Here is everything you need to know about the coolest female characters in Naruto.

Hinata Hyuga

Hinata Hyuga is best remembered for her charming dandere personality and her wholesome love story with Naruto Uzumaki. But there’s more to her than that. Hinata didn’t believe in herself at first and wasted her natural talent, then had a massive glow-up after Naruto spoke some kind words to her.

Hinata became much cooler in Naruto Shippuden when she was older, stronger, and more confident as a gentle but determined kunoichi who looked up to Naruto. Her best moment was when she stood up to Pain himself to defend Naruto and proclaim her love for her role model.

Kurenai Yuhi

Kurenai Yuhi is Team 8’s Jonin leader, and she is strict but fair as their protector and guide. Similar to Kakashi Hatake, her Team 7 counterpart. Kurenai is also a Genjutsu specialist who can create highly convincing plant-based illusions to trap her foes, aside from Itachi.

Kurenai is popular because of her tough, motherly personality and her unwavering professionalism as a Leaf kunoichi who won’t hesitate to take on the Akatsuki or other foes. Over time, she faded into the background, and now her daughter, Mirai, is a rising star.

Tsunade

The slug princess Tsunade was introduced as a heartbroken and lost woman. She had abandoned all hope for herself and the future, and she also scorned Naruto’s lofty dreams. Then Tsunade’s tragedies came to light, and she became more sympathetic as someone who had lost a brother and a lover.

Tsunade stepped up as the Leaf Village’s next Hokage. Aiding Jiraiya in the battle against Orochimaru before assuming the responsibility of leadership. Tsunade is also famed for her incredible medical jutsu and her overwhelming taijutsu. Most of all, her iron will and her unshakable faith in all her fellow villagers against foes like Pain.

Temari

Temari is the oldest of the sand siblings, and she uses powerful air-based jutsu as per her homeland’s natural element. In battle, Temari is highly impressive and formidable with her oversized fan and razor-sharp air blades. She can even summon a weasel with similar abilities.

Temari is one of Naruto’s best kunoichi with her charming tsundere personality, her stylish jutsu, and her story arc of going from an unfriendly rival to a trustworthy friend and even Shikamaru Nara’s lover. She and Kankuro both support their younger brother, Gaara, more than ever, making Temari a true big sister at last.
