My point was I think your thesis "you need to fight to stay relevant" is incorrect. Hinata and Shinkamaru are just examples of how it can be done.

Are you kidding? Out of all the rookies Shikamaru is the one with the most fight and expositions. His entire growth happened around his battle against Hidan and Kakuzu. Remove those and he's still the guy from part 1, the guy we got to know in the first place because of his fight against Kin, Temari and the Sound nin.
I'm not saying that fighting is all there is to character development in this kind of series but in order to have character growth you need the spotlight and for that you need fight scenes 95% of the time.
