Naruto
Even though the series is finished now, many fans feel that some characters deserved to have a better ending to their story and that they should have continued living on instead of some villainous characters
Naruto is one of the most popular and beloved manga and anime series of all time. With a rich backstory, well developed characters and a beautifully constructed world it is easy to see the appeal of such an amazing series. We get to see a majority of the characters’ deep backstories and take a dive into what makes the characters tick as well as seeing what makes up their motives and choices.
But unfortunately not every Naruto character gets the same level of detail and there are a number of characters that fans wished to have seen more of. In this video we will take a look at some of the most under-utilized characters in terms of backstories and the ones who deserved to have their rich history shown to fans. This includes a number of fan favourites such as some of the most powerful shinobi ever known, some of the show’s primary antagonists and evil masterminds as well as even characters with direct links to the central plot.
We will take a look at these characters and argue why we deserved to see more of them to fully understand their motives and choices. So get ready to go back into the land of the shinobi and the epic world of Naruto. What did you make of this list? Which one would you have wanted to have seen more of?

naruto may have some awesome characters with well-crafted backstories but some members of the ensemble deserved more masashi kishimoto’s sensation naruto is known and loved for many things naruto and many of the main characters in the show and manga have extremely fleshed out backstories that explain their motivations and give them a wealth of depth their past experiences shape who they are in the present and make us understand where their goals and choices come from but with so many characters in the naruto slate not every character gets the same luxury and there are some who unfortunately don’t have the backstory that we would love to see while some of these characters are teased throughout we never get a deep dive into their history and what makes them tick in this video we’ll be taking a run through the 10 characters in naruto who should have had their own backstories including members of famous clans some of the most powerful shinobi in the naruto world and some of the show’s primary antagonists get ready to naruto run through some of the naruto characters that we should have seen more of first off the bat is one of the final antagonists of the show princess kaguya atsutsuki kaguya is the former matriarch of the yatsutsuki clan and the mother of hagamuro and hamura we do know a little bit about kaguya and the fact that during the endless war she consumed the fruit of the god tree and became the first known wielder of chakra on earth kaguya would then go on to merge with the tree to become ten tales we know that she came to earth to harvest the fruit for her a clan and eventually grew attached to the planet but we don’t really know anything else in regards to her backstory as to who sent her and how did she actually arrive on earth it would have been interesting to have seen kavya’s life off of earth and how she came to be but perhaps fitting in all this content involving a bigger universe might have been a bit too much however this means that overall the atsutsuki clan is somewhat of a mystery and a deeper look in takagia and the rest of her clan would have been greatly appreciated one of the characters with the least amount of backstory is actually one of the most powerful here is in saratobi harazen was actually the third hokage of the hidden leaf village and was a disciple of the village’s previous two hokages harazen was a tremendously powerful ninja and at one point hailed as the god of shinobi and his ninja skills were much more adept than a number of characters hirozin was so influential in fact that generations of konoha shinobi benefited from his wisdom and took on many of his teachings but for a character this powerful and with someone who was actually directly learned from two different hokages you’d surely expect to delve deeper into their backstory but fans were left disappointed when they didn’t get to see a glimpse of his early days as a pupil let alone the days during his prime and instead left a lot to our imagination with harrison’s power and skill we surely deserve to at least have got a slight flashback another character renowned across the shinobi world was the famous and powerful ninja sakuma hatake also known as konoha’s white fang like hirozen sakamot was known for his power and talents and was seen as one of the strongest people in his village some even claimed that he was more powerful than the sunning and held more notoriety so it’s safe to say that he was a pretty powerful shinobi then his son kakashi was a proven genius and sokomo witnessed him past the entrance exam to the academy as kakashi was at the academy sokomo went on a mission but after his teammates lives were endangered sakumot chose to abandon the important mission to save them sakamoto felt a great deal of dishonor about his failure and the only scene we see of him is him committing suicide for his failure before talking to kakashi in the afterlife with such a wealth of power you’d think this character deserves a deeper look at his backstory out of all the entries on this list kushina uzumaki probably got the most amount of backstory but it was arguably still not enough because we like backstory we do and as greatest showman’s jenny lind would say it’s never enough cushina was a konohagakure konoichi who originated from uzushiogakure’s uzumaki clan and was the daughter of ninetales she’s also the mother of naruto and the wife of minato kashina at one point also declared she wanted to be the first female hokage and spent her early life as a shinobi before growing into jinshuriki but unfortunately the backstory we see in the series isn’t focused on the character nearly enough instead the focus is instead on how she met minato and how the two would go on to live their lives together as opposed to what their lives were like prior to meeting such a headstrong stubborn and eccentric character deserve to have her deep backstory shown instead of only being associated with another and it is a shame that fans only got to see a snippet of the character’s history going back to the villain of the series another character who was arguably unjustly given too little screen time was the shinobi of darkness danzo shimra danzo a member of the shimra clan and elder of the konohaga curry village he was the founder and leader of root and spent decades performing suspicious deeds and taking fate into his own hands deciding what he thought was good for the village of konohagakure he is known therefore as being one of the most evil villains in the show and like sherlock’s moriarty was the mastermind of a number of evil deeds that happened throughout the show in fact think of a horrendous tragedy and danza was most likely behind it but the issue is we never really understood why he was as evil as he was or why he acted the way he did we know that he wanted the arguable best for his village as well as his own set of beliefs but we never got a fleshed-out backstory in the show that suggested why he went down his path and why he’s the evil genius that he is the character of didara is the one character that fans probably know the least about d’dahra is an s rank missing in from iwagakure who during his time in the village was a member of the explosion corps but after he defected from the village he was forced into the akutskiy group where he would be the youngest member until his eventual death in one short flashback we do see didara fighting itachi uchiha and eventually losing which is the factor that causes him to join the akutskiy but that’s basically it his life prior to iwagakude was never really shared and we never saw any deep look into his relationships with those around him leaving him arguably as one of the most shallow characters on the show especially as it feels there was a lot more to tell about the character and a much deeper and rich backstory there that the show could have explored opportunity missed i guess now we go over to a whole clan the uchiha clan first off is kagame uchiha kagami is one of the only members of the uchiha clan who actually didn’t get affected by the curse of hatred which runs through the clan instantly making him stick out from the rest of his brood kogami like so many on this list was actually seen as an extremely powerful shinobi and was heralded by the likes of danzo and heroes in saratovi which is high praise coming from them little of kogami throughout the series he was very quickly hyped up to being this powerful shinobi which fans assumed he would have a heavy impact on the plot or at least a number of appearances but he scarcely seen throughout fans would have undoubtedly liked to have seen what a kind-hearted uchiha looks like with a deep backstory but sadly they didn’t get the chance next member of the uchiha clan we’re going to discuss is fugaku uchiha fugaku was a known shinobi of konohagakure and was the known leader of the uchiha clan as well as being the leader of the konohan military force again i feel like i’ve said this too many times now but fugaku was known as one of the most powerful shinobi of all time and was known for his epic skills in fact he was also the rival to minato namakaze to be the fourth hokage what we know of fugaku is actually pretty darn epic with fuguku being an active member throughout the third great ninja war and even ultimately tried to stage a coup against the actual leader of konoha seeing more of fuguku and learning more about his backstory was something fans were desperate to see but sadly never got to although it would have been great to have learned more about fugaku and his motives the last member of the uchiha clan we are going to mention is shisui uchiha shisui’s power arguably eclipsed even that of fugaku and kagami and he was seen as one of the most powerful uchihas in naruto lore and that is saying something known as shisui of the body flicker shisui was seen as a prodigious young fighter and was a powerful character to say the least shisui had a big impact on the lives of hitachi and sasuke and although we got to see him as a part of hitachi’s story we sadly never got to see his own one but there feels like there was a lot that the series could have explored for instance like kagame why was he not affected by the hatred curse what actually was his role during the third great ninja war and how exactly did he awaken mangakiya sharingan so many questions yet so little answers i gots to know naruto i gots to know last on the list as a character we have mentioned a few times in passing already and that is the character of minato namakaze known as the yellow flash minato is naruto’s father and was the fourth hokage of konohagakure sadly minato died protecting his son during the attack of the nine-tailed demon fox’s attack sacrificing his life to ensure that a part of the ninetales went into naruto as shinobis go minato was seen as one of the very best and according to jaraya he was one of the likes that would only show up in generation given his power how he was the fourth hokage his importance to the plot and the fact that he is naruto’s father you would expect the series to explore his backstory instead very little is known about minato and clan namakaze’s backstory with fans left wondering how he met kushina and his events during the third great ninja war given his heritage and the fact that minato has such importance in the story and his son naruto fans would have loved to have seen some more from the yellow flash and some flashbacks to his early life what did you make of this list who was your favorite naruto character which one would you have wanted to have seen more of any we missed let us know in the comments below and make
