Fanart and Olympics: The Excitement of Naruto’s Female Characters in 2024

The Naruto series boasts one of the most diverse and captivating female ensembles in the world of shonen anime. Despite the devoted followings of many of these characters, there continues to be a lack of media representation for them.

Despite some complaints from fans, both the Naruto and Boruto stories have received criticism for not giving enough attention to the female characters. One recurring topic in discussions about the female characters from Naruto is the ongoing criticism and animosity towards Sakura, which has persisted since the series’ conclusion.

The 2024 Olympics have recently begun, and a fan has utilized the event to showcase their fan art featuring female characters from Naruto engaging in various sports. While this fan art has yet to gain widespread recognition among Naruto enthusiasts, it has received numerous positive reactions and commendations from those who have come across it.

“I thought of Tenten in gymnastics, since she always makes some beautiful moves when she uses the scrolls in fights,”one fan mentioned.

“INO SURFER OMG SHE IS SO GOOD,”another fan said.

One fan also noted that Sasuke and Naruto’s abilities would make them well-suited for archery and skateboarding. Despite the lack of recent media coverage for Naruto, some fans have proposed that the fandom should shift its attention to creating fan art like this rather than spreading negative comments about specific characters.
