{{translation|'''Hinata Uzumaki'''|うずまきヒナタ|Uzumaki Hinata|[[wikipedia:née|née]] {{translation|'''Hyūga'''|日向}}}} is a kunoichi of [[Konohagakure]]. Formerly the heiress of the [[Hyūga clan]], she lost the position upon being deemed unsuited for the responsibilities of leading the clan. Nonetheless, Hinata [[Nindō|persevered]] and from her observation of [[Naruto Uzumaki]] especially, Hinata found an example to follow. Through her membership with [[Team 8]], she sought to become strong enough to change herself, if even a little at a time. A few years after the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Hinata joined the [[Uzumaki clan]] after marrying Naruto.
{{translation|'''Hinata Hyūga'''|日向 ヒナタ|Hyūga Hinata}} is a major supporting character of the series. She is a [[chūnin]]-level [[Wikipedia:Kunoichi|kunoichi]] of [[Konohagakure]]'s [[Hyūga clan]] and a member of [[Team Kurenai]].

[[File:Hanabi's Gentle Fist.png|thumb|left|Hinata and Hanabi fight for the heiress position.]]
Hinata is the elder child of the Hyūga clan's leader: [[Hiashi Hyūga]], and as the first-born, was the heiress-apparent to the clan's main house. However, she apparently lost this position to her younger sister [[Hanabi]], as Hinata was deemed a failure by their father because of her lack of self confidence.<ref name="chpt78">''Naruto'' chapter 78, page 10</ref> When she was young she was kidnapped by a [[Head Ninja of Kumogakure|head ninja]] from [[Kumogakure]], who under the guise of striking a peace treaty with Konoha, had actually been sent there to steal the [[Byakugan]]. Her father killed the would-be kidnapper to save her, but Kumo demanded compensation in the form of Hiashi's dead body due to having signed a peace treaty with the village only moments before. This ultimately resulted in the death of Hinata's uncle, [[Hizashi Hyūga]], who sacrificed himself in order to protect his clan and village.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 102, pages 17-20</ref> This incident was particularly significant in shaping Hinata's early relationship with her cousin, [[Neji Hyūga]].

Hinata is the oldest daughter of [[Hiashi Hyūga]]. When she was still a child, Hinata was almost kidnapped by the-then [[Head Ninja]] of [[Kumogakure]], who was visiting Konoha under the guise of signing a peace treaty between their two villages. Hiashi killed him and saved Hinata, setting in motion the events that would become known as the "[[Hyūga Affair]]".<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 102, pages 17-20</ref>
   
  +
Because Hiashi was the head of the Hyūga clan, Hinata was raised to be its heiress and her family expected great things from her. But even at a young age, her father came to believe that Hinata was not suited for the role of heiress, as she struggled under his gruesome training regime, on top of him also believing that her timid personality prevented her from truly excelling. When Hinata's younger sister [[Hanabi]] started displaying superior talent, Hiashi began to reconsider Hinata's selection as heiress. In the anime, Hinata and Hanabi were pitted against each other to determine who would one day lead the Hyūga. Because Hinata was unwilling to harm Hanabi - a hesitation Hanabi did not share - she was defeated, disappointing her father.<ref name="NS389">''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 389</ref> Hinata was then disinherited and turned over to the care of [[Kurenai Yūhi]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 78, pages 10</ref>
{{ImgRight|HanabiDefeatsHinata.png|Hinata and Hanabi sparring.}}
 
Because of her position as heiress, Hiashi had high expectations for Hinata and subjected her to gruelling training. However, Hinata's slow progress and frailty disheartened her father until eventually, he deemed her a lost cause. Instead, her father chose to focus and develop [[Hanabi Hyūga|Hinata's younger sister]], who proved much more promising than Hinata, making her the new heiress. By the time Hinata joined [[Team 8]], Hiashi had completely lost interest in Hinata, leaving her care and protection to [[Kurenai Yūhi]].<ref name="chpt78"/>

{{imgRight|Naruto's first encounter with Hinata.png|Hinata meets Naruto.}}
Hinata's strained relationship with her father caused her to lose more faith in herself and she would often spend her time alone, crying. It wasn't until she met [[Naruto Uzumaki]] that her perception changed drastically. Because Naruto was treated as an outcast by almost everyone in the village, Hinata found herself able to relate with his desire to be acknowledged and praised. She was amazed that despite Naruto having nothing and no one to rely on, he never gave up in believing he could become something great like [[Hokage]]. In the anime, Naruto was at one point shown protecting Hinata from bullies. Despite Naruto not knowing her, he refused to let the kids insult and degrade her. Since they outnumbered him, they beat him up and knocked him out. Surprised by how much Naruto wanted to help and believing that she too deserved to be acknowledged, Hinata was inspired. Like Naruto, she ultimately decided to try her best to become strong and never give up, so she could become acknowledged as well. This admiration of Naruto later grew into love despite warnings from her elders to stay away from him.<ref name="ep166">''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 166</ref>
 
  +
On the day of her enrolment in Konoha's [[Academy]],<ref name="TLN">''The Last: Naruto the Movie'' novel</ref> Hinata was picked on by three bullies because of her [[Byakugan|unusual eyes]]. Naruto, despite not knowing her, immediately came to her defence, but he was outnumbered and knocked unconscious, and the bullies damaged the red scarf he was wearing. When he regained consciousness, Hinata thanked him for helping her and returned his scarf to him, but he let her keep it. Hinata started watching Naruto from that point onwards, and by doing so saw Naruto's desire to gain attention and his struggle to exceed the extremely low expectations others had for him. Despite this, Naruto never lost faith in himself or his dream to become the [[Hokage]]. Hinata was inspired by this and started emulating Naruto, adopting his refusal to never give up as a means of earning her father's approval. In the anime, Hinata's growing affections for Naruto were noticed by the Hyūga's elders, who warned her to stay away from him.<ref name="NS166">''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 166</ref>

As a child, Hinata was soft-spoken and polite, always addressing people with proper [[wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|honourifics]]. She is kind, always thinking of others more than for herself, caring for their feelings and well-being. She doesn't like being confrontational for any reason. This led to her being meek or timid to others, as her overwhelming kindness can render her unable to respond or act for fear of offending somebody.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 75</ref> Her father's constant push to alter this personality trait when she was younger only made it worse, eroding Hinata's self-confidence and making her even more bashful because she gained so little faith in herself and opinions.<ref name="d3" /> Despite being disinherited, Hinata loves her family very much, as shown when she "agreed" to marry Toneri in order to rescue Hanabi even though she knew it meant breaking Naruto's heart and the possibility she and Toneri actually would get married.
Hinata is characterised as shy, thoughtful, serene, kind, and very polite, as noted from her always addressing people with appropriate [[Wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|honorifics]]. She is also very gentle, a trait that Neji and her father used to consider a flaw, and dislikes competing and fighting. She is shown to be incredibly empathetic, and, because of her upbringing, is one of the very first characters who identifies with Naruto's painful childhood and desire to be acknowledged.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 76, page 11</ref>
 
   
  +
Hinata's outlook sees a shift after her appointment to Team 8. Whereas her father and much of the Hyūga clan had decided she was a lost cause who would never amount to anything,<ref name="ch78">''Naruto'' chapter 78, page 10</ref> her team considers her a valuable member with her special strong points. Originally, she would over-rely on her teammates, looking to them in times of difficulty to save her from situations that make her uncomfortable. It is for her teammates - among other reasons - that Hinata starts seeking to change herself, as she wishes to help the team rather than burden it.<ref name="c80">''Naruto'' chapter 80, page 9</ref>
Back in her childhood, as a result of her clan's high expectations as their heiress and her father's gruelling training and him deeming her as a failure, Hinata had become very timid and lacked self-confidence.<ref name="databook3"/> However, she was shown to be a very hard worker (something that her father initially failed to notice), as she continuously strived to change herself for the better, though initially this lack of self-confidence would hinder her on even missions.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 80, page 9</ref> As the series progressed, Hinata became more open about her opinion and confident overall, as she demonstrated a willingness on occasion to take decisive action than ever before. By 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 on the line for her village, friends, and family.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 526, page 11</ref> The strongest amount of her new found confidence and bravery was displayed after Neji had died where Hinata was able to pull herself together and even keep [[Obito Uchiha]] from getting inside Naruto's head and resolve herself after Neji's death and accept it in the end.

Hinata's primary motivation is Naruto Uzumaki, with whom she has been fascinated since meeting him. He initially gained her attention because of his kindness to her and outspoken nature, and then kept her attention because of similarities that Hinata perceived to herself: Naruto had a painful childhood without the love of parents, a fate worse than the mere difficulty she had with her own father, and he craves the attention and acknowledgement of anybody, just as Hinata wants to please her father.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 76, page 11</ref> But whereas Hinata lost faith in herself, Naruto always believed he can accomplish any given task if he tries hard enough. She admires him deeply for this courage and over time fell deeply in love with him, which manifests as increased shyness and speechlessness when around him, something that became apparent to everyone, apart from ironically Naruto himself. Hinata strives to prove herself to others, but mostly to gain the attention and worthiness of Naruto. She emulates him to this purpose, adopting his [[nindō]] of never giving up to improve herself. To that end, she stops running from confrontation, instead doing all that she can to face it, even in the face of failure to keep trying, and willing to risk her life for her loved ones and village.<ref name="c526"/> By the end of Part I, her clan's faith in her is restored and strengthened.<ref name="c238">''Naruto'' chapter 238, pages 8-9</ref>
Hinata's growing self-confidence mainly comes from her long-standing admiration for Naruto, as she was inspired by his enthusiasm, optimism, and his unyielding determination to protect his loved ones. As the series progressed, her admiration towards him grew into genuine care and affection, eventually leading her to fall in love with him. Hinata also has a strong faith in Naruto, believing that he will one day achieve his goal to become Hokage. During the [[invasion of Pain]], Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto and was also willing to protect him, even at the cost of her own life.<ref name="ch437">''Naruto'' chapter 437 pages 10-12</ref> After Neji was killed by [[Obito]], she pulled herself together despite the pain she was feeling so she could inspire Naruto once more not to give in or give up on himself, reiterating their shared [[nindō]], which showed how far she has come.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 615, pages 5-13</ref>

[[File:Scary Hinata.png|thumb|Hinata's intimidating demeanour.]]
Hinata gets along well with her team-mates. [[Kiba]] has become one of her closest friends, and his actions toward her are often motivated by his concern for her, such as when he urged her to forfeit if she was matched against Neji or [[Gaara]] during the [[Chūnin Exams]]. Kiba is also aware of her feelings for Naruto, as he tends to tease her a lot about them by embarrassing her by telling her Naruto is near when he isn't or pointing out when she blushes when thinking about Naruto. [[Shino]] possesses a quiet confidence in Hinata, and will make a point of assuring others when they doubt or worry about her. Hinata is also the closest to her [[Kurenai|sensei]], who is not only interested in Hinata's growth as a ninja but also as a person. She knows Hinata's personal struggles and unlike her demanding father, Kurenai tries her best to coach Hinata in ways in which she knows her pupil will best respond. After Hinata was knocked down for the final time by Neji in the Chūnin Exams, Kurenai silently congratulated her student's resolve and perseverance. Like Kiba, Kurenai is aware of her affection to Naruto and encourages her to express herself to him. By the end of Part I, Hinata was able to foster better relations with both Neji and her father and started training with them, as well as growing closer and stronger together as a family.
 
  +
Throughout the years, Naruto remains her primary motivation; she willingly faced Pain to protect Naruto, despite knowing she has no chance of winning.<ref name="c437"/> She even defends Naruto from himself when he's in doubt, repeating to him his refusal to never give up.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 615, pages 5-13</ref> [[The Last: Naruto the Movie|Two years]] after the war, upon achieving her [[Infinite Tsukuyomi#Known Dreams|greatest dream]] of having her love reciprocated by Naruto to form a deep and committed relationship together, she became more expressive about her feelings. In the anime, she is able to laugh openly because of it.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 499</ref> After marrying Naruto and he becomes Hokage, Hinata remains supportive of him and his increased responsibilities, even though she yearns for him to be home more often. As a mother and wife, she has become a master homemaker, keeping the family well-structured yet well-adjusted and happy. While very loving and supportive of her family, she is equally strict and assertive. Her newfound structured nature made her very intimidating and more easily angered when her family acts up, easily keeping them in line and swiftly punishing them for their misconduct.<ref name="BE1">''Boruto'' episode 1</ref><ref name="BE18"/> She is also insightful and wise with her words, realising that her children, particularly Boruto, take after Naruto in the desire to prove themselves to others and that she must believe in them to do things on their own.<ref>''Boruto: Naruto the Movie''</ref>

Hinata is a slender girl of fair-complexion who, as a Hyūga, her most distinguishing trait is the [[Byakugan]], giving her featureless white eyes (lavender in the anime). She has dark blue hair that she keeps in a [[Wikipedia:hime_cut|hime-cut]] of different lengths: in Part I, her hair is cut just above her forehead akin to a bowl-cut with chin-length strands framing her face; in Part II, her hair reaches her lower back and the framing strands reach shoulder-length; in ''The Last: Naruto the Movie'', her hair extends beyond her hips and she would at times tie it into a ponytail. By the time Boruto entered the Academy, she cut it into a bob-style reaching her shoulders.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 700</ref> She is noted to be beautiful by Naruto<ref name="TLN"/> and [[Toneri Ōtsutsuki]].
[[File:Hinata Hyūga Part 2.png|thumb|150px|Hinata in Part II.]]
 
Hinata has dark blue hair (nearly black in the anime) and fair skin; traits that she inherited from her [[Hinata and Hanabi's Mother|mother]]. She also has the customary white eyes of her clan, which have a tinge of lavender in the anime. She is usually seen with a timid, shy expression in Part I, but less so in Part II, with the exception of when she is around Naruto. Like the rest of her clan, she possesses the renowned [[Byakugan]] which, when activated, stimulates the veins and arteries immediately around her eyes to protrude much more prominently.

In Part I, her hair is in a short, levelled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face. She wore a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants. After earning her genin rank, she wore her Konoha [[forehead protector]] around her neck. At the Chūnin Exams finals, Hinata wore a long-sleeved, light blue blouse with a high collar, and dark blue pants. While at home, she was seen in the traditional Hyūga garb, consisting of a simple, loose-fitting robe with different coloured trimmings, and an under-shirt.

In Part I, Hinata usually wears a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem. She also wears navy blue pants and keeps her [[forehead protector]] loosely around her neck. In Part II, she dons a lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour. She also wears navy blue pants, black, low-heeled sandals, and changes the cloth of her forehead protector from blue to black. Hinata switches to the standard Konoha infantry [[flak jacket]] and assorted clothing during the Fourth Shinobi World War, though she does not appear to wear a forehead protector.

<gallery type="slideshow" position="right" widths="240" hideaddbutton="true">
In Part II, Hinata has retained her straight, hime-style haircut, but she has let her hair grow to waist-length. The short strands that frame her face remain, but are now shoulder-length. Her figure has also grown to become much more womanly. She also dons a new attire comprised of a loose fitting, long-sleeved, lavender and cream zip-up jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour with navy blue pants and black, low-heeled sandals. Although she still wears her forehead protector around her neck, its colour has changed from blue to black. In one of the [[omake]]s, she is seen wearing a beige apron and light blue scarf tied in a bandanna style. In another omake, she is seen in a casual outfit that consisted of brown capri pants, brown sandals, and a dark green, hood-less jacket with a fire symbol on the upper-right side of her chest. The cuffs of the jacket were rolled up to the middle of her forearms; the inside of the jacket was shown to be cream-coloured. Hinata had a light lavender blouse underneath.

Two years after the war, Hinata's mission attire is a form-fitting light lavender, sleeveless kimono-style blouse with vertical lines, tied with a dark purple obi around her waist and short dark navy shorts. She also wore thigh-high stockings with black, open-toed boots. She does not wear her forehead protector at all. Her outfits become more varied after that, changing to match the occasion or simply being more casual than her prior garb. During Hinata's and Toneri's wedding, she wore a wide black and grey top with a long grey sash around her waist. She also wore short puffy pants with black lace socks and sandals. On her head was a black turban with a black and light yellow veil over and yellow crescent moon earrings. During Hinata's and Naruto's wedding, she wore a traditional white kimono with a flower in her hair. After getting married, she consistently wears a light purple short-sleeved jacket, a long-sleeved white shirt with a two pink coloured strips underneath it, light brown shorts and purple open-toed boots. In the ''Boruto'' manga, Hinata has a necklace with the Uzumaki symbol on it.

Originally, Hinata's gentle personality hindered her performance, to which she was deemed too weak and unworthy for the role of heir.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 78, page 10</ref> After committing herself getting stronger in her training for Naruto, receiving consistent praise from her team and clan for her improving skills and strengthening character.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 80, pages 8-9</ref><ref name="c437"/><ref name="c526">''Naruto'' chapter 526, pages 10-12</ref> Two years after the war, Hinata, having been recognised by [[Hamura Ōtsutsuki]] as the Byakugan Princess, proves to be crucial in the destruction of the [[Tenseigan (Energy Vessel)|Tenseigan]], even though she herself can't destroy it.<ref name="TheLast" />
Although she was deemed a failure in Part I by her father, Hiashi, Hinata's new-found resolve enabled her to greatly sharpen her skills, ultimately changing her father's opinion about her and later becoming a [[chūnin]] with the help of her team-mates and sensei — under whose guidance Hinata has been able to blossom and develop her abilities.<ref name="databook3"/> During the Fourth Shinobi World War, [[Hiashi]] also considered her strong enough to protect her cousin, [[Neji]] now as much as he protects her.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 526, pages 10-12</ref> Naruto has also praised her strength, recalling how she fought against [[Pain]] when he was incapacitated.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 559, page 6</ref> Like her team-mates, she is a skilled tracker which she uses the extensive sight provided to her by the Byakugan to achieve.

Over a decade later, while rusty as she retired to be a housewife, Hinata's prowess still remained formidable. Despite being unprepared and reluctant to fight Hanabi, an active jōnin who continues training to become the next Hyūga clan leader, Hinata decisively defeated her sister in a the match.<ref>''Naruto Shinden: Parent and Child Day''</ref>
In the anime, Hinata is shown to be able to use [[medical ninjutsu]], witnessed from her use of the [[Mystical Palm Technique]] to heal the wounded citizens of the [[Hachō Village]].<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 293</ref>

From her special clan training, Hinata has advanced control of her chakra. In the anime, Hinata's additional training during Part I resulted in her ability to free herself from contraints<ref>''Naruto'' episode 151</ref> and manipulate nearby water sources, turning them into [[Water Needle|projectiles]].<ref>''Naruto'' episode 150</ref> By Part II of the anime, Hinata's control has advanced enough to match a [[medical-nin]]'s, for which reason she is assigned to help perform the [[Four-Corner Sealing Barrier]].
As a member of the [[Hyūga clan]], Hinata possesses the [[Byakugan]], a [[dōjutsu]] [[kekkei genkai]] which grants her near 360° vision (with the exception of a small blind spot at the upper [[Wikipedia:Thoracic vertebrae|thoracic vertebrae]]), x-ray vision and the ability to see the [[chakra pathway system]]. Hinata can focus her Byakugan's sight to drastically increase its range in one direction up to at least 10 kilometres.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 396, page 5</ref> During the [[Search for the Bikōchū Arc]], she was able to use her Byakugan to magnify and zoom, effectively seeing every small insect in the area, and could also see in [[Wikipedia:Infrared|infra-red]].<ref>''Naruto'' episode 149</ref> Using her Byakugan in a similar fashion, Hinata even accurately fired [[Chakra Needle Technique|chakra needles]] at fast and tiny targets. In Part II, during her fight against [[Guren]], Hinata demonstrates her new mastery of her kekkei genkai; Hinata's Byakugan was at first overcome by Guren's [[Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique|crystal labyrinth]], which refracted light to produce many duplicate images of herself.<ref name="ship97">''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 97</ref> However, Hinata was able to focus on her target and allowed the Byakugan to function enough for her to accurately see Guren's real chakra network and not the reflections.<ref name="ship97"/> It was confirmed by [[Kakashi]] that Hinata can use her Byakugan to see through genjutsu, as he requested her to do so when they fought [[Tobi]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 394, page 15</ref> Using her Byakugan, she could help [[Ino]] time and pinpoint her [[Mind Body Switch Technique]] on [[Obito]], saving Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and B from the [[Ten-Tails]]' [[Tailed Beast Ball]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 611, page 11</ref>

When she met Hamura, Hinata inherited some of his [[chakra]] because she is a member of the Hyūga clan's main house. It is the strength and purity of her chakra that attracts [[Toneri Ōtsutsuki]]. It is also because of her being the member of the Hyūga clan's main house and direct bloodline from Hamura that she can touch and find the Tenseigan, though she can't destroy it by herself, so instead she held Naruto's hand to give him allowance to touch the Tenseigan and for him to destroy it, since anyone without the Hyūga and [[Toneri Ōtsutsuki|Ōtsutsuki]] bloodline can't touch it.

[[File:Gentle Fist.jpg|thumb|left|Hinata in a Gentle Fist stance.]]
 
As a member of the Hyūga clan, Hinata specialises in close-range, taijutsu combat. Her fighting style is the signature style of her clan, the [[Gentle Fist]], which takes advantage of the Byakugan's ability to see opponent's [[chakra pathway system]]. It allows her to cause severe internal trauma with minimal external force as it relies on surgical injection of chakra into an opponent's chakra network to cause damage. However, when Hinata is first introduced, she is considered weak by Hiashi Hyūga's standards, being neither as strong nor as fast as Neji or her sister.

During the timeskip, Hinata improved her taijutsu skills immensely and displays now a large variety of her clan's techniques. When later fighting Pain in the anime, her attacks were strong enough to snap Pain's [[Chakra Disruption Blades]] that were restraining Naruto and also able to strike Pain.<ref name="ep166"/> In the anime's [[Three-Tails Arc]], Hinata performed the [[Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms]], a minor version of the [[Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]].<ref name="ship97"/> Hinata has also continued to develop her natural flexibility.

As a Hyūga, Hinata possesses the Byakugan, a [[dōjutsu]] that grants her penetrative vision in a near-360° around herself, with one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first [[Wikipedia:thoracic vertebrae|thoracic vertebra]].<ref name="chpt196">''Naruto'' chapter 196, page 8</ref> With it, she is able to assist others frequently in tracking, scouting the area for their target(s); by focusing her vision in a single direction, Hinata can see across vast distances, able to see at least 1 kilometre during her first Chūnin Exam, and reaching as far away as 20 kilometres by the battle against Toneri. Hinata's Byakugan grants her attacks pinpoint accuracy, which she can share with others to also improve their own.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 611, page 11</ref> She can also use it in order to identify [[genjutsu]], searching for the caster in the nearby area.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 394, page 15</ref> In the anime, Hinata can use [[wikipedia:infrared|infrared]] vision and magnify in to see tiny targets.<ref>''Naruto'' episode 149</ref> By adulthood, the chakra sensitivity provided by the Byakugan allows her to pick up on the slightest presence of chakra.<ref>''Sasuke Shinden: The Teacher's Star Pupil''</ref>

As is traditional in her clan, Hinata has been extensively trained in the [[Gentle Fist]] fighting style. In unison with her Byakugan, Hinata can attack accurately target an individuals' [[chakra pathway system]]s and the 361 [[tenketsu]] that run along it, constricting or cutting off their chakra flow from only minimal contact.<ref name="ch78" /> Although this enables Hinata to attack an opponent's internal organs, she can also use it in a supplementary function, such as by setting dislocated shoulders back in place.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 617, pages 12-13</ref>
Hinata has also acquired her own original arsenal. In the anime, she developed the [[Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]], a technique that can take advantage of her great flexibility and coordination to both attack and defend at the same time. She also displays the [[Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists]] technique, which much of was not seen in the manga, but in the anime was able to momentarily overwhelm Neji during their training and break Pain's [[chakra receivers]] with ease.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 232</ref><ref name="ep166"/>

While Hinata hadn't yet mastered her clan's most advanced techniques in Part I, in the anime, she created the [[Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] as an alternative, which effectively protects her and attacks anything within range with sharp streams of chakra emitted from her palms.<ref>''Naruto'' episode 151</ref> By Part II, she had grown accustomed to more of her clan's techniques. During Pain's Assault, Hinata could use the [[Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists]], a technique that drains the target of their chakra where struck. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata could use the [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm]] to attack targets outside her physical range or deflect incoming attacks,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 614, page 10</ref> which increases in power if used in [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm|conjunction with others]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 521, page 10</ref> She also mastered the [[Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] in the war.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 633, pages 5-6</ref> By the time she reaches adulthood, she became well-known for her mastery of the Gentle Fist.<ref>"[[Boruto: Road to B]]", page 2</ref> As an adult, she could even knock out a target with a single strike to their tenketsu.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 284</ref><ref>''Sasuke Shinden''</ref> Hinata is also proven to be very resilient, having survived an assault by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki.
After the Chūnin Exams, Hinata trained to become stronger, developing in a way which took advantage of her excellent chakra control. The results of this training are shown during the anime's Search for the Bikōchū Arc; she is first seen training beside a waterfall, where she forms an orb of water around herself. She is later shown forming [[Chakra Needle Technique|chakra needles]] that she uses to attack a swarm of bees. Her new-found chakra control can also emit streams of [[chakra]] from her palms to create extremely sharp blades, which can be used to hit any target in her field of vision. Due to her excellent chakra control, Hinata is able to freely manipulate the size and strength of the chakra blades, effectively allowing her to use this technique for offence and defence.

While Hinata doesn't usually use [[ninjutsu]], by the Fourth Shinobi World War, her [[nature transformation]]s included [[Fire]] and [[Lightning Release]].<ref name="d4" /> In the anime, she also demonstrated proficiency in [[medical ninjutsu]], able to use the [[Mystical Palm Technique]] to heal the wounded.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 293</ref>
In Part II of the anime, Hinata's chakra control has advanced greatly as seen in the Three-Tails Arc, where her chakra control was mentioned as being at least on par with that of a [[medical-nin]], as she was selected to perform the [[Four-Corner Sealing Barrier]] along with [[Sakura]], [[Ino]], and [[Shizune]]. Ino, although trained as a medical-nin, had difficulty maintaining and controlling her chakra to sustain the seal, unlike Hinata, who managed with relative ease.

{{Main|Prologue — Land of Waves}}
Hinata was first seen along with the graduating class, including Naruto. She silently hoped that she would be on the same team with Naruto though it was to not to be the case, much to her disappointment. However, she obeyed being allocated to [[Team 8]] along with [[Kiba Inuzuka]] and [[Shino Aburame]].
 
  +
In the anime, while the graduates of her [[Academy]] class are being assigned to teams, Hinata hopes that she will be on the same team as [[Naruto Uzumaki]]. To her disappointment, she is instead added to [[Kurenai Yūhi]]'s [[Team 8]], along with [[Kiba Inuzuka]] and [[Shino Aburame]]. Kurenai reports this to Hinata's father, [[Hiashi Hyūga]], but he is unconcerned and in fact abandons Hinata to Kurenai's care, feeling she is unworthy of the [[Hyūga clan]].<ref name="ch78" />

=== Chūnin Exams ===
  +
{{Main|Chūnin Exams (Arc)|l1=Chūnin Exams}}
When the [[Chūnin Exams]] began, Hinata entered with her team-mates in an attempt to change herself. During the first test, she was seated next to [[Naruto]], and when Naruto was struggling to complete the written exam, she offered to let him cheat off her test. However, after seeing the penalty for cheating on a student just behind them, he refused so she wouldn't get in trouble, and because he was too proud to cheat. His inspiring speech at the end of the first test gave her the confidence to not give up, so the proctor, [[Ibiki Morino]], passed everyone in the group who didn't refuse to take the tenth question.
 
  +
[[File:Naruto and hinata at first exam.png|thumb|left|Hinata lets Naruto copy her test.]]
  +
Despite how recently they graduated from the Academy, Kurenai enters Team 8 in the [[Chūnin Exams]] being held in [[Konoha]]; Hinata agrees to participate because she wants to change herself. For the exams' first stage, Hinata is seated next to Naruto as they take a written test. The objective in the first stage is to cheat off of other examinee's paper without getting caught, but Naruto doesn't realise this and agonises about potentially failing. Seeing this, Hinata offers to let him copy off of her paper. He suspects she's trying to trick him, but she assures him that she only wants to be helpful. Although he considers taking her up on her offer, Naruto ultimately declines, fearing that he'll get her disqualified if they're caught and claiming that, besides, he isn't the type to cheat.
   
In the second part of the exam, during the [[Forest of Death]], she and her team-mates quickly managed to get their scroll, becoming one of the first genin teams to do so in that exam. When [[Kiba]] and [[Akamaru]] smelled a second target, they witnessed the [[Sand Siblings]]' confrontation with [[Team Shigure|a team of Ame genin]]. After [[Gaara]] killed the [[Amegakure]] genin, they hid behind a bush, hoping not to be caught and killed.
+
Although Naruto is given the opportunity to forfeit, he refuses to do so, and for his determination, he passes the first stage along with Hinata and their teams. For the second stage, participants enter the [[Forest of Death]] with the objective of obtaining a set of two scrolls, one of which they are given at the start. Team 8 manages to collect their second scroll right after the second stage has started, and so they head for the centre of the forest where they're supposed to turn in the scrolls. Along the way, Kiba's partner, [[Akamaru]], senses the [[Three Sand Siblings]]' fight with [[Team Shigure]]. Team 8 watches the fight from the cover of some nearby bushes and is horrified when [[Gaara]] mercilessly kills all of Team Shigure. After they're certain Gaara won't kill them too, they proceed to the centre of the forest.
   
  +
After passing the second stage, the remaining participants take part in one-on-one preliminary matches. During Naruto's fight with Kiba, Hinata's loyalties are torn; she wants to cheer for Naruto, but fears that would be rude to Kiba. When Naruto wins the fight, Hinata gives both him and Kiba some of the [[Hyūga Clan Secret Ointment]] so that their wounds will heal faster. As he's being taken away to rest, Kiba pleads for Hinata to forfeit if she's matched against Gaara or her cousin, [[Neji Hyūga]]. She is indeed matched against the latter, a member of a Hyūga clan branch house who hates all members of the main house. Neji, like Kiba, tries to convince Hinata to forfeit, telling her that she's too meek and insecure to be a ninja. She begins to offer arguments in her defence, but Neji persists, claiming that she is fated to be a failure, a fact that he believes she's aware of due to her frightened reaction to what he says.
[[File:Hinata vs neji.PNG|thumb|left|Hinata during her fight against Neji.]]
 
In the preliminaries, Hinata had to face her much stronger cousin, Neji, in combat. She almost broke down and gave up after Neji berated her on being a failure that could never change. This angered Naruto, and he encouraged Hinata, giving her the strength to fight her cousin. Despite being outmatched and having her chakra cut off, she continued to fight. Neji was surprised when she refused to give up, even becoming enraged when she accused him of being the weak one who fights what he is. He charged at her, but the [[jōnin]] in attendance restrained him before he could kill her. When Hinata was taken away to the emergency room, Naruto dipped his fingers in her blood and vowed to defeat Neji.
 
   
  +
[[File:Gentle fist.png|thumb|Hinata fights Neji.]]
A month later, Naruto, concerned that he would be unable to defeat Neji despite his vow, ran into Hinata. When he began to doubt himself, she told him that he never gave up, which was something she admired, and that she had become more confident after he cheered for her. This gave Naruto the strength and drive to go face Neji. She later watches his match with Neji but, due to the injuries she received from Neji not being fully healed, Hinata passed out during the match, and did not see the outcome of the match. Kiba gets her medical attention from [[Kabuto Yakushi]], who was disguised as an [[ANBU]]. She is healed, but remains unconscious for the rest of the [[invasion of Konoha]].
 
  +
Neji's words cause Hinata to cry, but also anger the watching Naruto, who insists that Hinata can change herself if she wants to and who encourages her to defeat Neji. Because Naruto has faith in her, Hinata refuses to forfeit and prepares to fight; Neji is surprised by the new confidence in her. Hinata and Neji exchange [[Gentle Fist]]-blows, but only Neji's are effective, which he reveals to be because he sealed her [[tenketsu]] at the start of their fight. Although her attacks are ineffective against him, Hinata continues fighting, in the process enduring mounting internal trauma from Neji's counterattacks. Neji repeatedly tells her to forfeit, but Hinata refuses, unwilling to back down both as a matter of principle and because Naruto continues to cheer for her.

[[File:Shinobi Stop Neji.png|thumb|left|Hinata is saved from Neji.]]
=== Invasion of Konoha Arc ===
 
  +
Neji directly attacks Hinata's heart, leading all but Naruto to believe she's been defeated. When [[Hayate Gekkō]] is about to declare Neji the winner, Naruto stops him and motions to Hinata struggling to her feet. Neji tells her that her attempts to fight her destiny are only bringing her harm, but she rebuts that his own attempt to fight the destiny of the branch house brings him even more harm. Neji is enraged and attempts to kill her, but he is stopped by the observing [[jōnin]]. Hinata collapses, the damage to her organs being too severe, and before she loses consciousness she sees Naruto checking on her; she wonders if she managed to change at all. She's taken away by a team of [[medical-nin]] to be given emergency medical attention.
Hinata can be seen at the [[Third Hokage]]'s funeral mourning his death.
 
   
  +
After a month, on the day of the Chūnin Exams' final matches, Hinata has recovered somewhat. Although she's supposed to take it easy, she practices at the [[Third Training Ground]]. Naruto stops there on his way to finals and is glad to see she's better. Because he's scheduled to fight Neji, Naruto shares his concerns that he might not be strong enough to defeat him. Hinata says that she believes he is strong enough, and that even if he isn't physically strong he still has strength of perseverance: a willingness to keep trying despite apparent failure until he finally conquers his obstacle. She admires him for that. Naruto is put at ease, thanks her, and informs her that his impression of her as "weird" was wrong, as he actually likes her. Hinata is left speechless as he walks away.

Hinata watches Naruto's fight against Neji with Kiba. Seeing Naruto receive so many of Neji's attacks upsets Hinata and causes her internal injuries to begin bleeding again. Kiba gets an [[Anbu]] ([[Kabuto Yakushi]]) to treat her. Although the Anbu heals her, she is rendered unconscious and thus is unable to watch Naruto's defeat of Neji.

[[File:Bikochumo Beetle.PNG|thumb|Team 8 and Naruto searching for the bikōchū.]]
  +
In the anime, [[Team 8]] (at Hinata's insistence) helps Naruto find a [[bikōchū]], which he can use to locate Sasuke by scent. After a day of searching, Hinata goes off by herself and trains by a waterfall in order to create a new jutsu. Naruto sees her, though he doesn't realise it's Hinata; she becomes embarrassed when he later tells Kiba about the "beautiful girl" he saw. When they are attacked by members of the [[Kamizuru clan]], Hinata uses her new [[Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] to save her team. Although they ultimately fail in their plan to use the bikōchū to find Sasuke, their near-success earns praise from Hinata's father, Hiashi.
In the filler arcs, Hinata received more screen-time than many other members of the [[Konoha 11]]. In the [[Search for the Bikōchū Arc]], [[Team 8]] and Naruto are sent to capture a [[bikōchū]] beetle that could track [[Sasuke Uchiha]]'s scent — a mission that Hinata had insisted on. During the mission she develops her [[Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]], and managed to save Naruto and the rest of Team 8 by using it against hostile bug-users. During the episode, Naruto came across a naked Hinata's silhouette, training in a waterfall at night. Naruto, being oblivious, didn't realise that it was her, and talked to Kiba about how he saw a "beautiful girl" at the waterfall the next day, embarrassing her greatly.

  +
=== Gosunkugi Capture Mission ===
As a result of these two failures, Hinata, Naruto, and Kiba were threatened with being returned to the Academy if they did not succeed in finding hidden treasure. The group initially had difficulty working together due to friction between Naruto and Kiba. When they were captured by a group of ninja that could perfectly transform into copies of others, it was up to Hinata to save them and scare them away. She was unable to pursue them because of a leg injury, so Naruto and Kiba did so for her. Hinata later returned, and mistakenly attacked Naruto after he absent-mindedly put down the chest, which had distinguished him from the impostor.

{{Main|Gosunkugi Capture Mission}}

The Great Survival Challenge]]", the [[Academy Student]]s were divided into teams of three and were assigned to a [[genin]] who would lead them on a mission against the other teams. Hinata was assigned to lead a team of three academy students; [[Nobori]], [[Daichi]] and [[Matsuri (Konoha)|Matsuri]]. Her time with them was not covered much except that she was good at setting up camp and was doing better than Naruto.

Although they escape from the Kedōin, Naruto and Kiba must stop them by themselves due to a leg injury Hinata sustained. She later returned to Konoha and mistakenly attacked Naruto, whom she believed to be an impostor.
   
  +
=== Peddlers Escort Mission ===
Throughout the filler arcs, and as was seen at the end of the Part I manga, Hinata developed a much better relationship with [[Hiashi Hyūga|her father]], who encouraged her to do her best after her near-success in the [[bikōchū]] mission. Neji also got along well with her, sparring with her and caring about her well-being. When Naruto left to train with [[Jiraiya]] at the end of the series, she watched him leave, but was unable to bring herself to say goodbye to him. As he left, she vowed to become stronger, and to work as hard as he did.

In the anime, Konoha and [[Sunagakure]] hold a joint Chūnin Exam two years after Naruto's departure, which Team 8 once again enters. During the first exam, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino are seated in different rooms and are tasked with getting a combined score of exactly 100 points on their written test despite their separation.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 396</ref> Neji comes up with the idea for teams to communicate which questions to answer by producing vibrations on the walls. After the initial testing period is over, they are given a bonus question: each team must unanimously select one of their members to disqualify from the rest of the exams. Team 8 selects nobody, which is the correct answer and which qualifies them for the next phase.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 397</ref>

Those who pass the first test must reach the [[Demon Desert]] within three days in order to participate in the second exam. Ultimately, [[Team 8]] were among the first 30 teams to make it. The following night, as all the genin were ready to eat dinner, everyone grew nervous about the overly-sweaty [[Burami]] ruining the food, which caused the genin to quickly try to stop him, resulting in [[Neji]] using the [[Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven]] and accidentally destroying the food. As tension grew between everyone over the recent event, an all-out brawl began. Eventually everyone lost their desire to fight when Fū arrived with her optimistic ways. The following day, as the second exam began Team 8 were given the same objective as they had in the exam several years ago: obtain a scroll from another team.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 398</ref>

Following a simple plan by Kiba, Team 8 began talking loudly for all to hear, waiting for another team with a Heaven scroll to come after them. Ultimately, they encounter [[Team Kazami]], with Hinata facing off against [[Kazami]]. Deciding to make the first move Hinata begins [[Gentle Fist|attacking]] Kazami. Realising Hinata's goal was to attack his [[Chakra Pathway System]] Kazami creates various [[Wind Release: Flag Current|sharp air currents]] which she counters using the [[Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]]. During the ensuing fight the other team is able to steal their scroll. Despite Team Kazami's attempts to prevent Team 8 from pursuing them, Shino is able to track them using his [[kikaichū]].<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 402</ref> During their search, Team 8 is ambushed by Team Kazami, though they are able to escape thanks to Shino's [[insect clone]].

The team's leader, [[Guren]], soon traps Team 8 in her [[Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique]]. Although the labyrinth's reflective surface makes it difficult for her to focus with her Byakugan, Hinata is able to locate Guren and defeat one of her [[Jade Crystal Clone]]s, but is then encased in a crystal prison, where she remains until found by [[Team Kakashi|Team 7]].

Hinata watches as Naruto fights Pain alone, initially obeying Katsuyu's and Kō's instructions not to interfere. After Naruto is captured by Pain's [[Deva Path]], however, Hinata does not hesitate to come to his defence, forcing the Deva Path away from him. Naruto pleads for her to run away, telling her that she can't defeat Pain. Despite knowing this already, she tells Naruto that she will fight Pain because, after years of watching him and improving herself by following his example, Hinata loves Naruto and will do what she can to protect him.

Hiashi, however, told him that it wasn't because he lacked faith in Hinata but because she still lacked enough self-confidence to lead the shinobi during war.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 232</ref>

  +
Later, Hinata met with Kurenai and was told that several members of the Konoha 11 have encountered Naruto while he traveled to the [[Land of Lightning]]. When Hinata was summoned to a meeting with the [[Fifth Hokage]], she was hopeful that she would also get sent on such a mission. After much searching for where exactly the Hokage was, Hinata was disappointed to learn that the Hokage only wanted to discuss Neji's selection to lead the Hyūga during the approaching Fourth Shinobi World War. She was later invited to [[Yakiniku Q]] to have dinner with other girls in her age group. The dinner's conversation turned to Naruto, during which Hinata realised that she doesn't need to go on a mission with Naruto to be able to help him.

When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Hinata is placed alongside Neji in the [[Second Division]]. Their entire division is sent to intercept a large segment of the [[White Zetsu Army]], which Neji and Hinata [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm|join forces]] in attacking after [[Kitsuchi]] unearths the Zetsu army. Although the Zetsus suffer heavy casualties, their numbers are too great and the fight becomes one of attrition. After a day of fighting, Neji collapses from exhaustion, at which point Hinata takes responsibility for monitoring the Second Division's perimeter with her Byakugan. Shino encourages her not to over-exert herself, but she assures him that she doesn't mind since she's fighting to keep Naruto safe.
  +
  +
In the anime, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino investigate a possible breach of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]]' perimeter. They discover several White Zetsus within Allied territory, and in the fight to destroy them Hinata is knocked unconscious. One Zetsu [[Substitute Technique|impersonates her]] and successfully pretends to be her for a time using its knowledge of her feelings for Naruto, but Kiba and Shino eventually discover it and, after defeating it, rescue Hinata.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 279</ref> On the second day of the war, Hinata helps members of the Second Division escape the area of Neji's fight with the [[Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]] [[Kidōmaru]]. She later finds Neji unconscious with Kiba and [[Akamaru]]. Hinata examines their bodies with her Byakugan and discovers that their chakra flow has completely stopped. She reports this to [[Inoichi Yamanaka]], who is able to use the information to help Naruto save them. Hinata tearfully hugs Neji when he wakes up.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 305</ref>

With all levels of the Allied Shinobi Forces infiltrated by disguised White Zetsus, Hinata and the others are placed on high alert due to periodic surprise attacks by what they thought were their allies. When Naruto reaches the Second Division's location he starts identifying and defeating the disguised Zetsus, including three that attempt to attack Hinata. Although Neji is suspicious that Naruto may also be a White Zetsu, Hinata insists it's the real Naruto, which she can tell by looking in his eyes. Hinata apologises to Naruto for the suspicion he's receiving and regrets that he is still needing to save her when she's the one trying to fight for him. Naruto reassures her that she's strong enough to look after herself; he's merely returning the favour for all the times in the past she's helped him. She silently thanks him as he leaves.

Hinata and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces are sent to assist Naruto in his battle with the [[Ten-Tails]]. Recognising how crucial Naruto is to the war's victory, Hinata, Neji, and Hiashi join forces to block attacks directed at him. Neji and Hiashi quickly become preoccupied protecting other Allies from the Ten-Tails too, leaving only Hinata to defend Naruto. The Ten-Tails fires several volleys of [[wood]] projectiles at him, which Hinata uses her body to defend him from. Neji in turn uses his body to defend her and is mortally wounded because of it. Watching Hinata crying for him as he dies, Neji observes that Hinata was willing to die for Naruto, which he uses as evidence that Naruto is responsible for more lives than his own. He then dies from his injuries.

  +
[[File:Naruto gives Hinata power.png|thumb|left|Naruto shares Kurama's chakra with Hinata.]]

Naruto is disheartened by the deaths of Neji and others in the Alliance. When he starts to show signs of giving up, Hinata brings him back senses by reminding him of his vow to not let any of his friends die. Although Neji may be dead, he will live on so long as others continue the fight that he gave his life for. Therefore, Naruto must stay true to the creed he has been using for so long and that she has long since adopted for herself: to not give up. Naruto's resolve is renewed and he thanks her for standing by his side. He then takes her hand and transfers some chakra to her, giving her a [[version 1]]-like shroud that protects her and augments her attacks against the Ten-Tails.
   
  +
As Naruto leads the Alliance's attacks against the Ten-Tails, his arm becomes dislocated. Hinata sets it back in place, allowing him to remove the Ten-Tails from the control of [[Madara]] and [[Obito Uchiha]]. The extended fighting eventually starts to tire Naruto out, so Hinata rallies a defence around him while Sakura Haruno heals him. She later joins Team 8's attack on the [[Ten-Tails Fission|Ten-Tails' clone]]s: she starts performing the [[Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] on a [[Ten-Tails]] [[Ten-Tails Fission|mini-clone]], but stumbles midway and fears she may not be able to complete it. By thinking of Neji and Naruto, she finds the resolve to follow through to its end and defeats the clone. She then prepares to use her [[Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists]].
In the anime, just when she regained her consciousness, Naruto came to her and asked, very vaguely, to come with him on his mission, telling her "don't say a word and come with me". Hinata misinterpreted the words and promptly passed out again. After this, Hinata asked Kiba if she seemed more grown-up, in the hopes of impressing Naruto. Kiba jokingly teased her, by saying she was still as silly as ever, and then told her that Naruto was behind her, surprising and upsetting her when she discovered it was a lie.

In the anime, she can be seen at [[Asuma]]'s funeral. Later, she can be seen by a river with her team-mates, she's overjoyed to hear that Naruto is working so hard to hone his new technique. She is then reprimanded by [[Kiba]] who teases her about why she's blushing, causing her to back away with embarrassment.

When the Ten-Tails suddenly disappears from the battlefield, Sakura asks what Hinata saw with her Byakugan. Hinata explains that she saw the Ten-Tails being absorbed into Obito, meaning he has become its [[jinchūriki]]. Because of the abilities this grants Obito, Hinata and most of the rest of the Alliance stand no chance against him and must leave the fighting to others such as Naruto and Sasuke. But Hinata remains alert for opportunities to contribute and pitches in when they emerge, first by joining the rest of the Konoha 11 in hitting Obito with one of Naruto's [[Rasengan]], and then by assisting the rest of the Alliance with pulling the tailed beasts' chakra from Obito's body.

With Obito defeated, Naruto goes off to fight Madara, leaving the Allied Shinobi Forces to fight a final [[Tobi (Zetsu)|Zetsu]]. As they struggle against the Zetsu, Kiba senses Naruto's return to their battlefield and Hinata seeks him out with her Byakugan. She becomes horrified as she notices that his heartbeat is slowing and runs to him to provide assistance, but she collapses from exhaustion midway and can only plead Neji to help Naruto. When Madara cast the [[Infinite Tsukuyomi]] upon the world, Hinata alongside most people are immobilised by the [[genjutsu]] and restrained by the [[God: Nativity of a World of Trees|Ten-Tails' roots]].

Team 8 was recruited to help Team 7 find [[Itachi Uchiha]]. They split up to try and find his trail, and Hinata was added to Naruto's group. They were soon confronted by [[Kabuto Yakushi]] and Hinata used her Byakugan to see that one-third of Kabuto had been taken over by Orochimaru's remains. Later, when the squad regrouped, they came across [[Tobi]], who appeared to be blocking their path to Sasuke. During the battle that followed, Hinata took the role of stationary scout, using her Byakugan to follow Tobi's chakra signal. When Tobi left after receiving word that Sasuke had killed Itachi, Kakashi instructed Hinata to locate the site of their battle. They tried to reach it before Tobi, but were too late and forced to return home.

While trapped, Hinata dreams of sitting on a park bench with Naruto while they are watched in secret by Neji and [[Hanabi]]. Naruto and Sasuke eventually release the Infinite Tsukuyomi, freeing Hinata and the rest of the world and thus ending the Fourth Shinobi World War. They all return to Konoha to bury the dead from the war, with Team Kurenai and Naruto paying their respects at the mass funeral.

Two years after the war, as the [[Rinne Festival]] approaches, Hinata decides to confess her feelings for Naruto by knitting a scarf for him, a replacement for the one he gave her when they were children. Although she completes the scarf, Hinata struggles to bring herself to give it to him, and it is only at the encouragement of Sakura and Hanabi that Hinata finally approaches Naruto. Once she finds him at [[Ramen Ichiraku]], Hinata is intimidated, first by Naruto's many other [[Naruto's Fan Girls|female admirers]], and then by the fact that he is already wearing a scarf that he clearly cherishes. Assuming she lost her chance to be with him, Hinata runs off. As she cries over the scarf alone, she is approached by [[Toneri Ōtsutsuki]], who requests to be given the scarf instead. He captures her with his [[Autonomous Puppet|puppets]] and they try escaping Konoha with her, but Naruto defeats the puppets and rescues her; the scarf she made is ripped in the battle.
   
[[File:Hinata defends naruto.jpg|thumb|Hinata intervenes to protect Naruto]]

[[File:Genjutsu Ball Trap.png|thumb|Hinata links with Naruto.]]
  +
In place of Hinata, Toneri is successfully able to kidnap Hanabi. Hinata requests to be added to the [[Hanabi Rescue Team|team]] sent to rescue her. After leaving Konoha, Hinata is able to find Hanabi's trail using her Byakugan, which leads them to an underground passage. Shortly after entering the passageway, the team is trapped in a [[Genjutsu Ball Trap|genjutsu]] that dredges up old memories. While Hinata relives moments from her past that relate to Naruto, the scarf - which she's in the process of repairing - gets loose from her bag and wraps around Naruto, sharing her memories and corresponding feelings with him. Sakura is able to release them from the genjutsu and they start to continue ahead. Hinata is held back by Toneri, who expresses his desire to marry her. He explains that he has taken Hanabi's Byakugan for himself in order to carry out [[Hamura Ōtsutsuki]]'s decree to destroy the Earth, after which he can create a new world with Hinata's help.
After Pain [[Shinra Tensei|destroyed]] the village, Hinata emerged from the rubble without any major injuries along with her bodyguard, [[Kō Hyūga]]. As Kō was not so fortunate, Hinata tried to find him medical attention, but he refused as his only concern was her safety. Once realising that Naruto was fighting Pain all by himself, she attempted to run to his side, but was stopped by Kō, who warned her she'd only be a burden. Just as she seemingly accepted Kō's words, Naruto was pinned down by Pain. She decided to intervene, despite knowing she did not have the ability to defeat him. When Naruto asked why she would throw away her life, she responded that it was because she loved him, which greatly shocked Naruto.
 
   
  +
Hinata refuses to cooperate and vows to save Hanabi on her own, to which Toneri observes that she doesn't know where Hanabi is. Naruto interrupts them and defeats Toneri, who turns out to only be another puppet. Toneri tells Hinata that he'll return later for her answer. Naruto and Hinata reunite with the rest of the team and exit the underground passage, arriving in what they later discover is the [[Moon]]'s interior. They split up to explore the surrounding landscape, with Naruto spending more time with Hinata. He now displays a greater interest in her thoughts and well-being, pleasing Hinata and giving her greater resolve to complete the scarf. As she is about to confide in him what Toneri told her, the rest of the team locates them and asks Hinata to look at a crypt they've found. There, Hinata is confronted by another member of the [[Ōtsutsuki clan]], who shows her visions of how to stop Toneri and who introduces her to Hamura himself, who asks her to save the Earth.
In the anime, she was able to remove a few of the [[Chakra Disruption Blades]] that were on Naruto and even land a blow against the [[Yahiko|Deva Path]]. While he did eventually subdue her with [[Shinra Tensei]], he was puzzled why she was willing to fight despite being weakened by his blow. Hinata, crawling near Naruto and still attempting to remove the chakra blade from him, replied by echoing Naruto's words: it is her [[nindō]]. With that response, the Deva Path stabbed her with one of his chakra blades. Enraged, Naruto slipped into his [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#Version 2|six-tailed form]], while a barely conscious Hinata looked on.

[[File:Naruto confesses to Hinata.png|thumb|left|Naruto tells Hinata he loves her.]]
As the battle between Naruto and Pain raged on, [[Team Guy]] arrived at Hinata's side, and rushed her away from the battlefield and to Sakura's side. When her wounds were healed, Hinata expressed relief over news that Naruto had defeated Pain. When Naruto came back to the village, she shed tears of joy that he was all-right, and was seen later on smiling as the villagers celebrated Naruto's victory.
 
  +
Hinata does not share her visions with the others and starts diligently trying to complete the scarf. When they make camp later that night, Naruto confronts Hinata and assures her they will save Hanabi. He also tells her that he loves her, leaving her speechless. Rather, when Toneri comes for Hinata's answer, she gives the finished scarf to Naruto with her goodbyes and leaves with Toneri. When Naruto asks Hinata if it's a lie that she will marry Toneri, she reluctantly does not deny it. Upon seeing Naruto being hit by Toneri's attack, Toneri immediately put her to sleep. After she wakes up in Toneri's castle, Hinata checks on Hanabi to make sure she's alright and locates the [[Tenseigan (Energy Vessel)|Tenseigan]] that Toneri is using to control the Moon's movements against the Earth. She spends her time making yet another scarf, and when she has a chance she slips away to try to destroy the Tenseigan. She is found by Toneri's puppets and Toneri himself detains her. Hinata tries to reason with Toneri that Hamura never wished to destroy earth, but he doesn't listen. After which Toneri destroys the new scarf, that is actually meant for Naruto, and places her under his control. After being placed inside a picture frame, Hinata shed a tear over her regret about "betraying" Naruto.

Hinata is forced to go through with a wedding ceremony, but as Toneri is about to kiss Hinata, Naruto interrupts the wedding. After Toneri leaves with her, Naruto is able to release her from Toneri's control, at which point she apologises to him for her earlier behaviour, though he states he already understands and forgives her. Toneri becomes distracted by his own awakening [[Tenseigan]], allowing Hinata to escape with Naruto to the primary Tenseigan's location. Because she possesses Hamura's chakra, only Hinata is able to destroy it. However, she lacks the raw strength to do so, and must instead channel her chakra into Naruto so that they can destroy it [[Gentle Wind Spiralling Twin Lion Fists: Snow White|together]]. With the Tenseigan gone, the Moon's movements stop and the puppets that the rest of the team is elsewhere fighting are rendered inert. The team reunites with them, bringing along a rescued Hanabi and the remains of Hinata's scarf. Even though it's in tatters, Naruto asks if he can have it anyway, which Hinata happily complies with.

Though she came to and put up a struggle, Hinata was ultimately saved by Neji and her father.

Toneri uses his own awakened Tenseigan to resume the Moon's movement towards the Earth. He then attacks them and captures Hinata, forcing her to watch as he tries to kill Naruto. Naruto ends up defeating him instead and Hinata, once freed, takes back Hanabi's eyes. Toneri tries to make one final attack and Naruto and Hinata prepare to face him together, but Toneri is knocked into space by the [[Hamura Ōtsutsuki Golem|statue]]. Naruto saves him and Toneri gives up, allowing Hinata to tell him Hamura's true wishes: to protect the Earth, not to destroy it. Toneri is repentant and remains behind when they head home, vowing not to let the Moon endanger the Earth again. As they return through the same passage they used before, Hinata asks Naruto about the scarf he's been wearing. He tells her it was a gift from his [[Kushina|mother]], causing her embarrassment that she would be jealous. Upon hearing Naruto say that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, Hinata sheds tears of joy. As the passageway disintegrates behind them, Naruto propels himself and Hinata back to the Earth, where they share their first kiss.

After returning from the Moon as an official couple, the news of their relationship spread like wildfire, leading to former classmates and older ninja teasing them. Months later, Hinata and Naruto organised to go on their [[After The Last|first date]] to [[Ramen Ichiraku]], as they were both off duty for once. Running into Sakura along the way, Hinata invited her to join them, but she declined. Later, the couple learned that she had been kidnapped by [[Kido Tsumiki]], leading to them joining Kakashi in going to rescue her. On finding Sakura, they discovered that she'd already defeated Kido, prompting them to congratulate her on her victory.
Hinata and the rest of the Konoha 11, minus Team Kakashi, decided that, in light of Sasuke's criminal actions, they should personally eliminate him before he can involve Konoha in a war. After Naruto was informed of their intentions and met with Sasuke, he told them to leave Sasuke to him. As several of the members voiced their discontentment with this as they feared that Sasuke's actions would incite a war, Hinata watched on as Naruto once again firmly stated that he would handle Sasuke and also tell them everything when the time was right.

Shortly after getting married, Hinata and Naruto had [[Boruto|a son]] and two years later they had [[Himawari|a daughter]]. On the day of Naruto's Hokage inauguration years later, Hinata volunteered to pick up his official Hokage haori with plans to meet him at the ceremony. When she arrived there, Naruto and their children have yet to arrive, leading to her returning home to find them.

Hinata was later assigned to the [[Second Division]] of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] alongside [[Neji]], [[Kurotsuchi]] and [[Karui]]. She commented that she was a little nervous, while Karui told her that war was nothing to worry about. However, she instantly noted that many ninja didn't trust each other due to years of being each other's enemies which worried her.

In the anime, on the day before the entrance ceremony for Boruto to attend the Academy, Hinata begins telling her children again about how her time in the Academy with Naruto was, only for Boruto show no interest as he already heard the story before. After Boruto's antics caused damage to the Hokage Rock, he was suspended for two weeks from the Academy, during which Hinata kept a close watch on him, making sure he didn't fall behind in his studies.
   
  +
When Boruto began [[Jōgan|seeing]] strange things that others couldn't, he asked Hinata about the Byakugan, which she explained to him. Later, after a troubling change in his behaviour, Boruto declared to his parents that he had awakened his Byakugan, shocking everyone. Hinata advised Boruto to go to Hiashi for better answers about his dōjutsu.
[[File:Hinata and Neji tag team.png|thumb|Hinata and Neji protecting each other during the war.]]
 
Hinata's division was deployed to an area where the [[White Zetsu Army]] was discovered travelling underground. When Kurotsuchi and [[Kitsuchi]] used their [[Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation|technique]] to unearth the army of Zetsu, she and Neji attacked them simultaneously with the [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm]]. Later during the battle, Hinata saved Neji from an attack by a White Zetsu clone.
 
   
  +
Later, when she discovered that Boruto was skipping classes (thanks to a poorly written excuse from his classmate [[Mitsuki]]), Hinata quickly confronted her son. The following day, Hinata met with Shino and it was ultimately decided that Boruto would have to make up the time he missed with after-school classes. After Boruto left, Hinata talked more with Shino, apologising for the trouble Boruto was causing, noting that he wanted her husband's attention to the point where, like his father, Boruto wants to make a name for himself. Shino then convinced Hinata to talk to Naruto about Boruto's actions. When Naruto came home late briefly for a change of clothing, the two spoke. Naruto expressed regret at not being a more attentive father, feeling that his lack of actual parenting growing up made him subpar as one himself, Hinata insisted that for all of Boruto's actions, deep down he understands Naruto's responsibilities as Hokage.
At the end of the first day of battle, after Neji collapsed from fatigue, Hinata took his place alongside Shino. When Shino told her not to overexert herself as he already had his [[kikaichū]] scattered around to help detect the enemy, Hinata thanked him and thinking about Naruto, she resolutely told him that failure was not an option as this was a war to protect Naruto.

Later, Hinata made a big feast to welcome Mitsuki. Much to her joy, Naruto was also joining them for dinner as he finished work early. However, as dinner was about to begin, learning from one of his dispersed clones, Naruto left to investigate a strange release of chakra spreading throughout the village.
In the anime, she, [[Shino]] and [[Kiba]] were sent to investigate a suspected breach of the Allied Shinobi Forces perimeter and encountered a cave filled with enemy White Zetsu Army forces. Engaging the forces, Hinata sent out a messenger owl to the Sealing Team and she alongside, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru, hold off the opposition until the team can arrive and seal the cave. When the two members of the sealing team arrived, they immediately began the process to seal the cave, however, as Team 8 escapes, the White Zetsu clones follow, forcing Kiba to attack them. In the process, a lamp was overturned and it lit a trail of oil leading to several crates of explosive tags. With Akamaru unable to douse the flames, the crates exploded with Hinata knocked out as a surviving White Zetsu clone absorbed her to pose as her. After Shino and Kiba snuffed the imposter out, her team-mates found her. Discussing what had transpired, the team's drive to destroy the enemy was renewed after they realised that the enemy had been using Yamato to gain personal intel on them, with Hinata shocked that their foes know of her feelings for Naruto.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 279</ref>

The next morning, Hinata's division resumed battling the White Zetsu Army clones. While fighting, she was attacked by three White Zetsu Army clones transformed into Kumo-nin simultaneously, but their attack was intercepted by one of Naruto's [[shadow clones]]. After Kiba, Akamaru, Shino and Neji arrived on the scene, Neji demanded that Naruto proved who he is, but Hinata told them that if they looked into his eyes, they would know that he was in fact Naruto. Lamenting the fact that though she wanted to protect Naruto, he ended up saving her instead. However, Naruto saw her sorrow and reassured her that she was very strong, recounting her coming to his aid during the [[invasion of Pain]], which she silently thanked him for. The team then mobilised to finish off the rest of the enemies.

After being informed by [[Inoichi]] from headquarters that Naruto and [[Killer B]] were fighting the "''[[masked Madara]]''", Hinata and the rest of the [[Konoha 11]] rushed to his aid. As she ran alongside Neji, she thought of Naruto and asked him to wait for her, and that instead of running after him, she'd be walking with him, hand-in-hand, once the war had ended. Finally arriving at the battlefield, Hinata guided Ino as she used the [[Mind Body Switch Technique]] to take control of Obito Uchiha, and sent the would-be fatal attack off-course. Hinata then immediately asked Naruto whether or not he was okay, and later stood with the rest of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] as they faced their opposition.

As several projectiles flew towards them, Hinata used the [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm]] to deflect them and watched on as her father later [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm|deflected]] one of the Ten-Tails' arms. When the beast decided to use a pinpoint attack on Naruto, Hinata realised that she would not be able to deflect it in time and was prepared to lie down her life a human shield. However, she found herself protected by Neji as he intercepted the fatal attack. Devastated, as her cousin fell on the battlefield, Hinata openly cried, as he imparted his final words to them and passed away.

While Boruto sought to fake forgetting by getting her a Kiri gift, Hinata suggested he just come clean with Himawari.

Amazed by the chakra that had surrounded her, and even further by the fact that Naruto was actually handling such chakra, Hinata later used the [[Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm]] to deflect one of the beast's tails which was headed towards her — a feat which amazed her father who was awed that the simple form of the technique had produced such a powerful effect. She then turned to see Lee mourning Neji's death and listened on as Obito attempted to decry their beliefs to no avail.

After the attack on Konoha by the [[Land of the Sky]], Naruto was assigned to escort a young girl, [[Amaru]], (whom he had mistaken for a boy) and her sensei, [[Shinnō]], back to their village, with Sakura and Hinata completing the three-man team. Upon arriving, they discovered it to have been attacked as well. A distraught Amaru recklessly ran into the village, accidentally setting off a trap hidden by the enemy. In the aftermath of the trap, Shinnō was tragically wounded in his successful attempt to save Amaru, and after a few weakened words, it was made apparent through Hinata's Byakugan that he was dying, and eventually appeared to succumb to his wounds.

While cleaning Naruto's office at home, Himawari discovers the jacket that Naruto used to wear, which Hinata smiles to see. Because it's Himawari's birthday, Hinata takes her out to buy food and decorations for the party later that night; they run into Boruto while they're out and he offers to carry his mother's bags. By the time they get home, they discover that Naruto is already there, having made a point to be home on time for the occasion. When Naruto later starts carrying Himawari's cake to the table to be served, he suddenly disappears, being only a [[shadow clone]]. The cake falls on the floor, making Himawari sad and Boruto angry. Hinata tries to convince Boruto that Naruto is doing the best that he can, but he leaves in anger and Hinata can only comfort Himawari. Sasuke later drops by looking for Naruto, so Hinata directs him to the Hokage office.
Shortly afterwards, the three split up to investigate the area. Hinata was kidnapped and was held prisoner, along with the rest of Amaru's villagers. Thanks to the aid of Amaru, they were able to escape the prison, and eventually the flying island itself, riding aboard a flying boat of sorts down to the ground below. Hinata then became happy as Amaru saved Naruto from falling to his death.

Boruto enters the [[Chūnin Exams]] being held in Konoha and advances to the final round matches. While Hinata watches the fights with Himawari, Naruto approaches her and asks that she watch Boruto closely with her Byakugan. In doing so, she notices that he's using the [[Kote]], a prohibited device that forces Naruto to disqualify him and leaves her disappointed in her son. The stadium is then immediately attacked by [[Kinshiki]] and [[Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki]], and Hinata evacuates with the other spectators. When she learns that Naruto has been captured by Kinshiki and Momoshiki, Hinata goes after them in an effort to rescue him and is badly injured. Sakura heals her, but when she's told that Boruto plans to join Sasuke's rescue effort, she forces herself up so that she can stop him from going. When she sees him wearing Naruto's old jacket, she is reminded of his father and decides to believe in Boruto just as she always believes in Naruto.
Hinata was first seen when they celebrated for Naruto and Sai's recovery and ate barbecue, where she explained that she was told by Naruto to invite everyone.

Naruto is eventually rescued and life in Konoha returns to normal. After having breakfast with her family, Hinata starts to repair the damage Boruto received to his own jacket, but he asks her not to, believing it looks "cooler" while damaged, much to her pleasant surprise. She and Himawari see Naruto and Boruto off at the front door, wishing them both luck with their respective days.
Later, Hinata was sent with the rest of Konoha 11 to retrieve back Naruto and Sakura. Hinata's team caught up with Naruto and Sakura, with the rest of Konoha 11. Hinata and the others was caught by one of [[Hiruko (missing-nin)|Hiruko]]'s henchmen [[Ichi]], and was freed by Tenten. Team Guy was left behind to take down the first of Hiruko's henchmen.

When Konohagakure was put on lockdown after the apparent betrayal of Mitsuki, Boruto decided to leave the village in search of the truth, convincing Sarada to join him. Hinata became deeply worried about her son and likewise apologised to Sakura for him involving Sarada. Sakura however insisted that both kids knew what penalties they would probably face with this action and was sure they would be fine, which comforted Hinata somewhat.
   
  +
Upon Boruto's return home, an angry and relieved Hinata joined Himawari in hugging Boruto to welcome him home.
Hinata is later seen at Hiruko's temple, being as part of the Konoha 11 aiding taking down the Chimera that was summoned by Hiruko earlier. Hinata and Neji attacked the beast using the [[Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] technique. Hinata made her last appearance along with the rest of Konoha 11, overhearing Kakashi and Naruto's weird conversation and stating that she never knew Kakashi had such preferences, along with Sakura and Ino, deeply embarrassing him.

Later, when a more proper safehouse for Shukaku was prepared, Naruto proceeded to have the tailed beast moved to it.

However, like her other self, the alternate Hinata is in love with [[Menma (movie)|Naruto]] of her world, but is much more confident and aggressive about it to the point of threatening any girl with Naruto.

Later, Hinata watched as an eager Boruto quickly finished his breakfast in hopes to train more with Sasuke. Hinata noted that Boruto was just like Naruto at that age, always eager to train with his mentor Jiraiya. Hinata then showed Himawari and Boruto a photo of the Sannin, who Himawari noted looked eccentric and wild. Hinata told her kids about Jiraiya's greatness as a ninja and how influential he was to Naruto, even becoming a father-figure. Later that night, Hinata found Boruto looking through Naruto's belongings for the ''[[Icha Icha]]'' series, hoping to learn more about Jiraiya and the "wisdom" it gave. After glancing at a few pages and seeing its adult content, Hinata sternly forbade Boruto from reading the books, insisting that he was too young.

Meanwhile, the grown-up Sasuke and Boruto were later sent back in time to shortly after Sasuke's defection. There, the two pretended to be travelling performers and were put under watch by Naruto. Past-Hinata met her future son, who despite her normal shy nature, felt calm and open to Boruto. Later, she and her friends helped Boruto and Naruto clean up a bathhouse after the commotion Naruto and Jiraiya caused. Days later, after Sasuke and Boruto managed to kill Urashiki and end his terror, they decided to return to their time promptly to preserve the timeline. To ensure that, Sasuke first used his Sharingan to [[Genjutsu: Sharingan|erase]] the memories of everyone he and Boruto came in contact of the recent events.

  +
  +
After Boruto was released from the hospital and began training under Kakashi Hatake to grow stronger, while her daughter was still concerned for Boruto, Hinata insisted that Boruto was a true ninja and desired to be of true aid to others. Instead, Hinata suggested that Himawari helped cheer Boruto on by helping her mother make a bento and deliver it to him.
  +
  +
In the following days, as Hinata continued to provide support for Boruto by bringing him lunches while training, she discovered that Sakura was growing concerned for Sarada's well-being in her own training, especially given the Uchiha's history with loss. Ino and Hinata decided to take Sakura out on a girl's night to talk. They insisted that as mothers themselves, they too fear for their children's well-being, but they have to have faith that they are strong and can endure. Their words managed to cheer up Sakura.

When [[Team 7 (Konohamaru)|Boruto's team]] returned from their mission with a mysterious boy of unique [[Kāma|abilities]], rather than lock him up, Naruto, sympathising as a former man-made potential weapon, decided to treat the boy as a guest to the village and let him live at his home. During which, despite Hinata treating him with kindness like any other, the rebellious boy kept seeing everyone as his enemy. He soon made his move to escape, only to be stopped by Naruto's brief show of [[Six Paths Sage Mode|power]]. When Boruto returned, he and the boy got into a confrontation over the latter's recent actions destroying Himawari‘s personal vase, which she made as a gift to Hinata. As Himawari began cleaning up the broken pieces, the boy gruffly apologised for his unintentional mistake, introducing himself as [[Kawaki]].

Later, as Kawaki attempted to find a missing fragment of the vase, Naruto doubted he would be able to find it, as Hinata cleans the house everyday. Hinata and Himawari left to shop for dinner just before [[Jigen]] appeared in their home.

Later, following Isshiki's permanent death, they decided to throw a welcome dinner party for Kawaki, to show he was truly welcomed in the Uzumaki home. While Kawaki asked to throw away a box of old magazines, Hinata watched a movie with Naruto with emotion. Later, Boruto rushed in to alert his parents that Kawaki had evaded surveillance and left the village.

While preparing for dinner with Naruto, she wished that Boruto and Kawaki could join them, asking Naruto how long their mission could take. Having left the house, Kawaki joined them, wishing to talk to Naruto. Kawaki told them how much Naruto meant to him, and how far he was willing to go to get rid of all Ōtsutsuki, Boruto included. Hinata was hurt by it and slapped Kawaki. He conceded he might be insane for what he was willing to do, and sent them away with a rift to stop them from interfering, willing to bear their hate and welcoming them to kill him when he was done. Naruto and Hinata were kept in [[Daikokuten]], suspended in time, unable to think, age, and requiring no air or sustenance.

In later instalments of the [[Clash of Ninja (series)|''Clash of Ninja'' series]], Hinata is playable in an "awakened" form. In this form, her clothes are similar to what she wore during the [[Bikōchū Search Mission]], though the form itself is not based on the events of that arc. Awakened Hinata has a personality similar to Neji's during the Chūnin Exams, arrogantly challenging opponents and boasting about the power of the main branch of the Hyūga clan. While in this form, she is also able to use techniques such as [[Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms]] and [[Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven]]. Most ''Clash of Ninja'' games require that this awakened Hinata be selected separately, but in ''[[Clash of Ninja Revolution 3]]'', normal Hinata can transform into her in the middle of battle by activating her Byakugan. A similar form appears in ''[[Ultimate Ninja 2]]'', dubbed "Byakugan Hinata", with the main difference being she wears the traditional Hyūga attire.

In several of the ''Ultimate Ninja Storm'' games, the team combination of Hinata and Naruto is titled "Secret Lovers" or "Joined Hands".

Hinata Uzumaki (うずまきヒナタ, Uzumaki Hinata, née Hyūga (日向)) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure. Formerly the heiress of the Hyūga clan, she lost the position upon being deemed unsuited for the responsibilities of leading the clan. Nonetheless, Hinata persevered and from her observation of Naruto Uzumaki especially, Hinata found an example to follow. Through her membership with Team 8, she sought to become strong enough to change herself, if even a little at a time. A few years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata joined the Uzumaki clan after marrying Naruto.

Background

Hanabi's Gentle Fist

Hinata and Hanabi fight for the heiress position.

Hinata is the oldest daughter of Hiashi Hyūga. When she was still a child, Hinata was almost kidnapped by the-then Head Ninja of Kumogakure, who was visiting Konoha under the guise of signing a peace treaty between their two villages. Hiashi killed him and saved Hinata, setting in motion the events that would become known as the "Hyūga Affair".[9]

Because Hiashi was the head of the Hyūga clan, Hinata was raised to be its heiress and her family expected great things from her. But even at a young age, her father came to believe that Hinata was not suited for the role of heiress, as she struggled under his gruesome training regime, on top of him also believing that her timid personality prevented her from truly excelling. When Hinata's younger sister Hanabi started displaying superior talent, Hiashi began to reconsider Hinata's selection as heiress. In the anime, Hinata and Hanabi were pitted against each other to determine who would one day lead the Hyūga. Because Hinata was unwilling to harm Hanabi - a hesitation Hanabi did not share - she was defeated, disappointing her father.[10] Hinata was then disinherited and turned over to the care of Kurenai Yūhi.[11]

Naruto's first encounter with Hinata

Hinata meets Naruto.

On the day of her enrolment in Konoha's Academy,[12] Hinata was picked on by three bullies because of her unusual eyes. Naruto, despite not knowing her, immediately came to her defence, but he was outnumbered and knocked unconscious, and the bullies damaged the red scarf he was wearing. When he regained consciousness, Hinata thanked him for helping her and returned his scarf to him, but he let her keep it. Hinata started watching Naruto from that point onwards, and by doing so saw Naruto's desire to gain attention and his struggle to exceed the extremely low expectations others had for him. Despite this, Naruto never lost faith in himself or his dream to become the Hokage. Hinata was inspired by this and started emulating Naruto, adopting his refusal to never give up as a means of earning her father's approval. In the anime, Hinata's growing affections for Naruto were noticed by the Hyūga's elders, who warned her to stay away from him.[13]

Personality

As a child, Hinata was soft-spoken and polite, always addressing people with proper honourifics. She is kind, always thinking of others more than for herself, caring for their feelings and well-being. She doesn't like being confrontational for any reason. This led to her being meek or timid to others, as her overwhelming kindness can render her unable to respond or act for fear of offending somebody.[14] Her father's constant push to alter this personality trait when she was younger only made it worse, eroding Hinata's self-confidence and making her even more bashful because she gained so little faith in herself and opinions.[3] Despite being disinherited, Hinata loves her family very much, as shown when she "agreed" to marry Toneri in order to rescue Hanabi even though she knew it meant breaking Naruto's heart and the possibility she and Toneri actually would get married.

Hinata's outlook sees a shift after her appointment to Team 8. Whereas her father and much of the Hyūga clan had decided she was a lost cause who would never amount to anything,[15] her team considers her a valuable member with her special strong points. Originally, she would over-rely on her teammates, looking to them in times of difficulty to save her from situations that make her uncomfortable. It is for her teammates - among other reasons - that Hinata starts seeking to change herself, as she wishes to help the team rather than burden it.[16]

Hinata's dream

Hinata dreams of being with Naruto.

Hinata's primary motivation is Naruto Uzumaki, with whom she has been fascinated since meeting him. He initially gained her attention because of his kindness to her and outspoken nature, and then kept her attention because of similarities that Hinata perceived to herself: Naruto had a painful childhood without the love of parents, a fate worse than the mere difficulty she had with her own father, and he craves the attention and acknowledgement of anybody, just as Hinata wants to please her father.[17] But whereas Hinata lost faith in herself, Naruto always believed he can accomplish any given task if he tries hard enough. She admires him deeply for this courage and over time fell deeply in love with him, which manifests as increased shyness and speechlessness when around him, something that became apparent to everyone, apart from ironically Naruto himself. Hinata strives to prove herself to others, but mostly to gain the attention and worthiness of Naruto. She emulates him to this purpose, adopting his nindō of never giving up to improve herself. To that end, she stops running from confrontation, instead doing all that she can to face it, even in the face of failure to keep trying, and willing to risk her life for her loved ones and village.[18] By the end of Part I, her clan's faith in her is restored and strengthened.[19]

Scary Hinata

Hinata's intimidating demeanour.

Throughout the years, Naruto remains her primary motivation; she willingly faced Pain to protect Naruto, despite knowing she has no chance of winning.[20] She even defends Naruto from himself when he's in doubt, repeating to him his refusal to never give up.[21] Two years after the war, upon achieving her greatest dream of having her love reciprocated by Naruto to form a deep and committed relationship together, she became more expressive about her feelings. In the anime, she is able to laugh openly because of it.[22] After marrying Naruto and he becomes Hokage, Hinata remains supportive of him and his increased responsibilities, even though she yearns for him to be home more often. As a mother and wife, she has become a master homemaker, keeping the family well-structured yet well-adjusted and happy. While very loving and supportive of her family, she is equally strict and assertive. Her newfound structured nature made her very intimidating and more easily angered when her family acts up, easily keeping them in line and swiftly punishing them for their misconduct.[23][8] She is also insightful and wise with her words, realising that her children, particularly Boruto, take after Naruto in the desire to prove themselves to others and that she must believe in them to do things on their own.[24]

Appearance

Hinata is a slender girl of fair-complexion who, as a Hyūga, her most distinguishing trait is the Byakugan, giving her featureless white eyes (lavender in the anime). She has dark blue hair that she keeps in a hime-cut of different lengths: in Part I, her hair is cut just above her forehead akin to a bowl-cut with chin-length strands framing her face; in Part II, her hair reaches her lower back and the framing strands reach shoulder-length; in The Last: Naruto the Movie, her hair extends beyond her hips and she would at times tie it into a ponytail. By the time Boruto entered the Academy, she cut it into a bob-style reaching her shoulders.[25] She is noted to be beautiful by Naruto[12] and Toneri Ōtsutsuki.

In Part I, Hinata usually wears a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem. She also wears navy blue pants and keeps her forehead protector loosely around her neck. In Part II, she dons a lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour. She also wears navy blue pants, black, low-heeled sandals, and changes the cloth of her forehead protector from blue to black. Hinata switches to the standard Konoha infantry flak jacket and assorted clothing during the Fourth Shinobi World War, though she does not appear to wear a forehead protector.

Two years after the war, Hinata's mission attire is a form-fitting light lavender, sleeveless kimono-style blouse with vertical lines, tied with a dark purple obi around her waist and short dark navy shorts. She also wore thigh-high stockings with black, open-toed boots. She does not wear her forehead protector at all. Her outfits become more varied after that, changing to match the occasion or simply being more casual than her prior garb. During Hinata's and Toneri's wedding, she wore a wide black and grey top with a long grey sash around her waist. She also wore short puffy pants with black lace socks and sandals. On her head was a black turban with a black and light yellow veil over and yellow crescent moon earrings. During Hinata's and Naruto's wedding, she wore a traditional white kimono with a flower in her hair. After getting married, she consistently wears a light purple short-sleeved jacket, a long-sleeved white shirt with a two pink coloured strips underneath it, light brown shorts and purple open-toed boots. In the Boruto manga, Hinata has a necklace with the Uzumaki symbol on it.

Abilities

Hinata fights a Ten-Tails' replica

Hinata repelling a Ten-Tails mini-clone with the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Originally, Hinata's gentle personality hindered her performance, to which she was deemed too weak and unworthy for the role of heir.[26] After committing herself getting stronger in her training for Naruto, receiving consistent praise from her team and clan for her improving skills and strengthening character.[27][20][18] Two years after the war, Hinata, having been recognised by Hamura Ōtsutsuki as the Byakugan Princess, proves to be crucial in the destruction of the Tenseigan, even though she herself can't destroy it.[7]

Over a decade later, while rusty as she retired to be a housewife, Hinata's prowess still remained formidable. Despite being unprepared and reluctant to fight Hanabi, an active jōnin who continues training to become the next Hyūga clan leader, Hinata decisively defeated her sister in a the match.[28]

Chakra Prowess and Control

Twin Lions Crumbling Attack

Hinata's Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fist using Hamura's chakra.

From her special clan training, Hinata has advanced control of her chakra. In the anime, Hinata's additional training during Part I resulted in her ability to free herself from contraints[29] and manipulate nearby water sources, turning them into projectiles.[30] By Part II of the anime, Hinata's control has advanced enough to match a medical-nin's, for which reason she is assigned to help perform the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier.

When she met Hamura, Hinata inherited some of his chakra because she is a member of the Hyūga clan's main house. It is the strength and purity of her chakra that attracts Toneri Ōtsutsuki. It is also because of her being the member of the Hyūga clan's main house and direct bloodline from Hamura that she can touch and find the Tenseigan, though she can't destroy it by herself, so instead she held Naruto's hand to give him allowance to touch the Tenseigan and for him to destroy it, since anyone without the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki bloodline can't touch it.

Byakugan

Hinata's byakugan

Hinata's Byakugan.

As a Hyūga, Hinata possesses the Byakugan, a dōjutsu that grants her penetrative vision in a near-360° around herself, with one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra.[31] With it, she is able to assist others frequently in tracking, scouting the area for their target(s); by focusing her vision in a single direction, Hinata can see across vast distances, able to see at least 1 kilometre during her first Chūnin Exam, and reaching as far away as 20 kilometres by the battle against Toneri. Hinata's Byakugan grants her attacks pinpoint accuracy, which she can share with others to also improve their own.[32] She can also use it in order to identify genjutsu, searching for the caster in the nearby area.[33] In the anime, Hinata can use infrared vision and magnify in to see tiny targets.[34] By adulthood, the chakra sensitivity provided by the Byakugan allows her to pick up on the slightest presence of chakra.[35]

Physical Prowess

As is traditional in her clan, Hinata has been extensively trained in the Gentle Fist fighting style. In unison with her Byakugan, Hinata can attack accurately target an individuals' chakra pathway systems and the 361 tenketsu that run along it, constricting or cutting off their chakra flow from only minimal contact.[15] Although this enables Hinata to attack an opponent's internal organs, she can also use it in a supplementary function, such as by setting dislocated shoulders back in place.[36]

Hakke Kūhekishō

Hinata and Neji combining their Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palms.

While Hinata hadn't yet mastered her clan's most advanced techniques in Part I, in the anime, she created the Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms as an alternative, which effectively protects her and attacks anything within range with sharp streams of chakra emitted from her palms.[37] By Part II, she had grown accustomed to more of her clan's techniques. During Pain's Assault, Hinata could use the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, a technique that drains the target of their chakra where struck. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata could use the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm to attack targets outside her physical range or deflect incoming attacks,[38] which increases in power if used in conjunction with others.[39] She also mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms in the war.[40] By the time she reaches adulthood, she became well-known for her mastery of the Gentle Fist.[41] As an adult, she could even knock out a target with a single strike to their tenketsu.[42][43] Hinata is also proven to be very resilient, having survived an assault by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki.

Ninjutsu

While Hinata doesn't usually use ninjutsu, by the Fourth Shinobi World War, her nature transformations included Fire and Lightning Release.[4] In the anime, she also demonstrated proficiency in medical ninjutsu, able to use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal the wounded.[44]

Part I

Prologue — Land of Waves

Main article: Prologue — Land of Waves In the anime, while the graduates of her Academy class are being assigned to teams, Hinata hopes that she will be on the same team as Naruto Uzumaki. To her disappointment, she is instead added to Kurenai Yūhi's Team 8, along with Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. Kurenai reports this to Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyūga, but he is unconcerned and in fact abandons Hinata to Kurenai's care, feeling she is unworthy of the Hyūga clan.[15]

Chūnin Exams

Main article: Chūnin Exams

Naruto and hinata at first exam

Hinata lets Naruto copy her test.

Despite how recently they graduated from the Academy, Kurenai enters Team 8 in the Chūnin Exams being held in Konoha; Hinata agrees to participate because she wants to change herself. For the exams' first stage, Hinata is seated next to Naruto as they take a written test. The objective in the first stage is to cheat off of other examinee's paper without getting caught, but Naruto doesn't realise this and agonises about potentially failing. Seeing this, Hinata offers to let him copy off of her paper. He suspects she's trying to trick him, but she assures him that she only wants to be helpful. Although he considers taking her up on her offer, Naruto ultimately declines, fearing that he'll get her disqualified if they're caught and claiming that, besides, he isn't the type to cheat.

Although Naruto is given the opportunity to forfeit, he refuses to do so, and for his determination, he passes the first stage along with Hinata and their teams. For the second stage, participants enter the Forest of Death with the objective of obtaining a set of two scrolls, one of which they are given at the start. Team 8 manages to collect their second scroll right after the second stage has started, and so they head for the centre of the forest where they're supposed to turn in the scrolls. Along the way, Kiba's partner, Akamaru, senses the Three Sand Siblings' fight with Team Shigure. Team 8 watches the fight from the cover of some nearby bushes and is horrified when Gaara mercilessly kills all of Team Shigure. After they're certain Gaara won't kill them too, they proceed to the centre of the forest.

After passing the second stage, the remaining participants take part in one-on-one preliminary matches. During Naruto's fight with Kiba, Hinata's loyalties are torn; she wants to cheer for Naruto, but fears that would be rude to Kiba. When Naruto wins the fight, Hinata gives both him and Kiba some of the Hyūga Clan Secret Ointment so that their wounds will heal faster. As he's being taken away to rest, Kiba pleads for Hinata to forfeit if she's matched against Gaara or her cousin, Neji Hyūga. She is indeed matched against the latter, a member of a Hyūga clan branch house who hates all members of the main house. Neji, like Kiba, tries to convince Hinata to forfeit, telling her that she's too meek and insecure to be a ninja. She begins to offer arguments in her defence, but Neji persists, claiming that she is fated to be a failure, a fact that he believes she's aware of due to her frightened reaction to what he says.

Gentle fist

Hinata fights Neji.

Neji's words cause Hinata to cry, but also anger the watching Naruto, who insists that Hinata can change herself if she wants to and who encourages her to defeat Neji. Because Naruto has faith in her, Hinata refuses to forfeit and prepares to fight; Neji is surprised by the new confidence in her. Hinata and Neji exchange Gentle Fist-blows, but only Neji's are effective, which he reveals to be because he sealed her tenketsu at the start of their fight. Although her attacks are ineffective against him, Hinata continues fighting, in the process enduring mounting internal trauma from Neji's counterattacks. Neji repeatedly tells her to forfeit, but Hinata refuses, unwilling to back down both as a matter of principle and because Naruto continues to cheer for her.

Shinobi Stop Neji

Hinata is saved from Neji.

Neji directly attacks Hinata's heart, leading all but Naruto to believe she's been defeated. When Hayate Gekkō is about to declare Neji the winner, Naruto stops him and motions to Hinata struggling to her feet. Neji tells her that her attempts to fight her destiny are only bringing her harm, but she rebuts that his own attempt to fight the destiny of the branch house brings him even more harm. Neji is enraged and attempts to kill her, but he is stopped by the observing jōnin. Hinata collapses, the damage to her organs being too severe, and before she loses consciousness she sees Naruto checking on her; she wonders if she managed to change at all. She's taken away by a team of medical-nin to be given emergency medical attention.

After a month, on the day of the Chūnin Exams' final matches, Hinata has recovered somewhat. Although she's supposed to take it easy, she practices at the Third Training Ground. Naruto stops there on his way to finals and is glad to see she's better. Because he's scheduled to fight Neji, Naruto shares his concerns that he might not be strong enough to defeat him. Hinata says that she believes he is strong enough, and that even if he isn't physically strong he still has strength of perseverance: a willingness to keep trying despite apparent failure until he finally conquers his obstacle. She admires him for that. Naruto is put at ease, thanks her, and informs her that his impression of her as "weird" was wrong, as he actually likes her. Hinata is left speechless as he walks away.

Hinata watches Naruto's fight against Neji with Kiba. Seeing Naruto receive so many of Neji's attacks upsets Hinata and causes her internal injuries to begin bleeding again. Kiba gets an Anbu (Kabuto Yakushi) to treat her. Although the Anbu heals her, she is rendered unconscious and thus is unable to watch Naruto's defeat of Neji.

Konoha Crush

Main article: Konoha Crush In the anime, when the invasion of Konoha begins, the still-unconscious Hinata is kidnapped by Kumo-nin. She is rescued by Neji, who has had a change of perspective as a result of his loss to Naruto. Several days after the invasion is successfully repelled, Hinata attends the Third Hokage's funeral.

Sasuke Recovery Mission

Main article: Sasuke Recovery Mission According to Kiba, Hinata visited Naruto while he was in the Konoha Hospital after his failed attempt to stop Sasuke Uchiha from defecting from Konoha. When she saw how badly hurt he was, she immediately fainted.

Bikōchū Search Mission

Main article: Bikōchū Search Mission

Bikochumo Beetle

Team 8 and Naruto searching for the bikōchū.

In the anime, Team 8 (at Hinata's insistence) helps Naruto find a bikōchū, which he can use to locate Sasuke by scent. After a day of searching, Hinata goes off by herself and trains by a waterfall in order to create a new jutsu. Naruto sees her, though he doesn't realise it's Hinata; she becomes embarrassed when he later tells Kiba about the "beautiful girl" he saw. When they are attacked by members of the Kamizuru clan, Hinata uses her new Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to save her team. Although they ultimately fail in their plan to use the bikōchū to find Sasuke, their near-success earns praise from Hinata's father, Hiashi.

Academy Student Lead Mission

Main article: Academy Student Lead Mission In the anime, Hinata is put in charge of a team of Academy students (Nobori, Daichi, and Matsuri) to teach them survival skills. Very little of their exercise is seen, but Hinata does teach her students how to establish a campsite.

Gosunkugi Capture Mission

Main article: Gosunkugi Capture Mission In the anime, Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata are assigned to catch a thief, Gosunkugi. Gosunkugi is captured by a bounty hunter before they can catch him themselves, for which reason their mission is officially deemed a failure.

Buried Gold Excavation Mission

Main article: Buried Gold Excavation Mission In the anime, Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata are sent on another mission together in order to improve their teamwork, which their previous mission failures suggests they lack. While searching for a buried treasure, they are attacked by the Kedōin clan, who impersonate each of them so that they can infiltrate Konoha and destroy it from within. Although they escape from the Kedōin, Naruto and Kiba must stop them by themselves due to a leg injury Hinata sustained. She later returned to Konoha and mistakenly attacked Naruto, whom she believed to be an impostor.

Peddlers Escort Mission

Main article: Peddlers Escort Mission In the anime, Naruto, Hinata, and Chōji Akimichi are sent to the Land of Vegetables to escort some merchants. A princess, Haruna, is embedded with the merchants, leading to an attack by the Janin. Hinata is tasked with guarding Haruna, and in the course of doing that she fights and defeats Jiga.

Lady Daimyō Search Mission

Main article: Lady Daimyō Search Mission In the anime, Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata are sent to the Land of Honey to search for the missing Kayo. When they start to notice something strange about the castle they're search, Hinata uses her Byakugan to discover that the castle is alive.

Sunagakure Support Mission

Main article: Sunagakure Support Mission In the anime, Hinata and the Konoha 11 are sent to help the Three Sand Siblings defeat the Four Celestial Symbols Men. Shikamaru Nara, their team leader, assigns Neji, Hinata, and Shino to clear out the areas.

After they get back to Konoha - in a scene that happens at the end of the Sasuke Recovery Mission in the manga - Hinata serves drinks to Neji and Hiashi while they train together. At Neji's encouragement, Hinata watches Naruto as he departs Konoha for several years of training, vowing to work just as hard as he plans to.

Interlude

In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths

Main article: In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths In the anime, Konoha and Sunagakure hold a joint Chūnin Exam two years after Naruto's departure, which Team 8 once again enters. During the first exam, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino are seated in different rooms and are tasked with getting a combined score of exactly 100 points on their written test despite their separation.[45] Neji comes up with the idea for teams to communicate which questions to answer by producing vibrations on the walls. After the initial testing period is over, they are given a bonus question: each team must unanimously select one of their members to disqualify from the rest of the exams. Team 8 selects nobody, which is the correct answer and which qualifies them for the next phase.[46]

Team Kurenai Chūnin Exams

Team 8 awaiting to begin the second stage of the Chūnin Exams.

Those who pass the first test must reach the Demon Desert within three days in order to participate in the second exam. Ultimately, Team 8 were among the first 30 teams to make it. The following night, as all the genin were ready to eat dinner, everyone grew nervous about the overly-sweaty Burami ruining the food, which caused the genin to quickly try to stop him, resulting in Neji using the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven and accidentally destroying the food. As tension grew between everyone over the recent event, an all-out brawl began. Eventually everyone lost their desire to fight when Fū arrived with her optimistic ways. The following day, as the second exam began Team 8 were given the same objective as they had in the exam several years ago: obtain a scroll from another team.[47]

Flag Current 1

Hinata faces off against Kazami.

Following a simple plan by Kiba, Team 8 began talking loudly for all to hear, waiting for another team with a Heaven scroll to come after them. Ultimately, they encounter Team Kazami, with Hinata facing off against Kazami. Deciding to make the first move Hinata begins attacking Kazami. Realising Hinata's goal was to attack his Chakra Pathway System Kazami creates various sharp air currents which she counters using the Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. During the ensuing fight the other team is able to steal their scroll. Despite Team Kazami's attempts to prevent Team 8 from pursuing them, Shino is able to track them using his kikaichū.[48] During their search, Team 8 is ambushed by Team Kazami, though they are able to escape thanks to Shino's insect clone. They regroup and then reengage battle against Team Kazami, with Kiba ultimately defeating them. With their own scroll back and with Team Kazami's scroll now in their possession, Team 8 heads to the centre of the desert to turn in the scrolls.[49]

Team 8 eventually gets lost in a sandstorm along the way.[50] They are rescued by one of the exam's proctors, who brings them to where all of the other examinees are being assembled. They are informed that the Chūnin Exams have been cancelled; reports on the participants' performances will be sent back to their villages, leaving their promotion up to their superiors. When they get back to Konoha, the Fifth Hokage promotes Hinata, Kiba, and Shino to chūnin.[51]

As she approaches them, she sees them talking to Naruto. She screams in surprise and hides behind a fence while she tries to build up the courage to greet him. Having heard her scream, Naruto investigates the source and, finding Hinata, says hello to her, inadvertently making her collapse from shock. Naruto invites Team 8 to help him on a mission to find Sasuke, but they can't since they've already got another assignment.

In the anime, Kakashi Hatake recruits Team 8's members to help him investigate one of Orochimaru's recently-discovered bases. During their investigation, they are attacked by some of Orochimaru's subordinates, Team Guren. When Kiba struggles against Nurari, Hinata switches with him, using her Byakugan to navigate through the smoke Nurari employs. The team's leader, Guren, soon traps Team 8 in her Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique. Although the labyrinth's reflective surface makes it difficult for her to focus with her Byakugan, Hinata is able to locate Guren and defeat one of her Jade Crystal Clones, but is then encased in a crystal prison, where she remains until found by Team 7.

When they come across the Three-Tails, Hinata is assigned to a team tasked with sealing it. They are interrupted by Team Guren before they can complete the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier, prompting Konoha to recall them and send Anbu to seal the Three-Tails in their place.

Eight Man Squad

The Eight Man Squad formed to pursue Itachi and Sasuke.

Teams 7 and 8 are combined into an Eight Man Squad with the mission of locating Sasuke or Itachi Uchiha. When they split up to search, Naruto, because he's a target of Akatsuki, is given a protective escort in the form of Hinata, Yamato, and Bull. Their group is soon confronted by Kabuto Yakushi, who offers them intel on Akatsuki and its members. Noticing something strange about Kabuto, Hinata examines him with her Byakugan and discovers that a third of his body has been taken over by Orochimaru's remains. Kabuto escapes and they later regroup with the rest of the team. Kiba is able to find Sasuke's trail, which they begin following.

Fated Battle Between Brothers

Main article: Fated Battle Between Brothers As they near Sasuke's location, they are intercepted by Tobi of Akatsuki. They make repeated attempts to kill or capture him, but every attack passes through him without sign of damage. Suspecting a genjutsu is being used, Hinata searches the area with her Byakugan to locate a caster, but can find nobody. She focuses on Tobi's chakra signature to try and understand how his ability works, but is mystified when it simply vanishes. Tobi leaves them when he receives news that Itachi has died while fighting Sasuke. Hinata uses her Byakugan to locate where their fight took place and they rush to reach Sasuke before Tobi does, but they are too late and cannot rediscover his trail.

Six-Tails Unleashed

Main article: Six-Tails Unleashed In the anime, Katsuyu meets them as they return to Konoha to give them a new mission: helping the Tsuchigumo clan protect its forbidden technique. Kakashi sends the rest of Team 7 to complete the mission while he returns to the village with Team 8.

Pain's Assault

Hinata protecting Naruto

Hinata protects Naruto.

When Pain's Assault on Konoha begins, Hinata joins her teammates in defending the village. Pain later destroys the village, but Hinata is saved from harm by Katsuyu. Hinata's bodyguard, Kō Hyūga, is not as fortunate, but he refuses Hinata's attempts to find him medical attention. Hinata watches as Naruto fights Pain alone, initially obeying Katsuyu's and Kō's instructions not to interfere. After Naruto is captured by Pain's Deva Path, however, Hinata does not hesitate to come to his defence, forcing the Deva Path away from him. Naruto pleads for her to run away, telling her that she can't defeat Pain. Despite knowing this already, she tells Naruto that she will fight Pain because, after years of watching him and improving herself by following his example, Hinata loves Naruto and will do what she can to protect him.

Hinata starts attacking the Deva Path with her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists. In the anime, she succeeds in removing some of the black receivers that restrains Naruto and even hitting the Deva Path, but the outcome remains the same: the Deva Path quickly defeats her with Shinra Tensei. The Deva Path then stabs her with another black receiver, leading Naruto to believe Hinata has been killed and thus causing him to enter a version 2 form. Hinata, however, is still alive, and when Team Guy finds her, Neji gets her immediate medical attention. Sakura Haruno heals Hinata's injuries, allowing her to tearfully join in the village's celebration when Naruto returns after defeating Pain.

Hyuga Clan Meeting

Hinata attends the Hyūga clan meeting to discuss upcoming war.

In the anime, Hinata was present at the Hyūga clan meeting convened by her father, Hiashi. After hearing Hiashi declaration that Neji was to lead the clan's forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War, she was quite shocked. After the meeting she overheard Kō contest with her father about his decision, reminding him of how much Hinata had grown and that she was from the main house. Hiashi, however, told him that it wasn't because he lacked faith in Hinata but because she still lacked enough self-confidence to lead the shinobi during war.[52]

Later, Hinata met with Kurenai and was told that several members of the Konoha 11 have encountered Naruto while he traveled to the Land of Lightning. When Hinata was summoned to a meeting with the Fifth Hokage, she was hopeful that she would also get sent on such a mission. After much searching for where exactly the Hokage was, Hinata was disappointed to learn that the Hokage only wanted to discuss Neji's selection to lead the Hyūga during the approaching Fourth Shinobi World War. She was later invited to Yakiniku Q to have dinner with other girls in her age group. The dinner's conversation turned to Naruto, during which Hinata realised that she doesn't need to go on a mission with Naruto to be able to help him.

Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation

Hinata and Neji

Hinata and Neji protecting each other.

When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, Hinata is placed alongside Neji in the Second Division. Their entire division is sent to intercept a large segment of the White Zetsu Army, which Neji and Hinata join forces in attacking after Kitsuchi unearths the Zetsu army. Although the Zetsus suffer heavy casualties, their numbers are too great and the fight becomes one of attrition. After a day of fighting, Neji collapses from exhaustion, at which point Hinata takes responsibility for monitoring the Second Division's perimeter with her Byakugan. Shino encourages her not to over-exert herself, but she assures him that she doesn't mind since she's fighting to keep Naruto safe.

In the anime, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino investigate a possible breach of the Allied Shinobi Forces' perimeter. They discover several White Zetsus within Allied territory, and in the fight to destroy them Hinata is knocked unconscious. One Zetsu impersonates her and successfully pretends to be her for a time using its knowledge of her feelings for Naruto, but Kiba and Shino eventually discover it and, after defeating it, rescue Hinata.[53] On the second day of the war, Hinata helps members of the Second Division escape the area of Neji's fight with the reincarnated Kidōmaru. She later finds Neji unconscious with Kiba and Akamaru. Hinata examines their bodies with her Byakugan and discovers that their chakra flow has completely stopped. She reports this to Inoichi Yamanaka, who is able to use the information to help Naruto save them. Hinata tearfully hugs Neji when he wakes up.[54]

Naruto Protects Hinata

Naruto saves Hinata from disguised White Zetsu.

With all levels of the Allied Shinobi Forces infiltrated by disguised White Zetsus, Hinata and the others are placed on high alert due to periodic surprise attacks by what they thought were their allies. When Naruto reaches the Second Division's location he starts identifying and defeating the disguised Zetsus, including three that attempt to attack Hinata. Although Neji is suspicious that Naruto may also be a White Zetsu, Hinata insists it's the real Naruto, which she can tell by looking in his eyes. Hinata apologises to Naruto for the suspicion he's receiving and regrets that he is still needing to save her when she's the one trying to fight for him. Naruto reassures her that she's strong enough to look after herself; he's merely returning the favour for all the times in the past she's helped him. She silently thanks him as he leaves.

Hinata Shielding Naruto

Hinata preparing to sacrifice her life to shield Naruto.

Hinata and the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces are sent to assist Naruto in his battle with the Ten-Tails. Recognising how crucial Naruto is to the war's victory, Hinata, Neji, and Hiashi join forces to block attacks directed at him. Neji and Hiashi quickly become preoccupied protecting other Allies from the Ten-Tails too, leaving only Hinata to defend Naruto. The Ten-Tails fires several volleys of wood projectiles at him, which Hinata uses her body to defend him from. Neji in turn uses his body to defend her and is mortally wounded because of it. Watching Hinata crying for him as he dies, Neji observes that Hinata was willing to die for Naruto, which he uses as evidence that Naruto is responsible for more lives than his own. He then dies from his injuries.

Naruto gives Hinata power

Naruto shares Kurama's chakra with Hinata.

Naruto is disheartened by the deaths of Neji and others in the Alliance. When he starts to show signs of giving up, Hinata brings him back senses by reminding him of his vow to not let any of his friends die. Although Neji may be dead, he will live on so long as others continue the fight that he gave his life for. Therefore, Naruto must stay true to the creed he has been using for so long and that she has long since adopted for herself: to not give up. Naruto's resolve is renewed and he thanks her for standing by his side. He then takes her hand and transfers some chakra to her, giving her a version 1-like shroud that protects her and augments her attacks against the Ten-Tails.

As Naruto leads the Alliance's attacks against the Ten-Tails, his arm becomes dislocated. Hinata sets it back in place, allowing him to remove the Ten-Tails from the control of Madara and Obito Uchiha. The extended fighting eventually starts to tire Naruto out, so Hinata rallies a defence around him while Sakura Haruno heals him. She later joins Team 8's attack on the Ten-Tails' clones: she starts performing the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms on a Ten-Tails mini-clone, but stumbles midway and fears she may not be able to complete it. By thinking of Neji and Naruto, she finds the resolve to follow through to its end and defeats the clone. She then prepares to use her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.

Konoha 11 attacking Obito

The Konoha chūnin attack Obito with Naruto's Rasengan.

When the Ten-Tails suddenly disappears from the battlefield, Sakura asks what Hinata saw with her Byakugan. Hinata explains that she saw the Ten-Tails being absorbed into Obito, meaning he has become its jinchūriki. Because of the abilities this grants Obito, Hinata and most of the rest of the Alliance stand no chance against him and must leave the fighting to others such as Naruto and Sasuke. But Hinata remains alert for opportunities to contribute and pitches in when they emerge, first by joining the rest of the Konoha 11 in hitting Obito with one of Naruto's Rasengan, and then by assisting the rest of the Alliance with pulling the tailed beasts' chakra from Obito's body.

Hinata Infinite Tsukuyomi

Hinata caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

With Obito defeated, Naruto goes off to fight Madara, leaving the Allied Shinobi Forces to fight a final Zetsu. As they struggle against the Zetsu, Kiba senses Naruto's return to their battlefield and Hinata seeks him out with her Byakugan. She becomes horrified as she notices that his heartbeat is slowing and runs to him to provide assistance, but she collapses from exhaustion midway and can only plead Neji to help Naruto. When Madara cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi upon the world, Hinata alongside most people are immobilised by the genjutsu and restrained by the Ten-Tails' roots.

Hinata's knitting

Hinata knits Naruto's present.

Two years after the war, as the Rinne Festival approaches, Hinata decides to confess her feelings for Naruto by knitting a scarf for him, a replacement for the one he gave her when they were children. Although she completes the scarf, Hinata struggles to bring herself to give it to him, and it is only at the encouragement of Sakura and Hanabi that Hinata finally approaches Naruto. Once she finds him at Ramen Ichiraku, Hinata is intimidated, first by Naruto's many other female admirers, and then by the fact that he is already wearing a scarf that he clearly cherishes. Assuming she lost her chance to be with him, Hinata runs off. As she cries over the scarf alone, she is approached by Toneri Ōtsutsuki, who requests to be given the scarf instead. He captures her with his puppets and they try escaping Konoha with her, but Naruto defeats the puppets and rescues her; the scarf she made is ripped in the battle.

Genjutsu Ball Trap

Hinata links with Naruto.

In place of Hinata, Toneri is successfully able to kidnap Hanabi. Hinata requests to be added to the team sent to rescue her. After leaving Konoha, Hinata is able to find Hanabi's trail using her Byakugan, which leads them to an underground passage. Shortly after entering the passageway, the team is trapped in a genjutsu that dredges up old memories. While Hinata relives moments from her past that relate to Naruto, the scarf - which she's in the process of repairing - gets loose from her bag and wraps around Naruto, sharing her memories and corresponding feelings with him. Sakura is able to release them from the genjutsu and they start to continue ahead. Hinata is held back by Toneri, who expresses his desire to marry her. He explains that he has taken Hanabi's Byakugan for himself in order to carry out Hamura Ōtsutsuki's decree to destroy the Earth, after which he can create a new world with Hinata's help.

Hinata refuses to cooperate and vows to save Hanabi on her own, to which Toneri observes that she doesn't know where Hanabi is. Naruto interrupts them and defeats Toneri, who turns out to only be another puppet. Toneri tells Hinata that he'll return later for her answer. Naruto and Hinata reunite with the rest of the team and exit the underground passage, arriving in what they later discover is the Moon's interior. They split up to explore the surrounding landscape, with Naruto spending more time with Hinata. He now displays a greater interest in her thoughts and well-being, pleasing Hinata and giving her greater resolve to complete the scarf. As she is about to confide in him what Toneri told her, the rest of the team locates them and asks Hinata to look at a crypt they've found. There, Hinata is confronted by another member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, who shows her visions of how to stop Toneri and who introduces her to Hamura himself, who asks her to save the Earth.

Naruto confesses to Hinata

Naruto tells Hinata he loves her.

Hinata does not share her visions with the others and starts diligently trying to complete the scarf. When they make camp later that night, Naruto confronts Hinata and assures her they will save Hanabi. He also tells her that he loves her, leaving her speechless. Rather, when Toneri comes for Hinata's answer, she gives the finished scarf to Naruto with her goodbyes and leaves with Toneri. When Naruto asks Hinata if it's a lie that she will marry Toneri, she reluctantly does not deny it. Upon seeing Naruto being hit by Toneri's attack, Toneri immediately put her to sleep. After she wakes up in Toneri's castle, Hinata checks on Hanabi to make sure she's alright and locates the Tenseigan that Toneri is using to control the Moon's movements against the Earth. She spends her time making yet another scarf, and when she has a chance she slips away to try to destroy the Tenseigan. She is found by Toneri's puppets and Toneri himself detains her. Hinata tries to reason with Toneri that Hamura never wished to destroy earth, but he doesn't listen. After which Toneri destroys the new scarf, that is actually meant for Naruto, and places her under his control. After being placed inside a picture frame, Hinata shed a tear over her regret about "betraying" Naruto.

Hinata is forced to go through with a wedding ceremony, but as Toneri is about to kiss Hinata, Naruto interrupts the wedding. After Toneri leaves with her, Naruto is able to release her from Toneri's control, at which point she apologises to him for her earlier behaviour, though he states he already understands and forgives her. Toneri becomes distracted by his own awakening Tenseigan, allowing Hinata to escape with Naruto to the primary Tenseigan's location. Because she possesses Hamura's chakra, only Hinata is able to destroy it. However, she lacks the raw strength to do so, and must instead channel her chakra into Naruto so that they can destroy it together. With the Tenseigan gone, the Moon's movements stop and the puppets that the rest of the team is elsewhere fighting are rendered inert. The team reunites with them, bringing along a rescued Hanabi and the remains of Hinata's scarf. Even though it's in tatters, Naruto asks if he can have it anyway, which Hinata happily complies with.

Naruto and Hinata kiss

Naruto and Hinata share their first kiss.

Toneri uses his own awakened Tenseigan to resume the Moon's movement towards the Earth. He then attacks them and captures Hinata, forcing her to watch as he tries to kill Naruto. Naruto ends up defeating him instead and Hinata, once freed, takes back Hanabi's eyes. Toneri tries to make one final attack and Naruto and Hinata prepare to face him together, but Toneri is knocked into space by the statue. Naruto saves him and Toneri gives up, allowing Hinata to tell him Hamura's true wishes: to protect the Earth, not to destroy it. Toneri is repentant and remains behind when they head home, vowing not to let the Moon endanger the Earth again. As they return through the same passage they used before, Hinata asks Naruto about the scarf he's been wearing. He tells her it was a gift from his mother, causing her embarrassment that she would be jealous. Upon hearing Naruto say that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, Hinata sheds tears of joy. As the passageway disintegrates behind them, Naruto propels himself and Hinata back to the Earth, where they share their first kiss.

Running into Sakura along the way, Hinata invited her to join them, but she declined. Later, the couple learned that she had been kidnapped by Kido Tsumiki, leading to them joining Kakashi in going to rescue her. On finding Sakura, they discovered that she'd already defeated Kido, prompting them to congratulate her on her victory.

When Boruto began seeing strange things that others couldn't, he asked Hinata about the Byakugan, which she explained to him. Later, after a troubling change in his behaviour, Boruto declared to his parents that he had awakened his Byakugan, shocking everyone. Hinata advised Boruto to go to Hiashi for better answers about his dōjutsu.

Later, when she discovered that Boruto was skipping classes (thanks to a poorly written excuse from his classmate Mitsuki), Hinata quickly confronted her son. The following day, Hinata met with Shino and it was ultimately decided that Boruto would have to make up the time he missed with after-school classes. After Boruto left, Hinata talked more with Shino, apologising for the trouble Boruto was causing, noting that he wanted her husband's attention to the point where, like his father, Boruto wants to make a name for himself. Shino then convinced Hinata to talk to Naruto about Boruto's actions. When Naruto came home late briefly for a change of clothing, the two spoke. Naruto expressed regret at not being a more attentive father, feeling that his lack of actual parenting growing up made him subpar as one himself, Hinata insisted that for all of Boruto's actions, deep down he understands Naruto's responsibilities as Hokage.

Later, Hinata made a big feast to welcome Mitsuki. Much to her joy, Naruto was also joining them for dinner as he finished work early.

Main article: One-Tail Escort Arc In the anime, as Hinata was preparing a family camping trip, Boruto explained that he was going on a training mission with Team 7 (unaware that Boruto was really going to find Sasuke to train with him).

Later, Boruto returned to the village along with Naruto and the kettle-sealed Shukaku. With Urashiki Ōtsutsuki pursuing the tailed beast, it was decided that Naruto would safeguard Shukaku. During which, Hinata allowed the children to watch over the tailed beast while she was happy to have extra time with her entire family. Later, when a more proper safehouse for Shukaku was prepared, Naruto proceeded to have the tailed beast moved to it.

Time Slip Arc

Main article: Time Slip Arc Later, Hinata watched as an eager Boruto quickly finished his breakfast in hopes to train more with Sasuke. Hinata noted that Boruto was just like Naruto at that age, always eager to train with his mentor Jiraiya. Hinata then showed Himawari and Boruto a photo of the Sannin, who Himawari noted looked eccentric and wild. Hinata told her kids about Jiraiya's greatness as a ninja and how influential he was to Naruto, even becoming a father-figure. Later that night, Hinata found Boruto looking through Naruto's belongings for the Icha Icha series, hoping to learn more about Jiraiya and the "wisdom" it gave. After glancing at a few pages and seeing its adult content, Hinata sternly forbade Boruto from reading the books, insisting that he was too young.

Young Hinata Meets Boruto

A young Hinata meets Boruto.

Meanwhile, the grown-up Sasuke and Boruto were later sent back in time to shortly after Sasuke's defection. There, the two pretended to be travelling performers and were put under watch by Naruto. Past-Hinata met her future son, who despite her normal shy nature, felt calm and open to Boruto. Later, she and her friends helped Boruto and Naruto clean up a bathhouse after the commotion Naruto and Jiraiya caused. Days later, after Sasuke and Boruto managed to kill Urashiki and end his terror, they decided to return to their time promptly to preserve the timeline. To ensure that, Sasuke first used his Sharingan to erase the memories of everyone he and Boruto came in contact of the recent events.

Back in the present, Hiashi's birthday was fast approaching, and it was suggested by Hanabi to throw a party for him. Hinata helped Himawari pick out a scarf for him as a present. At the party, Hinata joined her family in a group photo as suggested by Boruto.

Kara Actuation Arc

Main article: Kara Actuation Arc In the anime, Hinata was heartbroken when she heard her son was viciously defeated in battle by Deepa. As Boruto was operated on, she and Himawari watched in concern. Naruto soon arrived, equally concerned about his son. Upon seeing that he was stabilised, Naruto assured his family that Boruto was going to fine, much to Hinata's relief.

After Boruto was released from the hospital and began training under Kakashi Hatake to grow stronger, while her daughter was still concerned for Boruto, Hinata insisted that Boruto was a true ninja and desired to be of true aid to others. Instead, Hinata suggested that Himawari helped cheer Boruto on by helping her mother make a bento and deliver it to him.

In the following days, as Hinata continued to provide support for Boruto by bringing him lunches while training, she discovered that Sakura was growing concerned for Sarada's well-being in her own training, especially given the Uchiha's history with loss. Ino and Hinata decided to take Sakura out on a girl's night to talk. They insisted that as mothers themselves, they too fear for their children's well-being, but they have to have faith that they are strong and can endure. Their words managed to cheer up Sakura.

Ao Arc

Main article: Ao Arc In the anime, Hinata attended the memorial service for the fallen people of the Fourth Shinobi World War, holding a portrait of Neji in his honour.

Kawaki Arc

Main article: Kawaki Arc

Hinata Welcomes Kawaki

Hinata welcomes Kawaki into her home.

When Boruto's team returned from their mission with a mysterious boy of unique abilities, rather than lock him up, Naruto, sympathising as a former man-made potential weapon, decided to treat the boy as a guest to the village and let him live at his home. During which, despite Hinata treating him with kindness like any other, the rebellious boy kept seeing everyone as his enemy. He soon made his move to escape, only to be stopped by Naruto's brief show of power. When Boruto returned, he and the boy got into a confrontation over the latter's recent actions destroying Himawari‘s personal vase, which she made as a gift to Hinata. As Himawari began cleaning up the broken pieces, the boy gruffly apologised for his unintentional mistake, introducing himself as Kawaki.

Later, as Kawaki attempted to find a missing fragment of the vase, Naruto doubted he would be able to find it, as Hinata cleans the house everyday. Hinata and Himawari left to shop for dinner just before Jigen appeared in their home.

Chūnin Re-Examination Arc

Main article: Chūnin Re-Examination Arc In the anime, following Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's defeat, a personal Chūnin Exam for Konoha was set up. Hinata cheered on her son during the events. By the end, Boruto failed to be promoted, but Hinata happily joined her family for dinner. As Kawaki continued to show a distant nature, Hinata recognised Kawaki's efforts to open up to others, still struggling from his harsh upbringing and captivity under Kara.

Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc

Main article: Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc In the anime, Hinata joined her family for a vacation to a hot spring inn won by Himawari in a raffle. She and Naruto beat Boruto and Kawaki at ping-pong with their superior team-work, Hinata in particular being an excellent player.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc

Main article: Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc In the anime, Hinata was glad to hear that Himawari was having a good time in the Academy. Later, she was surprised to learn that Himawari had not actually decided on becoming a shinobi, but rather saw the Academy as an opportunity to learn about herself and meet people. Hinata and Naruto were happy to see how maturely Himawari was taking her experiences.

Code's Assault Arc

Main article: Code's Assault Arc

Uzumaki family welcomes Kawaki

Hinata and her family welcome Kawaki with a feast.

After Jigen, leader of Kara, was able to infiltrate Konoha and critically injured Naruto and Sasuke in an attempt to reclaim Kawaki, Hinata and her family were relieved when Naruto made a quick recovery. Later, following Isshiki's permanent death, they decided to throw a welcome dinner party for Kawaki, to show he was truly welcomed in the Uzumaki home. While Kawaki asked to throw away a box of old magazines, Hinata watched a movie with Naruto with emotion. Later, Boruto rushed in to alert his parents that Kawaki had evaded surveillance and left the village.

When learning that Boruto and Kawaki were in trouble, Hinata was determined to help her husband in the rescue, only to be reminded that she needed to look after Himawari should the worst happen. She reluctantly conceded, praying for all of them to return safely.

Omnipotence Arc

Main article: Omnipotence Arc When Boruto was called in for his first mission in a long time, Hinata cried, worried that this time he might not come back, despite his assurance he would return. After he left, Himawari told her she could help Boruto if she became a shinobi, and asked if it would make her worry more instead.

Hinata Slaps Kawaki

Hinata slaps Kawaki.

While preparing for dinner with Naruto, she wished that Boruto and Kawaki could join them, asking Naruto how long their mission could take. Having left the house, Kawaki joined them, wishing to talk to Naruto. Kawaki told them how much Naruto meant to him, and how far he was willing to go to get rid of all Ōtsutsuki, Boruto included. Hinata was hurt by it and slapped Kawaki. He conceded he might be insane for what he was willing to do, and sent them away with a rift to stop them from interfering, willing to bear their hate and welcoming them to kill him when he was done. Naruto and Hinata were kept in Daikokuten, suspended in time, unable to think, age, and requiring no air or sustenance.

New Era: Part II

Boruto's Return Arc

In later instalments of the Clash of Ninja series, Hinata is playable in an "awakened" form. In this form, her clothes are similar to what she wore during the Bikōchū Search Mission, though the form itself is not based on the events of that arc. Awakened Hinata has a personality similar to Neji's during the Chūnin Exams, arrogantly challenging opponents and boasting about the power of the main branch of the Hyūga clan. While in this form, she is also able to use techniques such as Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven. Most Clash of Ninja games require that this awakened Hinata be selected separately, but in Clash of Ninja Revolution 3, normal Hinata can transform into her in the middle of battle by activating her Byakugan. A similar form appears in Ultimate Ninja 2, dubbed "Byakugan Hinata", with the main difference being she wears the traditional Hyūga attire.

In several of the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, the team combination of Hinata and Naruto is titled "Secret Lovers" or "Joined Hands".

Quotes

  • (To Neji) "I will never go back on my word… Because that too is my nindō, my ninja way!"[61]
  • (To herself) "Naruto… I have always watched you… Watched you for many years… Why? I don't know why, but whenever I look at you… I feel more courage within me… It makes me feel like I can accomplish something if I try… It makes me feel like I am worth something…"[62]
  • (To Naruto) "In my eyes… you're a proud failure! When I look at you, I get an intense feeling in my heart… Because you're not perfect… Because you fail… you have the strength to get back up… Because I believe that is what true strength is…"[63]
  • (To Naruto) "I used to always cry and give up… I made many wrong turns… But you… You helped me find the right path… I always chased after you… I wanted to catch up to you… I wanted to walk beside you all the time… I just wanted to be with you… You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That is why I'm not afraid to die protecting you! Because… I love you…"[20]
  • (To herself) "Naruto… I've always been chasing after you… Even now… But once this war ends, I'm going to stop once and for all… Because next time, I will be by your side, holding your hand… walking with you! Please wait for me!!"[64]
  • (To Naruto) "Neji just said… that your life is not just your own anymore… Do you understand what he meant? Your words and desire to not let your comrades die… Neither of them are lies! What inspired Neji and carried him this far were those very principles! It's not just you, Naruto… we all hold those same words and feelings within our hearts. They're what bind our lives together and make us comrades. If we all give up and discard those words and feelings now, Neji's sacrifice will have been for nothing… And that is when your comrades truly die, for you are no longer comrades then. That's how I feel… Therefore… stand up together with me, Naruto… Because never going back on one's word… is my ninja way too!"[65]
