How would he manage to defeat Hidan though? Neji can't trap him like Shika did.Hidan, maybe Konan if she doesn't have time to prep the field, and Sasori.
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.
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 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.

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
What's wrong, bothered someone doesn't like Deidara or was it one of the other characters?You must be registered for see images
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?How would he manage to defeat Hidan though? Neji can't trap him like Shika did.
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 was on the fence about Kakuzu.

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

While I completely agree with you that he can't win, didn't Hinata see Naruto's arm was dislocated with her Byakugan?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.
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.I was figuring these were to be just him so I wasn't taking any antidote by Sakura into account.

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

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