Canadian DJ, I'm done arguing with you; It's one thing to say That Hinata doesn't matter to NaruSaku, but when you say her character won't even become the Hyuga leader ...
How much of a hater are you anyways?! Whether NaruHina happens or not, one thing is 100% clear-as-day gonna be canon; and that's Hinata being Hyuga leader. Why? Because the role was never TAKEN from her to begin with; Hanabi/Neji being the given the role is either fanon [in Neji's case] or filler [in hanabi's case]
Also, Hinata WAS there when Sasuke showed up [But she got her own panel ] 
T XD, I'm not putting her on a pedestal; much like Shikamaru, Kishimoto has given Hinata more development than most other side characters, and she has issues that need to end/be resolved for her character to be done.
*Her feelings for Naruto need to end.
*She needs to show us her Lion fists+64 palms combo
*Her issues with her father & clan need to end
*She needs to move on from Naruto and stand on her own.
how can all this happen if you just expect her to disappear? Hm? How can Hinata move on from Naruto, and impress her father, and gain confidence if she doesn't show up/do something? It doesn't work
And don't say 633, because she STILL showed to be confident when she was about to end her Attack at 32 palms
Im sorry but when did I say that I hate hinata? I dont. I just simply dont care about her. As simple as that. Why would I hate a fictional character anyway? Im not a certain fanbase from the west to downgrade myself like that.
And actually, hinata was kicked out of her fathers sight back then because she was weak and hanabi was the stronger one. Hanabi has been training under her father to become the head of the clan, go read the chunin exam arc in the manga cuz I think your short of facts. And neji wasnt said to have to become the head of clan, but he wasnt allowed since he was the side branch and he seemed pissed off back in part 1. Hinatas goals have never included to become the head of the clsn and she never once thought of that. This is just a concept the hinata fans have made up.
Oh and bout the panel of hinata when sasuke arrived, I see what you did there, trying to make hinata sound like she got a panel of her own

no she didnt. Before sasuke arrived in front of naruto and sakhra we got a panel of hinata with this in her speech bubble, "!!" Then sasuke arrived. But when the K11 rounded up around him and naruto and sakura hinata wasnt there. Go read the manga.
And kishimoto hasnt given hinata more developments than the other side characters, only better development than kiba and shino. Hinata hasnt had anything near shikamaru and ino and choji. Or even neji and lee. Just better than kiba and shino, but thst really isnt saying much.
You and many others here say she still has issues, she might have issues but the issues you guys have listed has been handled already.
You say her feelings for naruto need to end. Her feelings for him werent romantic in the first place, she amdires the guy and wants to improve like him. We already got that in the manga and naruto alresdy replied to her.
You say she needs to show us her twin lion fists and 64 palms. Whats there to show? She already used the 64 palms, what can she possibly use them on other than the jubi clones which she already did? Nothing. Kishi couldve shown us what the lion fists do in 633 but he didnt. Her times up. Plus, whats so special about it? Is is some sort of fuinjutsu? Will she gain a power up to her byakugan? No, my guess it just drains the opponents chakra. She cant do anything with them.
You say she has issues with her father and clan. Look I dunno where you fans are getting this concept from. Back in part 1 this was addressed but in part 2 nothing was mentioned. Hinatas father already saw her use the air palm, even though she had narutos chakra just like the rest of the alkiance, but kishimoto just wanted to show us that I guess. Did hinata ever think of her clan? Did kishi ever mention anything about hinata in his interviews? No. Mark my words that kishi wont make hinata the head of the clan.
You say she needs to move on from naruto and stand on her own. Kishi already made hinata say that in 573 and she already got confidence from naruto and nejis advice and said in chap 633 she'd keep improving and even if its just one step. What do you want kishi to do an indian drama for hinata with leaves dancing jn the backfround and her lookimg at naruto from a distance and repeating the SAME thing she said jn chal 633? Kishi has got a manga he wants to finish he has bigger stuff to handle. Hes alresdy finished her chsracter.
Your just gonna keep expecting from hinata but your really not gonna get anything outta her.
Hinata's character isn't done all right. I hope Kishi gives her confidence and made her into a more dependable person without relying on Naruto. I do believe in the end Hinata and Hanabi will fight for the heir position and eventually Hinata will win. I see her ruling over the clan and been the one to break the bird cage seal and slowly uniting the second and main branches, putting the true meaning of" clan". Can't forget she will also erase the hatred from the second branch towards the main branch. I also believe Hinata will become one of Naruto's most trusted friends among team seven and Shikamaru. She will also give her support as heiress when he becomes Hokage. We can't forget her growth of character wasn't done completely by Naruto, but Neji too. He also helped her become into a better person.
However of everything I mentioned, the only thing I don't see is Hinata getting together with Naruto.
This is all not gonna hsppen, lemme tell you why.
Hinata isnt an importsnt character and kishi has never foreshadowed hinats to become narutos trusted friends. Shikamaru and choji and neji and lee are the ones other thsn team 7. Hinata has never wanted to become the leader of the clan and kishi doesnt intend to go tbat route. Mark my words, its never been mentioned even once. Hanabi has been the one training under her fsther. The side branch and main branch are already friendly towards eachother and alresdy been addressed by hiashi and his brother in the war. Nejis dad thought thst the side and makn branch were still at war like the olden days, but hiashi told him thst thats wrong and hinata and neji are fighting alongside eachother. The side branch and main branch have already fixed thr problem. Plus hinata has never been made for this role as head. Ber character has come to a full circle. She wont be doing anything. Mark my words. I dunno why some people are expecting so much from hinata when kishi alresdy finished it and she gained confidence and stands on her own without naruto. Soon all of you will come to know.
