I'd say naruto is refreshing in the aspect. Not all women are valkyrie superdikes. In fact most are not. In real life, men are the expendable types designed for fighting and dying. |

Im pretty sure after this chapter they are older then Naruto Sasuke and Sakura.
I had my doubts first but they are definitly 14~15. It's close tho, Kakashi is now 27 - (at least) 12 years = 15, most likely 14 then since I don't think Konoha was at war at the time the Kyubi appeared. Offcourse this current war could be over pretty fast. It could go either way. Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious that Obito Kakashi and Rin are drawn a tad older then the current team 7.

Also she *is* better than them at genjutsu. I havent seen anything to suggest they have worse stealth or judgement at all. (the characters with the worst judgement seem to be male, and Tsunade seems to have the best perhaps) I would say the show is pretty fair and realistic about that. I guess you wont be happy unless wonder-kunoichi shows up and beats down the chauvinistic male ninja's from the village of the hidden pig. |

Actually it is ironic on itself that you can understand the female's to be worse at taijutsu while the physically strongest person in the series is a female. Naruto is not that unbalanced, Strong woman: Kurenai Ten Ten Hinata (Yes I consider ten ten and Hinata "strong" that is to say they are only genin's but both are full of potential, the fact that they don't take down the likes of Kabuto is simply because they are not the main characters.) Shizune Tsunade Temari Tatuya Anko Weak woman however, Sakura(getting better) Ino (since she drawed against Sakura ) Honestly the percentage of weak vs. strong under the woman is far in favor of the strong woman. There are just more men, but also more weak men. I believe the idea you get about woman being just crybabies is solely Sakura's doing. She get's the most airtime of all the girls in the series. And does little more then crying, pampering Sasuke, putting flowes in a vase, and practically being weak. Other then that, it's cool you stand up for woman. Quote:
It could be a new war. It just struck me odd that Konoha was in the midst of a war when Kyubi appeared, they lost countless men, including their Hokage, and still didn't lose the war.

But anyway it was said that the cloud village was warring with Konoha for many years before they signed the alliance treaty. The attack of the Kyubi probably badly weakened Konoha, as Orochimaru's attack or as the current situation of the Gaiden. Weakened but strong enough not to be annihilated. |

Umm... it has been said in the manga that Sakura is a natural for genjutsu. Sasuke has shown nothing that would suggest he is good at genjutsu. No one has said he is... he has not used any genjutsu moves... nothing. He only saw through genjutsu... but that does not mean that he is good at genjutsu. |

Lol, there've only been a few fights that girls won, and there's only been one fight when a girl actually beat a guy, and that was when Tsunade beat Orochimaru, and that's it. And what did the author decide to make Tsunade's most distinguishing feature? What do fans best remember her by? Her strength? Her medical ability? S(o)meH(o)w I don't think so. Oh, and what else has the author taught the youth of Japan about Konoha's strongest female, that someone so powerful and such an icon for the girl ninjas is so obsessed about her looks that she uses a special jutsu to deceive others about her true age. Quote:
As to Sakura being a natural... it's sorta like this. Sasuke takes a ninja test, and he scores a one hundred in everything--ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. No one would single out his genjutsu abilities--they'd just say he's a genius, which is what they've done in the manga. Sakura takes the same test, scores 50 in ninjutsu and taijutsu, and an 80 in genjutsu. Therefore one might say she's a natural there, but she's still inferior.
