Yea, i feel kishi trolled Neji in part 2. He made him look fodder when hes on par with hebi sasuke [as you stated].Or part 2, that could've been Neji's legit fight.. I honestly think Neji is on par with Hebi Sasuke. (Seeing as Neji didn't get a part 2 fight, and Naruto only won the part 1 fight because of plot.)
Oh well :Omg:
