The ones that aren't are like tertiary characters who are foil for the secondary characters. Some of the foil actually has its own foil (looking at Shikamaru).

Yeah Shikamaru can be considered a foil to Naruto in that Shikarmaru is a genius / serious and Kishimoto sometimes makes Naruto look silly. Like on the giant turtle island when Naruto took so long to realize something was wrong with a S rank mission for animal genders.
It was obvious that a animal mission like that wouldn't be S rank and even when the turtle was flipped upside down by Edo Deidara explosion Naruto still didn't realize how obvious it wasn't a real S rank mission.
I think Kishimoto showed Naruto like this maybe for comedy purposes and since he wanted Naruto on the turtle island.
