What I would expect? After 3 years of being fully accepted back by her family, private training by Neji, being raised to a clan leadership position - way more than what we have seen, that's for sure. The only time she shows initiative is when she perceives Naruto in danger. That's commendable, but insufficient - heck, she is supposed to be the heir to the head of her clan. Yet she never leads, never plans, shows no strategic or tactical thinking. She is really a sweet girl, make no mistake, but that's about all that can be said about her.
I think there's more to her, obviously, but we just don't get to see it due to well... the series being focused on Naruto and how Kishi has limited time to feature all the Konoha 11.
But yeah - I'd like to see more, know more about her beyond her love for Naruto but I'm not surprised it's the bulk of what we see from her, considering events etc.
She, as far as I'm aware, is not the heir. Hanabi is.
She's also shown at least some stragetic thinking/planning etc if she made Chunin - FACT.
Leadership skills (note recent manga issues) she lead the frontline of defence to protect Naruto, gave impressive talk-no-jutsu that boosted the morale of the Shinobi Alliance and kept Naruto from giving up and into Obito after Neji died.
... you're underestimating Hinata.
This seems like another Sakura bashing thread....its obvious who the base hates.......but mention you dislike Hinata....and its some stupid logic this...some dumb logic that......to defend her
I hate Hinata because of her fans, and also the fact she won't acknowledge that Naruto likes Sakura, it Naruto-kun this and that, she's just the same as Sakura lame like for Sasuke but her fan won't see it that way.
Hinata fans are baised and annoying, not saying their aren't annoying Sakura fans, but since Hinata fans are the majority, they have more quanity of annoying fans.
Use to like Hinata for being the cute loser and fell in love with another loser. But since her fans started saying stupid things like "Hinata deservers Naruto!", "Hinata is stronger than Sakura", "Hinata vs Sasuke with just Taijustu would win" "Sakura only hits Naruto, that not love, Hinata would never do that" (Winry hits Ed with a wrench, and there married).
So Hinata probably, and then Kishi for not giving Shino bigger moments.
You dislike Hinata because Hinata-fans... bash... Sakura? What the hell kind of reasoning is that? :stfu:
I think she does acknowledge that Naruto likes Sakura. It would be kind of hard not to and she isn't stupid - nor blind, deaf or dumb.
I know there's a lot of
'Naruto-kun' and yes, I'd love it if in Part I and early Part II there was less of that but there isn't and she was a kid and it's more tolerable than Sakura's
'Sasuke-kun!' simply because I wasn't subjected to hearing it every five seconds whilst I watched the anime or turned the page in the manga.
Note: I write this as someone who dislikes Sakura's personality, but acknowledges her accomplishments and has defended her (sadly) in other threads.
Got some more to add;
- Karin - I dislike her more than Sakura, which is saying something.
- Danzo - didn't buy into the sympathy card Kishi tried to pull for him.
- A - reminds me of Barret from FFVII, I disliked him too. Muscle-bound d*ck-head.
- Kiba - he's annoying. In real life, I'd run from people like him... and Naruto, perky/agressive people who are overly optimistic and smile too much.
- Sandaime - his plan for Naruto's childhood has him marked clearly on my sh*t list.
- Kankuro - like a dolly-wielding sand version of Kiba, sort of... obviously, more miserable and the outfit/face paint is terrible.
- Akamaru - I hate his ears, a lot. They're up there with Karin and Sakura.
