Naruto: Shippuden: Hyuga Hinata

Inspired by Naruto's confidence and determination, Hinata's infatuation over him affects her training in a good way as she tries her best to win his attention by continually improving her skills and helping him out. While Hinata is hesitant to openly admit her feelings for him, almost everyone else knows about it. In Shippuden, she finally confesses her love to Naruto while protecting him from Pain, but there has been no follow up to her confession as of yet.

Fantastic cosplay by Brazilian cosplayer, LolytaChan! Whoever said cosplay was only for the Japanese can eat their hearts out. Thanks to Miranda for sending this in!

Naruto: Shippuden: Karin

Highly skilled in chakra-sensing, Karin appears to have 2 dynamic personalities, often times fluctuating from one to the next. She appears tough and in control around Suigetsu and Jugo, yet becomes extremely flirtatious with Sasuke. She used to be Orochimaru's assistant during his experimentations, but now has an unhealthy obsession over Sasuke.

I think he hair needs to be a little more unkempt on one side, but she does look like she's flirting with Sasuke in this photo. Nice cosplaying!

Naruto: Shippuden: Uchiha Sasuke

When cosplayer Darren sent me an email of his photo as Uchiha Sasuke from Naruto: Shippuden, I have to say I was quite impressed. This is his third cosplay in two years, and he wore this in Perth’s Waicon, Western Australia. I love how in character he is  in his expression and pose.

Keep up the awesome work, Darren! I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more great cosplays from you!

Naruto: Shippuden: Haruno Sakura

The proficient, medical ninja of Team 7, Sakura used to sit in the sidelines, allowing others to fight her battles for her. She learns early on that this was unwise and begins to reconsider her actions, strengthening her resolve to become a better ninja from then on.

Under Tsunade's apprenticeship, she learns to use her chakra to heal wounds and build her chakra in her fists, giving her superhuman strength.

I really like how Sakura has developed into such a strong and beautiful character. I guess she's still highly infatuated with Sasuke, but I wonder if she'll ever return Naruto's feelings for her? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Beautiful cosplay though!

Naruto: Shippuden: Tenten

The only female member in Team Guy, Tenten specializes in many different types of weaponry raging from projectiles to close combat. She also has the ability to summon hundreds of weapons to attack her opponent simultaneously with pinpoint accuracy. At one point in the first season, she uses her techniques to help Hyuga Neji strengthen his defensive techniques. He is probably the only one who can block all of her attacks.

I actually like her costume in Shippuden than in the first season of Naruto. This photo was taken by Tony Quan, but since I found this in another site and not his own, I’m not sure how to properly credit it. But thanks for the photo!

EDIT: Thanks to Chibified Kitsunes for pointing me to Chuwei's Deviant Art!
