Naruto girls on the whole don't get as much time to show as girls in Fairy Tail or One Piece but Hinata far from sucks. Of all the Rookie 9, minus Team 7, she's basically had the most development aside from Shikamaru. She's always there for Naruto and is probably the best guiding light he had, judging from the Pain arc and the relatively recent death of Neji. No longer is she the shy, incompetent girl she once was. She's far more capable a combatant than Ino. Byakuga alone would give her the win in a fight between the two imo.

And she was hot as hell in Road to Ninja :3
