Tenten

A master weapon user who should have been more relevant.

A jounin who succumbs to Naruto's boyish techniques.

His downfall becomes more severe. borutoIn , he works as an incompetent academy teacher who is often the butt of jokes. The fact that he was weaker than his students (a point proven by Mitsuki) shows how badly this character has fallen in terms of raw power.

A hypothetical Genjutsu user who doesn't do anything notable.

• debut: Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes? (Episode 3 naruto)

Kurenai was supposed to be a capable Jonin capable of engaging in genjutsu combat, but she faded away with little relevance early on. Itachi showed how useless her mastery of illusions was by nearly trapping her in an incredible genjutsu.
