Part 1 Sakura didn't even have a single technique. How are her, Ino or TenTen above Hinata who could parry with Neji for a bit and even manage to tag him?
And at the end of the fight Hinata and Neji both said all her attacks was useless and null. She literally did nothing to Neji not even lay 1 single hit.
Some things are debatable in this thread but two things for certain.
Ino and Sakura should be at the bottom, and all the leaf kunoichi sucked in part 1 lol Tenten was probably the best one following Hinata and that doesn't say much lol Temari ruled them all in part 1
Hinata only did what she did because Neji was playing and Naruto was cheering. There's no way she was pulling that off against Sakura with Naruto cheering for Sakura. Anyway if she could do what she did then she'd be third on the list.

Yeah, after he closed her tenketsu. This hit landed and you can see him stagger and shriek in reaction to it.

It's not even debatable, it's right there, there's literally an SFX showing that this particular hit landed ('ZING'), and Neji got staggered by it and reacted verbally proving its effectiveness. None of the other ineffective hits staggered him to that extent or caused him to react verbally and that's the proof that they were ineffective.
If an attack staggers the opponent and triggers a verbal reaction used to express pain, how can you say the attacker 'didn't land the hit'?
Anyway, believe what you want to. There's no convincing some of you when it comes to Hinata
- Sakura's chakra enhanced speed was "too fast" for ino and the other onlookers. Kakashi complimented her for her mastery of chakras and it's extremely delicate aspects.
- She could force out ino with her absolute unbreakable to genin jutsu, which resounds the fact her inner sakura's will power which can help her increase her stamina if she tires out in the midst of battle.
- Seeing inner sakura is a seperate entity of it's own, sakura could get chakra reserves from this entity.
Second'd be temari.
Third'd be ino.
Fourth'd be tenten.
Fifth would be hinata.

Love how you leave out these scans. Her attacks did nothing not even graze him and he toyed with her to see the extent of her strength.
I don't even hate Hinata nor do i like her so i'm not gonna overrate her like some of y'all do here. Neji other than Gaara was legit the strongest in those exams and you're trying to say Hinata was able to keep up and tag the guy. :lol

These scans are pages later, I didn't leave anything out (at least not intentionally like you seem to be implying) I keep telling you that Neji hadn't closed her tenketsu at that point so that initial strike wasn't null and void (as backed by the fact that it pushed him back and he himself shrieked). Their entire fight up to that point (which consisted of just one panel) was on panel and Hinata deflected every one of his strikes before the hit I'm talking about (meaning he couldn't have closed her tenketsu by that point)
Neji's verbal reaction proves that particular attack did indeed have an effect. How can you seriously say the attack did nothing when he obviously got staggered and he himself reacted to it. Sure he was holding back, but Hinata did land a hit on him so I don't know how you can even say she didn't 'lay one single hit' which is obviously not true. You're still yet to address anything I pointed out (the SFX, his stagger and his shriek)
You're saying she didn't land a hit on him, the SFX shows she did

You're saying the attack (the initial hit I'm referring to which occured prior to a portion of their fight getting off paneled which is presumably when he closed her tenketsu) did nothing at all to Neji, the manga shows him get pushed back and react verbally

Saying he held back and her attacks were ineffective in the bigger picture is different from saying she didn't even land a hit on him at all, which she clearly did and that her attacks did absolutely nothing, which again the initial one clearly did
I also think you're misinterpreting my statement, I am in no way saying Hinata was as powerful as Neji, that would be absurd and ridiculous. All I said was that she tagged Neji, which she did. I acknowledge that he was holding back, but that doesn't change the fact that it happened

Lol legit in the scan Hinata and Neji both say from the beginning that her attacks was useless and yet you're here saying she still got him when she didn't.
I guess dodging = pushing someone then? :lol guess everyone who dodge is getting pushed then.
Manga - from the beginning your attacks was useless.
You - her attacks connected.
Manga - shows Hinata with all her chakra points closed in her arm.
You - he didn't close them till after. Yet manga says different.
Neji toyed with her and still demolished her and she couldn't even get 1 hit in.
These 2 scans literally tell you she and her attacks was null.

So he closed them without landing a hit on her? Saying 'from the beginning' is obviously hyperbole because it is literally impossible for him to close her tenketsu without hitting her which he hadn't at that point. I don't know why you keep ignoring that, do you really believe she just walked into the fight and from the beginning nothing she did would work without Neji even doing anything to her? And he didn't dodge, he obviously got pushed back. None of this is disproving anything either. I said she tagged him, which means landing a hit, which she did. You keep saying she didn't get a hit in, but she clearly did. Neji didn't dodge, he got staggered and the SFX and his own verbal reaction are proof of the hit landing. I don't know how you can even deny that. And she tagged him multiple times, it doesn't even matter if they were effective or not at this point, the fact that she was able to land hits on him(albeit while he was holding back) proves that her taijutsu is at least pretty good and superior to the characters I compared her with
