How different would team 7 be if Hinata was team instead of Sakura in part 1?

Part 1 Hinata abilities would've been at the very least more useful in a combative setting (in Part 1) but that's where it ends. Part 1 Naruto benefited from Sakura’s intellectual attributes & Sasukes (something Hinata didn't/doesn't have); they were a perfect balance ability wise.
In Part 1 the Byakugan was the ultimate eye for Intel and taijutsu.
think of all the situations Naruto and Sasuke could've avoided or overcome easier if they had Gentle fist and 360 vision

It wasn't until part 2 that the byakugan began to phase out as then all the crazy KKGs and abilities started coming in.

Hinata's smart, says so in the databook.

@bold: Next-level delusions. Sasuke and even Sakura says she contributes nothing noteworthy to the team.

That's why I said that Part 1 Hinata would've been a better/good fit for Part 1 team 7 in a combative context. No denying that....

It wasn't until part 2 that the byakugan began to phase out as then all the crazy KKGs and abilities started coming in.
That's why my statement is aimed at Part 1 of the manga.

Trash. That team would be boring af. Hinata and Sakura act the same just towards different crushes. Only difference is Sakura is loud and outgoing and Hinata is quiet and shy. People would say Sakura is annoying for all the Sasuke kun stuff but Hinata would do the same with Naruto. Tho ability wise she would be useful during the forest of death.

She'd have been a much better choice ofc and nobody would've to deal with Sakura's annoying personality and ofc more room for better NaruHina development.

Hinata would have made a much, much better heroine. She literally has every thing needed to do so, but was held back due to being a side character. If she was a main character, things would have been different.

Powers, character arc, personality, backstory. All of Hinata's are perfect for a heroine. Not to mention all the half-hearted Hyuga plots that were ignored or done poorly would get better treatment.



Who says Hinata would constantly be blushing at watching Naruto if she was an MC? You act like her character wouldn't change at all.
Sakura's character didnt change at all. What makes you think Hinata's will?

Not smarter then Sakura, Hinata's intellect doesn't really compare to Sakura's at all really of you wanna talk both Part 1 & 2. The DB stated the she had the highest grades in her class and her intellect was second to shikamaru.,

He ate those words didn't he?

Already explained this, pal. Kishimoto admitted he didn't develop Sakura because he knew people hated her and knew people wouldn't take an interest in her if the manga focused on her, unlike with Hinata, where he knew she was popular and kept getting popular even with her massive absence from the manga at times.

Outside of that, there's the simple fact that Hinata's character can go in SO MANY more directions than Sakura's when considering all of her potential bonds and powers.

Hinata spends her time training instead of pining over a guy all the time, Kurenai even notes how hard she pushes herself, while Sakura was all Sasuke this Sasuke that and only started training once her crush left. So no, if she was in the team, she wouldn't be fangirling Naruto all the time lmao. That is not the kind of person she is AT ALL and its amazing you would even say that. Her goal is to become stronger and Naruto is simply someone she admires as an example of persaverance, Sakura wants to get in Sasuke's pants.

Gotta love how Sakura can only be useful for Sasuke by ignoring everyone else's powers just to make her useful. :lmao: And we're talking about part 1, pal.

You especially gotta love how you can make a person retract their bias opinon by posting facts. Just yesterday was useless right? But now she isn't useless because she ignored everyone else's power? @bold that's nothing but the response of a fan-fap who just got own, Sasuke didn't ignore. He had no idea where he was or how to get back where he needed to be, he indirectly relied on his teammates (Sakura is a teammate) to help him.

She did have a kunai huh?

lmao Sakura isn't useless, no one is useless in the series. When people say she's useless, they refer to her lack of relevance to anything in the series despite her hogging so much panel time.

Wasn't referring to Sasuke's powers, pal. =D

Love how you coppin a please :coffee:

Anyway, relevance and usefulness (ability) are two different things. Yup she wasn't as relevant to the plot for a large portion of the manga but her healing abilities can benefit many battle her team or a team in any battle you wish to place in which negates uselessness. Use the correct term..

Hinata isn't smarter than, or as smart as, Sakura. She isn's smart, period. And Orochimaru had no interest in the Byakugan. He would have trashed her in that part. Kindly, stop blowing Hinata's skills out of proportion.

Regardless of her fighting skills the Byakugan was a huge intel advantage in part 1.

Gentle Fist was OP in part 1 as well. Even if she was bad at fighting all she needed was one tap and it would have been lethal. Much better than a kunai

Not sure if this was targeted at me but I did agree that based on the actual plot Hinata would have been killed by Orochimaru but if the plot changed i imagine he would capture her just to have the byakugan.

What advantage? She isn't Neji. And her part I skills are abysmal.

When used by Neji, you mean? One tap doesn't do anything and it's Orochimaru we are talking about, not Ino or Sakura who would have lost to her in Part I.

It was targeted at everyone who thinks she could have added anything to the plot. Face it, she would have been just as absurd as Sakura.

Byakugan vision.

Also aside from Orochimaru im referring to all their fights. Did you see the original post I made?

Replace Sakura and a Kunai with Hinata and Gentle Fist + Vision enhancements. The story would change


I think the team would have been broken in all honesty.

The show was about Naruto and Sasuke constantly trying to out due each other. Sakura not being useful HELPED them alot.

If Hinato was the 3rd character their development would have drastically changed.

Lets analyze Part 1 Naruto/Sasuke with Hinata in the mix


Zabuza Arc:

Hinata would have spotted Zabuza in no time
Hinata would have spotted Haku in no time

Gentle fist tap gg as she potentially would have saw it coming?

The forest of death.

With Hinata on their team they would have walked through the Forrest of death without much interference. Maybe even avoided Orochimaru all together.

Even if they did fight Orochimaru

Hinata seeing Naruto hurt would have caused her to fight Orochimaru meaning Oro would have fought Gentle Fist Hinata AND sasuke meaning Oro would've had to kill one of them(Hinata more than likely) otherwise I believe he could have lost as he was toying around.

^^ Add hinata to that fight

I can keep going but I hoped someone else would continue hehehe

Her vision wouldn't have aided them against Orochimaru in any way, because she lacks the skills to incorporate that into combat.

Which fights? Hinata would have gotten trashed there as well. I can't remember one fight where she could have done any better.

How?

If Hinata was an MC, there's plenty of realistic ways for her and her clan to be accommodated into the story, at least enough to be more of an MC than Sakura.
That is a different debate and a moot argument. Also, Neji would have been a far better choice than Hinata in Team 7. At least, that way, there wouldn't have been one useless, token female in the Team.
