What happens to Hinata in Boruto?
In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Hinata Hyuga is portrayed as a loving mother and supportive wife to Naruto Uzumaki. She has retired from active ninja duty to focus on her family, particularly raising her children, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki.
Hinata remains a strong presence in the Uzumaki household, guiding Boruto with patience despite his rebellious nature towards his father. She plays a key role in maintaining family harmony, often mediating between Boruto and Naruto, whose responsibilities as Hokage create tension at home.
Unlike in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, Hinata has limited action scenes in Boruto. However, she is still recognized as a formidable kunoichi, having inherited the powerful Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Despite stepping back from combat, she remains protective of her children and is ready to fight when necessary.
One of her significant moments in Boruto occurs when she and Himawari attempt to stop Naruto from being taken by Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki. Though she fights bravely, she is ultimately overpowered, showcasing her unwavering dedication to Naruto.
There are widespread fan speculations about Hinata’s potential death in the series, particularly due to the dark tone of the timeskip prologue, where Boruto is seen fighting Kawaki with Konoha in ruins. However, there is no official confirmation of her death in the manga or anime as of now.
In the manga’s latest events, Hinata and Naruto are sealed away by Kawaki, who wants to protect Naruto from future threats by keeping him isolated. This shocking twist leaves Boruto and Himawari without their parents, adding emotional weight to the story.
