Why do you think ten ten is no fun? I think she's under rated though..Kishimoto doesn't feature girls much except Tsunade ,Sakura and Temari since its shounen. Kishi must be fund of boys laugh
Kishi is male, therefore it is probably easier for him to write from a boy's perspective.

Going back to the mind set, Temari understands what it means to be a Shinobi. Shinobi are tools for a village. It's true that friendship means a lot to everyone, but village first.
I know that this is off-topic, but the story never gives a clear definition for "shinobi", like it does for chakra and of the different ninja ranks and abilities. The story itself is defining what a real shinobi is. Is it village, friends, or self first? In that case, maybe Hinata is a better shinobi than Temari. (But personally, I don't exactly like Hinata.)
I wish that the story would pick up a bit faster now. We're only seeing Sasuke because he's the important character at the moment.
And I can't help but feel Sasuke to be incredibly over-powered and Naruto to be incredibly under-powered with a three year time difference.
