1.It is clear that losing the weights isnt a "simple resort" for him. for one, he gain's speed but loses power in his attack.(the swift attacks he does to gara when he loses the weights would have had a much greater impact if he would have been able to concentrate wile hitting, however, he sacrificed that power for speed and the ability for the hits to actually land) he wouldnt ever do that unless he needed too. it is NOT a simple power up and never in the origonal manga did they even hint to that, how ever, him only doing so when guy told him he could does hint to the fact that they are an emergency back up. also, it wouldnt make sence for him to almost NEVER remove them if they were a simple power-up. especially since all the other charectors use there simple power-ups in nearly every fight.1. moving weights is a simple resort for him; it also makes him more effective than he already is; so it seems like a "power up"; not a direct power up; it just boost his ability; or atleast seemingly.
2. comparing guns and knives to gentle fist and gouken is out of picture. Hinata does not have proficency in her respective area to make her on par with Neji; even usage of gentle fist have different level of power levels; also to make it "deadly"; it requires a preciese aim to a vital spot.
3. Have Hinata shown feats in ninjutsu and genjutsu? What are her intelligence feats in battle? Lee is atleast focused on battle; for ex in his fight with Kimimaro he was actually observing Kimi's transformation and thinking about it; Hinata didn't even shown battle intelligence feats; not that intelligence would help someone in such battle. And combination of stats do not mean anything; Gaara has 29 combined and stronger than Asuma who has 32,5; that's just an example. I know Lee is not God of shinobi that's quiet obvious. And Hinata did not outlive Neji. He is still above her level; Neji completed 64 palms atleast 3 years ago; he is much more proficient than her because he had more experience on that technique than hinata. The palms guard is a filler move. Twin lion fists have no feats; and i highly doubt they would outclass Neji's superior speed, strength, battle intelligence, overall proficency in gentle fist, also techs like kaiten, full body push etc... She did not outlive Neji.
2.i'll admit, comparing gun's and knifes is abit out of the park alil, but u dont seem to get that hinata's lvl of gental fist isnt that low(During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hiashi also considered her strong enough to protect her cousin, Neji now as much as he protects her.)
Her skill in the Gentle Fist is so great that she could use it to relocate Naruto's dislocated shoulder. in the anime, it was noted that after Tsunade was elected as Hokage, Hiashi was confident enough to allow her to start training in Senbon Sparring: an elaborate Hyūga clan ritual where one must spar nearly one thousand times in succession.
-Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists-Hinata using the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.
During the timeskip, Hinata improved her taijutsu skills immensely, and displays now a larger variety of her clan's techniques. She has also acquired her own original arsenal, displaying the use of the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, which much of was not seen in the manga except for its formation as the technique did not reach its target, but in the anime was able to momentarily OVERWELM NEJI during their training, and break Pain's chakra receivers with ease. She has also shown to be skilled in the use of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm when she was able to react and deflect a few wooden spikes to protect Naruto after he had used up his Sage Mode.She could also collaborate with Neji to use the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm, which is a variation of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm both of which creates a huge wave of chakra that is targeted at the opponent's vital points.Through Neji's instruction, Hinata's taijutsu skills have increased to the point where she can now perform one of the Hyūga clan's most powerful techniques: the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, which she successfully used against one of the Ten-Tails' mini-clones. It has also been hinted by Hinata that this technique can be combined with the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.
When fighting Pain in the anime, her attacks were strong enough to snap Pain's Chakra Disruption Blades that were restraining Naruto and also able to strike Pain.The anime also has Hinata continuing to develop her natural flexibility. This was shown while she was battling Nurari in the anime when she was able to dodge most of his attacks, despite the enemy's elastic body.In the anime, she developed the Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, a technique that can take advantage of her great flexibility and coordination to both attack and defend at the same time. In the anime's Three-Tails Arc, Hinata performed the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms, a minor version of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

3.ninjutsu =
Byakugan
Hinata can focus her Byakugan's sight to drastically increase its range in one direction up to at least 10 kilometres.It was confirmed by Kakashi that Hinata can use her Byakugan to see through genjutsu, as he requested her to do so when they fought Tobi.Using her Byakugan, she could help Ino time and pinpoint her Mind Body Switch Technique on Obito, saving Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and B from the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.During the anime's Search for the Bikōchū Arc, she was able to use her Byakugan to magnify and zoom, effectively seeing every small insect in the area, and could also see in infrared.Using her Byakugan in the anime, Hinata even accurately fired chakra needles at fast and tiny targets. In Part II of the anime, during her fight against Guren, Hinata demonstrates her new mastery of her kekkei genkai: Hinata's Byakugan was at first overcome by Guren's crystal labyrinth, which refracted light to produce many duplicate images of herself, however, Hinata was able to focus on her target and allowed the Byakugan to function enough for her to accurately see Guren's real chakra network and not the reflections.
Chakra Control
After the Chūnin Exams, Hinata trained to become stronger, developing in a way which took advantage of her excellent chakra control. The results of this training are shown during the anime's Search for the Bikōchū Arc; she is first seen training beside a waterfall, where she forms an orb of water around herself. She is later shown forming chakra needles that she uses to attack a swarm of bees. Her new-found chakra control can also emit streams of chakra from her palms to create extremely sharp blades, which can be used to hit any target in her field of vision. Due to her excellent chakra control, Hinata is able to freely manipulate the size and strength of the chakra blades, effectively allowing her to use this technique for offence and defence.
In Part II of the anime, Hinata's chakra control has advanced greatly as seen in the Three-Tails Arc, where her chakra control was mentioned as being at least on par with that of a medical-nin, as she was selected to perform the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier along with Sakura, Ino, and Shizune. Ino, although trained as a medical-nin, had difficulty maintaining and controlling her chakra to sustain the seal, unlike Hinata, who managed with relative ease.

genjutsu= what i said about her being able to see through it (wich i know doesnt help but it does mean he has some basic understanding of it, and that means she show's intelegence)also in case u didn't know...
neji die's and hinata is still alive... by definition, she has outlived him
