"Where would you be now, without me?" she challenged. "Without that mark's paltry simulacrum of my strength, without the summoning contract I allowed you to sign, without my blackest blood pumping strong through your veins… with your sickly, fragile human body, would a creature so unsightly and gentle have ever survived this long? No..."
I lowered my head for a moment. "Earning a place among beasts might have helped me learn to be strong… but I must disagree if you would claim that I owe everything to you, Houkou-sama. A beast will never be all that I am."
"Are you so sure? You would like to think you do not need me. But see how you cling to the vice of drink, to crippling extents, in times of anxiety and weakness, to blunt and erase the lingering sorrows and fears of a human… You're no good at dealing with things on your own, truly. You depend on me to free you from your inborn limitations… Hm?" she growled, as I shook my head.
"No. It's true that I'm small, and quiet, and soft. I'm just a kid. This strong body might be so robust thanks to you; even my nindou is owed to another."
She waited, watching as I took up a grin. I lifted my eyes again, certain of my words.
"But I was born Hyuuga Hinata, daughter of Hyuuga Hiashi and Hyuuga Hikari, as a human with a strong heart and pure spirit. My birth says that I was a human; my flaws are a sign that I am human; my pain keeps me human. That much is all my own, and will never change!"

Quote from Naruto fanfiction Journey of the Three Failures Chapter Twenty-Nine: As Beasts, Part Two: Wings of Night.
So, this happened How did I start this... Let's see... I think I realized the only art I'd done of the Fullmoon State was pretty dated and the design was bland, and started sketching something new... then I was like, what if I put a couple of forms... And "Oh! I've never drawn the Juuho Tengaken or Jigokugaken!" ...Well, yeah. Fun stuff.
Basically, Hinata has tons of forms in J3F and I ended up wanting to draw some key ones in one image. Was originally planning to include the Blood Seal Fifth Ring (with no tail or wolf ears, but the aura gained at the fourth ring takes wolf-cloak shape), but decided against it since that form doesn't show up too often. Neji takes the form briefly as he's using Storm of Heaven's Orchestra in chapter 27, but before that, I'm pretty sure it's not seen since possibly Chapter 19 (when Itachi immediately forces Hinata to cancel it) and its first use in Chapter 7 (again against Itachi). I was also considering drawing Hinata in her normal (half-demon) appearance, but I've already got a full color of that ( hinata0321.deviantart.com/art/… ), and it wouldn't add much here.

So, listed below in order of increasing... feral-ness? In terms of susceptibility to going berserk, reaction to the scent of blood, capability with distinguishing allies from foes, ability to smell fear, etc. So, shown here:
Human with the bow on the lower left. Activating Byakugan in one eye like a boss I drew her with the ponytail, so it'd have to be after the second timeskip (hence, well after she's become han'you). Maybe it's a new moon?
Youki Release with partial Kurogiba Possession, upper left. Only possible as a han'you. Using the taste of human blood as a catalyst, Hinata can let her youki/demonic energy surge to full-force, resulting in a form about as powerful as the Blood Seal Third Ring (but as the more natural state, this one's easier to control). When Hinata and her familiar Kurogiba are not only Soul Linked, but Kurogiba's soul inhabits Hinata's body (but without Hinata's use of Youkai Hou: Berserkergang), the two can use Kurotsumeken/Black Claw Fist taijutsu most effectively. Youki release produces an aura (not shown) and the random patterns on Hinata's skin. The only indications here of Kurogiba's possession (besides, perhaps, that sneer XD) are the fact that chakra's able to channel to Hinata's right arm due to Kurogiba supplying energy there, and the fact that Hinata's able to use Heaven's Fanged Fist (which requires purely human chakra) amid the Youki Release; I'd guess this is possible even without Kurogiba leaving her, as long as he draws in and focuses their youki away from the arm she's using Tengaken with. In color, her eyes would be red to reflect Kurogiba's possession. So Kurogiba's focusing their youki in the right arm for Juuho: Jigokugaken / Gentle Step: Hell's Fanged Fist, while Hinata's sending chakra to her left hand for Juuho: Tengaken / Gentle Step: Heaven's Fanged Fist.
Blood Seal (third ring), top right. The medial level of the five 'rings' of the first Blood Seal State, and due to inherent instability, the hardest level to maintain for a length of time. The Blood Seal appearance taken by her human (rather than han'you) form is shown, since Hinata rarely uses the lower Blood Seal levels after becoming han'you. If she were to use the curse as a han'you, though, her wolf ears and tail would remain.
Blood Seal CS2/Fullmoon State, howling at lower right. The form the cursed ones take to hunt on full moons. However, if used in combat an inexperienced user tends to berserk, and capitalize on enhanced regeneration speed to fight until victory or death.
Blood Seal CS3/Ultimate State, mid-left. For Hinata, the Blood Seal's ultimate power manifests as Behemoth Forme, giving her the werewolf appearance. Offers incredible power and regeneration speed, but difficult to control. Generally, her mind is so frenzied that Hinata loses the ability to speak.

Download for better detail! Sorry for the massive description, but I'm not sure if I'll get around to coloring this one.
