She acknowledged him and didn't say anything so it doesn't count.

Iruka at least said in Naruto's presence that he considered him a good ninja, Hinata just stalked him and still couldn't open her mouth to say it until after her whooping by Neji.

Sakura and Sasuke are his friends both have acknowledged him and see him as their friend.

Hinata may love Naruto but in the big picture she really hasn't done much of anything but stalk.

I'd much rather see Hinata get dropped than Neji.

If she shows up again and does something then maybe i'll reconsider.
