Kakashi's stats are higher than Hebi Sasuke's. Does that mean Kakashi's stronger? Some of those lacks of points come from things like low strength, which is unnecessary for Hinata's fighting style. A single hit is very dangerous. It's attacking internal organs. Not saying it's a one shot, but a single touch is deadly.
Except Hinata has a 3.5 in intelligence which is just as good as Sasuke, and he wouldn't be easily outwitted by Sakura. Kiba would slaughter Shikimaru in a fight.
Do you think Sakura has a choice but to be touched in a fight? Especially when Hinata's taijutsu is better?
sakura have tools(sleeping/poison/explosion kunai), and she won't be holding back in a death match, plus she have displayed wits, she can recognize patterns as shown in sasori's fights. hinata goes in a straight line for the entirety of this manga, barely learnt to step forward at the end of 32 palms and you think she can win against sakura with more experience? most of all 1 punch in any place will damage hinata severely but 1 juuken had to be in the right place to deal severe damage. i may be a sakura fan but i'm talking logically here.
She could figure out Hinata's attack patterns and abilities as a Hyuga. Hinata has just a .5 above Sakura anyway in taijutsu, that doesn't mean she will be unharmed. If you think Sakura can't get at least one chakra enhanced punch/kick on her than you cray cray. Hinata needs to touch a chakra point, not just her arm btw.
Bwahahahahah! Ok, this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! You make a post saying you don't need chakra to beat Hinata, and only a rock is necessary(clearly referring to her tripping over it) which is completely irrelevant and just an attempt to make her look weak and you say you're not bashing?!
Kid Hinata<Kid Hanabi. True. Nobody cares. Care to explain what you know Hanabi's capable of? Oh wait, you don't know, and for all you know, Hanabi's almost as strong as Neji.
No, gentle fist does not require hitting chakra points. Anywhere on the body suffices. You only need to hit chakra points for shutting down chakra.
Currently yes, past wise, no.

Fine you want me to answer your question?
She would have either been too shy to talk
Or be an annoying part 1 Sakura saying "NARUTO-KUN!!" all the time
Never was it once stated that you need to hit the chakra points in order to effect the organs. As stated, it only takes a slight touch, in which the users of gentle fist just put their chakra into the inner coils. It does not require direct hits. The only thing that requires chakra points is controlling the enemies chakra.

Too bad. It is. People forget how OP Hyuga are in CQB.
Yeah, it really is a shame. Facing a Hyuga at close range is suicide unless you have insane speed/Sage Mode reflexes.
OT: Things would have turned out much differently story wise. Hinata has a more compelling backstory and it would be cool to see how things turned out in that respect, in complacence with Naruto's own past and her love for him.
