Except it was the point of the characters that they died early. The themes surrounding them simply wouldn't be the same. Yahiko was ultimately immortalized as the face of Pain. Minato's early death and how he was unable to fulfill his true potential is i think referenced at least 3-4 times.

In retrospect, Neji should've died in Part 1. I don't think the nature of the series would work very well for the Hyuga as they'd inevitably be measured against the Uchiha and anything they do would inevitably be either "too OP" or "useless compared to the Uchiha".

Haku i'm not sure about. Cool ice powers that could've been extended significantly? sure. Deep character that deserves to be explored more? Nope.
