10 Naruto: Hinata VS Neji

Hinata vs Neji in the Chunin Exams in Naruto

Hinata is a brilliant individual but compared to the rest of her clan she is on the weaker end of the spectrum. In comparison, her cousin Neji is considered a child prodigy who excels mentally and physically even above the brightest and strongest of his own clan. When the two are paired to face each other during the second stage of the Chūnin Exams it appears Hinata might be committing suicide by facing off against her cousin. While she does lose the match, she wins a small victory by refusing to surrender even under Neji's punishment.

9 Naruto: Jiga VS Hinata

Life as a ninja isn't as glamorous as Naruto had envisioned, especially after finding himself always on escort missions. During one of these missions, Naruto, Hinata, and Chōji are supposed to escort merchants through the Land of Vegetables, only to be stalked by a group of powerful ninjas out to kill a princess disguised as one of the merchants. One of the enemies is a ninja by the name of Jiga, who uses a magnetic wave manipulating jutsu. This poses significant problems for the team, at least until Hinata uses her Gentle Fist technique against him.

8 Naruto: Hinata VS Team Guren

One of the more sinister characters that Naruto and his friends had to face off with was the evil ninja Orochimaru, who attracted subordinates by promising them power over others. When Kakashi Hatake recruits Kiba and Hinata to investigate possible Orochimaru hideouts, they are attacked by Team Guren, who were gathered on Orochimaru's behalf.

After defeating Team Guren's Nurari, Kiba and Hinata find themselves trapped in Guren's Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique. Hinata is forced to use her Byakugan to locate the real Guren among her clones, forcing Team Guren to flee from the battle.

7 Naruto: Hinata VS Pain

Few armies, and far fewer individuals, had the strength to attack Konoha head-on, which just speaks to the level of ability the underground assassins of the group known as Akatsuki have. Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki, attacks Konoha and manages to defeat most of its defenders, including Naruto. However, upon seeing Naruto ensnared by Pain's Deva Path, Hinata takes on the Akatsuki leader, even though, she knows it will lead to her demise. She fights bravely but Pain's Deva Path quickly overwhelms her, giving her what looks to be a mortal wound, much to Naruto's horror.

6 Naruto: Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone VS Hinata

One of the more surprising things about Naruto is the fact that he doesn't seem like a uniquely talented ninja, yet he always tends to overachieve. Sadly, the same can be said of his clone. The Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone was created by the former Orochimaru subordinate Kabuto Yakushi in an attempt to siphon off Naruto's chakra. When the clone viciously attacked the real Naruto, Hinata tried to intervene but the clone possessed all of Naruto's abilities, helping it to quickly dispatch Hinata in the most violent of ways.

5 Naruto: Hinata VS White Zetsus

During the Fourth Shinobi's World War, clans fight against clans, brothers against brothers. Few know who to trust even when in the company of their allies. The White Zetsu Army, a creation of Madara and Obito Uchiha, numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

As these White Zetsus penetrated Neji and Hinata's Second Division, the group soon finds themselves overwhelmed. When Neji gives in to exhaustion, it is Hinata who takes charge in his place. She fights honorably, but their position is soon overrun by White Zetsus causing the Second Division to have to retreat behind their lines.

4 Naruto: Hinata VS White Zetsu's II

The White Zetsus are killing machines and few skilled ninjas can defeat their overwhelming numbers. With their ability to take the form of allies, The Second Division soon finds their numbers dwindling from the inside due to attacks from supposed allies. Hinata makes it her mission to find these Zetsu clones and rid the encampment of them. After discovering the Zetsus behind their lines, Hinata does battle but is knocked out by one, who then takes her form. Luckily, Kiba and Shino learn about the fake Hinata in time to save the real one.

3 Naruto: Ten-Tails VS Hinata

Naruto's creed for fighting is to never give up and always protect his friends. Sadly, each battle becomes not only a battle for his own survival but for those he cares about. As Naruto tries to free the Ten-Tails from the control of Madara and Obito Uchiha, he has no choice but to leave his guard open to attack. To preserve their chances for victory, Hinata steps in front of the Ten-Tails' attacks, taking the force of its blows. Knowing Hinata is on the brink of death, Neji steps in to save her life, ultimately costing him his own.

2 Naruto: Ten-Tails Clones VS Hinata

Unfortunately for Hinata, she has no time to mourn Neji's death as there is still a battle to be won. She does her part by fighting in Naruto's place while he is healed by Sakura Haruno. After he is healed and once again able to fight the Ten-Tails, Hinata decides to take the fight to the Ten-Tails Clones.

During the battle, her resolve begins to fade as she is relentlessly bombarded the clones, but once she reminds herself of Neji's sacrifice, she uses the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique to defeat the clones.

1 Naruto: The Flying Beast VS Hinata

In The Naruto Universe, Ninjas just can't abandon their duties to their country and flee to another without being considered a traitor. When Naruto and Sakura are assigned to find suspected traitors, Kakashi and Hinata join their team to bring these traitors back to Konoha. After finding three of them, they quickly use their combined forces to defeat the traitors, but not before they fuse with each other, creating a flying beast. Hinata uses her Gentle Fist technique as she combines with Neji to use the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique to ultimately vanquish the foe.
