I think Nejis childhood was far worse then Narutos.

Neji
1. Born into slavery.
2. Sole purpose in life was to protect the main house.
3. At any time he could be killed by the main house for any reason.
4. Had to watch his father be tortured, and had his father cruelly killed.
5. Had no one to offer love respect or training until he entered the ninja academy.
6. Has a seal that offers only tortured and death.

Naruto
1. Doesn’t have parents, and didn’t really know them to miss them.
2. Was made fun of, and ostracized because in the minds of many of the adults he himself is the demon fox.
3. His seal holds a demon fox that gives him unlimited amounts of chakra…. More of a good thing I guess…
4. Had no one to offer love respect or training until he entered the ninja academy.
