Yin Yang is a dual concept of Taoist belief, one that tells of how two opposing but interdependent forces exist in all things in the world, living or non-living.

In Naruto, the yin yang symbol, taijitu, may be seen on the divination field of the Hyuga Clan. This field is consisted of the bagua (eight trigrams) surrounding the yin yang symbol. The Clan's fighting style seemed to be based on baguazhang, literally eight trigram palm, one of the three Chinese 'internal' martial arts. The 64 strikes of jyuuken may have been based on the 64 hexagram-combination when both hands do palm changes. Contrary to the damage that may be caused by jyuuken, the baguazhang is considered a healing art and a good exercise of the joints, muscles and internal organs.

Yin is characterized by the following:
Female, deficient, passive, dark -- descriptions that fit Hinata
Season: Winter
Element: Water
Numbers: Even

Hinata:
Birth month: December
Season: Winter
Element: ?
Team 8 - 8 is specifically is a minor number of yin

Yang is characterized by the following:
Male, excessive, active, bright -- descriptions that fit Neji or Sasuke
Season: Summer
Element: Fire
Numbers: Odd

Neji and Sasuke:
Birth month: July
Season: Summer

Sasuke:
Element: Fire
Team 7 - besides being an odd number, 7 specifically is a minor number of yang.

There are also major numbers of yin yang: 6 is major yin and 9 is major yang.

Hinata was born on December 27 (12 27);
Sasuke was born on July (07 23).
The sum of these numbers is 69.

Itachi was born on June 9 (06 09). It is similar to 69, although not patterned as that of Hinata and Sasuke.

Mathematically, 69 is a special number (and it has nothing to do with anything sexual). This number is also very similar to the yin yang symbol - taijitu.

Hinata might be Yin, Sasuke might be Yang.

Uchiha and Yin Yang

The Hyuga Clan is easily associated to yin yang, whose symbol appears in the divination field.

The Uchiha Clan may also be related to the Taoist principle. The Sharingan is symbolized by the three tomoe (mitsu-domoe), which is considered a triple-way yin yang. The three tomoe represent earth (yin), heaven (yang) and humankind (third tomoe).

Ne, Ne, July_winter senpai I believe I've discovered something else!!!

Okay, where it says "She sets out for the Sun, it's golden light her beacon" I believe I know what it could mean!

In the Legend of Yin and Yang, Yin represented the Moon. Hinata looks like the Moon. Yang represented the Sun. Sasuke's consistant with Yang, ne?

What if Hinata was setting out for Sasuke who's the Sun, and as it is always said, Naruto is Sasuke's golden light of hope. Hinata admires Naruto, ne?

What if it translates to this: "Hinata sets out for Sasuke, Naruto her beacon."

Confusion and Clarification

This theory assumes the actual symbolisms of yin and yang; example, yin is dark while yang is light. However, this can be confusing because based on the cover of manga chapter 78, Hinata (postulated as yin) is light and Neji is dark (postulated as semi-yang).

This reversal of colors may possibly pertain to their mindset.

As light, Hinata was able to see through Neji's facade and has come to understand his emotional struggles against the Hyuga Main House.

As dark, Neji was (then) resentful of his unalterable fate, a belief that was proven wrong by Naruto who he later acknowledged as the one who saved him from the darkness; at that very same time Neji firmly believed that it will be Naruto who will save Sasuke from his own darkness*.

Sasuke as Yang through Rock Lee

During the Chuunin preliminaries, Gai compared the difference between Neji and Lee's taijutsu,

Neji : internal

Yin
Lee : external

Yang

Of all taijutsu Sasuke can imitate, it was a modified version of Lee's taijutsu that has become one of his own,

Hence, even in comparison of taijutsu,
Hinata : internal

Yin
Sasuke : external

Yang

* The Second Theory - Five Elements (http://nocturnaltravel.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=132) postulates that the Hyuga Clan are generally yin, but some members - such as Neji - may also be associated to yang in a more subtle way.

Uchiha and 7 ; Hyuga and 8

It was previously stated that the primary number for yang is 7 and the primary number of yin is 8. While both have been theoretically associated to Sasuke and Hinata, they may also be associated to the Uchiha and Hyuga clans as well.

Uchiha and 7 - The best kept secret of the Uchiha is the ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan to control the nine-tailed demon. This information was hidden in the Uchiha clan's secret meeting place, located at the Nakano shrine under the seventh tatami mat.

Hyuga and 8 - The Hyuga clan and it's members are well known for the use of eight divination signs, hakke (八卦), where hak is
synonymous to hachi (八), meaning eight.

* Coincidentally, Neji tested his blind spot on eight birds but sees only seven. Again, the Second Theory - Five Elements (http://nocturnaltravel.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=132) postulates that the Hyuga Clan are generally yin, but some members - such as Neji - may also be associated to yang (hence, number seven) in a more subtle way.

The Similarities of Sasuke and Hinata
It is notable, however, that yin and yang are not just opposites; they are complementary as well.

Sasuke and Hinata both:
1. - are of noble birth
2. - were born with a bloodline limit, specifically, eye techniques
3. - sought the acknowledgment of a parent

Moreover,
4. - protecting Naruto

Sasuke protected Naruto against Haku

Hinata protected Naruto against Pain

Both were also presumed dead in their respective fights. Sasuke survived, while Hinata’s outcome is still unknown.

In his anger, Naruto awakens the Nine-Tailed demon fox in him against Haku (Sasuke fight), and fully transforms into Six-Tails against Pain (Hinata fight).

5. - lion technique.

Sasuke developed his own Shishi Rendan (Lion’s Barrage).
Hinata performed a new jutsu named JuuHo: Soushiken, (Gentle Step: Double Lion Fist**)

**Rough translation courtesy of ChronoDragoon at NarutoFan forums.

Hence, it may be worth noting that like yin and yang, Sasuke and Hinata can be complementary opposites.

The Opposition of Sasuke and Hinata

1. - recent chapters showed some instances wherein the activation of Sasuke and Hinata’s respective bloodline limits looked odd.

In manga chapter 396, Sasuke initially activated his Mangekyou Sharingan using his left eye (from Itachi).

In manga chapter 437, Hinata was seen activating her Byakugan, starting with her right eye.

* Varied sources indicate left as yang and right as yin; some even vice versa.

2. - another seemingly opposing factor may be speculated from when both Sasuke and Hinata attempted to protect Naruto (please see previous post), and that is how they felt about him at those times.

One may be yin, one may be yang.
