Kurenai and ANko had hella potential to be total badasses, but people with vagainas aren't supposed to be glorified

Isn't it shonen manga? The material marketed towards adolescent males to relate to? Quit these pathetic insinuations of misogyny or sexism. It is foolish.

Criticizing manga for what it not intends to be...

Being aimed towards boys isn't a good excuse.

I think Sakura would be pretty cool with a little less panel time.

To me her character seems forced.

"good excuse"? What?! It is not an excuse, it is their main objective, demographic to earn money from... Just like it is mainly a male protagonist in violent, action video games. That also has its own target audience, and not an excuse.

Temari, Konan, Mei can be somewhat cool.

Depends how you define "cool" though.

Cool as having neat traits of a character or cool as in style or class...

I just think Kishi is bad at writing strong badass female characters, period.

Well, you could say, if she was not dead, Konan was an awesome female character.. She kind of owned Obito in minutes, also he did use Izangi ( I do not know how to spell it)..So, she was a useful female character...Temari, she is also awesome, aswell...The fight with Tayuya.
I apologise if I offended Obito or Tayuya, I was just making a friendly point, not hating.:)

You think Anko and Kurenai are more bad ass than girls like Konan or Temari :|

Adding new females doesn't really fit in the plot except for new chicks introduced in the Kage Summit arc and war arc

Konan is cool tho....

Why yes, it does. Naruto doesn't have a single female who is just a killing machine who relies on brute force for instance. There is only one female villain (Konan) who isn't even a real villain - she was a follower or Yahiko/Nagato. Temari did have a potential but then she was reduced to a background role, became more emotional and a pairing material. Heck, Naruto could use a "butch" female type character - notice how there isn't even a single female with a short, boyish haircut?
