"Father, I finally understand your feelings… The freedom you felt when you chose to die to protect your friends…"
Summary[]
Neji Hyuga is a skilled ninja and member of the Hyuga clan, Neji is initially introduced as a rival to the series' protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. As a member of the clan's Branch House, Neji's early story is marked by bitterness and resentment towards the Main House, particularly his cousin Hinata Hyuga. Possessing the Byakugan, a powerful ocular ability unique to the Hyuga clan, Neji is an exceptional fighter with the ability to see chakra points and an opponent's chakra network. He specializes in the Gentle Fist style, which allows him to strike these chakra points and disrupt an enemy's chakra flow. Neji's prodigious talent and mastery of the Hyuga clan techniques make him one of the strongest members of the Konoha 11, the group of young ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village. Over the course of the series, Neji undergoes significant character development. Inspired by Naruto's unwavering determination and belief in changing one's destiny, Neji gradually overcomes his resentment and forges stronger bonds with his friends and family. He becomes a respected and valued member of Team Guy, alongside Rock Lee and Tenten, under the guidance of their mentor, Might Guy.
