Hm....

For the most part, I agree with the list

Itachi- was handed the job to kill his own clan and hide in the shadows becuase Lord Third couldn't do it himself. He nutured hatred for his brothers, joined a criminal organization when he was ALWAYS a leaf shinobi. He suffered from suicidal thoughts as a child, and I think that it was Sasuke that stopped him from really commiting suicide. I do think Itachi is complex down to his fighting style.

Kakashi- the man who had everything taken away from him. His lover, his best friend, his star student (for a certain amount of years). He became distant, and arrogant because he knew if he restrengthened those bonds, it would hurt him to break them. It didn't help that his father commited suicide and was shunned on by the village

Gaara- A jinchuuriki who had a kinder heart than Naruto did, and no one saw him for who he was all because of Shukaku, Little did Suna know THEY were the reason Shukaku kept coming out.

Nagato- He saw his parents die and was manipulated by Madara... I don't know if I'd consider him complex, only because Madara manipulated him to the end.

Shikamaru- I guess you could say he's complex, the only thing I see that would be comlpex about him is that Asuma died and put him into a short lived depression. Shika has a loose personality, and his backstory isn't as CRAZY as Kakashi for example.

Jiraiya- is so gregarious that it's hard to think of him as complex. He lived his life enjoying every moment, if it wasn't for him training Naruto, imagine what would have happened when Sasuke attacked the village? When Gaara attacked the village? Jiraiya is in my opinion too good of a character to call him complex...

One person I'd add is Kabuto. Danzou trained him and his mother seperately and eventually got his foster mother to attack him... Then Orochimaru took him in and forced him to do his bidding. Almost like Haku and Zabuza.... And then after that, he got sick of being the underdog and helped Obito with a war!

I'd also say Haku is pretty complex for reasons stated above.
