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
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]

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 Hinata meets Naruto.
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 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]

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 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] While short for her age as a child,
she later grew to above-average height and developed a curvaceous figure. She is noted to be
beautiful by Naruto[12] and Toneri Ōtsutsuki.

Hinata in Part I.

1/3

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 loose fitting, 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.

Hinata in the Blank Period.

1/2

Two years after the war, Hinata's mission attire is a light lavender, sleeveless kimono-style
blouse with vertical lines, tied with a dark purple obi around her waist. She wears a pair of short
dark navy shorts with thigh-high stockings and has changed her regular ninja sandals to black
high-heeled boots. Overall, her attire is noticeably more form-fitting and less conservative than
previously. 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 colored 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 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] Despite spending at least a decade as a
housewife, she could survive an attempt to get Naruto back from Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, and even
defeat Hanabi, who is an active jōnin and continues training to become the next clan leader, in a
sparring match. Hinata at the time was reluctant to fight and unprepared when Hanabi attacked
seriously. Despite being rusty, she was able to keep pace and soundly win the fight making
Hanabi accept the loss.[28]

Chakra Prowess and Control

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

From her special clan training, Hinata has very advanced control of her chakra. In the anime,
Hinata did additional training expand on it during Part I; one products of this training is to make
Water Needles by forming her chakra around nearby water sources and be used as a projectile.
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
