Known throughout the series as the "chubby character who loves to eat," Choji Akimichi primarily serves as comic relief alongside Kiba Inuzuka. He also represents family heritage in Konoha, being part of the iconic Ino-Shika-Cho trio with Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka.
Initially introduced as Sakura’s rival in beauty, Ino Yamanaka might seem like a mere purple version of Sakura Haruno. Beyond her role as the Yamanaka member of Konoha's Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Ino’s character doesn’t stand out much in the series.
Although Hinata and Neji are the more prominent Hyugas in the series, Hanabi Hyuga is far from a mere side character. As the current heiress of the Hyuga Clan and Hinata’s younger sister, Hanabi quickly earned the respect of the clan’s elders for matching her sister’s skill and ability.
Kurenai stands out as the only Jonin Team Captain among Naruto’s peers who doesn’t significantly influence the franchise's story. Her primary role as Asuma’s love interest, combined with her relatively unremarkable combat feats in the series,

Iruka is best known as Naruto’s Academy instructor and the closest thing he has to a father figure. With Naruto’s graduation, it’s natural for Iruka-sensei to take a step back. However, his role as "the instructor"
Ibiki, who serves as the proctor for the written portion of Naruto's Chunin Exams, is known for challenging students to cheat without getting caught. Despite his initial prominence, he remains mostly absent after this arc, reappearing only briefly in later scenes.
Shizune's role as a seemingly perpetual assistant to the Hokage can sometimes overshadow her value as Tsunade's apprentice. Despite her unassuming secretarial appearance, Shizune is a formidable kunoichi with exceptional skills in medical ninjutsu.
