Inference is your friend. In an ensemble cast situation, its time to put tropes to use, rather than attempting to subvert, avert or deconstruct them. Remember, tropes are based off audience expectations; they see x, they'll be expecting y and z. Take advantage of that would be my advice.

I'd say that your characters need time to stretch their legs. Focus on one or two at a time and develop them in the story, then move on to someone else when the time is right.

So I'm working on this Next Gen Naruto fic(please no comments about that specific point), and I realized that I have a lot of characters. With a lot of emotional backstory. Is there anyway I can manage to convey each characters motivations and issues while still keeping a relatively linear story?
