*note* Not implying to be sexist. Kishi is a bad female character writer, don't deny it.

Spoilers are because large images. Too lazy to find smaller ones. Well, at least they're large on my phone.

Why is Kishi bad with female characters? Not bad. Real bad. Every single female has something wrong with them or needs saving and he writes almost all the guys like they're perfect.

Hinata and Sakura.

After this latest chapter, I noticed something. Both these two showed off a new feat when standing up to a very powerful opponent just to get one shot.

Then other females always need saving or can hardly do anything. Ino, Kushina, Temari, TenTen (especially TenTen), Anko, Tsunade, Mei.

These girls can all be totally kickass and have so much potential! Why can't Kishi just do it right with them?

Sakura

she isn't completely useless, but she does indeed have a lot of moments of being useless. I feel most of the time so it's just to show Naruto being stronger. Some parts she could've been better, but I blame Kishi because plot. (Ex: stabbing Obito's eye, not killing Sasuke, etc.). She's weak compared to her two comrades, but she is starting to become a worthy Shinobi. She just displayed a major show of guts and courage. Yet people still try to down play that :|

Hinata

Sorry I just had to.

a fan-favorite. But you can't deny she doesn't have much personality to her. I honestly never saw the appeal of her character. I feel her character is centered around Naruto a little too much. Plus a main problem Kishi has with females is that they're usually weak, and Hinata falls under that category. But over the years she had developed confidence and courage.

Kushina

Probably one of the better written females. She was a caring and loving mother. I see a lot of Sakuras personality in her and I like that about them. The love story between Minato and Kushina was very well written. She was also pretty badass for holding down Kurama with her chains.

Ino

I like her, but have mixed feelings about her character. She still likes Sasuke despite never even talking to him, but lately she's been showing how mature and strong she's been. Fighting your old teacher much be hard, and I'm surprised she didn't hesitate. She also falls under the weak category.

TenTen

She's TenTen.

Her character is crazy. She's too obsessed with Sasuke. The only reason she got her new power up was because she was worried about him. I'm not sure if that's love or a weird obsession. Either way, I don't think Kishi did much of a good job with her. I'm not sure if she falls under weak. It depends if she can control the chains.

Konan

Arguably the best female character. She fought for what she thought was right and almost took down Obito herself. She's definitely not weak, but she got killed off, which sucks.

Temari

A Kickass Kunoichi. She doesn't seem to take sh¡t from anyone and is very powerful. But we haven't really seen much of her, which is a huge downer.

Mei

She acts like a total flirt and is worried about marriage. But she is indeed powerful for a Kage.

Tsunade

Boobs. Uh I mean, Tsunade is a great hokage, I don't care what you say. Sure she isn't the strongest overall, but she is indeed strong. She's a good written character... For a female. She's handled loss of her loved ones and is still going strong.

Anko

she had potential, but we never saw much from her. A dammn shame, really.

I like them all. It's really sad Kishi neglects them. They all have so much potential.

Tl;dr: Kishi is a butt and sucks with females.

I think he himself admits that he is bad at writing females. I still like Kushina and Konan, though :yeah:

Tenten is the best female out of k11.
There i said it.

Also i was surprised not to see Chiyo there. She is an old woman with no physical appeal so she is overlooked. But she is one of the best females in Naruto; she was a versatile and strong fighter also had a personslity.

I believe he did admit he isn't the best with female characters in an interview once. I don't have a source though.

Oh, uh. I totally didn't forget about her.

I'll probably update the OP later with other characters

No females should remain helpless
If you want to watch a bunch of skirts saving the day go and watch a crap anime like "fairy tail"

Wasn't TenTen wanting to be like Tsunade just a filler episode? Or was that actually stated in the manga before?

It's funny how you didn't put Kurenai into this. n.n Kishi said it himself. He is bad when it comes to females. Obiously never had much experience with them. XD
Also I love your sig. Them feels at the end of 5D's. :'(

Kishimoto stinks at writing females. I think the issue is that he gives the girls powerups at the WRONG time. For example, if he had given the sakura the current powerup against a weaker opponent(like say an akatsuki member like kakuzu) then she would have seemed better., THe problem is that kishi forgot about sakura after the kazekage arc(I believe he said so in an interview) so her development was lacking-hence he tried to shoehorn all of it in this arc. BUt naruto/sasuke/madara/obito have been receiving powerups at a much faster rate-hence she looks bad. Now, it's the same with the other girls too.
