What do you mean by less characters having indepth stories? I feel support characters like Rock Lee, Neji, Shikamaru, Choji, etc. were given an appropriate amount of focus and development as well as background. Let's put it this way many and I many characters we've never got to see their fool potential or Kishi failed at making what could've been a strong character or rushed the character and their skill wasn't very pleasant. Rock Lee was left in the desert in Shippūden along with Neji and Chōji. Shikamaru was given a better role in Part II but Kishi didn't really give us much with many characters.
