You must have observed every squad in Naruto of the present and even of the past(Kakashi's, Tsunade's) have the same Gender Ratio 2:1. What is the reason??
Gender
was not taken into account when creating a squad, except in as much as was
needed to prevent intra-squad rivalries.
Squads
were formed on the basis of complementary fighting styles or skill sets.
Naruto's
squad was formed by adding in Saske (to balance the immensely powerful but
relatively unskilled Naruto) and Sakura was brought in because she was highly
intelligent and there was a romantic triangle angle in the trio that would
encourage all of them to excel (in an attempt to gain the attention of the
object of their affection).
The
2:1 ratio was not uncommon, but was not universal, either. It's likely that the
ratio of Ninja in leaf village (and possibly others) was close to 2:1, as well
- if this is the case, it would nicely account for the large number of teams
which respected the ratio.
Out of universe, it's a combination of narrative necessity and sexism.
