Today, I picked 7 female characters that I believe would make Shippuden more thrilling, and perhaps more interesting if they were given more of a chance to shine in battle.
1.Karui
Judging from her personality, Karui seems brawny; she’s very brave and expresses a tough demeanor, but her strength has not been put to any use yet, except for knocking sense into her teammate Omoi, which is nothing
but comedic relief. It gets annoying after a little while.
2.Kurenai
This one’s done absolutely nothing. Okay, well, there was that time in the first series when she was present in that Kurama filler, and that other time when she & Asuma fought Itachi & Kisame, but she only made one move
and it failed. She’s a sensei, yet she’s the only one who had hasn't proven her full potential to us. What's more, she has an ocular jutsu that’s forever a mystery. (at some point we see her father with the same eyes, so it must be a kekkei genkai). Well,
she’s pregnant so it’s too late, but I wanted to see what those eyes were made of.
3.Karin
When Karin was first introduced, I thought she was going to be sort of a force to be reckoned with. I actually kept this notion until the time Sasuke fought with Danzo.When Sasuke deemed her useless, this idea that
–because of her strong ability to sense the presence of chakra and transmit it to others– she was strong completely dissolved. I mean, what was she doing just standing there? Could she have attempted to help Sasuke? Yes. It probably would have backfired, but
at least we'd know she has some guts. She's just tsundere with nothing much going for her.
4.Anko
Anko was seen in battle a few times, but she’s been knocked down without much hardship. She works as part of a staff under the hokage, and she leads dangerous missions, so obviously she’s highly skilled. She can do better.
5.Hana & Tsume Inuzuka
I really like Hana and Tsume Inuzuka. These two are very minor characters who are part of Kiba’s family. Hana’s the older sister and Tsume is the mother. We’ve seen little of them, being so minor and all, but I wish
their presence was as common as Ino, Choji and Shikamaru's parents. Generally, I'd like to see members of the Inuzuka clan use more than just
Fang Rotating Fang, or Double-Headed Wolf.
6.Shizune
Shizune’s abilities were revealed in the first series in a confrontation with Orochimaru & Kabuto. She’s a medical nin who seems to specialize in poison techniques. I love that she thinks fast and acts quick, and I would
have liked to see what she’s fully capable of in battle that time with Orochimaru & Kabuto.
7.Konan
After the Pain arc, it was expected that Madara would battle Konan to the death over Nagato’s Rinnegan. It would have been interesting if she had survived somehow and contributed to the war. Her status as a highly skilled
shinobi was well represented but I wanted more of her. Her jutsu was so unique! In my opinion, she should have joined the Allied Shinobi Force.
