Good Morning Naruto Base, how is everyone doing?

Hyuga Neji is my favorite character in Naruto, why?

Well I'll tell you haha

He started out a totally douche bag in part 1 of the series and was not able to listen to reason or other people's point of view, just like Sasuke!(who is just starting to listen to reason) So then I was thinking to myself, wow here it is another tortured soul who use's his natural talent and skills to belittle and keep others as terrible as he felt. However, Then from a fight with Naruto he decided that all his beliefs were wrong and was finally open to listening to others and understanding what Hinata is going through. This showed me that he was willing to admit that he was wrong and own his mistakes and do his best to rectify them.

Right after his fight with Naruto he also learned not to take his opponents for granted and that not all outcomes are decided from the very start. This was evident when he fought kidomaru and didn't underestimate his opponent, he knew that kidomaru should not be taken lightly.

His Intelligence and analytical skills are absolutely amazing, they are not at Itachi or Minato's level of course, but i think given the chance to get to there age, he would of been close to there skill if not right on par with them. (I am not saying Neji is at there level). He is another one that can calmly address a situation and react with lighting fast reflexes. He is also a natural genius who saw the potential of his Byakugan and decided to expand upon it and learn the clan secrets by himself, because he was not privy to the clan secrets, because he is considered part of the branch family. Of course there is always room to improve. Not to mention because of the Byakugan it allowed him to control with mastery more then just one part of his body's chakra system at a time.

I won't say his Byakugan skills and abilities because there is plenty of threads on here about the Byakugan and its abilities. Not to mention on everyone will agree with me or others about its abilities.

I think his Taijutsu skills are also already well known and we don't need to talk about that to much haha he is probably one of the best taijutsu users in the Narutoverse.

I think its truly incredible that he took his shitty circumstances and proved to himself and his clan that he is not going to let his Disability (Symbol to suppress the Byakugan). He has also proved to Hiashi that he is capable if not more capable of learning even more of the clans secrets, when he can use Eight Trigams - air punch

I'll Finish up by saying that: Could Neji beat Sasuke/Itachi, most likely not, Could he beat Minato/Bee, most likely not! However, I know he would not give up without a fight and would give his opponent a damn good fight.

I do know that as we have seen when he gave his life to protect his cousin and his friend to protect the future of the world that he is an amazing person to give up his life for the good of the many and to finally realize that he was truly free to make up his own mind.

Part 1 - Neji is one of the strongest in the series.
Part 2 - Neji continuously gets outpowered by other characters.

He was perhaps one of the weakest Jounin in the series, only above Kurenai due to the Byakugan's ability to see through Genjutsu.

Part 2 did little to no justice to his part 1 self until now, If only Kishimoto gave him and the other Hyuugas more panel time..., another case of wasted potential in Naruto.

Very good thread, it was nice to read it all.

Part one powerful and full of potential part two not much show time and not much improvement... The best thing he did was help deflect the juubis move.

Neji was my faviorite in Part 1, but yeah part 2 he and the rest of the Hyuugas got no love from Kishi, which is a shame given the fact that Neji possesed one of the 3 doujutsu in the series. I love the Byakugan. I wanted to make a Hyuuga for my bio but i need a higher rank before I can do that.

Still Neji could have been boss. First of the Kanoha 12 to reach Jonin, last to recieve the love...Well there is Shino. He gets overlooked way too much, Lol

Nice non condencending, logical, and pleasent thread by the way.

Plus rep. these types of threads are far and few.

I think he improved a lot of the second part if he made it to jounin before any other k12! I do agree thought that he was hyped a lot in the first part and left in the background in the second part!

this is the way of an anime though haha

boy are u wrong he in fact was one of the most powerful jonin not all of konoha's 11 is jonin only him and shikamaru lee and etc are chuunin but your comparing him to the elite jonin like kakashi and guy who are kage level he is a top jonin and hasnt been challenged since his fight with kidomaru and he won and he was a kid and kidomaru was the strongest one of the sound four not including kimimaru

he wasnt hyped in the first part he obviously was the strongest and couldnt even be hit until naruto used ninetail's cloak because neji block his chakra if not for the ninetails neji would have easily beaten naruto like he did and even losing was one of the only 2 to be moved up at the time and later become jonin out of the konoha 11 and he just saved naruto and hinata's life jumping in front of the wood spikes again being pushed aside so the main character can succeed

Even through all of part 2, he was and still is one of my favorite characters!

Very excellent and honest thread! It's refreshing to see a fan who respects the character as they are and doesn't try to OP them in a way they never were.

I look at things as they are! not what I want them to be lol. Thanks a lot :D

I'm just sad, that if they do, do anything with the Hyuga anymore Neji won't be apart of it.

I try to do the same with Sakura. You're welcome! :)

That really upset me when I heard rumors about the Hyuga's gaining development. Now that he's dead, it will be truly sad if Kishimoto does that for Hiashi, Hinata and possibly Hanabi.

Hinata i don't mind, but It sucks they killed the "prodigy" of the Hyuga clan. There is a lot of weight on Hinata's shoulders now lol

good tread and Neji was awesome, not because his power levels, because of his characteristics and development. Kishi atleast must showed some battle scenes before his death, i am not interested in what Hinata would show us as much as i was interested in Neji (i can't just say "a Hyuuga is a Hyuuga"). Despite his genius, he was an underdog because he wasn't a main family's member, he had to overcome difficulties to learn their techniques and prove his worth, he deserved to be an heir. A guy like him should have better dreams than just "choosing the way he dies"(still died for a main family member...).

When he died protecting naruto and Hinata, he did on his own accord! he didn't do it because was bound by the curse seal, and his duty to the main branch. I get what your saying though!

i know he decided, but i just want some characters to change what is around them, not just their way of thinking, although it is important (changing by living and doing something of course).i hope this is what you got, this was what i meant.
