I'm not a fan of Konoha shinobi, they are too soft and overpowered so I'm always happy when they introduce strong characters from other villages. During the war we saw some shinobi who were pretty strong yet they were never mentioned before and were already dead at the start of the series. Gari from Iwagakure, Pakura from Sunagakure and Chukichi from Kirigakure are some examples. Why would you introduce characters with such unique and powerful abilities just to use them as zombies when they could have been introduced alive and show that theres an actual balance of power between the villages. Right now it seems like Iwa, Kiri, Kumo and Suna has only about one or two strong shinobi while Konoha has too many. I know the series are in Konoha but even during the war most non-Konoha Jonin were just fodder. The interesting shinobi from the other villages are dead while Konoha still pretty much has all of its strong ones. It would be nice if Kiri had someone as strong and interesting as Kisame or Iwa had another Deidara.
