Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven

A secret taijutsu that is orally handed down only within the main house of the Hyūga, this technique utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from all the chakra points on the user's body. It is also a defensive maneuver to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks any possible attack on the user. After releasing chakra from every tenketsu in their body, the user then spins rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a rotating shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any nearby attackers. The user can also actively control the size and power of the sphere to suit the situation. This technique is only effective when rotating, since the chakra itself is not enough to stop a physical attack thus if they cannot spin, the user becomes vulnerable.

Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms

It is a dangerous technique that is appropriately handed down from father to only a single child within the Hyūga clan. It is a maneuver of the Gentle Fist fighting style. With the Byakugan's near 360° field of vision, the user envisions an Eight Trigrams circle. Then the enemy within this circle is hit with a series of violent blows. By striking sixty-four of the tenketsu throughout the opponent's Chakra Pathway System, their chakra flow is stopped, making them unable to even stand.

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm

This technique is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, the user precisely pinpoints the enemy's vital points with the Byakugan and releases a high-speed palm thrust. A "vacuum shell" compressed using the Gentle Fist is formed to attack the opponent's vitals from a distance, blowing them off their feet with tremendous force before they even notice they were hit.

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm

This technique is a variation of the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm where either two Gentle Fist users, or a single person using both hands, send a powerful wave of chakra from either palm simultaneously with great force towards an opponent.

Gentle Fist

The Gentle Fist is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Hyūga clan. It inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System, subsequently injuring organs which are closely intertwined with the area of the network which has been struck. To do this, the user surgically injects a certain amount of their own chakra into the opponent's chakra pathway system, causing damage to surrounding organs due to their proximity to the chakra circulatory system. Even the slightest tap can cause severe internal damage, hence the name "gentle" fist.

Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body

A technique born from their innate ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu on their body, a member of the Hyūga clan can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user.

Overall Statistics

Taijutsu

As a member of the Hyūga clan, Neji specialized in close-range taijutsu combat. In battle, Neji has shown tremendous agility and dexterity, capable of simultaneously dodging and striking an opponent with no wasted movement. His attacks are fast and fluid, precisely striking in rapid succession to leave very little time for his opponent to find an opening to counter.

Intelligence

Even though rated low in the databook, Neji has shown very high levels of intelligence throughout the series being able to figure out enemies jutsus with ease and detecting various traps and surprises. This is seen when Neji was able to generate chakra back to Kidomaru by a thin web which killed Kidomaru. Neji was also praised as a tactical genius by many other ninja.

Speed

Being a member of the Hyūga clan, Neji was granted great agility and quick food and hand speed. Neji shows this by being able to perform 8 Trigrams Sixety-Four Palms which requires fast foot and hand speed. Neji has also shown

Strength

Neji's overall strength is a little higher than the average shinobi. When it comes to strength, Neji can easily break through a tree by using Gentle Fist or 8 Trigrams Sixety-Four Palms. Instead of using brute strength, Neji combines it with his taijutsu and agility which makes an unstoppable combo: Gentle Fist.

Stamina and Endurance

In terms of stamina and endurance, Neji has been able to easily keep up with fast shinobi like Kidomaru. He has also been able to tank several strong attacks which can easily kill a shinobi like Kidomaru's spears for example.

Genjutsu

Neji has shown no genjutsu feats or jutsus whatsoever.

Hand Seals

Neji has shown very little hand seal usage because the majority of his jutsus don't require them. He can perform hand seals at an average rate.

There's no way he's a 4.5 in speed. That's the same as Hebi Sasuke and Kakashi.

Is that his 3rd DB score? That's nuts.

I combined his foot and hand speed with his speed. This was also the score the databook gave him.
