While Hinata trains under Kurenai, Hanabi believes she must become stronger than her older sister. A year later, Natsu informs Hanabi that Hinata will enter the Chunin Exams, which Hanabi dismisses as futile. After Hinata suffers severe injuries fighting Neji, Hanabi visits her in the hospital and questions why she did not withdraw. Hinata explains her refusal to break her word. Hanabi later watches Neji lose to Naruto during the semifinals. She struggles to master the Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation under her father's guidance. Observing Hinata train with Neji, Hanabi questions her sister's confidence despite being considered a failure by their father. Years later, upon returning to the village, Hanabi learns of the Akatsuki's attack on Konoha and Hinata's stand against Pain. Recognizing Hinata's determination, Hanabi resumes her admiration for her sister and eagerly continues her own training to grow stronger.
