part 2 and doesn’t do anything.
This dude was born a side character but he is probably the most important relationship for Naruto’s early development.
Those don’t know but Naruto learned compassion from iruka because until that point, he only really knew rejection. Imagine a what if scenario where iruka dies before Naruto learns this lesson. The story may have been completely different
Unless you subscribe to the fact that ashura reincarnation thing basically robs Naruto of any sort of individuality in his development in which case nothing changes and GOD I HATE THAT PLOT POINT
it robs Naruto of all his good will since we now know he’s got it from somewhere else
Tenten. She as a weapons master was SO COOL, and the few moments the Anime gave her were interesting. However, Kishimoto for some reason refuses to have her do anything of importance.
Hyate gekko was unfortunately legitimate cannon fodder. Died completely in vain to a stupid jutsu when he was a cool character who actually used a katana
Not every character in the series needs to be a powerhouse to have some significance. Iruka was an educator, and he’s very proud of it because many of his students went on to be good important people.
Character that I hate to admit is a fodder? No one
But characters that i do think that are fodder and know people won’t be happy when I say it : Hinata, Kiba and Shikamaru (to an extent, he’s op when he has a prep time and a team which he can utilise but on his own I don’t think he can beat anyone above a certain levels of shinobi like kages of the past and beyond, only kages I can see him defeating are Chojuro, kagatsuchi and maybe Darui but nothing above that)
Anko was treated just as badly but to be fair the author didn’t really flesh out his female characters. Anko I just find really sad. She had an amazing badass attitude with a punk rock fashion and he just didn’t really develop her character. Although she was treated a bit better than iruka was. But yeah they got done pretty dirty and anko got it worse in boruto
My favorite character in all of Naruto is Sasori. He gets done so damn dirty though. They really hype him up with his all of his prior feats(all of which happened offscreen, mind you), his master of puppetry being above basically anyone in history, and his ability to kill people with basically a single scratch due to his poison.
What happens to him? He straight up THROWS both fights he’s actually in, and dies before act 1 of shippuden is even done.
He’s got everything; interesting backstory, unique fighting style, believable personality, and they just do… nothing with him.
Everyone except Naruto and Sasuke. I hate it but at the end of the day everyone just had a role to fulfill for the two main characters. After that everyone was clearly left behind aside from necessary interactions or mentions.
This right here is one of the plethora of resons that boruto sucks ass. I mean come on, they could have made a completely new story that doesn’t involve any of the characters, instead of making them all die a slow death.
Byoruu
Iruka aged like 50 years in 15 year span
Younger than Kakashi and Shizune. Looks older than both of them. Boruto really shit on quite a few characters.
iruka been a fodder his whole life, but atleast he made naruto a better man
He’s alive, and I don’t think he’s ever lost a student. So not fodder and does his job perfectly.
Iruka is an example of fodder done right. He’s impactful to the series without having to be a strong fighter.
Kurenai. She has sharingan lite but never does much with it
iruka isn’t fodder he taught naruto the talk no jutsu he’s easily kage+
Kiba. Had one of the best fighting styles in part 1 and both Fang over Fang and the Man Beast Clone shit was cool. Then he gets greased into a hobo in part 2 and doesn’t do anything.
Most characters are fodder by the end of Naruto. The power escalation in the last couple fights were very high.

They way they treat him at this point, Sasuke
Hyate gekko was unfortunately legitimate cannon fodder. Died completely in vain to a stupid jutsu when he was a cool character who actually used a katana
Am I the only one who thought iruka was cute in shippuden

Konohamaru in Boruto
Choji, Kiba, Konohamaru they all fuckin bums I hate their guts
What does fodder mean?
Not every character has to have dummy strong abilities
Character that I hate to admit is a fodder? No one

Neji. Dude was alll hype after the chunin exams.
Did they ever mention how he got his scar?
Everyone except Naruto and Sasuke. I hate it but at the end of the day everyone just had a role to fulfill for the two main characters. After that everyone was clearly left behind aside from necessary interactions or mentions.
Kiba….Shino… especially Kiba….and 1010 ????
Pretty much everybody nowadays
Yes the character with the biggest impact on naruto is fodder
Kotetsu and Izumo.
