I figured this should be good enough to get the point across. The only fighting she actually did in after Naruto's return was against Sasori--and Chiyo was the ONLY reason she survived.
The only fighting she did
before Naruto left for the two+ years was: 1)was that pathetic attempt at protecting Sasuke and Naruto in the forest from the Sound ninjas and 2)her fight against Ino. That was
literally the extent of her fighting experience.
I could point out the time Gaara captured her forcing Sasuke and Naruto to save her, OR the time she wasn't even able to stop Sasuke and Naruto from fighting each other, OR her complete and utter uselessness against Zabuza and Haku, OR her lack of action when Pain attacked, OR her freezing up when they met Orochimaru for the first time(forcing Sasuke to injure himseslf saving her), OR her freezing up when she was "resolved" to kill Sasuke(again needing to be saved--by Naruto).
I know that sentence is not grammatically correct, but you get the idea. She may be book-smart, but I highly doubt she has what it takes to go up against a Hyuuga clan member.
