It's why the entire fight against Neji centered around what he did to her and how Naruto had to avenge her defeat. Even after he defeated Neji, his first thoughts were about whether or not Hinata was watching. One of the first times the two of them finally express any feelings for one another is when Hinata steps in to protect Naruto from Pain during their fight in Konoha.
While she does most of the confessing here, Naruto's reaction to it tells the audience everything it needs to know. The way he flies off the handle is greater than the two of them being friends. He reacts like he just lost the love of his life, willing to do anything to avenge her.
Once Naruto and Killer B escaped captivity and entered the war, the first thing Naruto did was root out all of the hidden White Zetsus whose copies were indistinguishable from the real people for everyone other than Naruto. Due to his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto was able to see the malice in their hearts , seeing through the disguise.
This let him save Hinata, as well as other ninja. Before departing, he makes sure to tell her that he knows she can take care of herself and that he's just returning the favor for all the times she helped him. After Neji sacrificed himself to save the loving couple, Naruto began to fall into despair and started questioning himself. Hinata wasn't having it, talking him out of giving up and saying everyone was counting on him. Rather than taking that to mean he needed to do it alone, Naruto's first act was grabbing her hand and sharing his chakra.
It showed that his true power was always those close to him and that he couldn't do it without her. After Hinata ran away from Naruto due to embarrassment over the special attention he'd been getting since the war, he gave chase.
It's a good thing he did as Hinata was soon attacked by the puppets of Toneri Otsutsuki, who sought to capture a Hyuga for his plans. He had to settle for Hanabi after Naruto managed to protect Hinata from the attempted kidnapping by defeating the army of puppets.
Hinata draws strength from him long before that, even back at the ninja Academy. In turn, when Naruto discovers this about Hinata, she also inspires him to keep going when he loses faith in himself. Writer Masashi Kishimoto did a series of promotional interviews in as the relationship between Naruto and Hinata came to the forefront of the anime and movies. That faith led Kishimoto to decide the two were meant for each other. Despite the view that some fans held of them as competitors though, Sakura was a big Hinata supporter.
Many series would pit their ladies against one another when it comes to being the center of attention. Instead, she actually encourages Hinata to tell Naruto how she feels.
Hinata finds herself teased about her feelings by her teammates Shino and Kiba during the animated series, but they never actually help her work up the courage to interact with Naruto.
Sakura encourages Hinata to finish and give Naruto a scarf she has been knitting for him. It takes the duo a long time to reach the same emotional point. The manga sees a story arc featuring a villain named Pain attacking those living in Hidden Leaf Village.
Because Naruto has the nine-tail fox bound inside his body, there are times where his power actually comes from the demon that tried to destroy the village when he was a baby. During the fight with Pain though, Naruto allowed the nine-tail fox to take over his body for one very specific reason: to avenge Hinata. When Naruto became pinned during his fight with Pain, Hinata took over for him, trying to protect her friend from the villain even though Naruto told her to run.
Pain sent one of his rods through Hinata, leaving her severely injured and unable to keep up the fight. So angry at seeing Hinata in such bad shape, Naruto embraced his rage and allowed the demon inside him to come out. It led to the demon nearly destroying the entire village in the fight. The devastation he caused left him guilt ridden, though that was short lived as he was more relieved that he was able to save Hinata. The anime also did their own take on the same arc. He spends much of the first series with a crush on his friend Sakura while Hinata admires him from afar.
In Naruto Shippuden , however, he calls her beautiful for the first time. During the anime, Hinata convinces her team to take on a new mission. They aid Naruto in his quest to find a bikochu beetle. The special insect will help track down their missing friend Sasuke. The mission itself is a difficult task for the group.
Hinata spends time on her own training in order to be able to master a skill that would save them later. She chooses to spend her time away from the boys training in a waterfall. He sees her training in a dance-like fashion amongst the water, and he recounts to the team later how beautiful the mysterious girl was. Throughout the anime, artists drew Hinata as very reserved.
She might smile to herself once in a while, but to openly laugh is rare. The only one who seems to be able to get a genuine laugh from her is Naruto. A few fillers saw Hinata interacting with Naruto and his friends, giving the audience a surprise laugh. For example, one scene shared with fans featured Naruto and Hinata enjoying ramen with Sakura and Kiba.
While discussing Kiba and his sunglasses, Naruto and Hinata share a laugh. In the early episodes, she even faints. The first time audiences get to see Hinata openly laugh during an episode is in her wedding arc.
Hinata gives a full laugh for the first and only time in the series. One movie decided to explore just what the characters would be like if there were slightly different circumstances surrounding them.
There, Naruto finds that his parents are still alive, though his name is Menma instead. Sakura discovers that with her father as a village leader, she has more freedom. It seems like the two could have it made if they stayed, but they find some differences that worry them. Instead of her meek and shy personality, Hinata was much more aggressive.
She was quick to jump into a fight, judge others, and put her own needs first. When Naruto has a conversation with the Kyubi about the hatred of an entire war and Sasuke, Naruto remembers him and Sasuke in their academy days. Naruto thinks of the time he and Sasuke were set to spar with each other in the Academy. Hinata is shown cheering for Naruto, but her voice is drowned out by the other girls cheering for Sasuke.
After being informed by Inoichi from headquarters that Naruto and Killer B were fighting the "masked Madara", Hinata and the rest of the Konoha 11 rushed to his aid. As she ran alongside Neji, she thought of Naruto and asked him to wait for her, and that instead of running after him, she'd be walking with him, hand-in-hand, once the war had ended. After arriving at the battlefield to assist in the fight against the Ten-Tails, Hinata immediately asks Naruto if he is alright.
As Naruto shouts to everyone in acknowledgement of their arrival, Kiba smiles and yells to Naruto, saying he shouldn't act tough just because of Hinata's presence. When the Hyuga clan arrives at the battlefield, the entire clan firmly states they will protect Naruto. When Hinata stands with Neji and declares to Naruto that they will protect him, Naruto shouts her name in surprise.
During one of the Ten-Tail's attacks, it sends thousands of sharp spikes careening through the air and onto the ground. One of these attacks heads towards Naruto and Hinata steps in front of him with the intention of being struck instead, willing to risk and sacrifice her life for his own. However, Neji instead is hit when he throws himself in front of Hinata, causing extreme damage to his body.
His life quickly fading, Neji tells Naruto that his life is not his own anymore, but everyone's, as all of the shinobi were willing to sacrifice their lives for his. After Neji's death, Obito taunts Naruto, mocking his resolve, pointing out how he said he wouldn't let any of his friends die. Obito offers Naruto a hand, persuading him to lose hope, but Naruto is stopped by Hinata, who slaps him across the face, reminding him of Neji's words.
Hinata reiterates to Naruto their shared nindo of never going back on their word. Regaining himself, Naruto thanks Hinata for being by his side, takes her hand, and transfers chakra to her and the rest of the Allied Forces. After receiving the chakra from Naruto, Hinata deflects one of the Ten-Tails' attacks with her 8 trigrams 64 palms. As Naruto, Hinata, and Lee as well as the rest of the Allied Forces charge at Madara and Obito, Naruto attempts to throw his Rasenshuriken, but finds that his arm is still dislocated.
Hinata quickly uses her Gentle Palm to relocate Naruto's shoulder, allowing him to throw his attack at Obito. Later during the battle, as Hinata fights some of the Ten-Tails spawns, she nearly fails to complete her combo. However, she has a flashback, and it was revealed that Naruto was smiling at her during the time they were holding hands. After the flashback, she says to herself that she wants to be by Naruto's side forever, and that she has figured the trick in connecting her attack and successfully completes her 64 palm combo.
As Naruto charges ahead into the battlefield, Hinata stays behind with the troops and is seen watching him with her Byakugan. At one point, Sakura asks Hinata about Sasuke and Naruto to which the Hyuga calmly replies that the two were, " smiling ". After the attack of the God Tree had calmed, Naruto's memories and emotions are transferred into the troops. Hinata is then shown to sympathize with him by muttering his name.
When everyone talks of wanting to be by Naruto's side, Hinata notes to herself that she must also work hard, for she wants the same. Sensing Naruto's presence as he is brought by Gaara , Hinata quickly turns around in curiosity. Assured by Kiba that Naruto is near by, she quickly activates her Byakugan and notices his slow heartbeat. Scared at the thought of Naruto dying, she rushes to his side. However, she trips. Clenching to herself, out of exhaustion, she prays for Neji to protect Naruto.
As the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu begins, Hinata is one of the many caught. Stating that she can no longer move, she mentally calls out Naruto's name as she descends into the genjutsu. When she is finally caught within her dream, Neji and Hanabi are shown spying on both her and Naruto while they seemingly are together as a happy couple.
Hinata and everyone else was then released by Naruto and Sasuke from the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Later, at Konoha, a memorial service is held for Neji. Naruto and Hinata attend Neji's funeral and they can be seen standing near each other. Over a year after the war has ended, Naruto employs some of his friends to spread rumors about Kakashi as revenge for being left out of Kakashi's latest adventure at Hozuki Castle.
Naruto says that he wishes he could have been there to help, since Kakashi was fighting for his life and all the others had gotten to participate. Hinata is one of the friends who agrees to help Naruto spread the rumor. When Kakashi finds out, he hits Naruto on the head and scolds him.
Hinata runs over to Naruto to ask if he is alright, admonishing Kakashi for being mean to him. The others join in, jokingly admonishing Kakashi until he agrees to buy Naruto some ramen as an apology. At the beginning of the movie, a young Hinata is seen being bullied by three older boys. Upon being called a monster because of her Byakugan eyes, breaking into tears, Naruto, who is sitting on a swing nearby, comes to defend Hinata.
However, he is easily beaten up and passes out. The boys then take his red scarf and begins playing and stomping on it.
Waking up, Naruto realize the boys are gone, Hinata approaches Naruto and asks if he was okay, also offering Naruto his scarf back. However, Naruto replies that the scarf was really wrecked so he didn't need it. Before Naruto left the scene, the young Hinata thanks Naruto and he bids her a goodbye. Upon watching his departure, Hinata is shown to still hold onto the scarf.
In the academy, Iruka asks his students to write on a piece of paper the name of the person they would want to be with if the world was going to end tomorrow. The class then erupted into laughter due to Naruto's comment.
When the students finally picked up their pencils and started writing, Naruto who couldn't think of anyone to write, folded his paper into a plane paper and throw it outside the window. As Iruka scolds Naruto for throwing the paper, Hinata looks at Naruto and writes something down on her paper. In the present timeline of the movie, in the evening, Hinata can be seen coming out from a shop, proceeding to walk home.
At the same time, Naruto who was having ramen at Ramen Ichiraku is approached by Konohamaru, who tells Naruto that he has something to show him. At night time, in the Hyuga mansion, Hinata is shown knitting a red scarf, remembering the time Naruto defended her from the three bullies, also revealing she had kept his old one from that time.
Hinata later meets Sakura when she comes out from a shop in the evening. Curious, Sakura asks if Hinata was knitting something to which Hinata replies that she was making a scarf. Sakura tells Hinata that Naruto has been really popular with girls recently and some have even come from other villages just to meet him.
Sakura then encourages Hinata to hurry and finish the scarf, also telling her to be more confident. It is then revealed that Hinata has been knitting the red scarf every night. At one night, Naruto is seen standing at the window as he holds a blue-striped scarf in his room filled with presents.
When Hinata finished knitting the scarf, she happily runs down the stairs to leave and give the scarf to Naruto but begins to hesitate. Seeing this, Hanabi teases Hinata, telling her to hurry up and just tell Naruto how she feels.
Hinata then leaves to give the scarf to Naruto. At the meantime, Naruto was having ramen with Sakura and Team Upon taking off his scarf, Sakura begins to wonders why Naruto was so concerned about it. Upon wanting to ask about it, she is stopped by Hinata's appearance. Naruto then asks Hinata to join them for ramen and says it's his treat since he had a good day.
Seeing Hinata's hesitation, Sakura also asks Hinata to join them and moves over to let Hinata sit next to Naruto. When Hinata takes the seat, Naruto's fangirls appear and Naruto treats them ramen the same way he treated Hinata.
Hinata then says that she's already full and decides to leave. Sakura then tells Naruto to walk Hinata home to which Naruto asks why and says that Hinata is strong so she can walk home herself. Hearing this, Hinata then leaves. Sakura gets angry and leaves after she calls Naruto an idiot. Sakura walks with Hinata and says that Naruto can be so dense. Sakura then asks Hinata if she is going to give him the scarf and tells her to be more confident in herself.
Hinata then asks Sakura why she is encouraging her so much to which Sakura replies that they need to support each other after she reminisces about Sasuke. When Hinata reaches her house, she decides to go and give the scarf to Naruto. Later, various masked puppet breaks into the Hyuuga house and kidnaps Hanabi. Hinata can be seen practicing her confession to hand over the scarf to Naruto in an empty street. When she was about to practice again, Naruto appears and goes to talk with Hinata.
Hinata becomes upset when she sees Naruto wearing a blue-striped scarf. Hinata's face turns red and she runs away because she feels embarrassed. Hinata can be seen sitting alone on a swing in a park and wonders who gave Naruto the blue-striped scarf.
Hinata then cries with her tears falling on her red scarf. Toneri suddenly appears in front of Hinata and asks why she is crying. When Naruto reaches the park, he sees a puppet holding Hinata as Toneri casts something on her.
Toneri and the puppet then disappear, taking Hinata with them. An army of puppets attack Naruto and he beats them up along the way as he chases the puppet that took Hinata away. Naruto manages to defeat the puppet and Hinata falls down from the roof. Luckily, her scarf gets caught on the side of the building, stopping her from falling. Naruto continues his fight with the puppet after he asks Hinata if she is okay. Hinata climbs up the building but her body suddenly becomes numb and she falls from the roof when the scarf is ripped.
Naruto finishes his fight and catches Hinata. On the roof top, Naruto comments that the scarf is ripped. Toneri reappears and says he will definitely be back for Hinata and then disappears. After Toneri disappears, a giant meteor falls down from the sky and lands behind the Hokage monument.
Naruto and Hinata look in amazement. The next day, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sai and Shikamaru; with him leading the team, are sent on a mission to save Hanabi.
Naruto and Hinata are on the same ink bird. Hinata blushes and says they need to get back to the team and tells Shikamaru and the others about the kunai. The team continue their search together and Hinata, who is using her Byakugan, sees a glowing lake in a cave.
Before they dive in, Naruto takes off his scarf so it will not get wet. Sakura asks Naruto why it matters if the scarf gets wet to which Naruto replies that it is a big deal because the scarf means a lot to him. Hinata becomes upset after hearing this. They then dive into water and fall into a genjutsu that makes them reminisce their memories. Naruto flashes back to the time when Iruka asks them to write the name of the person they want to be with if the world was going to end, then he flashes back to the time he fights Kiba during the Chunin Exams, and then he flashes back to the time when Hinata gives him her family's ointment as she blushes.
Meanwhile, Hinata flashes back to the time Naruto fought Pain alone. Next, Naruto sees the time when Iruka asks them to write the name of the person they want to be with if the world was going to end. Naruto watches his younger self get scolded by Iruka. When Naruto turns to look at the young Hinata, he is surprised to see that she had written down his name as the person she would want to be with on her last day on earth.
Then, Naruto sees Sakura walks with Hinata and she encourage her to give him the scarf she knitted. The scene then cuts to Hinata, leaving from Ramen Ichiraku after hearing Naruto not willing to walk her home. Naruto chases after Hinata and the paper with his name written on it falls to him and he then sees Hinata in her Shippuden form, saying to him that she loves him.
This makes Naruto finally realize that Hinata has loved him for so long.
