Am i the only one who does not really like the characters of konoha 12?(and sai too I guess). I like naruto, sasuke, shikamaru and neji. Shino is not so bad but I am not a fan of any kind and rock lee and hinata is not so bad either. However the rest I think are really lame.
1. Ino and her entire clan for that matter seem really useless as individual ninja. She has an annoying personality and just comes off stupid and pretentious.
2 Choji is strong apparently but I feel like he lacks any real character development. During the sasuke rescue arc he was painted as this nice guy despite acting somewhat rude and apathetic in every time he appeared before. Can anyone to this date list any example of choji's kindness? I feel like making him the nice fat guy was a cop out to avoid giving him any real personality.
3. Kiba is so annoying. Sasuke can create black fire and naruto saved this entire army like ten times in a row. How can you sit their and act like you are impressing them buy making a shadow clone. His jutsu was impressive but he will never reach naruto's level and at the very least he knows he is not there now. He sounds like an eight year old and I hate him. I don't hate many fictional characters but kiba is one of them.
4. Tenten...what does she do.
5. Sai came in acting like he was so bad and never once did anything worth mentioning. I am not mentioning the whole punching deidara and sasori thing because that was just bad writing. How in the world did he sneak behind some of the worlds most dangerous ninja in the blink of an eye and defeat them in thirteen seconds. I mean... did these guys not kill gaara the kazekage and Chiyo one of the strongest ninjas of her time. Then he gets spanked by the juubi and is the only one to do nothing
6. Last but certainly not least sakura. Sakura, ino, tsunade and kushina all have way to much in common. Has kishi only ever met one girl because he has a very limited opinion on what they act like. I mean sure guys think all girls are similar in a way but this is ridiculous. as the female protagonist should sakura not be individual. She is obsessed with sasuke who she knew for a short time. She has not known him much longer than she actually knew him. She has no redeeming qualities, she is mean to the one guy who likes her and is very unfriendly. But at least she has developed right?wrong. Sakura took the entirety of part one and the two year break to improve and then takes another 300 chapters to do it again. But her skill development is not the bad part. Sakura is largely the same person she is from the beginning. She acts tougher than she is, always lectures, is highly annoying and does not fulfill her duties(she failed to protect sasuke and naruto during the chunin exams and could not bring herself to kill sasuke)

how many do you actually like if any?

Haha the ten-ten bit killed me, she wasn't even shown last chapter. I think it's good we see everyone progress because whilst I might not like certain characters as much as others it's still good to see them grow. Character development no matter who it is is always good because it adds more depth to the series. The only exception to this is sasuke since his ideals just flip flop 2 arcs later...

I won't refute all of what you said. Mostly, because I can agree to some things. Like Tenten being less than useful (ever notice Kishi trashes Chinese themed characters in his manga?).

However, I bolded a few parts I disagree with.
1. Ino is meant to use her abilities in conjunction with others. A theme of the show is that collaboration with friends can lead to greater results.

5. Sai is a sneaky kitty kat.
-He was able to sneak up to Sasuke's room while he was sleeping (perhaps not too impressive).
-Flew Killer B into Juubi's mouth
-instrumental in ambush squad and sealing a few people (if memory serves)

But he's played a part several times within the last hundred episodes. Which in Naruto time is a matter of days, not the years we've been waiting. This was what I saw wrong with the "Sakura not knowing Sasuke" bit since they knew each other until 13 years old (not so many hundreds of chapters, but 13 years Naruto time) and 3 years apart (400ish chapters?).

6. This seems likely. Not only do men outnumber women 2 to 1 in this universe, their character development seems to plop along at the same ratio. Sakura in some ways seems like a static character, but she has had alot of internal conflict. Sakura bashing is easy and too frequent these days. I appreciate that you dislike her not for her abilities (or lack thereof), but for the way she treats Naruto and all you mentioned. As I write this I'm trying hard to like Sakura, but it's not coming.

She seems like that friend who uses boys who give her attention, because she's insecure and likes people being interested in her. Then in the end doesn't date the guy, but still wants to be friends (and receive the same attention). Yeah, I was a boy who gave b*tches like that attention in my youth. Now, I have no desire to play games with my intentions, and no patience for girls and women alike who want to *****foot around what they want out of a relationship. Her "grow a pair" statement a few chapters ago was really for herself.

Hope this made sense and wasn't disagreeable o_o
