Neji Hyuga is a ninja from the Hyuga clan, a jōnin of Hidden Leaf Village. He is a member of Team Guy, which includes Rock Lee and Tenten.

History

Once the head of the Hyuga clan became a father, he had twins: Hiashi and Hizashi. According to the laws of the clan, the child born first becomes the next head of the crown, and this mission fell to the lot of the firstborn Hiashi. And Hizashi was appointed to the service of the older brother's family. He begins to secretly hate everyone who dominates him.

Then the brothers also have children, the heir has a daughter, Hinata, and the servant of Hizashi has a son, Neji. As soon as the boy was five years old, he was overtaken by evil fate and he receives a "cursed seal" for life.

One day, during the training of the growing Hinata, Hizashi, driven by hatred, tries to attack her, but Hiashi stops his actions, using the "cursed seal" on Neji's forehead. He, seeing the painful defeat of his father, is very worried about him. The warlike confrontation between the two brothers causes bewilderment in their children. Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga are very friendly, they don't understand why their fathers attack each other.

At the same time, Neji is still very small, and he is unable to understand the intricacies of relationshipsbetween relatives. Neji Hyuga tries to be friendly towards Hinata, his sister, and he succeeds until an event occurs that radically changes the young man. However, this did not happen immediately.

Confrontation

A few years later, a protracted war broke out between Cloud Village and the Konoha community. Neji Hyuga had already grown up and become a real ninja by that time.

And now Konoha makes peace. In honor of such an event, a grand celebration was held, to which all the inhabitants of the village of Oblaka came. But no one knew that the guests secretly set out to master the ancient secret of Konoha - the Byakugan. It was a special technique that, during the battle, opened the opponent's chakra and made him vulnerable, since the chakra opened for a strike already foreshadowed defeat.

Civil strife

Under the cover of darkness, Shinobi Cloud kidnaps Hinata, but Hiashi gets in his way. Without calculating the force of the blow, he kills the shinobi, the Cloud, ignoring the fact of Hinata's abduction, demanded to give up the culprit or his head. But Hiashi remains unharmed, instead of him, Hizashi, his own brother, goes to his death. Hizashi takes this decision instantly, he wants to save Konoha from a bloody war, and also passes on heroism to his son, for whom all paths are now open.

However, Neji Hyuga himself is deeply shocked by the death of his father and feels hatred for all members of the main family. He says to himself: "From now on, everything is predetermined by fate" - and these words become his credo. Further, without delay, the young Hyuuga begins strenuouslyimprove your abilities.

Study

Studying at the Shinobi Academy, Neji becomes the best graduate when it comes time to leave the walls of the alma mater. Endless diligence and hard training have turned the young ninja into an unbending warrior. Under the guidance of taijutsu master Gai Maito, he becomes a member of a team led by the genius of work Lee, as well as with the great master of melee weapons, Ten-Ten. After a year of grueling training, Neji, Tenten and Lee compete in the Chūnin Exams.

Personal qualities

Neji became courageous and reasonable, being brought up surrounded by the same brave and selfless members of his Hyuga clan. It was only on the eve of his fight with Naruto, a boastful and irresponsible ninja, that Neji became cold and somewhat arrogant. Long before the duel, rumors of Naruto's heroism and strength were circulating everywhere. Hyuuga Neji took this information in stride, as he did not accept the boastful assurances.

He was convinced that his father died because he was not a member of the main, but a secondary family, and therefore his fate was sealed. Hinata falls under the hot hand of his brother during such reflections. She criticizes him for his weakness and excessive faith in his destiny. Neji tries to kill his cousin, but he is stopped by the jonin who are nearby. However, the fight still happened, and Hinata came out of it pretty shabby.

Fight with Naruto

Fight with Naruto took place under the sign of beliefs about the vicissitudes of fate,and most importantly, about its inevitability. Neji shows Naruto the "Cursed Seal" on his forehead, continuing to claim that the weak will never get stronger from the start while under the sign of fate. Naruto, who is not a big fan of reasoning, still says that the fate can be changed by the person himself. He attacks Neji with no hope of winning, but to his surprise, he defeats the enemy.

After the battle, dejected by defeat, Neji renounces his beliefs of a fatal nature, he no longer believes in the inevitability of fate and becomes closer to the main family. Leaving philosophy behind his mind, Hyuuga vows to become strong enough not to lose in battle.

Gradually, he begins to return to clan values, spends a lot of time in training and becomes an unbending warrior. Neji shows his abilities during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he fights shoulder to shoulder with Hinata, protecting the girl in every possible way. He fights in cold blood, first he assesses the situation, and only then his actions begin.

Appearance

In Neji's appearance, his clothes are of great importance: a black bandage adjacent to his forehead, a khaki shirt, dark shorts, blue shinobi sandals. Neji is also constantly bandaged in the first part of the anime. He then dresses in the traditional Hyuuga attire, a long-sleeved white shirt buttoned at the right shoulder. A dark gray combat apron and black shinobi sandals complete the picture.

Death of Neji

Change of clothes caninterpreted as a rapprochement with the clan and a willingness to fight in honor of the main family. Neji Hyuga, whose art is impressive in its artistry, is presented as a hero in any situation. In manga 614, he is killed by multiple spikes that pierce his neck and chest. Neji Hyuga, whose death came as a surprise, will appear as a ghost in the anime for a long time to come.
