Neji Hyuuga - Hyuuga ninja, a Jounin of the Hidden Leaf village. He is a member of Guy's team, which includes Rock Lee and Tenten.
History
Once the head of the Hyuug clan became a father, he had twins: Hiashi and Khizashi. According to the laws of the clan, a child born earlier becomes the next hereditary chapter, and this mission fell to the share of the first-born of Hiashi. And Hizashi was appointed to serve the family of his older brother. He begins to secretly hate everyone who dominates him.
Then the brothers also have children, the daughter of Hinata is born to the heir, and the son of Neji to the servant of Hizashi. As soon as the boy was five years old, he was overtaken by evil rock and he received a “damned seal” for life.
Once, during training of the growing Hinata, Hizashi, driven by hatred, tries to attack her, but Hiashi suppresses his actions, using the “damned seal” on Neji's forehead for this. He, seeing the painful defeat of his father, is very worried about him. The belligerent confrontation of the two brothers causes bewilderment in their children. Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hugo are very friendly, they do not understand why their fathers attack each other.
However, Neji is still very small, and he is not able to understand the intricacies of relations between relatives. Neji Hyuuga tries to be friendly with 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 the village of Clouds and the Konoha community. Neji Hyuuga had already grown by then and became a real ninja.
And Konoha makes peace. In honor of such an event, a grandiose holiday was held, to which all the inhabitants of the village of Clouds came. But no one knew that the guests secretly set out to master Konoha's ancient secret - Byakugan. This was a special technique that during the battle opened the enemy’s chakra and it became vulnerable, since the chakra open for striking already foreshadowed defeat.
Internecine strife
Under cover of darkness, the Cloud Shinobi kidnaps Hinata, but Hiashi stands in his way. Not calculating the force of the blow, he kills the shinobi, Cloud, ignoring the fact of abduction of Hinata, demanded to extradite the culprit or his head. But Hiashi remains unscathed; instead, Khizashi, his brother, goes to death. This decision Hizashi takes instantly, he wants to save Konoha from a bloody war, and also transfers heroism to his son, for whom all paths are now open.
However, Neji Hyuug 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 to intensively improve his abilities.
Study
Studying at the Shinobi Academy, Neji becomes the best graduate when it comes time to leave the walls of alma mater. Endless zeal and hard training turned the young ninja into an unbending warrior. Under the guidance of Taijutsu master Guy Maito, he becomes a member of the team led by labor genius Lee, as well as with the great cold steel master, Ten-Ten. After a year of exhausting training, Neji, Ten-Ten, and Lee participate in exam battles on Chuunin.
Personal qualities
Neji became courageous and judicious, being brought up surrounded by the same brave and selfless members of his Hyuug clan. Only on the eve of the battle with Naruto, the boastful and irresponsible ninja, Neji became cold and somewhat arrogant. Long before the fight, rumors spread throughout Naruto's heroism and power. Hyuuga Neji calmly reacted to this information because he did not recognize boastful assurances.
He was convinced that his father had died because he was not a member of the main but a secondary family, and therefore his fate was a foregone conclusion. Hinata falls under the brother's hot hand during such thoughts. She criticizes him for his weakness and excessive faith in her fate. Neji is trying to kill a cousin, but he is stopped by the nearby johns. However, the battle still occurred, and Hinata came out of it pretty battered.
Fight with Naruto
The battle with Naruto took place under the sign of conviction about the vicissitudes of fate, and most importantly, about its inevitability. Neji shows Naruto a “cursed seal” on his forehead, continuing to claim that the weak will never become stronger under the sign of fate. Naruto, who is not a big fan of speculating, still says that man himself can change fate. He goes on the attack on Neji, completely not hoping to win, but, to his surprise, defeats the enemy.
After the battle, dejected by defeat, Neji abandons his beliefs of a fatal nature, he no longer believes in the inevitability of fate and becomes closer to the main family. Leaving philosophy outside his mind, Hyuug swears an oath to become so strong as 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 World War shinobi, he fights shoulder to shoulder with Hinata, protecting the girl in every possible way. The battle is calm, first assesses the situation, and only then its actions begin.
Appearance
In the appearance of Neji, 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 clothing of the Hyuug clan, a white shirt with wide sleeves fastened on his right shoulder. A dark gray combat apron and black shinobi sandals complete the look.
Neji's death
Changing clothes can be interpreted as a rapprochement with the clan and a willingness to fight in honor of the main family. Neji Hyuug, whose artwork impresses with his artistry, is presented as a hero in any situation. In Manga 614, he dies from a multitude of spikes piercing his neck and chest. Neji Hyuuga, whose death was a surprise, will appear in the anime for a long time, like a ghost.
