Maybe kishimoto learns his lesson and starts using less characters?

 

Or perhaps make less characters? I think introducing less people will make it easier to not ignore already existing characters 

Like most long-running Shounen authors, he probably wouldn't notice his mistakes as long as his manga sells and shippers and the likes fanboy all over him. Not many readers care about how side characters are treated, especially in Japan.

Pretty unfortunate, because I think Naruto had some of the best morals, side characters, and themes in any Shounen manga. Most just put magical powers/shinigami and hope it rolls, but Naruto represented a lot of interesting things in our society. Nuclear warfare, devastation of war, super powers(think US/USSR, not superman), reincarnation cycle, etc.

I think he'd do much better had the cancerous fans never existed. Shippers, complainers, etc etc. I believe he even said in an interview that he didn't even try for the epilogue. Don't blame him. Author of Bleach also had his series ruined.
