Can't believe I forgot Chiyo. She's actually one my favorite females in the manga, probably 3rd.
Chiyo was there for the purpose of dying & stopping Sasori upon introduction. One of the strongest characters and somewhat only around for 1 moment. I never cared for her.
Subjective. I enjoy all the females in Naruto save for Karui.



Yet you read it week after week. What's that tell you?
Karui was apart of one of the best moments in Naruto. I loved Naruto , but I don't read it for the female characters . It became annoying seeing them not participate even when they were apart of the situation. Like being center stage and fading into the background. Don't you agree?

However this is a story about NINJA. Females should be just as OP as the males. I get this is shonen, but they shouldn't have created so many females that are mains only to have them cast aside.

It doesn't matter whether they are Ninjas, Shinigamis or Pirates. When it comes to Shōnen, male characters almost always come off as more powerful and dominant in the story.
But, even if that's how it is, Kishi just recently ruined the stereotype by introducing Kaguya - the female, who turned out to be the strongest being of the world he created.

Resorting to name calling does not support your standpoint and only reveals further to everyone how nasty your personality is. And yes, you are a feminist. The moment you typed in the title of this thread using the term women, you were, and presently, you still are.

You were name calling the moment you called me a feminist. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, im stating mine. My issue is that this is a story with ninja, gender shouldn't matter, but all the women have some kind of fault, while the males all have some kind of cool persona. Look, you are one of those self-righteous, wannabe know it all who try to make themselves sound so important with your condescending tone.. I have a right to my opinion, just because I believe kishi could have done a MUCH better job with the females as he did with the males. Sigh, look, Im not going to argue with a idiotic person like you who feels he has power over the internet. Anything else you say don't bother cuz I wlll see your username and avatar and not even read.

The most powerful character in this series, Kaguya, is a woman. Chiyo and Sakura defeated one of the senior members of Akatsuki. Sakura reached Tsunade's sannin level and saved countless characters. Konan is a founding member of Aktsuki who helped form it and almost succeeded in killing Obito, Mei became Mizukage, was able to fight Madara and Sasuke and reformed her village, Temari defeated Ten Ten and Tayuya and became a jounin and an shinobi alliance captain. Hinata almost sacrificed her life to save Naruto twice, Chiyo was a decorated war hero, Ten Ten was able to wield Hagoromo's weapons and is the sharpest shooter in Konoha, Ino became a healer herself, the core to the Ino shika cho combo, inspired Sakura and Hashirama was able to take advantage of her mind transfer jutsu, Tsunade is one of the sannin, possesses the strongest healing jutsu, helped end the third shinobi war, saved countless lives in that war and against Pein and created the medic members and entire teams for shinobi setups.

In conclusion, you have no idea what you're talking about.

It became annoying seeing them not participate even when they were apart of the situation. Like being center stage and fading into the background. Don't you agree?

No, I don't agree with anything you say. And you didn't answer my second question.

I Really like Konan and Kushina. I like the rest, except Karin. I can't stand her. And who is Tenten?

You were name calling the moment you called me a feminist.

Being called a feminist is not name calling. It's an objective, literal classification based on your actions and bias. In all honestly I don't even believe you are worthy of the term because it really doesn't reflect you. I just couldn't find another classification for you at the moment. Sexist. There, is that better? You on the other hand resorted to profanity and insulting my intelligence simply because I pointed out the flaws in your logic and reasoning. Do not compare me to you. We are nothing alike.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, im stating mine.

And your opinion is invalid, sexist and hypocritical. That is mine. And unlike yours, it is validated.

My issue is that this is a story with ninja, gender shouldn't matter,

Your entire argument centers around "women being terrible characters." gender has everything to do with it. And this is a shounen manga, not a seinen, shoujou or josei. It is a genre of fiction with specific themes. Pirates were ugly, murdering brigands, not dildo boys and and pretty boys who were heroes and saved the world over and over like they are in One Piece.

but all the women have some kind of fault,

Every character in fiction possesses a fault, much the same as every person in real life does. Nothing is perfect and everything is subjective to taste and comprehension. Dogmatically stating otherwise is delusional.

while the males all have some kind of cool persona.

I believe most of the females also possess a "cool persona." Why should your opinion be any more valid than mine or others? And thank you once again for contradicting yourself and returning to sexism.

Look, you are one of those self-righteous, wannabe know it all who try to make themselves sound so important with your condescending tone..

I believe you are defining yourself, and do not throw the self-righteous card at me when you ignore entire character concepts in favor of bias and sexism over objectivity.

I have a right to my opinion,

And I possess a right to speak against and debunk that opinion.

just because I believe kishi could have done a MUCH better job with the females as he did with the males. Sigh, look, Im not going to argue with a idiotic person like you who feels he has power over the internet.

Lol I never stated I had power. You simply do not possess the objectivity to handle debate it seems.

Anything else you say don't bother cuz I wlll see your username and avatar and not even read.

Which give me the impression that deep down inside you believe you may have been wrong.

there's absolutely nothing wrong with Tsunade as a character hmm

her gambling addiction/short temper only humanize her. we all know that the Sannin's might have been legends/strong but, they all had problems :

Jiraiya : a pervert (to the extreme) who almost got himself killed because of it.

Tsuande : has a short temper/addicted to gambling.

Orochirmaru : not so hard to think of a couple of bad traits for Oro :yeah: the challenging thing would be the opposite (thinking of good traits).

as for the rest ......................... sure hmm

It's funny - and as I mentioned in another thread - as an overwhelming majority of women are like that in real life - romance and men drives them. If it wasn't the case, there wouldn't be such a large market for cosmetic products. As for characterization, then within the context, it's justified.

Tsunade, Konan and Chiyo (how could you forget about this amazing woman and include useless characters like Karui is beyhond me) are good characters, not just by 'female standards' but as characters (some people forget a character is a character regardeless of its gender) in general.
But that's my opinion. Opinions, opinions... its all about opinion.

There are many good females:
Sakura-she may have her faults but the girl has just as much will as the men along with a great abilities granted she could be more unique if she had the genjutsu
Tsunade-she is great too as she does also has her faults but so do the other cannons and she has done a lot for her village
Kushina-sacrifice her life for her child that's damn great if I may say so
Konan-help founded the akatsuki with her friends and managed to give obito trouble in a 1 on 1 battle
The rest has their great traits and bad traits but they still have accomplished many great things just like the males
