In the anime, growing up as a relative to the Fourth Kazekage and Gaara, Temari had a hard time making friends as everyone was always intimidated by her lineage. One boy, however, Daimaru, would spend much time around her, albeit always to play pranks on her. She also used to play with Sen and Yome when they were little girls.
In the anime, the Sound Four were originally prisoners of Orochimaru, forced to fight other prisoners to the death in battle royales. By surviving their respective matches, they proved themselves to be the strongest of Orochimaru's prisoners and as such were made his bodyguards. The Sound Four were at some point forced to accept Kimimaro as their leader, who easily defeated them all in battle and, because of his Shikotsumyaku abilities, was slated to be Orochimaru's next host body. Under Kimimaro their group was known as the Sound Five.
In the anime, the Sound Five assisted
Orochimaru with assassinating the Fourth Kazekage and killing Shiore's
team during the Chunin Exams in Konohagakure. Kimimaro fell terminally
ill after this, forcing him to withdraw from the group; he became ill at
some unspecified time in the manga.
Kin Tsuchi was a
kunoichi from Otogakure and a member of Team Dosu which took part in the
Chunin Exams under orders from Orochimaru to test Sasuke Uchiha's
skills.
Like many children, Kin Tsuchi was recruited into
Orochimaru's organization as a kunoichi of the hidden sound village. She
met Dosu Kinuta and Zaku Abumi. Along with her teammates, she went to
participate in the chuunin exams. In the second portion of the exam, the
forest of death, her team encountered Team 7 after Orochimaru fought
Naruto and Sasuke and gave Sasuke the cursed mark. Their team was after
Sasuke. Sakura tried to defend Sasuke and Kin attacked Sakura by
grabbing her hair. Sakura broke loose by cutting off her hair. At the
same time, other leaf ninjas joined to defend Sakura against them. Ino
managed to immobilize Kin with her mind-body-switch jutsu. Sasuke wakes
up after recovering from his injuries with his cursed seal of heaven
activated. Kin witnessed Sasuke brutally defeating her teammate Zaku.
Kin along with her teammates retreated.
After passing the second portion of the exam, they advanced to the third portion, the preliminaries. In the sixth round of the preliminaries, Kin faced off against Shikamaru. During the battle, she had the upper hand by messing with Shikamaru's hearing. However, Shikamaru was able to bind her with his shadow jutsu and bend over. As she bent over, she knocked her head against the wall knocking her unconscious.
By the time of the final rounds of the chuunin exams, Kin and Zaku were used as sacrifices by Orochimaru for his Impure World Resurrection technique to revive Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Hinata is the oldest daughter of Hiashi Hyuga. When she was still a child, Hinata was almost kidnapped by the-then Head Ninja of Kumogakure, who was visiting Konoha under the guise of signing a peace treaty between their two villages. Hiashi killed him and saved Hinata, setting in motion the events that would become known as the "Hyuga Affair."
Because Hiashi was the
head of the Hyūga clan, Hinata was raised to be its heiress and her
family expected great things from her. But even at a young age, her
father came to believe that Hinata was not suited for the role of
heiress, as she struggled under his gruesome training regime, on top of
him also believing that her timid personality prevented her from truly
excelling. When Hinata's younger sister Hanabi started displaying
superior talent, Hiashi began to reconsider Hinata's selection as
heiress. In the anime, Hinata and Hanabi were pitted against each other
to determine who would one day lead the Hyūga. Because Hinata was
unwilling to harm Hanabi - a hesitation Hanabi did not share - she was
defeated, disappointing her father. Hinata was then disinherited and
turned over to the care of Kurenai Yuhi.
On
the day of her enrolment in Konoha's Acaddemy, Hinata was picked on by
three bullies because of her unusual eyes. Naruto, despite not knowing
her, immediately came to her defence, but he was outnumbered and knocked
unconscious, and the bullies damaged the red scarf he was wearing. When
he regained consciousness, Hinata thanked him for helping her and
returned his scarf to him, but he let her keep it. Hinata started
watching Naruto from that point onwards, and by doing so saw Naruto's
desire to gain attention and his struggle to exceed the extremely low
expectations others had for him. Despite this, Naruto never lost faith
in himself or his dream to become the Hokage. Hinata was inspired by
this and started emulating Naruto, adopting his refusal to never give up
as a means of earning her father's approval. In the anime, Hinata's
growing affections for Naruto were noticed by the Hyūga's elders, who
warned her to stay away from him.
As a child, Hinata was soft-spoken and polite, always addressing people with proper honourifics. She is kind, always thinking of others more than for herself, caring for their feelings and well-being. She doesn't like being confrontational for any reason. This led to her being meek or timid to others, as her overwhelming kindness can render her unable to respond or act for fear of offending somebody. Her father's constant push to alter this personality trait when she was younger only made it worse, eroding Hinata's self-confidence and making her even more bashful because she gained so little faith in herself and opinions. Despite being disinherited, Hinata loves her family very much, as shown when she "agreed" to marry Toneri in order to rescue Hanabi even though she knew it meant breaking Naruto's heart and the possibility she and Toneri actually would get married.
Hinata's outlook sees a shift after
her appointment to Team 8. Whereas her father and much of the Hyūga clan
had decided she was a lost cause who would never amount to anything,
her team considers her a valuable member with her special strong points.
Originally, she would over-rely on her teammates, looking to them in
times of difficulty to save her from situations that make her
uncomfortable. It is for her teammates - among other reasons - that
Hinata starts seeking to change herself, as she wishes to help the team
rather than burden it.
Hinata's primary motivation is Naruto
Uzumaki, with whom she has been fascinated since meeting him. He
initially gained her attention because of his kindness to her and
outspoken nature, and then kept her attention because of similarities
that Hinata perceived to herself: Naruto had a painful childhood without
the love of parents, a fate worse than the mere difficulty she had with
her own father, and he craves the attention and acknowledgement of
anybody, just as Hinata wants to please her father. But whereas Hinata
lost faith in herself, Naruto always believed he can accomplish any
given task if he tries hard enough. She admires him deeply for this
courage and over time fell deeply in love with him, which manifests as
increased shyness and speechlessness when around him, something that
became apparent to everyone, apart from ironically Naruto himself.
Hinata strives to prove herself to others, but mostly to gain the
attention and worthiness of Naruto. She emulates him to this purpose,
adopting his nindo of never giving up to improve herself. To that end,
she stops running from confrontation, instead doing all that she can to
face it, even in the face of failure to keep trying, and willing to risk
her life for her loved ones and village. By the end of Part I, her
clan's faith in her is restored and strengthened.
Throughout the years, Naruto remains her primary motivation; she willingly faced Pain to protect Naruto, despite knowing she has no chance of winning. She even defends Naruto from himself when he's in doubt, repeating to him his refusal to never give up. Two years after the war, upon achieving her greatest dream of having her love reciprocated by Naruto to form a deep and committed relationship together, she became more expressive about her feelings. In the anime, she is able to laugh openly because of it. After marrying Naruto and he becomes Hokage, Hinata remains supportive of him and his increased responsibilities, even though she yearns for him to be home more often. As a mother and wife, she has become a master homemaker, keeping the family well-structured yet well-adjusted and happy. While very loving and supportive of her family, she is equally strict and assertive. Her newfound structured nature made her very intimidating and more easily angered when her family acts up, easily keeping them in line and swiftly punishing them for their misconduct. She is also insightful and wise with her words, realising that her children, particularly Boruto, take after Naruto in the desire to prove themselves to others and that she must believe in them to do things on their own.
