Well, give me a moment here.
Sasori's Iron sand and 100 puppets are far too much for Neji to take. Plus all it takes is a scratch and Neji is down.
Deidara is the worst possible match up for any melee fighter. Stay out of his range and bomb him, Neji has nothing that could trump Deidara's arsenal.
Hidan may be the only member Neji could beat due to speed and taijutsu skill but it all depends on whether Hidan can strike his ritual if not Neji wins. If Hidan goes ritual mode, game is over for Neji.
Kakuzu has too much fire power and 4 hearts. It took Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru and Choji to beat him. Neji alone doesn't even get close.
A heavily nerfed version of Kisame rekt Neji's whole team so a full-blown Kisame would murder him. I don't even have to explain Itachi...
We haven't seen much of Konan but what we did see was if given prep time she can kill any opponet 1 on 1 and given her ability to scatter her body and fly, things don't look good for Neji.
Pain is an obvious one and Obito stomps him in an instant.
In conclusion, the only akatsuki member Neji stands a chance against is Hidan but even this is sketchy in my opinion.
Edit: Oh yea, forgot to add Zetsu. Considering what BZ did to Madara and how much Intel the guy has, I don't think he'd lose to Neji. Could be wrong tho, the guy is pretty much featless.

I think that he might have a chance against Sasori though. his Rotation level is on par with Hiashi's which is this massive
so he should have no problem with the hundred puppets, adding to the fact that he can easily cut the chakra thread with Jyuken. or he can just channel Jyuken into the chakra thread just like he did with Kidomaru here and it is GG
but I am not really sure, he can either win high def or loses

LOL hidan is immortal meaning gentle fist won't harm him
Also based on feats Hidan CQC is one of the best in this series.
He sparred with kakashi + Team 5
He sparred with Shikimaru + Asuma (Barely touched)
his cqc feats are incredible
Neji has no counter for Iron sand or 100 puppets.
Even if neji counters with rotation how can he move?
the ONLY advantage I think neji could have had was cutting chakra strings but based on feats Sasori is able to reconnect from a distance

Based on feats shown.
Hidan was keeping up with Kakashi, and from my recollection blitzed him with his Sharingan active once. Is Neji on par with Kakashi in the speed department? Hell no, and no such feats of Neji's speed round him faster, or on par with Kakashi.
Yeah, Hidan fights CQC, but Gentle Fist won't have effect that's the thing. Hidan had his head cut off, and was still able to talk, Hidan was able to manipulate chakra (to perform his ritual) after getting his head severed, despite the severing of the chakra network (chakra pathways go through the head, and neck area). With this realization, Gentle Fist isn't doing anything here. Hidan outlasts Neji, while Neji continuous to waste chakra trying to put down the immortal, that, or Hidan's immortality gets the slip on Neji, and when Neji thinks 64 palms will do the job, Hidan uses his sporadic Taijutsu to deal a fatal blow to Neji before he can react.
Please no fanfic like the speculation squad.
I don't think he can sustain the rotation for long enough to fend off all of the fire power Sasori has. Remember all the elemental blasts, amount of hidden weapons, number of puppets at the same time and Iron Sand to top it off... I highly doubt rotation could fend all that off. I'm with you on the cutting threads deal. While he could certainly cut the threads, Sasori can simply reattach them as we've seen him do so I don't think that would count as a one shot to the puppet. Again, Sasori wins with numbers so even dispatching few puppets wouldn't do much against a hailstorm of attacks.
As for channeling juuken that wouldn't work because in the Kidomaru fight, Neji was chanelling his chakra through the spider web of Kidomaru. In contrast to that, Sasori doesn't use a medium, he uses actual chakra. You can't channel chakra through chakra (atleast not in a way we've seen) since chakra isn't a medium. People shouldn't underestimate Sasori just because Sakura helped defeat him. (Not saying you're doing that.)
Being immortal doesn't really prevent him from being immobilized, knocked out etc. If Neji were to somehow break his body it would still be a win even if Hidan is still alive. (Plus he'll die eventually if he stops bringing sacrifices so...)
Hm, you're right I did overlook his performance against Kakashi. Then again, I watched that fight in the anime so I'm not sure how much of those acrobatics (the fight was extended) was really in the manga. It certainly makes me doubt Neji's victory.

Feat of him attacking and dodging at the same time. Asuma in my opinion was one of the better CQC fighters in the series and Hidan literally danced around him
I don't know if his Rotation is going to get overwhelmed, I mean just look at the size of this shit

and I can't really see why he wouldn't be able to channel Jyuken into the chakra threads. Kidomaru's chakra was flowing inside these webs[

] meaning that Jyuken was channeled through Chakra.and I am not underestimating Sasori but Neji is the one who is underestimated here

Well, I'm going to say it will be overwhelmed because we know there's a limit to how long he can spin it and we know that Sasori can pull of long continuous attacks. Also, I'm not sure if his rotation really is as big as Hiashi's. Feel free to remind me where he pulled a rotation that big off.
The reason he can't channel chakra is because he needs a medium to do it. You can't use raw chakra as a medium for something. To transfer energy you can't use that same energy. You need something to contain it. (I've been to electrotechnic school so this is kinda obvious to me lol)
And no, Kidomaru's webs were material medium mixed with chakra, connected to his body. It was an actual sticky, elastic spider web. Not raw chakra. What happened there was 2 chakra streams using the same medium in a different way. Not one chakra stream using another chakra stream as a medium.

Lol hell no. Deidara pushed sasuke who is arguably sannin low kage lvl. Neji is fodder even against 30% powered fake kisame

The only reason why he pushed Sasuke because Tobi was there. Sasuke would blitz him in the start , instead he blitzed Tobi.
He's immortal and he maintained his ritual jutsu while his head was cut off. Meaning gentle fist will do nothing to him

EVEN IF Gentle fist could prevent him from using his ritual jutsu (Which it wont based on feats) hidan would still beat Neji in CQC as that scythe would wreck him
