Tbh Sakura was a wrong choice for Team 7 from the begining. She was completely useless in part 1 onr the other hand if Hinata were the main character in place of Sakura, then even with the little development Kishi gave Sakura, had he given the same to Hinata then she'd have been even better than Sakura then she already is.
Think about it, she fought against Neji and did survived for a while. Neji was a genius among the hyugas no doubt but his hatred towards the main family was also one of the reasons he excelled so well whereas Hinata never liked fighting and was forced into her situation but Naruto always gave her inspiration. So being in team 7 with Naruto would've helped her to mature better while Sakura was always looking to suck Sasuke's d!ck instead of being useful.
If Hinata and Sakura had fought during the chunin exams, Sakura would've lost easily against Hinata's gentle fist. then later if Hinata was Tsunade's apprentice she'd make a better medic nin than Sakura with her byakugan x ray vision and precise hyuga chakra control and then mastering all of Tsunade's techniques she'd have truly reached closer to Naruto and Sasuke's level if not equal. ASkura on the other hand despite training under Tsunade would easily loose to Hinata even now. Hinata on the other hand with super strength and gentle fist combined would be a beast. She even might've developed a new fighting style combining the two.
Even Hamura noticed Hinata's untapped potential and chose to communicate with her and gave her his chakra. Naruto would've been much better if Hinata were Team 7.
Queen Hinata FTW.....
