Hinata Hyuga (日向ヒナタ, Hyūga Hinata) is one of the main supporting characters of the series. She is a ninja; a Chunin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure, and is a member of the Hyuga clan, as well as a member of Team Kurenai. After the events of the Sixth Great Ninja World War, she is recuited by Seireitou Kawahiru and joins Hanmadang, temporarily gaining the moniker "Hinata of the Dancing Blossoms" (日向ダンス桜, Sakuramai no Hinata). Seireitou soon revealed Hinata being nothing but a pawn in his plans, and ended up removing her Byakugan eyes and subsequently losing said moniker. She is the current holder of the Ninja Artefact Ring of Tsukuyomi.

Appearance
Hinata is portrayed as having a very cute appearance. She is usually seen with a timid and shy expression. She has dark blue hair in a hime-cut style, with chin-length strands framing each side of her face, and fair skin. Like the rest of her clan, she possesses the infamous Byakugan eyes.
During Part I, she wore a pale hooded jacket that had a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves, and navy blue pants. Since she became a Genin, she wore her Konoha forehead protector around her neck. During Part II, Hinata becomes a Chunin, She let her hair grow to waist-length, and now wears a white-lavender jacket and navy pants with black sandals.
After she became a member of Hanmadang, she wears a more martial art-like attire with the symbol of the Hyuga clan on her back to display her former lineage as heir of the Hyuga clan. Even after Seireitou's betrayal, she elected to keep this look.
Personality
Hinata is generally kind-hearted, timid, soft-spoken, and polite, applying appropriate name suffixes to most people. Hinata can be a bit of a pacifist as well. She is a kind individual, who is unwilling to watch people get hurt in front of her, a trait that Neji considers a flaw, and dislikes competition and fighting. As a result of her father deeming her inferior, Hinata often lacks self-confidence, and despite training hard, often makes mistakes on missions. Hinata is able to understand people who share pain, and is one of the few people who knows how painful Naruto's childhood was. She generally thinks carefully before acting, allowing her to think more clearly in tough situations.
Hinata has a long-standing admiration for Naruto Uzumaki, making her one of the few female characters her age, if not the only one, not to have a crush on Sasuke Uchiha. Despite being painfully obvious to almost every other character, Naruto has always been oblivious to her attention. Due to her timidness, he finds it awkward to be with her at times, particularly when she is unable to articulate what she wants to say, but still gets along well with her. As the series progresses, she goes to great lengths to win his attention and recognition, even going out of her way in order to help him out.
Hinata gets along well with her teammates. Kiba's actions toward her are often motivated by concern for her, as seen when he urged her to forfeit if she is matched against Neji. Shino often indicates that he believes in Hinata, and makes a point of telling it to others when they doubt or worry about her. Hinata is also the closest to Team 8's sensei, Kurenai, who is especially interested in Hinata's growth as a ninja and as a person. Kurenai noted that Hinata had improved in her battle with Neji. After Hinata was knocked down for the final time, Kurenai, despite appearing sad over how much Hinata had suffered, silently congratulated her student for not giving up. After this, and for the rest of Part I, she began strengthening herself by training with Neji, and encouraged Naruto at the same time, speaking her true feelings a bit more, whilst training hard.
In Part II, Hinata still stutters when she speaks and her feelings for Naruto have remained the same over the timeskip, as she is unable to bring herself to greet him when he returns, and passes out when he goes to greet her. However, she appears to be more confident and willing to take decisive action, unlike before. During Pain's invasion, Hinata finally revealed her true feelings, and confessed her love to Naruto. Though it is unknown what his reaction is, he was initially greatly shocked about her feelings. Naruto's response to her is yet to be revealed.
However, with her newfound independence following the end of the Hyuga Betrayal, she had abandoned her feelings for Naruto, and decided to travel the world along with her new team, Hanmadang. She showed great loyalty for her teammates, and had nothing but great respect for the leader, Seireitou. She seemed to have also become good friends with Shiori. However all of thise was undone when Seireitou stole her eyes. She temporarily reverted to her old ways from before even the first timeskip until she was given her sight back via the Ring of Tsukuyomi. This gave her hope and she resumed her pursuit of Naruto's heart with a newfound vigor. She also became intimate friends with the man who gave her the ring, Shujitori Kuramitsu.
Background
Hinata is the eldest child of the Hyuga clan's leader, Hiashi Hyuga. As a child, Hinata was regularly seen as being rather shy. As the eldest child, it was her birthright to become the next heir to the Hyuga clan's main house. She was regularly put through gruelling training by her father. One night, while still a child, she was kidnapped by a head ninja from the Land of Lightning. Her father killed the head ninja to save her, which ultimately resulted in the death of Hinata's uncle, Hizashi Hyuga.
Despite the sacrifice that went into saving her, Hinata's father eventually deemed her a lost cause that was weaker than her sister, Hanabi Hyuga. When she was assigned to Kurenai Yuhi, he told her that he was unconcerned that she might die on a mission, saying that he had no use for a weak heir, and began concentrating on Hanabi. Hiashi then left Hinata in Kurenai's care.
Over the course of her life as a Genin, she attempted to take the Chunin exams twice, the latter time succeeding. In Part II, she had attained the rank of Chunin, and was still part of Team 8, renamed Team Kurenai. When Naruto greeted her, she passed out, overcome by the prospect of seeing him for the first time in two and a half years. When she came to, just as she began to focus, Naruto came to her and asked, very vaguely, to come with him on his mission, telling her to "shut up and come with him". 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.
Team 8 was recruited to help Team Kakashi find Itachi Uchiha. With her Byakugan, Hinata was able 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 and Zetsu left for the location of Sasuke's fight with Itachi, Hinata was asked by Kakashi about what she saw; she said she saw black flames. Kakashi recognized the description as the Amaterasu flames, and he started leading the group to the hideout. Unfortunately, her team arrived too late, due to Zetsu and Tobi's inhumanly fast movement. Tobi had already taken Sasuke away, leaving no trace for the team to track.
Hinata survived Pain's destruction of Konoha. She showed concern for an injured branch house member named Kō Hyuga, stating that his wounds needed to be healed, but Kō explained to her that he would never be able to forgive himself if anything happened to her. Once realizing that Naruto was fighting 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 Ko's words, Naruto was pinned down by Pain. She decided to intervene, despite knowing she did not have the ability to defeat him. With her decision to fight made, she declared her love to Naruto, and proclaimed her willingness to die for him as she launched her assault. However, just as she had foreseen, Pain easily tossed her aside with the aid of Shinra Tensei, and stabbed her with one of his chakra blades. Angered over the apparent death of someone he cared about, Naruto slipped into his six-tailed transformation, while a barely conscious Hinata looked on. 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. With her wounds healed, a thankful Hinata expressed relief toward Naruto's defeat of Pain. When Naruto came back to the village, she shed tears of joy, and was seen later on smiling as the villagers celebrated Naruto's victory.
Hinata was present with the other members of the Konoha 12, minus Team 7. Since Sasuke was causing international events that could lead to war, Konoha 12 were deciding on next course of action towards him.
Synopsis
Second Dawn
During the events of the Sixth Great War, the Hyuga clan decided to use this opertunity to seige control of Konohagakure's leader as the dominant clan. This was enacted by the new Head of the Hyuga, at that time, named Kokuyo Hyuga. During this planning, Hinata was forced to act as the pipeline to the Hyuga clan due to her relationship with Naruto. Considering Naruto's position of high ranking in the village, the clan wished to use that connection to cause an usurption of the village. Hinata, now having to choose between her love for Naruto and her loyalty to the Hyuga clan, chose to leave Konoha to avoid this decision of betrayal.
As she left Konoha, she encountered Naruto who was returning from a mission. While she didn't wanna resort to violence, she didn't wanna rat out her clan and so attacked Naruto, being able to escape him. About a mile ahead, she broke down crying about her choice. She was soon confronted by Seireitou Kawahiru, who tried to calm her down. After hearing her story, he asked her to join his team, giving her the time to further her power and strength, in the hopes of one day being able to return. With this, she left Konoha for good, and joined Hanmadang, getting the title "Hinata of the Dancing Blossoms".
While she traveled along with Seireitou and the others, Seireitou took this time to assist Hinata in honing her skills. Starting with her obvious talent of instant positioning, Seireitou taught her the techniques of Taekkyeon; an art consisting of mostly circular foot motion. Taking these lessions of Taekkyeon, and combining them with her Gentle Fist mastery, she was able to shift use of an art that was all her own. During the duration of her training, Seireitou presented her with an new outfit to wear, one matching that of Kurenai Yuhi's and her own previous attires; doing this out of Hinata's respect for her previous sensei, Kurenai.
She joined Hanmadang in the fight against Koukon, facing Tora Mazuka in battle. His tailed powers proved too great, but her Gentle Fist was enough to bring the match to a tie. Upon Tora retreat with the rest of Koukon, Seireitou grew angry at Hinata's inability to fight and kill her opponent. Writing her off as weak, he ripped her Byakugan eyes out of her sockets, leaving her at the gates of Konoha alone.
Anko found her at the gates in this macabre state and took her to the hospital. While they gave her glass eyes, she was outcast by the Hyuga clan for losing her eyes and Hanabi was given the position of future head. Kurenai decided to care for Hinata as she was unable to see by herself. Shujitori, Anko's apprentice, found an odd ring during a mission and felt for some reason he should give it to her as a gift. After putting it on, Hinata miraculously gained her sight back but it was as if it was a permanent Byakugan. The ring was in fact the fabled Ring of Tsukuyomi. This gave her a boost of hope and so resumed her pursuit of Naruto's heart.
Abilities
Byakugan
As a member of the Hyuga clan, Hinata possesses the Byakugan, which gives her a near 360° field of vision, albeit a blind spot around the back of her neck. She can focus her sight to drastically increase her range of vision in one direction, far outstripping Neji's visual range while doing so. In Part II, she was able to see 10km away, while Neji's known range is at least 800m. During the hunt for the Bikochu, she was able to effectively see every small insect in the area, and could even accurately fire needles at bees with her Chakra Needle Technique. Later, during her fight against Guren in her crystal labyrinth, Hinata's Byakugan was used again as there were many reflections, yet she was able to focus her Byakugan on her target, Guren, perfectly.
Since Seireitou removed these eyes, it is expected that she can no longer access these eyes anymore. However, her Ring of Tsukuyomi grants her similar abilities.
Gentle Fist Taijutsu
She also specializes in the Gentle Fist fighting style, which allows her to damage her opponents' chakra circulatory systems and inner organs directly, with even a slight tap. Despite all these abilities, her father, at least initially, believed her to be too weak to lead the clan. After her fight with Neji, Hinata took her quest to get stronger to new levels. She took part in training that consisted of manipulating water to sprout in an orb around her. This training manifested itself during the Bikochu filler arc, where she showed her self-made technique Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. With it, Hinata emits streams of chakra from her palms to create extremely sharp blades, which she can use to hit any target in her field of vision. Due to the speed at which these blades move, the amount of control she has over them, her natural flexibility, and her ability to manipulate their size, Hinata can use this technique to attack and defend simultaneously.
During the Three-Tails arrival filler arc, Hinata faced Guren's clone. Hinata revealed her new technique, which was due to her training during the timeskip. This technique is the minor version of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms called Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms. Hinata has also put her natural flexibility into a great performance. While battling Nurari, Hinata was capable of dodging almost all attacks, even though Nurari had an elastic body. She also demonstrates great accuracy with her attacks. When fighting Pain, she was able to force him back and was about to use a new attack, called the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, but was defeated before she was able to complete the attack.
Ring of Tsukuyomi
An ancient artifact, known as a Ninja Artefact, this unique ring grants Hinata several abilities. The first and perhaps most important is the "sixth sense" it gives. This sense is similar in function to sight, but more like Byakugan vision than real sight and so she has difficulty looking at only one point in space. The ring's second function is the ability to slowly mend wounds in the moonlight. While it doesn't regenerate limbs, it can fully heal things such as cuts and gashes. The final function gives her the ability to manipulate water in a manner similar to the way Gaara manipulates sand. She is still learning to use this final function and so will not use it often if at all.
