Don't mind the Itachi. It's mearly a demo that I just didn't feel like editing atm. But, the Hub itself and the picture is my general idea.

HUD. As in, Heads-Up-Display. Not hub, which acts as a central database.

I think the transition of shades is pretty poor, unless you did that on purpose. I also recommend not to random-dither, and maybe add a 10% transparent pattern over the bars but not the container that holds the bars. Like Hearts for Health, small Fire Balls for Chakra, and those Kunai things over the container. Maybe even give the container and bars some depth with a light-shade color for the edge in the top-left of the bars to the bottom-right on the upper part, and a darker shade from the top-left to the bottom-right on the lower part.

The "central" idea was to make it have a 2D Fighter like lets say, Mortal Combat meets the Chracters and Artwork of Naruto.

Basically the graphics and the idea of the mock up would be like Naruto, but also work as if your watching a Mortal Combat fight..understand? Which is the reason my HUD looks so plain. To be honest, I'd be cliche if I were to give it scrolls, and kunai's or flames etc.. which is what I tried to avoid. I mean just because its Naruto oriented does it -need- that type of design? Trying to be unique with the whole thing.

Exactly, see how basic it is.

Its just a bar with a few extra shades.

Yeah, its minimalistic, but neat. The border is thin, the main part here is bar itself. In your piece, background of bar (that gray hub) have no role here, it just is, nor doing the piece more interesting, or nicer. Im just saying, if you wanted to do simple bar, 50% of your one is just needless :)

So what do you suppose I do to it? maybe a small edit on how you'd see it?
