There's only one question I'd like to ask and it's this: why the heck is 95% of the woman population within the Narutoverse completely and utterly fucking useless? There are tons of female characters who really could have so much more but are utterly useless. To name a few: There's probably more people I can't remember offhand, but these ones came to mind.
 * Ino: The only technique she has is mind control. Other than that, she can do healing techniques but not as well as Sakura. Also, in the "Three Tails arc", she was shown to be easily distracted and doesn't have the same fine-tuned chakra control that others have. Due to her complete lack of "offensive" techniques, anyone who excels in close combat would probably take her down easily.
 * Tenten: All she can do is summon weapons... great, if your opponent is a kid. Other than that, everyone can dodge her attacks and take her down in basically one hit, as Temari did during the preliminary rounds in Part 1. Even in later battles, she went down pretty quickly.
 * Kin Tsuchi: She basically did shit all. In her skirmish in Exam 2, she showed no techniques at all. In the expanded battle in the anime, all she could do was throw senbon that uttered a particular note, but she was easily killed off. She was literally a background character to make for a team of three.
