I'm done with this now. Your obviously never going admit that Hinata saved him.
Hinata didn't save Naruto, she tried to and unwillingly and unknowingly ignited a chain of events that allowed Naruto to break free. But without Minato's interference Naruto would've ended right there, consumed by the red chakra.
@Nathoman:
No, she didn't know Naruto was the nine-tails host. Remember that Neji, Gaara, Sasuke and Sakura all show surprise when Naruto manifests Kurama's power. It his explicitly stated that Hiruzen Sarutobi decreed that children same age of Naruto are kept in oblivion about him being the Nine-Tails host, so that he would not suffer the same discrimination he suffered from the adults. Hinata was told to avoid Naruto but wasn't told why, like many others of her age.
Hinata had no idea that he wasn't going to be killed and she also had no idea of what would have escalated afterwards. All she did is trying to die along the man she loved because the situation seemed hopeless. She decided to die to lend even the smallest help possible.
Also, let's compare how Sakura acted on another occasion that is loosely similar: Naruto VS Orochimaru. Did Sakura stop and think "Hey, let's think of a plan, because I obviously lack the streght to stop Naruto in this state by myself or interfere with Orochimaru"? No, she didn't, and we can confidently say that Sakura is portrayed as quite smarter than Hinata, but yet she didn't stop and think of a plan at all, she rushed to the side of her beloved friend without thinking of the consequences, which is a quite natural thing to do. It takes a superhuman cool-headedness to stop and think in such a situation of which course of action is best to take, your istinct and mind tells you to just go to the one you love and help in whatever way it comes to mind. Most characters in fact lack that cool-headedness, Itachi, Shikamaru, Minato, Kakashi and possibly a few others are the only ones who are very likely to stop and evaluate the situation coolly.
I frankly understand how a weak, submissive and unconfident character like Hinata can be annoying to some. Heck, some girls I know even find Hinata offensive to women. But saying that you dislike how she acted in that specific occasion because she wasn't smart enough, is just bias. Sorry man, no offense meant, but you're biased.
