A Serious Injury Begins

At the beginning of the serious injury, Hinata seemed to have a slight advantage. Her Gentle Fist attacks made Neji somewhat flustered, and he could only keep defending. However, this was only a superficial appearance. In reality, while defending, Neji cleverly used pressure point techniques to launch attacks on Hinata.

As the battle progressed, Neji gradually sealed Hinata's chakra flow, making her attacks increasingly ineffective. Just then, Neji deliberately exposed an opening, and Hinata, seeing this, immediately unleashed her full power in an attack, hoping to defeat Neji in one fell swoop.

However, Hinata didn't expect that all of this was part of Neji's calculations. When her palm struck Neji simultaneously struck her back. This strike seemed ordinary, but its power far exceeded Hinata's imagination.

The result was that both of them were hit by a palm strike, but the effects of the strikes were completely different. Neji was unharmed, while Hinata was as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground.

Despite this, Hinata did not give up. She struggled to her feet again and again, continuing to attack Neji. But each time, she was easily knocked to the ground by Neji.

Seeing Hinata's tenacity, the referee initially intended to declare Neji the winner. However, Hinata proved her resilience and tenacity through her actions.

Finally, Hinata found an opportunity and retorted to Neji that the one suffering the most inside was actually Neji himself. This enraged Neji, who rushed forward recklessly, wanting to deliver the final blow to Hinata.

At this critical moment, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Hayate Gekko intervened in time, stopping Neji's potentially fatal blow.

Although Neji's attack was successfully blocked, Hinata's injuries were too severe, and she eventually collapsed on the field.

Naruto rushed to the stretcher, his heart filled with worry and self-blame as he looked at the injured Hinata. Hinata slowly opened her eyes, looking at Naruto with a hint of expectation in them, hoping Naruto would tell her if she had changed.

A month later, with the Chunin Exams finals drawing ever closer, Naruto decided to visit the training ground that had once helped him become a Genin.

When he arrived at the training ground, he was surprised to find Hinata there as well. Hinata smiled shyly when she saw Naruto.

Naruto stepped forward and started chatting with Hinata. As they talked, Naruto suddenly confided his inner anxieties and insecurities to Hinata. He told Hinata that although he had performed exceptionally well in the exam, it was just him showing off, and he wasn't actually that strong.

After Naruto finished speaking, he expected Hinata to laugh at him or be disappointed in him. However, to his surprise, Hinata didn't do that. Instead, Hinata said to him in a gentle voice, "Naruto, I don't think so. In my heart, failure doesn't mean weakness. Only those who can get back up after a failure are truly strong."

Hinata's words struck Naruto like an Inazuma, and he suddenly understood many things. He realized that he had always cared too much about what others thought and neglected his true inner strength.

Naruto looked at Hinata gratefully, his fighting spirit reignited. He said to Hinata, "Thank you, Hinata, your words have enlightened me. I will definitely give it my all in the finals and prove my strength!"

After saying that, Naruto turned and left, leaving Hinata alone on the training field. Hinata looked at Naruto's back and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She felt that Naruto's evaluation of her was a bit strange, saying that she was a person with a sullen personality and who was indecisive.

However, when Naruto's final words, "I quite like people like you," reached Hinata's ears, her mood instantly brightened.

After that, Hinata decided to go watch Naruto's match and cheer him on. However, on the field, Hinata became so nervous when she saw Naruto injured that she fainted.

Fortunately, Kabuto Yakushi, disguised as ANBU, appeared in time, revived Hinata, and healed her injuries.

During the mission to capture Sasuke, Naruto was unfortunately injured and sent to the hospital for treatment. Upon hearing the news, the members of Team 8 came to visit him. When Hinata entered the ward, her heart raced involuntarily, as this was the first time she had been so close to Naruto. However, the moment she reached Naruto's bedside, she suddenly felt dizzy, lost her balance, and collapsed to the ground.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes in the hospital bed and saw Naruto looking at her with Shoichi. Her face instantly turned bright red, filled with shyness and embarrassment. Naruto asked her if she was alright, Hinata quickly nodded, saying that she was just a little dizzy.

Hinata noticed that Naruto seemed a bit down; it turned out he had been worried about Sasuke and Orochimaru's whereabouts. Hinata was also worried; she knew how important Sasuke was to Naruto.

During training with Kiba and Shino Aburame, Hinata suggested that they work together to help Naruto find Sasuke. Shino Aburame suggested that the Bikōchū have an extremely keen sense of smell and might be able to find Sasuke's trail. However, he immediately pointed out that the Bikōchū are nearly extinct, and the chances of catching them are extremely slim.

Hinata wasn't deterred by Shino Aburame's words; she resolutely requested that everyone go together to find the Bikōchū. Shino Aburame and Kiba exchanged a glance; they could both see Hinata's determination. Considering this was the first time Hinata had so proactively made a request, they decided to apply to the Fifth Naruto.

Upon hearing the news, Naruto joined the team without hesitation. His gaze fell on Hinata, his eyes filled with deep gratitude. Hinata's presence was like a warm ray of sunshine, illuminating a corner deep within his heart.

Hinata's waterfall training journey led to the Bikōchū Bikōchū Forest. One night, Naruto got up to urinate. When he went outside, he vaguely saw a figure training by the waterfall. The figure was indistinct in the moonlight, and Naruto couldn't make out who it was.

The next morning, the group continued their journey. During the journey, Naruto chatted with Kiba and Shino Aburame. He casually mentioned the figure he had seen the previous night, saying he thought he saw someone training by a waterfall. Kiba and Shino Aburame exchanged a glance and smiled. They knew that figure was Hinata.

Naruto's face flushed instantly when Hinata brought it up. She lowered her head, flustered and unsure how to respond. Naruto, however, was completely oblivious to the embarrassment his words had caused Hinata, and continued discussing the previous night's events with Kiba Shino Aburame.

Just then, Shino Aburame suddenly stopped. He looked up at the sky and said, "I feel moisture coming in; it should rain soon." Everyone was worried upon hearing this. The Bikōchū begin to hatch when it rains, and if they haven't been found by the time they hatch, they won't be able to do anything, and the mission will fail.

Hinata felt a sudden urge to give up. She thought the mission might fail due to the weather, and she wasn't sure if she could actually find the Bikōchū. However, when she saw Naruto's determined eyes, that thought instantly vanished.

Naruto seemed to sense Hinata's hesitation. He walked to Hinata side and encouraged her, "Don't worry, Hinata, we'll definitely find the Bikōchū!" His words were simple, but full of strength. Hinata looked at Naruto, a wave of emotion washing over her.

Inspired by Naruto's unwavering belief, Hinata decided not to give up. She took a deep breath, concentrated, and activated her Byakugan, which she had enhanced through training. Gradually, her vision cleared, and the shapes and movements of tiny insects began to appear in her eyes.

After a difficult search, Hinata finally found traces of the Bikōchū. Her eyes lit up, and her face lit up with excitement. Pointing ahead, she excitedly shouted, "Look, there's Bikōchū!"

Hearing Hinata's call, everyone looked in the direction she was pointing. Sure enough, in the grass not far away, a group of Bikōchū were dancing gracefully. Their wings shimmered with a faint light, like twinkling stars in the night sky, beautiful and mysterious.

Hinata was overjoyed and wanted to get closer to the Bikōchū to observe their appearance closely. However, just as she reached the riverbank to clean her face, she suddenly encountered an accident.

A group of the Kamizuru Clan the Iwagakure appeared silently behind her and swiftly kidnapped her while she was off guard. The Kamizuru Clan left a letter threatening that Hinata would have to be exchanged for the Bikōchū if they wanted her to be safe.

Hinata was tightly bound by the Kamizuru Clan with a special honey-like substance, rendering her completely immobile. Her body was suspended in mid-air, hanging above the river by a rope. Beside the rope, 13 bees watched her every move intently.

These bees were clearly highly trained; their movements were exceptionally precise and swift. The moment Hinata showed the slightest sign of resistance, the bees would swiftly cut the rope, plunging her into the bottomless waterfall below. Beneath that waterfall lay a turbulent, unfathomable underground river, its waters icy cold and turbulent, offering virtually no chance of survival.

Hinata knew her situation was extremely dangerous, but she was not consumed by fear and panic. Instead, she remained calm and composed, observing her surroundings with keen eyes, not missing any possible opportunity to escape.

Just then, an idea flashed through Hinata's mind. She decided to focus on dealing with the 13 bees and eliminating them first, and then find a way to break free from her restraints. So, Hinata took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and prepared to launch a powerful attack.

However, just as Hinata was about to make her move, she suddenly realized that the bees seemed to have sensed her intention. As if they possessed some kind of telepathy, they quickly scattered, skillfully avoiding Hinata's attack, rendering her efforts futile.

Hinata's plan failed, and at that moment, the rope began to loosen because of her struggles. Seeing that she was about to fall into the waterfall, Hinata's heart pounded, and various thoughts flashed through her mind.

At this critical moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Hinata's mind, like an Inazuma piercing the darkness. She took a deep breath, regulated her breathing, and let the chakra within her body gather in her hands like a surging wave.

With a low growl, Hinata used all her strength to push forward. The originally indestructible honey-like substance was actually torn open by Hinata's powerful chakra impact. Hinata's body shot out of the opening like an arrow.

In mid-air, Hinata deftly flipped over, landing steadily on a rock like a light swallow. Her movements were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

However, Hinata, having successfully escaped danger, had no time to catch her breath. She had only one thought in her mind: to reunite with Shino Aburame, Kiba, Naruto, and the others as soon as possible. She knew they were facing a tremendous threat, and the Kamizuru Clan would not let them off easily.

Hinata stood up without hesitation and ran like a gust of wind towards the direction where Shino Aburame, Kiba, Naruto, and the others were. Her steps were light and swift, as if the wind was blowing beneath her feet.

Meanwhile, Shino Aburame was using his insects to search for the enemy's stronghold. After a difficult search, he finally discovered the hiding place of the Kamizuru Clan.

However, when Shino Aburame and his Kamizuru Clan, they discovered that their opponents were far stronger than they had imagined. In a fierce battle, Shino Aburame and his group gradually found themselves at a disadvantage, and at one point even nearly suffered defeat.

Worse still, they were trapped in a giant Hachinosu by the Kamizuru Clan. This Hachinosu was filled with a sticky, honey-like substance that made it difficult for them to move. Moreover, this honey-like substance constantly absorbed their chakra, and before long, they would be drained of all their chakra and become food for the young bees.

Three-Tails Mission 03:16 Pain was worried for Guren, Hinata couldn't be touched! (TV screenshots - 10 images) Hinata and her team finally received the mission to search Orochimaru's lair. When the enemy created a dense fog that caused visual and olfactory impairment...

Just as Kiba's abilities were about to be sealed, a figure suddenly appeared like Inazuma, instantly rescuing Kiba from danger. This figure was agile and swift, clearly a highly skilled ninja.

After rescuing Kiba, the mysterious ninja did not hesitate to engage in a fierce battle with Nurari. He unleashed a unique fist technique— Gentle Fist —his punches appearing soft and weak, yet containing boundless power.

Surprisingly, Nurari seemed completely immune to Gentle Fist. No matter how the mysterious ninja attacked with Gentle Fist, Nurari could easily dodge it, and even use his flexible tentacles to launch a fierce counterattack against Hinata, severely injuring Hinata.

Worse still, because Guren's Crystal Release could refract light, Hinata's Byakugan was completely useless in this environment, making it impossible for her to accurately detect the enemy's movements. Faced with such a predicament, Hinata did not lose heart. She concentrated her mind and relied on her superb mastery of Gentle Fist to unleash the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms. Each palm strike was like Zhou Yu, striking Guren's clone and finally successfully repelling it.

However, just as Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, she was inadvertently trapped in a Crystal Prison by Guren. The Crystal Prison was incredibly sturdy, and Hinata was trapped inside, unconscious and unable to move, completely at Guren's mercy. Guren used this to blackmail Kakashi and the others, putting them in an extremely passive position.

The rest of the group continued to track the enemy. At this time, the Three-Tails appeared, and Hinata and the others began the task of sealing it. [21] To hunt down Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi recommended Hinata and her group to Tsunade, and Kakashi served as the captain. The operation was to hunt down Uchiha Itachi and search for Uchiha Sasuke. [22]

During the battle between Hinata's team and "Masked Man" (Obito Uchiha) from the Akatsuki organization, Hinata was responsible for using her Byakugan to monitor "Masked Man's" location and the flow of his chakra.

They were also closely monitoring the black flames surrounding Itachi and Sasuke's battleground through some means. These black flames seemed to possess some mysterious power, filling people with both curiosity and apprehension about the battle.

Meanwhile, Konoha Muramasa facing a huge crisis. At 2:44 AM, Hinata, through her unique Byakugan ability, senses a potential danger. However, her teammate Kiba ignores her warning and insists on going to investigate, even trying to take the opportunity to confess his feelings to Hinata.

At this critical moment, Six Paths of Pain and Konan of the Akatsuki launched a sudden and fierce attack on Konoha Village like ghosts. Konoha Village was instantly engulfed in chaos and panic, with people fleeing in all directions and screams echoing everywhere.

Just then, Naruto had finished his arduous training at Mount Myoboku and was happily returning to Konoha Village when he unexpectedly stumbled upon this sudden and fierce battle. Faced with such a thrilling scene, Naruto did not hesitate at all; he immediately stepped forward and engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Pain.

However, the outcome of this final battle was completely unexpected. Despite Naruto's best efforts, he was ultimately pierced through the body by Pain's black rods and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Witnessing this, Hinata was frantic with worry. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Naruto with her Byakugan, her face filled with anxiety and concern. Beside her, Hyūga Kō, who was protecting her, calmly advised, "Hinata, you mustn't act impulsively! Going to help Naruto now might not only be useless, but it could also bring him even more trouble."

However, Hinata's deep affection for Naruto made it impossible for her to stand idly by in the face of the situation. She struggled painfully inside, but ultimately, her concern for Naruto overcame all fear and worry. So, she resolutely broke free from Hyuga Takashi's obstruction and stepped forward without hesitation to face the powerful Pain.

Hinata confessed to Naruto, "Naruto, I've always loved you!" Then, she unleashed her ultimate technique—Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists. Her chakra rapidly gathered in her hands, forming two ferocious lions that pounced powerfully towards Pain.

Hinata's goal was clear: she wanted to do everything in her power to break the black rods embedded in Naruto's body so that Naruto could stand up again. However, Pain's strength was far beyond Hinata's capabilities. Despite Hinata's best efforts, her attack was easily deflected by Deva Path's Shinra Tensei Pain.

Hinata was repeatedly thrown back, sustaining severe injuries and unable to stand up again. But she refused to give up, her mind focused on only one thing: saving Naruto.

Finally, Pain walked slowly and heavily towards Hinata. He gripped the black staff tightly in his hand, as if it were the only tool he could use to carry out this cruel act.

As Pain approached, Hinata's body trembled involuntarily. Her eyes widened, her face filled with terror as she stared at the black rod in Pain's hand, as if she could already foresee what was about to happen.

However, Hinata did not back down; she bravely stood her ground, facing Pain's threat head-on.

The instant Pain reached Hinata, he raised his black rod without hesitation and stabbed it viciously into Hinata body. The rod pierced Hinata's abdomen mercilessly, and blood gushed out instantly.

Naruto witnessed this scene, and his heart was torn apart. He believed that his incompetence had led to Hinata's death, and this self-blame and pain were unbearable for him.

Naruto was instantly enraged, and the power of the Nine-Tails within him erupted like a volcano. His body was gradually enveloped by the Nine-Tails' chakra, and one tail after another sprouted out.

Provoked by Nine-Tails's inflammatory words, Naruto's anger erupted like a volcano, instantly overwhelming his reason. At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind—to kill Pain and avenge Hinata!

As the Nine-Tails' power was continuously released, Naruto's body was gradually enveloped in a layer of red chakra. His eyes turned blood-red, revealing endless killing intent; he kept emitting low roars, as if the whole world was trembling at the sound of these roars.

Just as Naruto and Pain were locked in fierce combat, a sudden gust of Gale swept in, stirring up a cloud of dust. The dust obscured their figures, making it difficult to see the progress of their battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Hinata lay silently on the ground, blood gushing from her wounds, staining the ground beneath her red. The shocking sight of the red made one worry for her safety.

Upon discovering Hinata, the members of Guy's Team immediately swarmed around her like birds returning to their nest. Tenten anxiously bent down to carefully examine Hinata's injuries. When she confirmed that Hinata, although seriously injured, was not in mortal danger, a Ōishi was finally lifted from her heart.

Although she lacked some of the essential elements to Hyuga clan the Hyuga Main House's main branch, Hinata's pure heart and indomitable spirit allowed Hinata to slowly and steadily improve.

She hoped to get closer to the shadow of Naruto, whom she admired... [4] the Book of Shinobi records that Hinata, the first lily to bloom, is a direct descendant of the Konoha main family, a famous Hyuga Main House. This serious title made her feel an immense burden. She was a girl who limited her own potential. Through communication with her companions and teachers, she gradually improved and grew.
