Actually , Neji's death makes sense .

[iKaras]

Most of you say that Neji's death was poorly written . :|

But , take a look =D

Naruto was the one who saved him from the "darkness" of the fate .
Neji would do anything to protect Hinata ( that was protecting Naruto )
Neji owes Naruto a lot .

Basically , Neji didn't die in vain , and for a couple . He did die for Naruto's and Hinata's new development . The moment that Neji died , Obito was already TNJ'ing Naruto , but Hinata slapped him .

It isn't the best death , but it isn't the worst :|

Okay....here we go~

First,...The "way" he died is totally fine.

-A sharp piece of wood pierced his body and blah blah blah he's dead. Fine okay.

Second, if you're talking about how Naurto friend zoned Hinata (Again LOL) then nope, Nothing "developed" at all. Trust me on this.

-Naruto x Hinata has become the manifestation of friendzoning in manga/anime.

Third, To throw salt on the wound, "Tsunade"...and ill leave it at that.

Neji's death sadly had little little impact. You could of put Chojuro in that position and not much will change.

His death makes sense?

It contradicts the ENTIRE premise of what Part 1 Naruto was majorly based on.

He didn't get a choice in making his own destiny, he died protecting the Main branch and Child of Prophecy.

His death was garbage.

Actually Neji's Dad chose his own destiny, he CHOSE to die for his brother (despite his abusive nature, Hinata's dad never approved of the switch plan) .... he CHOSE to walk to death's door with his head held high, he wasnt dragged there ... and sometimes it makes all the difference.

He died for a pairing according to his fate which he was trying to avoid.

İn flashbacks at part 1; Neji's father was saying him "live on"; then he get to die for a sorry excuese of a human called Hinata who happens to be a main family member? What is this author trying to say; "you can't escape the destiny"?
And he cultivated his own free Will after his battle with Naruto; he basicly became the puppy dog of main family which he had every right to be pissed off.

@bold: U seems to want neji to act differently than he did and yet blame Hinata for not mourning him 'enough' even when Neji once beat her to an inch of her death.

As for avoiding destiny just read the above answer ... and then perhaps read Harry Potter which acts on similar theme with a greater amount of explanation.

No, Neji death was the most random and the worst written in Naruto
