Sadly, the most interesting characters in Naruto either die too quickly, or get little exposition/screen time. Just my theory, but Naruto was probably rushed to the end prematurely. Most likely, originally, Kishimoto intended to go beyond what the 700 chapters + Gaiden and Boruto movie covered.

My biggest gripe with the Boruto series isn't its existence, I'm fine with that... I just think Naruto ended earlier than it should and Boruto came too soon to replace it. There are still dozens unexplored things from Naruto that might never get answers.
