Actually, he never said that. He was reading a part of letter from some fan, those werent his words.
Where did you hear that from, and if you look at how Hinata's been acting lately and how Sakura acts, Hinata's character is more dynamic then Sakura's who constently remains static.
Hinata has always been developing her character, becoming bolder with her actions, constently changing. She changes in both her personality and in her skill. You can't deny that she has gotten stronger and you can't deny she's bolder then she used to be.
Sakura is stuck in a rut, always conflicted about her role as a kunoichi and to her comrades. She had a great resolve to change herself in terms of being useful to her comrades, however she's still confused and she's still stuck in her mind about her feelings. The only thing that has changed for her is her skills as a shinobi, not as a person.
Thank you.
well if you look at styles, Hinata has hyuuga way of fighting but is very poor at it, so poor in fact that her little sister is now the heir of the clan, on the other hand Sakura was trained as a medical ninja, and what are medics duties in regards to fighting on the battle field? Don't get hit
she was trained by tsunade (who's taijutsu is >>>>>>>>>>>> then hinata) in evading attacks, tsunade went all out on her and i'm sure kept going until sakura got it
also she by herself dodge and evaded at least 30 of sasori puppets not to mention destroying them in the process.
i can't see hinata hyuga ability hitting sakura, but i can see sakura getting one hit on hinata and knocking her out cold
So you're basing your argument on how poor Hinata's skills are on events since before she was a shinobi? Because that's when her father disowned her and made Hanabi the heir, before Hinata was a kunoichi. Factor in the impact Naurto has had on her will to keep training and how much you've seen of her since that flashback. I believe Hiyashi even said Hinata was strong enough to help cover Neji. Hinata is not poor in her taijutsu at all she is strong is strong enough in her abilities, if not at least enough to match or defeat Sakuras.
If you knew the background of the Hyuuga style, you'd know the internal style it was based on was defensive and it's plainly demonstrated as the Gentle fist is not that primary of an offense, it's uses are to evade, defend, and counter to cause internal harm, just like the Chinese style it was based off of and that has been demonstrated. Hinata's has demonstrated a great deal of flexability and the Byakugan gives her a heightened awareness so in terms of evasion/defense Hinata has that on tap as well as Sakura.
Sakura is fighting here, not Tsunade and Sakura is hardly even close to being Tsunade's level of a fighter so that was a lil bit of a waste of text.
I can definately see Sakura getting hit by Hinata, and I can see Hinata getting hit by Sakura. I can see both of them capable of evading each other's attacks or blocking them, however Hinata's working with more in terms of her close combat then Sakura.
