Underestimated Characters

[Frozenstein]

Spoiler

lol @ ppl saying Sasuke is underrated. He's one of the main characters in the manga, we see him almost all the time unless Kishi is doing the Naruto story. He also receives free power-ups and techniques to match Naruto's. I don't see how he is underrated.

Choji received a power up during the war so he's good. Ino was also seen in the battlefield as a strong shinobi when she saved chouji's ass couple of times.

Gaara is the leader of the generals in the war ffs. He is not underrated.

Tsunade, although weak in ninjutsu, is unmatched in healing techniques. She is the strongest medical nin. She's still good in hand to hand combat. SHe's not underrated at all. People have to remember that she is not a front line fighter but more of a support ninja.

Edit: Hanzo isn't underrated. He made the Sanins. He was fighting all the powerful nations by himself and his tiny Rain country but he was still known as the strongest ninja of his time. Kabuto couldn't control him even when he made him a puppet tells you something about Hanzo.

Underrated characters are;

KONAN (Although she managed to damage Madara the most out of everyone else and even made him use his Izanagi, she had the least amount of screen time. People tend to think she was the weakest of the Akatsuki because of how little she was in the manga.)
Shino (Never gets any attention, literally)
Tenten (Always the weakling)
Neji
Hinata (She had such an awesome part in the Pain Invasion and I liked what Kishi did with it but she was NEVER mentioned after that. It's almost like she died. Naruto doesn't even remember her confession lol)
Kiba
Lee (He was AWESOME during pre-shippuden, especially his fight with Gaara. Want to see more of that)
Anko
Kimimaro (Really strong character, Kishi needs to give Kimimaro more screen time, he's still not sealed)
Kurenai (Got preggos)
Yamato (One of the best Anbu members, wood element user, got captured easily by Kabuto...)

Kishi also needs to boost the role of Byakugan. Kakashi mentioned that Sharingan is a mutation of Byakugan in pre-shippuden.

the best post in this thread so far. U_U

Not only do I think the females are underestimated in general, I think that Sai, Sasori, Shino, Kiba, and Lee are underestimated. They were considered awesome at some point, but it's like everyone is staggering in their growth except for Naruto, Sasuke, and Kabuto.

I'm sure there are others, but these three have shown the most growth, and continue to do so. Everyone else is a hit or miss. In some episodes we see awesome things from them, then in the next episode, it's like they have temporary amnesia or something and get kicked around.

hmmm....i dont think females in general are underestimated...i mean...look at what kishi did for mei the mizukage...she took on sasuke and now she's considered a badass, even with sasuke in a weakened low chakra state lol, she considered to be extremely powerful now lol, but we rarely get to see something like that, female characters taking on some of the most powerful, for instance like chiyo & sakura vs sasori, chiyo to me i have no complaints about, i think she may actually be the most skilled female character we've seen, kishi displayed her correctly imo, too bad tsunade isnt displayed like that...i believe she has the most right out of every female character to be just as much of a superpowered character as naruto & sasuke are

That is a rare occasion. Almost every time I see girls in the Naruto series, they are crying all over their male counterparts and asking for them to do something, when said girls are supposed to be ninjas, as well. You never see guys cry about anything, except when Shikamaru cried after the Sasuke retrieval mission that failed. That was one time. In real life, guys cry just as much as we do.

>.> im not saying that guys dont cry but... >.> its proven that girls are more emotional senora...thus more likely to cry :l so...sorry? and crying has little to do with being underestimated...u can be crying the whole series and be strong as hell...for example naruto...he's cried more than once, and he fixing to be the strongest...so..yea crying has nothing to do with it, im just concerned with ppl like Tsunade who are supposed to be beastly, and can barely seem fit to be hokage, like she's not strong or unique enough...highly underestimated to me :l

Oh, I forgot about Naruto crying. I agree about Tsunade.

I was really disappointed about Sasori, though. Even though he had the longest fight in the series, I still feel like he was underestimated. I would have liked to see him fight a battle and win before he was killed off. I mean, Deidara said that Sasori was a better ninja than him, but Sasori was killed off quickly. Deidara survived against Gaara when he was the Shukaku jinchuuriki. Plus, he was doing well against Sasuke until he decided to blow himself up. WTF?!!

Just because she is a medic nin doesnt mean she is not a front line fighter.....
