Lmao. Neji became a fodder long before chakra avatars became a thing.When Kishi decided to give Naruto and Sasuke avatars with special chakra, makes 0 sense because Hamura also inherited Kaguya's chakra
Pretty much this right here.When Kishi felt that Naruto and Uchiha's were the only important characters in the series.
Shino even kind of alluded to it in storm 2. He said Naruto's on a whole other level and interfering would be unwise.It around the time Naruto attained Sage Mode that everyone else descended into an unrecoverable pit of weakness.
