I thought Hinata rocked this chapter. But it just makes me annoyed then, that she is so easily dispatched. I would be okay with her sacrificing herself as a way to inspire Naruto to rage (since losing anyone he cares about is likely to do that, especially when they're hurt right before his eyes), but it's just so lame that male characters like Konohamaru live against the odds while much stronger ninjas like Hinata, who are female, die or are quickly beaten so the boys can shine. BLEGH.

Still, good for Hinata.
