Why are most female Naruto characters just love interests for another character?

[Bling Kai]

Am I the only one who noticed this?

 

[FemmeFatale]

Because men typically she women as love interest.

 

[-Punk-]

That's every main or regular female in any anime , they always have a love interest .

 

[Tobi98]

Only the weak ones

 

[Mattek2008]

Kushina - Naruto's mom

Konan - Antagonist

Tenten - non-existant

Hinata - Love interest

Sakura - Protagonist/Maincharacter + Love interest

Temari - Gaara's sister

Kurenai - Sensei

I'm sure there are more but not that i can remember. So nah, not all. Far from it.

dafaq? seems like sakura and hinata are only ones you know ....
do you know tsunade mei konan temari tenten shizune kaguya?

 

[The Great Second Hokage]

Duh thats how the world works

 

[FemmeFatale]

Only the weak ones

Mito X hashirama
Sakura X (naruto/sasuke/lee/patient/some other guy)
Tsunade X (dan/jariyah)

They are strong

Think of Kaguya having a love interest :|

 

[Umari Senju]

It is just how Shonen Jump Manga's like to portray their women. Which is one of the reason's I adore Claymore. Most of the heroes are women and their powerful, deadly and scary, creepy and sexy all at the same time. No realy fan service in it and they are all more powerful than the boys.

Mikasa is another female character I admire, sure she is in love with Erin, but she is also stronger than him.

The female audience generally sympathizes with this sort of thing. I can sympathize with Sakura's rejected love from Sasuke, Hinata's secret love for Naruto, the ridiculous sexual tension between Shikamaru and Temari, etc

It draws in those readers. Kishi's just making sure there's something for everyone. :3

Nobody loves Ino.
Tenten loves nobody and nobody loves her
Kishi said Temari is not a love interest for Shikamaru.

Kushina - Naruto's mom

Konan - Antagonist

Tenten - non-existant

Hinata - Love interest

Sakura - Protagonist/Maincharacter + Love interest

Temari - Gaara's sister

Kurenai - Sensei

Mei and Anko.

 

[Honord Sage]

Every Normal Male and Female is driven by Natural forces in Nature to procreated and pass on His and Her geneses is Natural to al organism. Make no difference if its Human or Mouse.

 

[Holy Cross]

They can either have a love interest with a main character or just be 100% irrelevant. Choose.

 

[Tobi98]

Mito X hashirama
Sakura X (naruto/sasuke/lee/patient/some other guy)
Tsunade X (dan/jariyah)

They are strong

Mito's role was being Kurama's jin not being Hashi's love

Tsunade's role was being Hokage and Sannin not being Dan's love (if anything it's reverse)

Sakura... my point stands xd

 

[Umari Senju]

Kushina - Naruto's mom- love intrest of Minato

Konan - Antagonist- love interest of Yahiko/Nagato

Tenten - non-existant- Hasn't really said it but she was definately into Neji

Hinata - Love interest

Sakura - Protagonist/Maincharacter + Love interest

Temari - Gaara's sister -Love tension to Shikamaru?

Kurenai - Sensei -Love interest of Asuma (she had his baby for crying out loud)

I'm sure there are more but not that i can remember. So nah, not all. Far from it.

The OP didn't say anything about being weak, just that they are love interests to someone and he is right. It's something that isn't just found in Naruto. There are a lot of comics and Manga that do this. It does draw in a wider audience by doing this. Some people like the love interest angle. Doesn't mean that this is their sole function nor a major one, but it is prevalent.

Kushima - minato love interest
Konan - yahiko love interest
Ten ten - neji love intrest though it was only played off like 1 time.
Kutenai - Asuma love intrest
Temari - Shikamaru love intrest
Hinata - Naruto love intrest
Ino - Sasuke love intrest
Tsunade - dan love intrest
There is a lot more but I can't think of them right now, so yes.

Kishi said Temari is not a love interest for Shikamaru. There is no evidence whatsoever for NejixTenten.
