 * I hate that after he lost his Sharingan, Kakashi's basically treated as if he's useless. He's honestly the most versatile character in the series, and since he was never shown using the alleged thousand techniques he's copied, all his Sharingan did was basically allow him to use Lightning Cutter. And in Kakashi Gaiden, he developed Lightning Release: Purple Electricity to work around that, as well.
 * Although, I will admit that he was very well compensated: for that one chapter, Double MS + Susanoo Kakashi was the most OP character in the entire series.


 * Yamato, the only protagonist who can use Wood Release, besides Hashirama himself, is abducted by Kabuto, strapped to a wall and forgotten about for almost 80 chapters. Kishimoto literally said, "Naruto and Kurama are gonna be working together soon...fuck Yamato lmao".


 * Neji, who was built to be the strongest behind Naruto and Sasuke in Part I, sees minimal screentime and then gets taken out like legit fodder. Neji had SO much potential and he basically amounted to the rock that Naruto tripped on and landed into Hinata's bed.


 * Asuma was built up to be this complete badass who was an incredibly dangerous fighter, then he was killed by two men who were themselves defeated by a bunch of 15-16 year olds.
 * It's a prime example of what I believe has always been the series' biggest problem: Everyone has to be nerfed to make Naruto and Sasuke look stronger than they actually are.


 * If Sasuke wasn't shielded by Plot Armor, Danzō would have killed him. He was holding back because he assumed he would have to fight Tobi as well. Sasuke was already a wreck after the beating he got from the other Kage and their bodyguards, and he was barely standing by the time Team Kakashi reunited. 100% plot convenience that Sasuke survived.
