Conclusion

Unlike most mangas and anime which use the female characters as a fanservice, Naruto uses its female characters as a plot device and uses them within the story in an impactful way.

That doesn’t mean there is no fanservice in Naruto, but the fanservice does not take the centre stage when it comes to all the female characters. Naruto’s creator, Masashi Kisimoto has done a great job at using all the female characters in the show and manga in a respectful way. Each female character in Naruto is a complex, multifaceted, round character. Audiences have loved all of these characters, some more than the rest but it was because of the story they told and the emotion they showed.
