Hinata Hyuga is a kunoichi of Konohagakure. Formerly the heiress of the Hyūga clan, she lost the position upon being deemed unsuited for the responsibilities of leading the clan. Nonetheless, Hinata persevered. Through her membership with Team 8, she sought to become strong enough to change herself, if even a little at a time. A few years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, she joined the Uzumaki clan after marrying Naruto.
By the end of ‘Naruto Shippuden‘, Hinata had achieved her dream of not only gaining Naruto’s attention but becoming his wife in what was one of the most touching moments in the series. She is a shy person in general, but when it comes to her family one would not want to get on the wrong side of hers. Know more about Hinata Hyuga.

Who Is Hinata Hyuga?
Hinata is the oldest daughter of Hiashi Hyūga. When she was still a child, she was almost kidnapped by the-then Head Ninja of Kumogakure. He was visiting Konoha under the guise of signing a peace treaty between their two villages. Hiashi killed him and saved Hinata, setting in motion the events that would become known as the “Hyūga Affair”.
In the anime, Hinata and Hanabi were pitted against each other to determine who would one day lead the Hyūga. Because Hinata was unwilling to harm Hanabi – a hesitation Hanabi did not share – she was defeated, disappointing her father. She was then disinherited and turned over to the care of Kurenai Yūhi.

How Did Hinata Meet Naruto?
On the day of her enrolment in Konoha’s Academy, Hinata was picked on by three bullies because of her unusual eyes. Naruto, despite not knowing her, immediately came to her defence. However, he was outnumbered and knocked unconscious, and the bullies damaged the red scarf he was wearing. When he regained consciousness, Hinata thanked him for helping her and returned his scarf to him, but he let her keep it.
Hinata started watching Naruto from that point onwards, and by doing so saw Naruto’s desire to gain attention and his struggle to exceed the extremely low expectations others had for him. Despite this, Naruto never lost faith in himself or his dream to become the Hokage. Hinata was inspired by this and started emulating Naruto, adopting his refusal to never give up as a means of earning her father’s approval. In the anime, Hinata’s growing affections for Naruto were noticed by the Hyūga’s elders, who warned her to stay away from him. However, we all know how that went down in history!
