@Friend:
Pretty awesome way to die though. BTW you forgot about Tayuya of the sound 5. Tsunade counts as badass also, although I sense that comment will spark off debate. You did say current female characters so debate on what I said would be logical.
Tsunades "performance" during Pains invasion, which was ultimately rendered irrelevant since Nagato ressurected everyone anyway, cost her quite a few coolness points. Naturally its no fault of hers, she was cool in the search for Tsunade arc, but Kishi screwed her over.
As for Tayuya, she accomplished nothing and is dead. Killed by one of the few other non-gimped women in the series, Tenmari.
As for Konans "dream", the point is that its so subservient, so housewife-like. No ambitions of her own or anything, just, "I must support the men!" And what a bang-up job she did, being taking hostage so Yahiko was killed, being useless against Jiraya and doing shit except nagging Nagato during the Konoha invasion.
Only now that those she supported are dead does Kishi allow her to do anything.
