Hinata Hyuga is a member of Team Kurenai and one of the Konoha 11 in Naruto. She was the former heiress to Konoha's Hyuga clan before her father, Hiashi, deemed her too weak to lead. Since then, Hinata's trained hard to become a kunoichi her clan could be proud of.
Hinata's perseverance and refusal to give up made her one of Konohagakure's strongest kunoichi. She mastered the Hyuga's Gentle Fist technique before learning many of the clan's most powerful jutsu, all to protect her friends and get Naruto Uzumaki to recognize her as a capable kunoichi.
10 The Chakra Transfer Technique Allows Hinata To Give Her Chakra To Others
The Chakra Transfer technique allows a user to transfer their own chakra to one or more targets. This technique is often used on the battlefield to help weakened allies recover or bolster the attacks of more powerful shinobi. However, advanced chakra control is required to execute it properly.
Hinata learned the Chakra Transfer technique from Lady Tsunade during Konoha's mission to seal the Three-Tails. In addition to mastering the chakra control required of this technique, Hinata used the Chakra Transfer to supplement Naruto's chakra. With it, the pair successfully defeated Toneri Otsutsuki and stopped the moon from hitting the Earth.
9 Hinata Uses The Palm Sage Jutsu To Heal Injured Allies
The Palm Sage Jutsu allows users to convert their chakra into healing energy. This green energy can heal targets on contact, mending open wounds and restoring broken bones in a matter of minutes. If a user has precise chakra control and a large reserve of chakra, they can heal any number of fatal injuries with little to no difficulty.
Like most of Konohagakure's kunoichi, Hinata learned the Palm Sage Jutsu following Tsunade's induction as Fifth Hokage. She used it to the benefit of the Shinobi Alliance during the Fourth Ninja War, saving multiple soldiers from succumbing to their injuries. Hinata's Byakugan also affords her unique benefits when using the Palm Sage Jutsu, as she can directly scan a person's internal organs for damage before healing it.
8 The Four-Corner Sealing Barrier Can Seal The Three-Tails In Another Dimension
Tsunade Senju invented the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier Jutsu to capture the Three-Tailed Beast before the Akatsuki. After completing a series of steps, it casts a web large enough to entrap a Tailed Beast before transporting it to another dimension. The technique requires four kunoichi with precise chakra control to complete it, one for each of its four corners.
Tsunade selected Hinata among the kunoichi she taught the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier Jutsu. Hinata could perform the technique with little difficulty despite its complex nature; she could even produce the barrier multiple times within a short time span. Although the technique failed in its original intent, it did manage to show just how strong Hinata's chakra control really was.
7 Hinata's Palm Heel Strike Is Simple But Deadly
The Palm Heel Strike is an incredibly simple but powerful jutsu that utilizes a direct strike to an opponent's body. By sending a wave of chakra directly into their target on contact, the user can stun an enemy or damage their internal organs. This technique can be fatal if the Palm Heel Strike directly hits the target's heart.
As a member of the Hyuga, Hinata possesses her clan's unique skill of emitting chakra from her tenketsu, or chakra points. This makes Hinata's Palm Heel Strike a deadly jutsu as the surge of chakra can completely shut down her opponent's chakra network. Similarly, she can locate her target's vital organs using her Byakugan and directly attack them using the Hyuga's Gentle Fist technique.
6 The Water Needle Jutsu Has Pinpoint Accuracy & Deadly Cutting Power
The Water Needle Jutsu grants a Hyuga the ability to create water vortexes using their chakra. Once submerged in water, the user concentrated their chakra into needle-like senbon and fires them at nearby targets. The Hyuga's Byakugan grants the Water Needle Jutsu incredible accuracy and precision, so much so that it can simultaneously kill hundreds of moving bees.
Hinata Hyuga invented the Water Needle Jutsu after being captured by the Kamizuru Clan, a group of shinobi who specialize in bee-based jutsu. After being tied and left afloat on the river, Hinata used the Water Needle Jutsu to free herself from confinement while simultaneously destroying the Kamizuru's hundred bee drones.
5 The Eight Trigrams: Air Palm Is A Hyuga Clan Legacy
The Eight Trigrams: Air Palm utilizes the Hyuga's unique ability to expel chakra from their tenketsu. After thrusting their palm, the resulting wind gust becomes charged with exorbitant amounts of chakra. This gale sweeps opponents off their feet, blocks their tenketsu, and damages their internal organs.
Hinata's Eight Trigrams: Air Palm allows her to attack enemies from a distance using the Gentle Fist technique. While the Hyuga are typically close-combat fighters, Hinata uses the Air Palm offensively to disable her enemies or disband groups. She capably used this technique during the Fourth Ninja War, landing multiple simultaneous strikes against troupes of unwary White Zetsu.
4 The Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms Assaults Enemies With A Series Of Chakra-Blocking Strikes
The Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms is a secret technique of the Hyuga Clan. The user first envisions the Eight Trigrams Seal using their Byakugan, orienting themselves and their opponent within the seal. Then, they launch six sets of strikes, starting with two and doubling with each consecutive set. Upon completion, the target sustains heavy damage, both internal and external, and also suffers from having 64 of their tenketsu completely blocked.
Besides its overwhelming physical strength, Hinata's Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms deals devastating psychological damage to her targets as well. She completes the technique in under a minute, delivering 64 consecutive blows to her target's vital organs while shutting down their chakra points. Hinata's jutsu not only leaves her target gasping for breath but also completely incapable of using jutsu to heal or counterattack.
3 The Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Creates An Indestructible Shield Of Chakra Threads
The Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is a versatile technique that turns its parent technique into a defensive jutsu. By emitting a constant stream of chakra from their palms, the user creates a web of extremely thin chakra threads. These threads, strong as steel and sharper than kunai, envelop the user in a protective cage to defend its user from enemies and jutsu alike.
Hinata invented the Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Jutsu by carefully studying its parent technique. This defensive jutsu provides an ultimate defense similar to the Palm Rotation technique. However, it also allows Hinata to simultaneously attack hundreds of targets at once, cutting her opponents into tiny pieces without distinction.
2 The Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists Absorbs Targets' Chakra On Impact
The Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist is a hidden technique known only the Hyuga's main branch. It allows a user to emit enough chakra into their fists that it becomes visible. The ensuing Lion-shaped chakra shrouds enhance the user's range and greatly increase their strength. As a bonus, the lion heads drain the chakra of those they touch immediately upon contact.
Following Pain's assault on Konohagakure, Hinata debuted the Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists when she defended Naruto from the Akatsuki leader. After mastering the technique under Neji's tutelage, Hinata fought admirably using the technique and managed to be the only kunoichi ever to land a hit against Pain. She later used the technique to aid the Shinobi Alliance during the Fourth Ninja War.
1 The Eight Trigrams Twin Lions Surging Shot Utilizes Hagoromo's Chakra To Devastating Effect
The Eight Trigrams Twin Lions Surging Shot is an enhanced version of its parent technique and is only available to someone who's obtained Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra. The Twin Lions Surging Shot is vastly more powerful than its predecessor with increased range, strength, and destructive power. Even the chakra is noticeably different, as the Lion Heads turn purple under Hamura's influence.
Hinata gained this ability after being kidnapped by Toneri Otsutsuki. After receiving Hamura's chakra, she improved the Hyuga's single greatest kekkei genkai ability before using it to destroy the Tenseigan. Additionally, she is the only Hyuga capable of producing this technique as she alone possesses Hamura's chakra.
