The Sad Story of Neji

[Sasuke's Goddess]

I just had to comment on this thread, usually I just lurk but you guys are forgetting a major point.

The only way to remove the curse is death, then after the curse seals up along with the secret of the Byuakugan(sp?). So the only way Neji can escape his destiny is death. But that is part of his destiny so all in all, he will be bound to his destiny forever. He may work hard and surpass the main family but he'll still have the curse and he'll have it his whole life. No matter how hard he works, Neji can never free himself from his cage.

1. Neji didn't see his father die right in front of him, he saw the cursed seal used in front of him.

2. The reason he doesn't talk like that ot Gaara or Sasuke because their clans make them that powerful, i.e. birth strength.

3. He learned the Kaiten by himself(thought of it himself) and it just happened to be a move already that only the main family knew.

4. Him being stronger than the Hinata should contradict himself isn't true. If being stronger means you can defeat the person than Hinata wins because her father can/has taught her how to use the curse seal against Neji or any other Branch family member to kill them.

5. Damn, I love Naruto!

But doesn't Orochimaru say something like "You didn't have that eye before" ?

But then again he might have realized he had Sharingan later on and activated it somehow.... and now he can't turn it off

I suppose it comes down to whether or not Kakashi seems like the kinda guy who would rip out his eye and replace it with he eye of a fellow dead Konoha Shinobi. I don't think he would do that... nnnnooooooooo not kakashi..........!

I dont like Neji right now cuz his an ass. But its quite understandble why he is one. As for Hinata being a leader of the Hyuga . That aint gonna happen since an even bigger asshole aka Hiashi aka her father would rather have her dead so the Hinabi would be the succesor. Heck I wouldnt be suprised if he would rather have Neji as his child than Hanabi and Hinata.

You know whats funny if Nejis dad never died he would have been happy. As you can see in the episode Neji was actually happy and he was gladly taking the faith that had befallen him... well until that incident happen. Neji would also have been Hinatas best friend and kinda like a big brother.

True... partly. I think Neji would have been better if his dad was alive but you could see him develop his anger when his father's curse seal was used to torture him. So I guess he would have been still a kinda screwed over that.

Here's part of the problem that you guys are missing -

Remember During Hinata's fight against Neji in the prelims - Her teacher had a brief flashback to when she removed Hinata from the Hyuuga household.

Hiashi was seemingly glad to see Hinata go - he was focused on training Hinabi.

Hinata is in danger of being made a member of the branch Family apparently - that is part of why Neji is so angry at her - Nominally he was sealed to protect her - and now it looks like that is going to be for nothing.
