Hinata Hyuga

Hinata Hyuga (日向ヒナタ, Hyūga Hinata^?) is a character from the manga and anime Naruto, created by the mangaka Masashi Kishimoto and belonging to the main branch of the Hyūga Clan. His name means 'a sunny place' (ヒナタ, Hinata^? ). This name also follows the clan custom of including a kana of the Gojūon (ha (ハ), hi (ヒ), fu (フ), he (ヘ), or ho (ホ)) and his last name means 'towards the sun' (日向, Hyūga^?) and is also the name of a city in Japan. Hinata is currently the mother of two children and the wife of Naruto Uzumaki Seventh Hokage.

In both the manga and the anime, Hinata is a kunoichi from the Hidden Leaf Village and is part of "Team 8", made up of her teammates: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and their leader and sensei, Kurenai Yūhi

Creation and Conception

The successor techniques of the Hyūga family that this character possesses are based on Chinese martial arts that are based on combat techniques that handle smooth movements, such as Nei chia, Tai Chi Chuan and Hsing I Chuan. This type of martial art places emphasis on "internal power", to the detriment of "external power", tending to accentuate a circular redirection that seeks to control the force of the opponent instead of facing force. against force. Thus, these martial arts are a possible origin of the fighting style of the Hyūga Clan, based on the Jūken (Soft Fist). Finally, his fighting style is similar to Pa Kua Chang and his techniques handle the philosophical concept of the Heavenly Circle of Eight Symbols .

History

Past

As the eldest daughter of Hiashi Hyūga, the head of the Hyūga clan, Hinata was the next heir to the main branch of the Hyūga Clan. She began to train with her father from the age of 3 in the most basic techniques of the family, such as the fighting style based on Jūken (soft or gentle fist), but it turned out to be too weak for her age. her. However, her position as a member of the main branch made her a highly prized target for the other ninja villages, who were eager to learn all the secrets of the clan and if it was possible to obtain the Byakugan, to use them to their advantage in case of a conflict. war with the Hidden Leaf Village. Thus, Hinata would get involved in a kidnapping attempt one night while she was sleeping, but her father who was watching that night would show up to rescue her and ends up killing her kidnapper in the process, who was actually a ninja from the Hidden Village of Clouds and above all, he was one of the representatives that the Country of Lightning had sent to sign a peace treaty with the Hidden Leaf Village.

As a result of this incident, the Village Hidden in the Clouds would not accept the justification for said murder and therefore, relations between the two countries began to deteriorate rapidly, putting both villages "at the gates& #34; of a new war. Since the Village Hidden in the Leaf did not want a new confrontation, they decided to renegotiate a new peace treaty in which the Village Hidden in the Clouds demanded the corpse of the murderer, as compensation for the crime committed. The effect of this would be the sacrifice of Hiashi Hyūga's twin brother, who belongs to the secondary branch, Hizashi Hyūga, in order to protect the clan's combat secrets and at the same time prevent the Byakugan from ending up in enemy hands, all due to because Hizashi wears the cursed seal of the main branch of the clan, which once he dies his Byakugan will be sealed forever and in this way the Village Hidden in the Clouds would not obtain anything from his corpse, as a result of this sacrifice, Hizashi's son, Neji Hyūga would profess enormous hatred and resentment towards the main branch of the clan for this fact, including his cousin Hinata.

After that incident, Hinata would continue training with her father for several years until one day, he would judge her as a "lost cause", considering that her ability of combat was much inferior to that of her sister Hanabi Hyūga who was five years younger than her and would leave her in the care of her teacher Kurenai Yūhi.

Part One

Hinata appears again along with her team in the Chūnin promotion exam, among which would also be Naruto Uzumaki, he himself thinks that "She is very strange, whenever I look at her, she looks away from me. She is very shy and a bit bland. the exam answers without being discovered by the censoring ninjas around), who asks him why he wants to help him, to which he timidly tells him that it is so that he does not have to leave the exam soon and be all the rookies together, however when Naruto is about to start copying Hinata's written exam, immediately a shuriken passes very close to them and they witness how one of the ninja censors had discovered that one of the participants from another village was copying someone else's exam and was forced together with his teammates to abandon the written exam with a failing grade of the exam. After the tremendous scare, Hinata asked Naruto to hurry up and copy the answers of his written exam, but despite the offer, Naruto decides not to cheat Hinata's exam, since if they were both caught cheating, they would get into trouble. serious problems and both her and her classmates would be forced to fail the written exam, like Naruto's classmates in the last instance and ask him to do his best, at that moment Hinata begins to be a little surprised by Naruto's response, indicating that he was concerned about his well-being and decided to stop insisting, so he decided to continue with the written exam. After so much effort, he manages to pass the written exam, supported by Naruto's invincible determination, during the dilemma of the tenth question posed by tester Ibiki Morino. Furthermore, during the test in the Forest of Death, Team 8 would be the second to finish it after Gaara's Team, Temari and Kankurō, from whom they observed, in a combat that they had with Shinobis of the Hidden Rain Village, the murderous and bloodthirsty instinct they possess, especially Gaara, to the point that Hinata and his team of they came to fear for their lives for a moment.

In preliminary bouts, she was paired to fight her cousin Neji Hyūga, who, over time, had accumulated much hatred and resentment towards the Sōke (Main Branch) to which she belonged. she. Before the match, Neji would try to persuade her to give up without a fight, based on her belief in fatalism. He would tell her, among other things, that the only reason he had decided to take the exam was to help his classmates Kiba and Shino take the exam, even against their will, given the mandatory requirement of training for a student. group of three ninjas for access to the exam, even though she would reply that she entered with the aim of testing herself to improve. Likewise, he would "read", with his Byakugan, the movement of Hinata's eyes and body to show her that, deep in her soul, she knew that she was going to lose the fight.. This intimidation, which fulfilled the objective of unbalancing and mentally collapsing the first-born of the head of the Hyūga Clan, would be countered by the verbal support of Naruto, who urges Hinata to defeat Neji so that he would stop drawing definitive conclusions about the people who surround. That voice of encouragement would make her react, accepting the fight to start with determination, to the surprise of her rival.

Despite the foregoing, during the fight Neji's combative superiority would become apparent, which would leave Hinata in a state of inability to execute ninja techniques and with serious heart damage, the product of a Jūken blow; however, she would refuse to give up as long as the person she most admired in her, Naruto, was watching her. Finally, Neji, annoyed by Hinata's determination and for having shown that he was the one who suffered the most due to the rivalry between the main and secondary branches, but Neji for his part does not agree with this comment from his cousin. and tries to kill her, but before landing the final blow, he is quickly subdued by the jōnin Hayate Gekkō, Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yūhi, and Might Guy at the last second, where Neji's own sensei quickly represses him and mentions that he is leaving. calm down and don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. After the encounter, Naruto runs to see the terrible state in which Hinata had ended up, becoming unconscious in the process and his sensei Kurenai, fearing that Hinata's condition will worsen further, asks the medical ninjas to rush her to the hospital in the village, but also silently congratulating Hinata's progress, Naruto upon being insulted by Neji for supporting her, vowed to avenge his defeat.

Hinata would recover a month later and walking through the training grounds of the village, she would coincidentally meet Naruto, who was on his way to the stadium for his confrontation in the final fights against Neji Hyūga, although with hesitations about his chances for defeat him. In the conversation they would have, Naruto would confess his doubts about whether his strength was an example for her to follow, believing that it was just a reflection of his apparent rudeness to hide his frustration at his failures, and Hinata would reply that he was a loser. proud that he always failed only to get up and persevere until he achieved his goals, this being the true source of his great power and potential. Naruto would appreciate those words and would ask her to go, as a spectator, to see how she defeated the genius of the Hyūga Clan.

During said combat, in which she would go to the stadium accompanied by Kiba, the superiority of skills that Neji would display over Naruto would fill Hinata with anguish and tension, which would make her relapse into her heart condition, revealing that her injuries were not of the same kind. all healed having to be quickly attended by Kabuto Yakushi, who at that time, was disguised as a member of the ANBU to participate in the invasion plan to the Hidden Leaf Village, planned by Orochimaru and the Hidden Sand Village, finally Kabuto, who despite being in the place for another purpose manages to heal Hinata's injuries 100% and Kiba for his part decides to take her home to rest, but also because Kabuto decided to heal Hinata, he is still a mystery. In this way, Hinata would miss out on Naruto's surprise victory over her cousin Neji of hers, however her younger sister Hanabi of hers would later tell Hinata what she missed.

Once the daily life of the village resumed after the invasion and she had finally recovered from her injuries, Hinata would be seen at her father's house serving tea to him and his cousin Neji, who were training, showing that father and daughter had reconciled as he recognized the important advances she had made, both in skill and personality.

The next day Naruto tells Kiba that he saw a super beautiful girl at the waterfall, but Kiba mentions to Naruto that what he saw must have been a dream. At that moment Hinata begins to believe that Naruto recognized her that night while she was training naked in the waterfall and was embarrassed to the point that her face turned completely red, reaching the point of almost fainting, although fortunately she did not do so and managed to calm down. During those trainings Hinata develops her best jutsu up to that moment, "Eight Trigrams 64 Protective Palms", a jutsu that even Neji would envy. Shortly after she is kidnapped and during the rest of the mini-saga, her companions try to free her, but in the end, she herself manages to escape and heroically save her companions using her new jutsu, but the search for the Bikochu is unsuccessful due to a carelessness of Naruto.

In the three years since, Hinata has reached the rank of Chūnin, just like her teammates, and the distance hasn't changed her feelings for Naruto. Later, given her search ability and location on the ground, she would be chosen along with Kiba and Shino to join the group of 8 people who would search for Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, teaming up with Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Kakashi and Yamato. During the planning for that mission, it is also suggested that she already knows the secret about Naruto and Kurama that he harbors inside her. She, within the team of eight, faced Tobi, from the Akatsuki Organization but he escaped.

Attack and destruction of the Leaf Village at the hands of Akatsuki

During Pain's assault on the Hidden Leaf Village, Hinata is seen along with an injured member of her clan, watching from a distance the battle that takes place between Naruto and Pain; just at the moment the Akatsuki captures Naruto, burying several black metal stakes in his hands and then in the rest of his body to leave him completely immobilized on the ground, just as Pain was preparing to take Naruto to his lair, Hinata quickly interferes. in the fight and pulls Pain away from Naruto at that moment, Naruto quickly asks her to run away quickly, since she has no chance against Pain and that is when Hinata tells Naruto that he is being selfish and wants to fight since he taught him to see life in a correct way and finally declares his love to Naruto. Hinata quickly activates her Byakugan and prepares to attack Pain, but instead of attacking him directly, she begins to break the black stakes that keep Naruto immobilized on the ground, however Pain, oblivious to what she is doing, attacks her. quickly with a Shinra Tensei. But instead of giving up, Hinata decides to use her jutsu: Twin Lions Double Fist Smooth Step to counterattack him back, hitting him hard in the face, just at the moment Nagato's connection with Pain's body had broken. disconnected for a few seconds, a moment that Hinata takes advantage of to finish breaking the other black stakes that were missing, but just when she is about to do so, Pain loses patience and attacks her again with another Shinra Tensei, leaving her badly injured. Minutes later Hinata wakes up from the strong impact and tries to get closer to Naruto, who begs him to get away from the place, but Hinata does not listen and approaches Naruto, Pain immediately tells him that because even though he is about to die he continues to resist and Hinata responds the same phrase that Naruto once told him: "I will not give up and go back on my word, since that is my ninja way". Then before Naruto's terrifying and powerless gaze, Pain throws Hinata into the air and crashes her violently to the ground and plunges one of the black stakes into her, hinting to Naruto that he killed her, but really only seriously injured her; However, some things in this combat occur in a very different way than in the manga, than in the same anime, where, in addition, in the middle of a confrontation with Pain according to the anime, a flashback reveals that shortly before entering the Ninja Academy, Naruto her She defended herself from some children who attacked her. Due to her personality, Hinata was never able to thank Naruto, as her bodyguard immediately took her away from him, a fact she regretted for a long time.

Hinata's supposed death causes Naruto to become enraged to such a degree that he loses control of himself and ends up transforming into his 4-tailed version of Kurama and frees himself from the black stakes that Pain had placed on him earlier and in full force. rage attack begins to destroy everything in its path, as his rage increases further during the fight with Pain. In the middle of combat, Naruto undergoes a new transformation and this time releases the 6-tailed version of Kurama, also removing part of the skeleton of the tailed beast in said transformation, even causing enormous problems for Pain due to his speed and power. While this was happening, Hinata who despite being badly injured was still worried about Naruto. Right at the climax of the fight, Naruto was about to completely release Kurama's 9 tails, because if that happened Naruto would be completely possessed by the fox (since Naruto only needed to spiritually release the seal, but the spirit of his father, Minato Namikaze would quickly prevent this from happening and restore the seal again). Finally and thanks to Minato's spiritual intervention in his subconscious, Naruto regains consciousness, but this time using what was left of his toad senjutsu and quickly realizes what he had done unconsciously and worries that he has killed the others. villagers and Hinata while he was transformed into the fox, but Katsuyu's clone informs him that fortunately no one was hurt during his Kurama transformation, on the other hand the Guy team arrives where Hinata is and Tenten checks Hinata's wound and informs Hinata Neji to locate a medic-nin as quickly as possible, as Hinata was still alive, though she is at risk of dying if she is not attended to by a medic-nin quickly. After this, she is healed by Sakura, who sadly leaves. He realizes that the reason Hinata is in these conditions is out of love for Naruto. After recovering, the news that Naruto had beaten Pain comes through Katsuyu. When Naruto returns, Hinata is seen crying with excitement.

Fourth Great Ninja War

After Obito Uchiha declares war at the meeting of the 5 kages, the Great Shinobi Alliance is formed in which Hinata is assigned as a member of the alliance's Second Division along with Neji, Kurotsuchi and Karui. She commented that she was a bit nervous, while Karui told her that the war was nothing to worry about. However, she instantly realizes that some ninjas don't trust each other because they were previously enemies.

Your team is later sent to a region where the White Zetsu Army is traveling underground. When Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi use their technique to knock the Zetsus out of the ground, she and Neji attack simultaneously with a Eight Trigrams Void Wall Palm (八卦空壁掌, Hakke Kūhekishō^?). Later she is seen saving her cousin from being attacked by one of the Zetsus. As night falls, she joins the surveillance shinobi and uses her Byakugan to detect possible enemies. In manga 615 when Obito launches an attack towards Naruto with wooden stakes using the Ten Tails, Hinata quickly stands in front of Naruto in order to use his body as a shield, but just as he is about to die, his cousin Neji in the At the last second he sacrifices himself using his body, to prevent his cousin and Naruto from dying, after seeing Neji die, Obito tries to take advantage of the pain to make Naruto enter a state of emotional despair and make him give up once and for all. all, saying that he can't protect his friends no matter how much he says or tries, then Hinata gives him a few words of encouragement. Naruto thanks Hinata saying: << My life is not the only one... It is thanks to the fact that you have stayed by my side>> and at the same time Naruto is heard <<Thanks to you too Neji >>. Naruto holds Hinata's hand to increase her chakra (which was part of a plan made by Shikaku Nara), Hinata with Kurama's chakra already composed prevents a new Jubii attack to later be accompanied by the rest of the hyuga clan.

Hinata shows her amazement at Kurama's chakra that had surrounded her and even more so at the fact that Naruto was actually in contact with the chakra. Seeing that, Obito sends the beast to attack to prevent Naruto from continuing to distribute his chakra to the Alliance, but the attack is intercepted by Hinata who uses the Eight Trigrams Void Palm, deflecting one of the beast's arms that was heading towards her and Naruto, a feat that surprised her father who expressed his concern that the simple form of the technique had produced such a powerful effect. She saw Lee mourning Neji's death and heard about how Obito tried to discredit his beliefs to no avail. Hinata launches the attack along with Naruto and the other ninjas of the Shinobi Alliance when they use the Phoenix Bird formation when noticing the discomfort in Naruto's shoulder, he uses his Gentle Fist to heal the dislocation allowing him to carry out his attack, but the beast with Cola recovers and attacks them. She is unharmed from Obito and Madara's attack thanks to the chakra cloak that Naruto had given them.

After Obito performs the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, Hinata watches with her Byakugan to get a better picture of the situation. Hinata confirms that the Ten-Tailed Beast was completely absorbed by Obito, confirming that Obito is the new jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails. Later, after seeing that Obito was hit with the Black Light Arrow's Burn Element: Gale Swirl, Sakura asks Hinata if she can see Naruto and Sasuke. Hinata replies that they are both smiling. With the situation looking bleak as the Alliance was trapped in a barrier with a tree-firing tailed ball beast, Hinata and the other shinobi soon found themselves wrapped in the previous Version 1 cloaks again. He and the others subsequently found themselves on the outside of the barrier, escaping near-fatal attacks thanks to Naruto and Minato's action. He then tried to explain what had happened when a furious Kiba cursed that Naruto could pull off such a feat.

As Obito unleashes the final form of the Ten-Tails, the Shinju, his branches begin decimating the battlefield and absorbing the chakra of countless ninja, killing them. Hashirama Senju along with Ino Yamanaka have a linkage telepathically to try to rally them all so they wouldn't give up. While Hashirama's words fail to inspire anyone, Naruto's enhanced Senjutsu Tailed Beast Mode combined with Ino's telepathy causes her emotions and personal memories to be transferred to everyone. Hinata sympathizes with Naruto over the loss of Neji and later on watches in concern as Naruto joins Sasuke on the battlefield. She later watched as Shikamaru was resurrected as a result of the combined efforts of Sakura, Naruto, and Tsunade. She pointed out that she wanted to keep walking by Naruto's side so that she could continue to give herself full force.

Later, after Naruto and Sasuke combined their powers to form a nine-tailed fox, Hinata, along with the other members of the Konoha 11, with Sai replacing Sakura, entered the beast positioning themselves on each tail. with a Rasengan by shinobi. The shinobi simultaneously attacked Obito's shield to create an opening that would allow Naruto and Sasuke to momentarily defeat Obito. After that, she and her companions assisted Naruto in extracting the Tailed Beasts' chakra from Obito's body to stop Shinju's blossoming.

The return of Madara Uchiha

Later, Hinata and the rest of the Shinobi Alliance are confronted by Whirlpool Zetsu who controls a giant multi-handed statue with which he attacks enemies. As the Alliance deals with this threat, Kiba and Ino sense a change in Naruto through his senses. Hinata uses his Byakugan to get a better perspective and manages to see Naruto's heartbeat begin to slow, due to Madara's violent extraction of Kurama. Out of concern, Hinata quickened her pace towards the scene to help, but suddenly, having depleted all her chakra from using the Byakugan, she vanishes and fell to the ground, beginning to lose consciousness while asking for help. Neji to take care of Naruto.

Return of the Princess

Once Madara's plan is complete, he falls into the Infinite Tsukuyomi, where he begins to sprout multiple roots that trap him, taking his life force. Being inside the genjutsu, Hinata dreams of having a very lovey-dovey date with hers, her lover, Naruto, while her sister, Hanabi, and her cousin, Neji, spy on them.

After Naruto was able to defeat and reform Sasuke, Hinata along with the rest of the world were released from the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He later attended the funeral of his cousin Neji along with Naruto and the rest of the Konoha ninja to also bid farewell to other ninja fallen during the war.

Epilogue

Years passed after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata married Naruto and they had two children, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki. She has become a much more mature woman. Hinata understands her husband's situation as the seventh Hokage, and understands that he can't spend so much time with her and her children. Hinata has proven to be a loving and protective wife and mother. One day she and her daughter Himawari visited the grave of her cousin Neji Hyūga to bring him some Sunflowers, which were his favorite flowers. After placing them Himawari asked Hinata if he would be happy about that, her mother affirms this by saying that she had the same name as the flowers, this made Himawari happy who told him that next time she wanted to go with her brother her.

Appearance

Hinata has dark purple hair, and fair skin with a hint of paleness. She features of her that she inherited from her mother, in addition to the characteristic white eyes of the Hyuga Clan. These eyes are not common eyes, it is a Dojutsu called Byakugan which allows users to see the chakra points and networks inside the bodies of their opponents and to see everything around them in a very wide range of vision. amplified. In the first part of the story, Hinata maintains a constant shy expression, although in the second part of the story, this bit of shyness decreases in very serious situations (except when he is with Naruto).

In Part I, she has short hair, with two long bangs on the sides framing her face and straight bangs. She was dressed in a black shirt, navy blue pants, and a cream-colored jacket, with the symbol of fire on both sleeves and artificial fur around the cuffs and hem of the garment. After gaining her genin rank, she began wearing her ninja band around her neck.

In Part II, Hinata grows her hair down to the middle of her back and her figure is better developed by showing a more pronounced bust. The locks that frame her face still remain, but are longer due to the growth of her hair. After becoming a Chūnin, her clothing consists of a lavender and white jacket, as well as a black fishnet shirt, navy blue pants, and black sandals. Even though she still wears her ninja headband in the same place, the only difference from her is that the headband of her headband changed from blue to black.

In the Fourth Great Ninja War, he wears a tactical vest, but apparently does not use the official ninja band of the shinobi alliance.

Two years after the fourth shinobi world war, at the age of 18, Hinata has changed her previous wardrobe for one a little more revealing and comfortable for combat, she wears a dark lavender kimono-like sleeveless top, tied with a dark purple obi, in addition to navy blue shorts, translucent black leggings that reveal part of her thigh, she exchanged her sandals for long black boots. Hinata's hair also changed, becoming longer and more voluminous. Just like in the ninja war she stopped using the Konoha gang. When she's not on a mission she wears a long gray top under a pink T-shirt, black pants under a cream skirt, and a pair of sandals.

After falling under Toneri Ōtsutsuki's mind control. During her wedding ceremony, she wore a black bridal outfit, with long gloves and a black turban, along with other accessories.

When Hinata and Naruto got married, she wore a traditional white wedding kimono, flowers adorned her hair, and lipstick.

After becoming a mother, Hinata cut her hair to shoulder length. Her outfit consisted of a brown jacket with a dark purple top and cream skirt.

Years later, she grows her hair back, tying it back into a ponytail, and is dressed in a long-sleeved white blouse under a lavender dress and blue pants.

By the time of her son Boruto's graduation, she has cut her hair back, she currently wears a short lavender jacket with a white shirt underneath, brown shorts, and a pair of purple boots.

Personality

When Rookie 9 was found in room 301 of the Ninja Academy to take the chūnin exam, Naruto described Hinata as: "A weirdo who looks the other way when I turn her face to see. A shy girl of few words... I think». It is likely that said shyness comes from her inferiority complex caused by her father's lack of attention, after being defeated by her sister and preferring to train her younger sister Hanabi Hyūga. This complex would develop in Hinata a lack of determination and self-confidence that, according to her teacher, despite the harsh training she underwent, made her fail in every mission she was assigned. Those flaws, however, would also be the basis of the romantic attraction that Hinata felt towards Naruto: Since, since her time at the Academy, she would secretly observe his personality as well as the hard training he underwent, the firstborn of the The Hyūga clan would admire the determination, self-confidence and strength of the young Uzumaki, qualities that she felt she lacked.

She always tries to break her shyness to strike up a conversation with Naruto, either to cheer him up or to do her best when he's around; and she becomes very assertive with the young shinobi 's behavior, never hesitating to defend him, even from himself. Finally, Hinata sees in Naruto an example to follow in her search for her own personal growth, training with the purpose of being just like Naruto.

Among other qualities, we see that Hinata is also thoughtful, serene, very polite, kind-hearted, and somewhat innocent, as has always been pointed out, using the corresponding honorifics when speaking to people. She is also very soft towards other people, a trait that her cousin Neji and her father used to consider a flaw and she doesn't like to compete or fight. She has shown to be very empathetic, due to her upbringing, she is one of the few characters who identifies with Naruto's painful and bitter childhood and desire to be recognized and accepted by all. Already in her childhood, as a result of the clan's high expectations of her as her heir and her father's grueling harsh training and being regarded as a failure and disgrace, Hinata had lacked self-confidence. same.

Although her father considered her a failure, Hinata has shown that she is very hard-working at what she sets out to do (something her father doesn't realize from the beginning) always striving to bring out the best in herself by changing for the better, although initially this lack of self-confidence prevented her from being strong even on missions. As the series progressed, Hinata became more open about her opinion and confident, such as when she demonstrated her willingness, from time to time, to take decisive action. At the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, her bravery and confidence has extended to the part where she is willing to put her own life at risk, for her people, the world, the friends and her family. His faith, trust and bravery surpass the limits and it is most notorious after Neji's death and when he was able to calm down and even stop Obito Uchiha from tormenting and taking Naruto into darkness and more than rising from the death of his beloved. cousin and give courage to the Savior of the World.

The growing self-confidence stems mainly from her former admiration for Naruto, as she was inspired by his enthusiasm, optimism, and unwavering determination to protect those he loves and to give up on nothing. As the series progressed, her admiration for him turned into real attention and affection, eventually she turned into love for Kurama's latest jinchuriki. Hinata also has unwavering faith in Savior Naruto, believing that she will one day achieve her goal of becoming Hokage. During Pain's invasion, Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto and she was also willing to protect him, even at the cost of her own life. After Neji was killed by Obito, despite the pain and ordeal of losing a great hero, she was the only one who with her words gave Naruto the courage not to give in and renounce himself, reiterating his shared and united ninja paths, showing how far he has come.

Hinata gets along well with her fellow Team 8. Kiba and his actions towards her are often motivated by his concern for her, such as when he urged her to give up if she fought Neji or Gaara during the Chunin Exams. Kiba is also aware of her feelings for Naruto, as on certain occasions he tends to tease her just to embarrass her or just play a prank on her, telling her that Naruto is near her when he's not around or pointing out when he blushes when he's gone. he thinks of Naruto. Shino possesses a cool confidence in Hinata and will make a point of reassuring others when they doubt or worry about her. Hinata is also the closest to her sensei, who is not only interested in Hinata's growth as a ninja, but as a person as well.

She knows of Hinata's personal struggles and unlike her demanding father, Kurenai does her best to train Hinata in ways that she knows her student will respond to best. After Hinata was last knocked down by Neji in the Chunin Exams, Kurenai silently congratulated her student on her great perseverance. Like Kiba, Kurenai is aware of Naruto's affection and encourages her to express herself to him. At the end of Part I, Hinata was able to better foster her relationships with both Neji and her father and began to train with them little by little as they grew closer and stronger together as a family proving that she is capable of not only be a clan leader but a great person, strong and kind.

Hinata has also shown that she can be serious when the situation calls for it and make a sacrifice for the greater good, such as when she betrayed Naruto to go with Toneri Ōtsutsuki, as she was planning to reach Toneri's castle. and rescue his younger sister and save the entire world on his own, but in the end said plan failed, since Toneri Ōtsutsuki had discovered Hinata's plan.

After marrying Naruto and becoming a mother to Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki, she has become a much more mature and boring person, even developing a strict side to reminding her children not to go out barefoot when they were to hug his father and according to the words of his son Boruto, Hinata is also very strict with Boruto's studies, even before he entered the Ninja Academy, even after he enters the class, he is aware of Boruto's movements. Boruto, because his teacher is his old teammate, Shino Aburame.

Another example of her strict facet can be seen with Boruto, when, for example, she discovers that she has been missing classes at the academy or also when she is energetic with her husband and son, when these two are arguing in the kitchen of the house in an episode of the anime Boruto: Naruto Next Generations when her daughter Himawari fell ill and she simply activates her Byakugan (implying that she is relatively furious) and raises her voice to the two of them to emphasize her authority and ends up taking them outside from the house

Hinata has proven to be a kind and protective wife and mother.

About Anime

• Like other characters Rookie 9, Hinata would appear in the Anime from the first episode, while in the Manga would only make it to chapter 39. This, however, and becoming an exception, would involuntarily cause a difference in content between illustration and animation: so, in the sleeve, the author would only come to show during the chūnin examinations the existence of a unilateral attraction of it made Naruto and then the reasons for such attraction. In the animated series, however, it is said that such an attraction exists since they were classmates at the Ninja Academy, inferring also the existence of other reasons additional to those already related during the preliminary battles of the chūnin exams. It was not until chapter 166 of the second part of the anime, where these reasons become much more evident.

• Hinata is the protagonist of his own ending in the anime, during the saga of Pain Assault called "Jitensha" (translated: Bike) by Oreskaband.

Reception

From the fifth poll, he would see himself surpassed by Sakura in popularity again and, in the sixth poll, made in 2005, a decline would be observed in which Hinata would occupy his lowest position so far: 13th. And finally, in the last survey conducted in 2011, Hinata is again in the top 12 at number 10.

Appearance in other media
