was neji right? To follow/support: Patreon - At 100 patrons, I'll finally make a Sasuke video: www.patreon.com/sagesrain Twitter: twitter.com/sagesrain Instagram: instagram.com/sagesrain/

When Neji fought kidomaru i cried as a child when it was unclear if he died or not after the fight. When he actually died in shippuden, adult me cried again. I love Neji and he definitely deserved more. Thank you for this video.

The whole curse seal is really wrong. Goes to show that the Leaf village had a lot of injustice going on. From genocide, to foreign conspiracies, to magical leashes and discrimination.

I mean. Honestly. Neji's reasoning is accurate to the world as we know it. The only people in the 1% have always been in the 1% generations down the line. We live in a world where truely talented people are not chosen over those already in positions of power. It's a naruto twist on the ventures of the world we live in. I love Neji's story because its my own, its the story of so many low class born children. No matter how talented, how successful, how much you try, the odds are immeasurably stacked against you. Even now, as someone who owns my own business, who clawed my way up, I'd never reach the heights of someone already born on the top of society.

"Neji Deserved Better" Sadly, you could say the same about many characters in Naruto.

We should've gotten a story on how the Hyūga Clan came to be.

Naruto was destined for greatness. So when neji said “you can’t change your destiny.” He wasn’t lying. He just thought Naruto was destined to be weak.

Do you want to know what's the most depressing part? According to Masashi Kishimoto (the creator of Naruto himself), the reason why he killed off Neji is to bring Naruto and Hinata closer. I didn't make things up, he literally admits that Neji dies as a cupid for NaruHina during his interview before the release of The Last movie.

Well in a sense certain characters are the living embodiment of what Neji was talking about. Reality can be a cruel thing and fate is something that’s inescapable the longer you live. Neji was one of the best written characters in Naruto cuz he didn’t sugarcoat things to make anyone feel better. He lived a life of shackles and familial diplomacy. No matter what path he chose he was always gonna die trying to protect Hinata which he succeeded in doing.

“He had nowhere else to go.” That was powerful.

I like the nuance in this video. It doesn't discount how fate shackled Neji while tearing down the misconception that it somehow makes Naruto a hypocrite. I wish Neji had gotten a more complete arc by Kishimoto. It's implied that things in the Hyuga clan got better but we don't really see it and Neji does die protecting Hinata even if it is of his own volition.

People keep shipping Neji and Tenten together, but I don't think that's the case. I don't think that Neji wanted his kids to have the same curse mark.

Someone said something simple about Neji's death, and it's everything there is to say. "A slave's freedom isn't dying for his master on but to not be a slave anymore." Neji had the worst luck in this series, being abandoned by the author for a momentary shock that ruined what his character stood for. He had every right to blame destiny if he really knew how he's going to die. Who am I kidding, he knew it all his life.

It's actually because of his complexity, strength and internal struggles that makes Neji one of my favorite characters in the franchise besides Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru and Kakashi. People also have to realize that true freedom is actually the hardest thing to maintain. Neji felt like he was in a cage, but one can argue a person is inside cages within cages. Society's rules and expectations are one, but the most significant is the internal one, the part of yourself that tells you you'll never be good enough for anything. In his song As You Are, Chris Daughtry says, "you build these walls to keep you safe, it's like a prison you can't escape, if you tear them down, you just might hear me say" and "you wage this war within yourself, wasting time dying in a shell, they don't define you, just know they never will". It's a beautiful song and one I highly recommend if you're feeling lost or alone, or even having an identity crisis.

I always felt neji had every right to feel how he felt and naruto attitude was dat of a child who didn't kno nothing bout how the real world works like how most kids wanna rush to grow up but soon realize adult life not all sunshine and rainbows

When Neji died, I heard someone said, "Kishimoto, you could've killed Tenten!" 😂

Imagine if Hinata's and Neji's dads switched roles. Then, Neji would be the son of the head and Hinata would still be a girl who likes Naruto.

When speaking of Naruto's mental fortitude, and not giving up on his friend like Hashirama did, I'd argue that the circumstances are different. Hashirama's fortitude was no less, or even greater than Naruto's. When told killing himself could end the war with the Uchiha, Hashirama didn't hesitate for even a second, and put a knife to his throat. Later on, he fought Madara because he was planning on destroying the village. Hashirama didn't fail to save his friend, he made a choice. There was no "Both" option. Naruto on the other hand, did not have to make the same hard choice. Sasuke's actual damage to the leaf village was minimal at best. One could argue he killed Danzo, but it's not like Naruto cared. Even Sasuke's plan at the end of the war wouldn't destroy the villages. What if Naruto had to make the same choice as Hashirama? The Konoha or his friend. What if it had been Sasuke who did all that damage instead of Pain? Killed Kakashi and all the other villagers? Still think he'd try and save Sasuke?

Of course Neji was right; he also was the strongest Hyuga member by far and should have been kage-level by the war arc and there is literally NOTHING on that battliefield that should have been able to penetrate his defenses. A 5 year old could see that his death was cheap, forced, unnatural and inconsistent with his previous feats of speed, visual insight and chakra control. Kishimoto himself admitted he only killed him to push Naruto and Hinata together. He was the ONLY member of the konoha 11 to be appointed to Jonin in the beginning of shippuden and he surpassed his entire clan, one of the strongest clans in the most powerful village, at the age of 13. He possessed unparelleled chakra control, THREE chakra natures, and his potential was easily the greatest out of all the main characters.

Hiashi (Hinata's Father) taking the hit instead of Neji would've make much more sense. That way, NaruHina ship will still sail and Neji would live and get a small/big arc for his character.

Honestly all team guy got done bad Rock Lee- him not being developed further was one of the worst decisions in the series especially since he was a fan favorite Ten Ten- essentially looked like a bada$$ and even admired Tsunade.. But essentially was trash tier in the series.. People get on Sakura but ten ten is really the bottom of all the females.. might Guy - Got denied a heroes death. I only read the Boruto manga but I'm sure nothing can happen with him that would be worth having saved him.. Nejj- as we know was ultimately right in regards to Naruto. I wished he would've been built up more before his death though..

We never got to see Neji fight Rock Lee. 😭

Neji “choosing” his death only shows that his kid self was right. Ultimately, Neji becoming jonin, him learning new skills, etc, didn’t matter as much as training Hinata, befriending Hinata, acting as Hinata’s shield in the war even before he died. He became the exact person his kid self said he would. He lost his identity to the main house. He fulfilled his destiny. He had the same nonchoice his father had. If it can be said that Hizashi would have been forced to throw his life away anyway, what would’ve happened to Neji if he hadn’t stepped in, or if he was somewhere else, not playing the role of her protector? If you can’t be 100% sure that Hiashi or another main branch member wouldn’t have punished him or killed him for not doing his duty, then it was a nonchoice.

R.I.P. NeJi he was such a really awesome character at the end of the day he died a hero respect to him

Dude, Neji was so right. Naruto was both hard working and lazy. He neglected his studies and some of his training, which has resulted in him nearly getting his ass killed several times over but he had the power of plot to save his life. Naruto had a difficult life, but I definitely would say he was equally blessed. There are too many aspects in Naruto's life to suggest he's not supported by fate. Yes, he may have stopped the cycle with him and Sasuke but it looks like it continues on with Boruto and Kawaki in some manner.

That moment right before he died when it showed that bird in the sky and he smiled, it was so beautiful and sad at the same time. There was no resentment in that moment, just peace. What a complex and wonderful character, it's a huge shame he was sidelined then disposed of without us getting to know him more. I'd like to watch a whole anime based on his life.

Naruto beat the sht out of neji telling him "There's no such a thing as destiny, we make our own destiny" and then proceeds to follow a prophecy that says he is the badass dude who is literally reincarnation of god while beating people with the megazord that was sealed into him all that with the help of his bloodline with unlimited chakra for the rest of the anime

Everyone else and they momma gets revived but my boi Neji’s death is the only certain one. He most definitely deserved better.

Neji was always one of my favorite characters since I was little and he will continue being that forever 💯 I'll never get over his death 😔

I felt bad for Neji when he saw Hiashi mentally torture Hizashi.

Filler neji is so dope. Filler neji is my favorite character in Naruto tbh

Neji is pointing out systemic issues of inequality and discrimination and the myth of meritocracy all while Naruto is covering his ears crying "Bootstrap! Bootstrap!"

Personally I feel that the theme of the show was that one cannot fight destiny. Naruto is an Uzumaki (a distant relative of the Senju and Otsutsuki) he was destined to be Hokage above his peers he was even given the power of a tailed beast

Neji wasn't a villain. He was a pessimist kid.

“Fate will only bond you, if you let it.” -Kratos

What annoys me is that neji had to learn everything by himself, and don't give me the "Gai trains him!" bullshit, Gai literally uses furious fist, wth can Gai do to train him with his actual abilities? And hinata should've at least showed neji some of the stuff she learned after all those year of neji trying to protect her despite their bad childhood, and even though it wasn't her fault, she really was privileged and was spoiled, stubborn and didn't even know about it because her kindness covered it up, like people like to pay attention to character's good sides instead of their bad sides.

Childhood is when you idolize Naruto, adulthood is when you realize Neji was right

*_The one I wanted to see grow... I wanted to experience his potential so badly.._*

I like stories like Neji, shonen is not all about fun and good guy wins attitude, there is sorrow and sadness

Naruto was destined for greatness. To have the strongest tailed beast sealed inside him, to be a descendant of the Uzumaki clan and the reincarnation of Ashura, he had to be the child of prophecy. He had a difficult life and was lazy initially but you cannot say that he was not meant to be the strongest shinobi. He always was and that was his destiny. Neji was bound by the shackles of fate and that was his greatest tragedy. His life ended exactly the way he said it would. Naruto vs Neji is a fight to be studied for a long time. Incredible writing.

Look I really want to believe naruto was in fact a hard worker and he is but the series still shows hard work does not beat out natural genetics nor fate. Yes he mastered rasengan and shadow clone and even sage mode but dont forget the only reason he was able to do so was entirely because he was the jinchuriki of the hidden leaf. nobody wanted to help or train him until they found this out nobody else was given the attention nobody else had these ties by family nor history. for just one moment go back to the zabuza mission he would be dead due to the poison of the brothers, dead to haku's kekei genkai, dead many many times over without the ninetails helping him. It doesnt matter if the ninetails didnt like or even hated him he was able to always cash in the get out of free jail card every time. If the richest businessman in the world personally tutored me and every time I made a decision where my company would go under he bailed me out when I finally made it could I really say I was a hard worker? Sure I kept at it I made mistakes and I spent nights doing this practice but the only question I have is wouldnt most people be able to do this with this much safety net if they had a moderate amount of work ethic? poor lee and the others never stood a chance and I love naruto he is a good guy and a genuine/ naïve soul but he still had his hand held and led by the people around him its a real shame. because it just shows the reality of life and if you were not born into the favor of genetics or destiny then you either suffer, get lucky(something like the lottery ect), take it from others, or become the best you can be with what you have that will still not add up to the best but good for you to try. :(

You know, my take on Neji's death isn't as cut and dry. Kishimoto literally admitted to killing Neji for Naruto and Hinata's development. For Naruto actually pay attention to Hinata for once. Uniting by mourning over Neji seemed promising in hindsight, but actually was a really terrible idea that didn't pan out to shit. Neji shouldn't have died for Hinata. He had no other option but to choose to die for something that was somewhat in his control. So, he died to save his cousin. Whom he loved and if we take hints from Naruto SD, and how the Hyuga clan operates; then they're may have been more than familial feelings involved. Neji was like the canary in the coal mind. Telling everyone that Kishimoto didn't do shit to solve the Hyuga's issues. In fact Kishimoto is a very staunch believer in maintaining the status quo. Anyone not satisfied with the system is either written off, killed off, demonized or becomes a Naruto ride or die fanboy. Sasuke had real grievances, Neji had grievances, and Rain was given a false promise by Naruto for change. I notice fans really don't like discussing the darker, harsher underlying issues regarding the Naruto-verse. It's inequalities, aristocratic military, the genocides, the nationalism and propaganda. Konoha isn't absolved from any of that. All of the darkness concerning murder and etc... Was pinned on Danzo. Despite other characters being fully aware and compliant by inaction and association. There's a dissonance when it comes to appraising the series objectively, because it's more of a power fantasy. Then one that's seen mirror our world and the ugly nature of power and humanity. Power begets more power, as violence begets more violence. Yet that's the currency the Naruto-verse runs on. Ninja's like black ops and weapon dealers need war and conflict to thrive. The villages attitudes and treatment of the jinchurikki tells us as much. If Naruto and Sasuke weren't the powerhouses keeping checks and balances as they were, then someone would've definitely tried something by now. Villages, towns and leaders can agree in principle, but realistically in hindsight..... they'll be happy as hell when Naruto and Sasuke are gone. Becoming Hokage for example is layered in nepotism. Nothing in the Naruto-verse is free of manipulation and influence. Free of consequence to just be on one's own merit. Smaller towns and villages affected by the war and overshadowed, as usual would've had issues. Rock Lee is a truly gifted opponent with no chakra of his own, but he has hit a glass ceiling. One limited by his lack of status, clan and ordinariness. I viewed Rock lee's positivity as bright and gleeful shield hiding his inability to prosper beyond his limits. Since there will always be someone more powerful then he is. So, he shines bright despite it and refuses to be ignored or pushes aside. Rock Lee carries a recklessness that deep understanding of despair and futility brings. Knowing at his most powerful (i.e. the 8 gates), he'll burn bright and burn out. Regarding Neji, this character had a lot to live for. But the ending of the series was very stepford and unrealistic. Neji had to die to put a lynch pin in recognizing that Hinata and the main branch didn't do shit to change how things operate. I say he committed suicide willingly, since that's the only way he was going to be free. The series rarely shows any of the lower branch and if they do....they are men. The women in this clan are out of sight and out of mind. Living behind the walls of Hyuga laws and restrictions; within a compound that rarely lets anyone below a certain status in. The Hyuga being one of the great noble clans, have sovereignty, has money and the connections to flaunt. They are like the Rockefellers. This clan has a specific phenotype like the Uchiha's. Both clans were more likely to practice endogamy in order to preserve their kekkei genkai's. If we take into consideration heir archy, class and the way the Japanese and Koreans viewed class. Since the Hyuga's do share similarities to Korean dynasties. Then the lower branch were and are never going to be free. The main branch uses them as sacrifices. Since they consider their own lives to be Worth more then that of the lower branch. That's why the only females we see are heiresses and Hinata has Nej; while Hanabi has Ko. Neji's death wasn't even valued since he's often demonized by sects of the fandom, or the narrative, seen as arrogant and lesser then with fans stating he deserved to die for Hinata for how he treated her. Despite them completely ignoring the division abd invalidating the slavery and bondage taking place in this series. Fans identify more with the royalty then the abused. We see this time and time again. Fans agreeing with the Uchiha genocide and etc.... Naruto didn't teach fans how to think and recognize injustices. It taught fans how to minimize them and make excuses; since their favorite characters were often of higher class and powerful clans. The Hyuga's realistically wouldn't end a system like the bird cage seal. Sadism and class warfare is built heavily into it. Neji's father expressing anger at hinata's lack of competency is realistic, but him getting punished for it shows the lower branches voices and autonomy doesn't matter. Hinata being allowed to literally be disinterested, unengaged and unaffected by her own cousins plight speaks volumes at the difference in privilege. Fans praise her for chasing and obsessing over Naruto yet get upset when criticism is made against her lack of purpose, lack of interacting with her backstory and being able to coast through the series with very little growth or change. She's willing to die for Naruto and constantly tries to yet has no consideration for her own cousin; whom she knows was raised to die for her. Even upon Neji's death, the words that came out of his mouth were used as a stepping stone to highlight hinata's feelings. Guilt trying Naruto and basically stating Hinata is willing to die for you, now both of our blood are on your hands. He was thrown away to elevate someone who didn't do shit. I'd rather Hinata actually die like the tragic romantic she tried to be then Neji paying for her inability to think or move Naruto out of the way. Hiashi had more sympathy for Neji then Hinata ever died and she showed no concern either. Neji was a prodigy that should've been clan leader in order to show realtime growth and change. While Hinata had no real will or interest in doing anything that requires hard work and putting herself out there. For example admitting her own attraction and feelings without the narrative of the last fanfic doing for her. Completely absolving her of maturity and the risk of seeing less then perfect and infallibly human. Or even being willing to beat Hanabi to retain her status in order to not burden her sister. I think this video could've been deeper the. This but regardless, I appreciated it. 🙃

I like the video but let’s get this out of the way compared to sasuke , naruto barely trained to reach that level , sasuke was training his ass off since 7 years old to scrap with itachi while naruto was sipping bowls of ramen , we were only told he trained hard in part one and the few times we were shown how he trained was either something like a month (for rasengan) and bare in mind he wasn’t even a hard worker in the academy, at most he worked hard for like a month and that’s it , neji and sasuke the series geniuses worked for years to reach their respective levels and sasuke had to fucking use curse mark to push himself back to the top even with his blessed potential, naruto put on some work but he certainly didn’t work that hard compared to the rest

I believe some people are like Kakashi and Sasuke are Born with gifts like skills to master things relatively easily . While others like Guy or Naruto with a different type of gifts but in no way lesser . That is their attitude of never backing down and mental fortitude as you said of giving twice the effort as others. Everyone in real life also has either of these skills. People only fail when they fall in love with others gifts rather than nurturing their own. And hence eventually despair.

Still pissed that Neji died though, he was one of my favorites.

I appreciate these videos so much. Theyre truly inspiring and thought provoking. Never stop please

so happy to see another video, your channel is one of my favourites this video is great like the others

The whole clan deserved better lol

Very good Analysis on Neji. I never really thought about the fact that the leaf village actually does know the happenings of each clan so they're not only aware but are ok with these practices. It's actually kind of crazy to think about but it's still messed up that the only autonomy of choice they have is to choose the way they get to die. Neji deserved so much better he could've really been the future and bridge to a new way the Hyuga conducts themselves

Well he was wrong because Naruto DID change his fate. As a reincarnation of Ashura his fate was to fight Sasuke and either he was gonna kill him, be killed by him, or they would kill each other.

You are the greatest! Like you truly have a gift and you are using it to your full potential. The way that you chooses your words. It’s amazing. I’ve been a long time fan of yours and I just want to tell you that you are appreciated for your work

My favorite narrator/story teller…. Thanks for dropping my guy 👌🏾

Not to mention That Pervy sage at some point was poised to be number 5, but he rejected the post and gave it to Tsunade, I wouldn't be surprised if he was supposed to be Number4, but he saw it as too much of a hassle. Edit: Neji wasn't wrong, especially if you think about how he was programmed from a young age to serve the main house, I will say he was far gone to either side, but he wasn't wrong. Naruto still would have stake to the Hokage seat because his dad was Hokage, Sasuke was never going to be Hokage because he is an Uchiha, all the people in Naruto sort of had predetermined destinies, the only thing is none of them knew their destination. Whilst as Neji knew that his destiny was for him to die for his cousin, only difference is Neji focused to much on his destiny.

Neji died so he wouldn't call bullshit when he realized that Naruto and Sasuke are reincarnates

Amazing as always ❤️

Powerful video as always

Neji deserved better.

He was right. Nearly every ninja in the franchise with a serious power level has some sort of tailed beast, blood line amp, or some sort of injection from the former two. You get power cliffed the second you're run into someone who's trained long enough with a KG. Might Guy with full gates active still needed some help to overtake such a massively amped up Madara in the war for example.

Glad you're back, Sage! 🙏🏼

Amazing video

What I love about the neji’s destiny topic! It will never truly die ever. Every year there’s a new video on this topic! 😝

Neji was the original Blackpiller

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

When he died in shippuden, I didn't realize how much I liked him as a character. I cried because how much he held in all those years.

It should have been Hinata’s shitty dad Hiashi that died instead of Neji. Would have accomplished the exact same thing by bringing Naruto and Hinata closer, and also would have been atonement to how badly he’d treated his daughter for years.

"A leopard doesn't change its spots." That's true, but it does grow into its skin and becomes a fiercer hunter with every victory & every failure. It's appearance may not change but it does develop & adapt

Every time i see the notification you posted i know it’s gonna be heat

great video!

neji was happy to protect hinata but he became furious when his father was looked at as nothing and their branch was abused.

Ive watched naruto a bunch of times over and i know everything that happens. But man the way you explain it in your videos brings me to tears again and again with every upload. You truly are capabale of showing the beauty of this show

Incredible 👏🏾🔥

Can't wait for more to come

Its shallow writing and i was disappointed in Kishimoto for it. He tried to twist it in "Neji dies for Hinata but he is okay with it and its by his choice". The problem runs much deeper. Its not just about destiny. Its not just about a moral dilemma. We are talking about a stolen life. A stolen future. Stolen freedom. Neji was right. Many would argue he matured from his younger self. I agree he did in some ways. He understood not everything is predetermined and crushing others dreams is wrong. However when it comes to his own fate, he was always right. And he was spot on with his hatred and anger. He was faited to died for the main line and he died for the main line. The burden put on him came true. For the short life he lived after the exams, Neji knew no freedom but involuntary illusion created by Naruto and Hinata. Illusion that gave him false hope for himself. That he can live a life he wants. That his circumstance was something he could overcome. But unfortunately those pretty lies cant make the curse mark on his forehead disappear. Hinatas kindness and Narutos attempts to convince Neji his faith isn't decided cant change reality. Neji stopped hating Hinata because she proved she was different and kind hearted. He started liking Naruto because he "proved" him wrong and inspired him. However here comes the question - Do pretty words change reality or do they merely put a mask on reality's evil truth? I say its the latter. Hinata may be different but that doesnt change her blood and where she comes from. She still comes from the line that enslaved Neji. Hinata is still the oppressor who he is forced to give his life for. Even if she didn't want it. She is his curse. Kindness wont change that Naruto was never in position to tell Neji he is wrong about himself. He is just an outsider who could never understand what its like to have your life stolen away from you and forced to serve somebody else. He is quite literally an anti thesis to Neji. Naruto was the most free a man could be because he had no clan and wasn't force to do anything that isnt his choice. He decided his own faith. Meaning he is the furthest person away from Neji. Years after the war, Hinata and Naruto banned the seal ritual. New generations dont bare it. Their words of kindness ended up being real in the longer game. And they did prove to be different. Their kindness is the reason there will never be another Neji. They changed things for the better........however it was too late for Neji to witness or experience that. Nejis reality was tragic. He was right about how he will live and how he will die. Denied the choice of future from an early childhood, Neji lived a slave and died a slave. Never knowing true freedom but mere lies of those who never understood him.

I think it was worth mentioning that Neji's father was the oldest twin, yet for some reason his uncle was pick to be the next leader, so he wasn't never to be fated to be a slave to begin with.

This was a Great Vid.

One of your best vides❤

All jutsu can be broken, one way or another. I don’t believe in “destiny” per se. I believe in potential. Neji’s “destiny was just being a child & have someone decide that you don’t have a choice. Like most of us, until we leave home. People took his freedom, not “destiny”. It’s unfortunate.

I would have been a good arc to see Neji to decide between freedom and the village. But that never happened

You make me cry everytime...... 🙂🔥

Hey Sage I really love your content. You inspire me so much. I'm actually working on a project for a video game I dream to make.

Both are true, Hard work and determination will take one in a positive direction regardless of circumstances of ones birth, social standing or friends in high-places or lack there of. This being said these factors can grant one a great advantage and represent a highly significant head start in life or great disadvantage etc etc.

Hate how he had to die for Hinata in the end. Even if blah blah he chooses to do it bullshit. His curse mark and lee's inability to use anything but taijistu don't come close to the shit hand they got by kishimoto's writing in Shippuden.

It’s so cool you use clips from the dub.

Neji was right: After the fight with Naruto: "Wow so one can overcome destiny by hard-work". Ending of Shippuden: "So Naruto is basically the reincarnation of a God" -> so yeah, Destiny in the end.

I just want you to know that whatever happens with your channel, wether you keep doing this for as long as it fulfills you or if your channel begins to dwindle and die-you’re an absolute gift. This channel has brought me so much joy I can’t really put it into words. The care, the attention, the passion all bleeds out every video I watch from you. And hundreds of thousands of people can feel that, and I thank you on behalf of all of them. I don’t know how many people I speak for but you’ve impacted me just as much as the characters you talk about. I really hope you’re doing well man, you seriously deserve it. And keep going. Unless you don’t want to, then stop. Whatever you choose to do, thank you for what you’ve done. I won’t forget it.

Neji was still right. Yes, Naruto worked hard but what if Neji worked harder? Would he have surpassed Naruto? Not a chance.

Bro, you got to watch the Netflix Transylvania series I need to hear your breakdown of the characters they’re so in-depth and unique, especially one in particular you’ll find out who he is. He will need no introduction to us who watched him.

a great video

No, not you too… Edit: Whew, no, my fears were unfounded. You nailed it.

Ultimately Naruto WAS destined to be Hokage not because he wanted it bad enough or because he worked hard enough because Neji, Lee and even Sasuke prove that those are not enough.

With these videos, you just shift my ideas from one to another, like leaf dancing with the wind.

1st and 2nd (brothers), 3rd (student of the 2nd), 4th (student of Jiraya who's student of the 3rd), 5th (grandchild of the 1st), 6th (student of the 4th), 7th (student of the 6th and son of the 4th)

Hinata said “Am going to become stronger for Naruto” like theirs no other reason 🙄.

I wish Neji saw Naruto become Hokage. 😭

holy shit, that was the best video of Neji I've ever seen!

Thank you bro I always thought this

Imagine if Neji went to an Alternate reality where he was born in the Main Family and that Hinata was born in the Branch Family.

how I look at it, it was destiny for Neji to die for Hinata, however its different because at first it was like he didn't have a choice and he hated that, But after meeting Naruto and knows what he means to everyone and Hinata, he made the choice to save hinata and naruto. If he didn't try to save hinata the curse mark would never force him to save her, it was his own choice. but then again, it would be better if the curse mark thing would be removed especially after Tsunade took over. Neji should have felt real freedom, not just in death. I blame the writers.

Honestly the entirety of Team guy should've have more relevance in the story.

Neji is one may favourite character it was sad when he died. When he saw his father died it’s so crushing he never had an choice since born but density shouldn’t be an chained should it ?
