Remember how Naruto tells Neji how he will become Hokage and change Hyuuga for him... His gateway to that may just be getting with Hinata, that makes him king of Hyuuga and Hokage all in one... I can definitely see that happening

Yeah, that's what I think is gonna happen too, gokundagreat.
Hotsuma and XwingRob, all I've got to say is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. I hope you are joking, or I forsee several nights on the couch in your future!
As for the girls, you have to remember that the characters, especially the newbies taking the exam are preteens or early teenagers. Girls at that age generally tend to have crushes and act momentarily braindead. Just like guys are out to prove that they are the best and are ready to kick the world's collective @$$. Most of the time the feelings tone down, though sometimes they change completely. Like you who were ragging on Sakura's obsession with Sasuke, you'll notice she's calmed down. She held a fairly normal conversation with him in the last episode. While she still has an idol-worship complex, she's matured somewhat. I personally don't see her as having the patience right now to deal with kids, so I don't think she'd be a good teacher. She has a wide working knowledge, so I see her as a great backup ninja in a fight. She thinks fast on her feet, but if she's far enough away to observe the actions, she'll quickly figure the jutsu out and come up with a counterattack.
I agree that Hinata will be a teacher. She seems to be able to empathize with struggling children. Plus, if she's crushing on Naruto, she's got to have patience in spades. With her Byakkagan (sp?), she'd make a pretty good fighter, but I don't think her heart's really in it.(I think she's got paternal pressure on her.) She'll be a good teacher for her children, and she'd be a good defender if someone threatened someone she cared about, but I don't see her as a long-term ninja.
Since I don't know much about TenTen and Temari, I cannot say much. I don't think the anime gave a very good view of either character. It was more of an in-passing type glance at the characters. Both are fairly confident, and appear to be hard-working (TenTen's pushed by Gai--nuff said there, Temari is being pushed to excel and works with Gaara, so I imagine it'd be tough there too). I think they could make it in a fairly male-dominated ninja society, but I don't know if it would be their job.
Ino is fairly advanced, and she is a born leader. Her takeover of the leadership role of her team is apparant. Granted, neither Choji nor Shikamaru argued with her, but she also orchestrates the attack combinations. With her advanced mind-control jutsu, she is skilled enough to be a formidable opponent. I could see her heading a team of her own in the future.
Those are my speculations at least.
i was using this girl as a footstool one time. she kept moving around, though.
anyway, i think we should do a battle royal with the females of naruto. it'd be interesting.
Heres the way i see it. Most of the female ninjas where setup in bad match ups even the adults. Lets look at it on a case by case basis.
Ten Ten: She fought temari, temari's abilities entirely contradict ten ten abilities. Ten Ten i agree would be an excellent support fighter range control and area affect attacks. She doesn't get much time on screen so theres not much else to say.
Hinata: She fought Neji, whos shes deathly terrified which puts her at a major setback. If you don't think your gonna win your not gonna win. She also has almost naruto quality gumption and stamina, there not many charcters that could take on neji in that tourny.
Ino: All things considered shes a great fighter and leader. Too overwill someone as resolute and gain the respect of someone like Shikamaru is pretty impressive. (He could let her lead because hes too lazy but still) As she gains expierence she'll get much better im thinking. She fought Sakura her best friend, fighting someone who knows you that well is hard.
Sakura: Sakura's not had so much great luck in the fighting dept but has alot of talent and fought her best friend who knows her very well bad match up. But her will power is enough to overpower shinteshin no jutsu. Not to mention shes almost certainly Tsunade student. Tsunade being the most powerful of the sennin as stated in the manga. Sakura's foreshadowed potential is pretty great.
Anko: The one time we saw Anko in action she fought her teacher Orochimaru the person who taught her most of what she knew also not exactly a good match up. Nothing much to say reguarding ankos charcter.
Kurenai: the one time we saw her fight she fought Itachi. Itachi is the strongest charcter short of Jairya and Tsunade that we know of. Can't be that bad of a charcter is shes a jounin.
In short the male charcters male be at present more powerful then the females. However if kishimoto wants to develop all the charcters and not kill them as he seems to, then i imagine the females will be playing a much larger role in the future.
