Let me try another way to explain it. Michael Jordan is regarded by many as the greatest basketball player of all time. He had dozens, of coaches, trainers, team doctors, equipment managers, and practice squads. How many of them can you name without the internet? Each one is valuable to the team and instrumental to the achievment of the goal. But they don't get to be on Wheaties boxes. Your favorite band probably has dozens of instrument techs, sound and lighting guys. Hell depending on the genre you listen to they even have composers that actually write the music. But you don't know them either. The world is full of support people, most of us are probably support people ourselves. That doesn't change the fact that we came for that singular talent. Even in the context of Naruto his ability to make friends and forge allegiances is regarded as special even in the story. So were they all doing their best because they wanted to, or was it Naruto's ability to motivate and inspire people? The villiage wasn't doing to hot pre-Naruto's arrival. Didn't experienced and skill shinobi say he's got this one? Wasn't Hinata told that the best thing she could do was stay out of his way? And specifically Hinata. The best thing a woman ,who as stated on this Wiki, can see several kilometers could do? Was get slapped around? No one here thinks a better use for a family of people that can see Chakra was to track down Pain? No you're right, getting pecker slapped was clearly the right choice.
