This page covers the Viz comicbook hero Neji . If this is not the page you were looking for check here.

Neji is from the second branch family of the Hyuuga clan, Hyuugas

that are not a part of the main branch and are thus considered lesser. He has struggled to prove that destiny is meaningless and to surpass the main house.

Neji is an inheritor of the Byakugan, a Hyuuga blood-line technique. This provides him with a near 360 degree field of vision, telescopic vision, and the ability to see chakra.

Although the Byakugan gives him a near 360 degree field he can see very far with it and he also has a blind spot in the lower part of his neck.

Due to the punishments his father received as well as his father's influence, Neji also came to resent the main branch. But this would change when Neji hears that his father voluntarily sacrificed himself for his twin brother who's apart of the main branch. He believed that his father Hizashi was forced to sacrifice himself for his brother.

Due to his strong resentment of the main branch at the time during the chunin exams, Neji brutally beatsHinata, his cousin in the Preliminaries in the Chunin Exam. In the finals Neji fights Naruto. At first Neji is winning but in the end Naruto wins. At the end, Neji's resentment of the First Branch is gone.

Neji joins Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and Akamaru, and Naruto in a mission to retrieve Sasuke.

They find them with a container. They hide and Neji uses his Byakugan to see what's in it. It turns out that Sasuke is in it. When they are trapped in a rock dome by Jirobou, one of the Sound Four Shikamaru tells Neji to use his Byakugan to find the weakest point in the dome after Kiba uses his Garouga Jutsu. Choji then uses the Human Boulder Jutsu to get out. They then leave Choji to fight Jirobi and everyone else to go after the rest of the Sound Four and Sasuke.

Shikamarutries to be Jirobou in order to get Sasuke but fails. Kidomaru of the Sound Four stay while the two go on. Each person attacks but the get caught in his webs. After a surprise attack from Naruto that distracts Kidomaru, Neji uses his Byakugan to cut the webs along with Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba and Akamaru. The three go while Neji fights Kidomaru.

In the beginning Kidoumaru goes into Cursed Level one form but stays far from Neji knowing he can't get close. He then summons the spider Kyodaigumo who releases hundreds of spiders. Neji fends them off with his Eight Trigrams Rotation. Kidoumaru tries to throw a Sticky Spider Web kunai at Neji but uses the web of the spiders to block the attack. Kidoumaru then shoots more of these kunais but Neji dodges them all.

But Kidoumaru release more spiders when Neji attacks with the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms. When he brings out more spiders He doubles the number to 128 Palms. While this happened Kidoumaru throws a web kunai in the back of Neji that rips through his clothes on his shoulder. When he tries to attack the spiders another web dagger is thrown stabbing him in the back and Neji coughs up some blood.

Alot more daggers are released and while Neji is quickly dodging them spiders are coming down and a dagger cuts the band that holds the end of his hair and two more stab Neji in the back again. Kyodaigumo jumps on to Neji which raises clouds of dirt around them. When the clouds go away Kyodaigumo roars. Neji uses the Juuken which focuses his chakra into his fist and arm and punches the large spiders stomach causing the spider to bubble up and explode into web when Kidoumaru sends more web daggers at Neji. Two more daggers stab him in the back and he falls to the ground.

As Neji gets up Kidoumaru goes into his Second Cursed Seal Form. He has red skin and has a third eye under his Sound Headband and makes a bow and arrow out his web and notices the Byakugans blind spot behind the neck. His hair grows longer and gray along with two horns. Neji takes out the web kunais and runs behind a tree. Kidoumaru sends the arrow at him and controls it with his chakra with a line of web attached to it. Neji jumps behind a tree but the arrow goes through it and cuts his cheek and his Leaf Headband flies off. Kidoumaru sends a spiral arrow at Neji stabbing him in the stomach pinning him to a tree. Neji sends a burst of chakra through the line of web stuns Kidoumaru. He then remembers Naruto saying he wasn't a loser. Kidoumaru recovers using web at a tree which he hangs from. With determination to win Neji runs at Kidoumaru and after Kidoumaru dodges a few punches Neji lands one sending Kidoumaru to the ground.

Kidoumaru reverts back to his normal form and wonder how Neji lived when he should've died. He tells him that he knew he couldn't dodge the last attack but he could take it head on. He reveals that he knew this weakness of the Byakugan before he did. He used his chakra to deflect the attack. He moved a few centimeters so he wouldn't die instantly but be heavily injured. Kidoumaru says Sasuke caim to them of his own will but Neji believes Naruto can save him. Neji lies on the ground away as Kidoumaru dies. Neji then remembers meeting Hinata as kids, seeing his dad die, doing things with his team, meeting Sasuke, fighting Hinata and naruto in the Chunin Exams, the funeral of the Third Hokage, and the team to get Sasuke. He says that he leaves the rest to everyone as a feather falls in his hand.

Neji's jutsu

Byakugan- The Hyuga family's kekkei genkai that makes their eyes seem the way they do. This technique allows for them to see the many chakra points in a person's body and pinpoint them to make their jutsu useless, and they can make themselves stronger, too.

Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms- This technique allows Neji to move at a high speed and hit any sixty four of his oppponent. THis was even used on Naruto, when he fought him. He has total mastery over this taijutsu move.

Eight Trigrams One-Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms- This is a technique that is much like the Sixty-Four Palms technique. Though this allows Neji to move even faster than the Sixty Four Palms technique allows him to move. Now he can hit 128 of his opponent's chakra points.

Eight Trigrams: Heavenly Palm Spin- This technique is strong enough to deflect almost any attack that is used against him. That attack then sends the attack flying off with twice the power and intensity that it had.

Eight Trigrams: Great Heavenly Palm Spin- THis is just a stronger and bigger verion of the Heavenly Spin Technique.

Eight Trigrams: Three-Hundered Sixty-One Palms- This technique allows Neji to hit all 361 chakra points of his opponent. This is one of the most dangerous techniques in the Hyuuga Clan. THis technique can result in instantaneous death or Cardiovascular Collapse.

Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm- This is a more focused version of the Great Palm Spin, just expelled out of his hand.This technique rivals wind gust techniques that Temari uses.

Eight Trigrams: True Palm- THis is an extremely powerful move in which he expels chakra out of his hand and can cause massive damage. This is a Mid to Long-range technique.

Eight Trigrams: Eight Gates Bombardment- This technique allows Nejio, to close off the Eight Gates of Chakra. THis technique is siad to be an A ranked Taijutsu, and is the most powerful and dangerous technique in the Hyuuga Clan.

Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher- This technique is just the Empty or True Palm used at Point Blank Range.
