Biography:
 Neji is a member of the
Hyuga clan but belongs to
the branch family. His father, Hizashi Hyuga, was the twin of
Hiashi Hyuga,
the current leader of the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga
clan practiced a tradition of branding those of the branch family with
a seal applied to the forehead. This was meant to control the
branch family members and punish them if necessary because when
activated, the seal causes excruciating pain and can even kill the
family member. Because of this, Neji grew to resent the main
family. His hatred grew when his father was killed.
Although Neji did not know this at the time, his father
willingly
sacrificed his life to save his brother’s. But Neji
had believed the main family was responsible for his father’s
death. Like Sasuke, Neji was
considered a natural genius
and was the top rookie of his class. However, because he was
a member of the branch family, he was not allowed to learn the secret
techniques of the Hyuga clan. But this did not stop Neji from working
hard and training on his own to improve his techniques.
Because of the incidents of his past, Neji believed that one is born
into his fate and cannot change it. He looked down upon
“failures” like Rock Lee and Naruto Uzumaki, whom
he believed could never surpass someone who is born as a genius. Neji
especially hated Hinata Hyuga because even though she is a member of
the main Hyuga family, she is weak and lacks confidence.
It wasn’t until the Chuunin exams did a
certain knuckle-headed ninja change Neji’s way of
thinking. In the final rounds of the exam, Neji faced Naruto
as his opponent. Believing Naruto to be a perpetual failure,
Neji attempted to show Naruto his place by defeating him at every turn
in the fight. But it was Naruto, with the help of
Kyuubi’s chakra, who defeated Neji in the end.
Naruto managed to convince Neji the errors of his thinking by proving
to him that fate can be changed.After these events, Neji’s relationship with Hinata and the rest of the main family improved. It also appears that the archaic restrictions placed on the branch family members have also been lifted. Neji has been training with Hiashi and has greatly improved many of his abilities.
