Hyuuga Hinata is the eldest daughter of the Hyuuga clan's main branch. Hinata was trained by her father, Hiashi Hyuuga, to become the clan's heiress, though in time he came to deem her a lost cause. Believing her to be of lesser skill than her younger sister, Hanabi Hyuuga, her father left Hinata in Kurenai Yuuhi's care once she was assigned to Team 8, claiming he didn't care what happened to her.

Hinata has a long-standing crush on Naruto, which has been present since their time in the Academy. Her feelings for him are rooted in his determination, confidence, and strength, all of which Hinata lacks. With her affection for Naruto, Hinata is constantly willing to break away from her normal personality traits in order to help him. She also becomes more assertive for Naruto, and also doesn't hesitate to defend him, even to himself. Her feelings for Naruto are one of the driving forces in her self-improvement, as she tries to gain strength in an attempt to both impress him and become like him.
