Who could Neji beat any akatsuki members?

[Mellanoma]

[Zexion~]

Are you asking which Akatsuki members he can beat?

......Zetsu probably maybe Konan

 

[SumnNarutoRelated]

He easily got out of Kisames water prison, something kakashi couldn't even do. I wouldn't sleep on neji

 

[Umari Senju]

Hidan, maybe Konan if she doesn't have time to prep the field, and Sasori.

 

[chopstickchakra]

I know people will find this unpopular but probably Deidara, I don't see why Neji wouldn't be able to locate all of his micro bombs since they are infused with chakra.

Kakuzu maybe since he should be able to identify the multiple hearts unless they don't have chakra but I think they did since they granted him access to different natures and identifying that there were 5 hearts was the real key to beating Kakuzu.

Konan maybe unless she was prepped to fight Obito and Neji walked into that battlefield.

That's about all I can see. People may say Sasori because Sakura was in on his defeat but you need Chiyo with you to do that

 

[Made in Heaven]

Kakuzu: Overall bad match up. Kakuzu's hearts would get destroyed with one poke, threads are perfect for channeling Chakra to Kakuzu's body if he attempts to grab or strangle Neji, elemental attacks can be shielded and reflected by Rotation or simply avoided, the mask monsters are also hearts, so tey also get one-shotted. Assuming Kakuzu doesn't go all out from the start, like with Kakashi, Neji could easily destroy a good handful of his hearts before he decides to pull them out.

Konan: Rather featless from my memories outside of her prepared fight with Obito. She definitely loses.

Hidan: With intel, there shouldn't be much of an issue with Neji taking out Hidan. Neji can keep himself at a safe distance and would be able to easily avoid Hidan's scythe thanks to his Byakugan and based on his feats against Kidomaru. Wouldn't be impossible for him to intercept the scythe and get rid of it, leaving Hidan completly vulnerable. From there, it would be a simple matter of pumping his body full of Chakra until he explodes. I chakra point being closed would mean no Curse technique, and Neji's speed is on par with Lee's so he's not getting blitzed by Hidan at all.

Deidara: Restricting C0, Neji could easily disarm his bombs by injecting them with chakra in place of using Lightening to difuse them. All of the insight we saw Sasuke display against Deidara would be available to Neji as well, to a much better degree in fact. Only real issue with Neji is that he can't reach Deidara if he flies, so unless he can jump that high, he probably loses simply because he won't be able to touch Deidara. If he can jump high enough to reach Deidara, then he beats him.

Sasori: Chakra strings would easily be destroyed by Gentle Fist, so he can render his opponents useless. He can also use the strings to channel Chakra to Sasori's heart. Puppeteers are also said to be horrible in CQC, and with Neji's speed that rivals weightless Lee's, he can easily close the gap between them and destroy Sasori close up. As for Hiruko, with the amount of force his Rotation displayed in the war, it's possible it could be damaged and destroyed with it. Posion needles and iron sand could also be repelled in this manner.

Hidan, maybe Konan if she doesn't have time to prep the field, and Sasori.

How would he manage to defeat Hidan though? Neji can't trap him like Shika did.

 

[SolarSpider]

None... He wasn't even Kage level. The Hyuga are pretty weak, with no real powerful abilities. The strongest Hyuga, is weaker, than the weakest Akatsuki.

I was on the fence about Kakuzu. While Neji could Identify the 5 hearts it was no easy task to actually slay them as we saw with Kakashi. It becomes battle of attrition where Kakuzu is concerned.

I put Sasori not because Sakura could beat him but because Heavy Rotation could repell all those poison needles.and as long as he is equipped with an antidote of Sakura's he could pull it off. Especially once he severes the chakra strings. It's akin to his fight with Kidomaru x100(no pun intended)

Without the antidote though his chances drop drastically.

What's wrong, bothered someone doesn't like Deidara or was it one of the other characters?

As long as he gets off a 64 trigram before blood is shed he would negate Hidan's special ability Which requires chakra does it not?

No chakra no Ritual.

I was figuring these were to be just him so I wasn't taking any antidote by Sakura into account. With an antidote then maybe, I think Sasori still had gas attacks didn't he? Plus that's one issue but his 100 puppets and the Kazekage would still be tough I think for a cqc fighter like Neji.

I don't think so, I think all it needs is blood. I don't recall any mention of it actually being a jutsu. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

There is no evidence provided to believe Neji could see Kakuzu's hearts, as Kakashi's Sharingan was unable too.

Neji cannot beat any of the Akatsuki; Zetsu's performance in the war-arc solidifies his win, Konan > Neji, he can't even touch her, Gentle Fist will have no effect on Hidan clearly, so Hidan merely needs charge, and endure, acquire blood, and then kill.

I have no idea where this Hyuga hype is coming from, but it needs to stop.

While I completely agree with you that he can't win, didn't Hinata see Naruto's arm was dislocated with her Byakugan?

True. It wouldn't be an easy fight. But Sakura faired well enough in cqc and Neji is a better cq combatant then Sakura. Air palm would be a god counter for the gas and Heavenly Rotation for the needles. The Kazekage puppet...can't remeber if that one was laced with poison but Sakura more or less did that one on her own with minimal help for Chyo, so I'd say Neji would fair about the same without chyo's assistance. The hundred puppets though...yeah that would be a real disadvantage and could cost Neji the fight.

But i figure with his Byakugan he would locate the source of Sasori's chakra (that thing in his chest) so long as he can remove it before the 100 puppets he stands a chance. If not then I'd give this fight to Sasori

 

[ToshiZO]

I don't think so, I think all it needs is blood. I don't recall any mention of it actually being a jutsu. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Doesn't matter either way, Neji has no feasible way to even threaten Hidan so he loses by default. Neji's offense = Hidan's pleasure he targets his internals for a living.

@OP

Ignoring Zetsu. Maybe Konan? Not too sure tbh.

Hidan by default is a no.
Deidara goes aerial so no
Kakuzu seems like he can get some of his arsenal countered, but Neji stands no chance he gets overwhelmed by the sheer size and number of attacks coming at him.
Sasori is a no, he'll probably get poisoned sooner or later.

Don't know why I'm seeing all these names here, hyuga fans?

Sharingan doesn't detect chakra like the Byakugan does and each of his hearts is in charge of a different chakra nature so they should have chakra flowing to them allowing their location and existence to be identified by a Byakugan user.

I never said he could beat Hidan, I agree with you that he wouldn't have a way to beat Hidan. Konan's only possible victory is with her prep time based on her prep for Obito but she knew Obito she doesn't know Neji and can't really prep for him like she did Obito. So unless Neji walked into her trap for Obito he has a fair chance as she has nothing that impressive to her credit.

Neji was killing Zetsu's left and right how does that solidify his win?

 

[DrProof]

Yeah, the Byakugan has better insight than the Sharingan, but here's the thing, the Sharingan can see chakra, and Kakashi was still unable to see through Kakuzu's mask, only being able to determine the nature of his jutsu by the sign Kakuzu made. If the Sharingan couldn't even rely on its chakra distinguishing ability, the Byakugan would remain ineffective as well. No evidence is provided to say otherwise.
