I have to say it was ROCK LEE. He was given such a superb backstory and after his fight with Gaara, many people saw potential in him and he became a very hyped character very early in the series but then I don't know what happened to kishimoto and he COMPLETELY ignored Lee after giving him one last fight against Kimimaro.

Apart from being a badass and a very sincere character he was also very funny and provided comic relief and in many ways was relatable to us than most characters in naruto.

I think even if kishimoto decided to not give tenten, shino, choji, etc. much screen time or character development, Lee was one character who he shouldn't have ignored like the rest because his character was truly well written and had great potential.
