Her backstory was never heard of in Part 2.It was just a means to an end to set her up to be Naruto's wife.Shikamaru got a near arc for himself.Thats what I wanted for Hinata.
Why should it matter if her background w/ the Hyuga clan was barely brought up in part 2? How does that mean it's irrelevant ? Besides, Neither was Neji's. Both Hinata's and Neji's backgrounds were not heard of much in part 2. It's not just Hinata, Kishimoto side-lined the entire Hyuga plot line in part 2, barely ever bringing it up.
And yet she never really won a true fight did she.Just some zetsu clone with the help of Neji.WHere was she for instance when her sqaud was fighting Pain?Heck Konohamaru got a shot at Pain
At least Sakura won one fight with the main villain with someone's help.
Do these characters ring a bell?: Lee, Kimimaro, Kaguya, Kiba, Jiriaya, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Kabuto .... I could go on tbh .Lol
You know I actually find it funny in that when I say Hinata is all about Naruto,Hinata's fans try to disprove me wrong and yet dont manage to do it and I dont get that vibe from the manga at all whereas in Sakura's case I find Part 1 mostly all bout Sasuke,Part 2 beginning,she starts caring for Naruto,has a Sannin teacher, etc and manages to be more fleshed out inspite of her driving force being Sasuke and I cant convince this to Hinata fans.So I guess its just the different ways we look at the manga
No, her character in part 2 is in fact like 90% about Naruto, but there are small tidbits of other things, though they are hardly noticeable. Then again, Kishi completely ignores any of the potential moments to develop her or even Neji for that matter. [That two panel flash back w/ Lee after his death should say a lot about how much Kishi actually cares about either of them Lol. Dude only likes Hinata because of her boobs]
