#neji lives

You ever think about

Here is my tribute to the Neji fam, who all universally agree, like a hivemind, that his death was a freaking joke, and the way it was handled going forward, was really insensitive. Not to mention, in the grand scheme, it just served no purpose, other than to taunt the Neji fandom, from how his entire death scene felt like a fucking TAUNT. And I am not kidding about this.

Look at this image here.

People claim that, "Neji's Caged Bird Seal disappeared with his death, move the hell on already, nobody cares for him", but you tell me. When you die, that normally means liberation for some, morbid as it sounds, but for someone like Neji, it should have been portrayed as such. And yet, you look at this image up there, and you ask: What about this?

It just doesn't connect, dude. It just comes off as if Kishimoto really regrets creating this character, and just felt like taunting his fans, by pulling this diabolical shit, portraying EVERYTHING about his passing as a joke, considering that he was nowhere to be seen in "The Last", and his death had little to NO fanfare in-universe. This has got to be the most disrespectful death in all of anime, right next to Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, lowkey. And let's not forget that, Neji died, in the EXACT. SAME. WAY. He was supposed to die the first time around: Getting pierced through the body. This goes BEYOND just being cynical, bro. But I will not go on another tangent about this, you already know how I feel about all this "fate being predetermined" nonsense, I won't continue beating a dead horse here.

And just for context, because not everyone knows about my headcanons, these power-ups that Neji and Hinata get in the video, are related to their Byakugan evolution: The Bankakyō Byakugan. And in that moment, with Hiashi's passing, and the absolute Clear Mind hitting them like a freight train, they basically broke their chains of captivity, and unlocked 100% of their pure dojutsu ability, right then and there.

Neji's Bankakyō Byakugan:

Hinata's Bankakyō Byakugan:

And, the wild felines in the back, are also placed there with a clear purpose: It represents, from which familial branch they truly come from, and they embrace it in pride and vigor.

Neji is from the Side Branch:

Hinata is from the Main Branch:

This is the gist of things.

And by the way, that line that "Neji" said, was actually said by Toshiro from Bleach, considering they have the same English voice actor. Mindblowing, eh?

Nejiten Month 2025 - Day 24: Neji lives

Neji's gaze lingered on Tenten, his thoughts a tangled mix of emotions. Her presence there, the concern etched on her sleeping face, tugged at something in his chest. He could easily sense her exhaustion, the heavy toll of worry and sleepless nights. The memory of her voice, desperate and tinged with terror, repeated in his mind: "Don't leave me alone."

"Neji!" The name fell from Tenten's lips in a smothered breath. She leaned toward him, her hands gently seeking his, as if afraid of breaking him. "You're... you're awake. It's been almost a day." Her eyes blurred again, but this time they were tears of pure joy. She squeezed his hand gently. "We almost... almost lost you." Neji frowned, trying to remember. The last image was the attack, the feeling of his chakra draining... and something else. Something that didn't fit with the ending he'd accepted. "The war... is it over?" he asked, his gaze clouded with weakness.

Tenten nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Yes. The war is over. Obito was defeated. We're safe."

A comfortable silence, heavy with Tenten's silent gratitude, filled the room. Neji watched her, trying to decipher the unusually open emotion on her face. Then his eyes narrowed, a shadow of confusion crossing his features.

"Tenten," he began, his voice a little louder, "there's something... something I don't quite remember. At the moment of impact... I heard a voice. Your voice." His eyes locked with hers, searching for an answer. "You were yelling my name. And something else... a phrase. Was it real... or is my mind playing tricks on me?"

Read the first chapter here:

....

Hinata(Calm state even after she lost her water, and yet her husband kept walking back and forth like an very anxious freak when NejiTen looked quiet..): Naruto-kun, calm--

Naruto(Yells out and close to lose his cool or as he already done it.):DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! AND WHERE'S THAT MORON, SO I CAN BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM?

Tenten(Frowns by looking over her phone.) : You mean Sasuke?

Naruto: YEAH!

Neji(Shrugs but stood calm oas he sat down onto the couch as he watched Naruto going to the bedroom and started to pack out whater clothes Hinata needed for the night, with frustration.): You've already throw him out, two minutes ago! And right after Hinata had told you she lost her water, so-----

Naruto(Coming back like a mad man with the sports bag.): And that doesn't make you wanna freak out?

Neji(Defended himself as if it didn't bothered him as Tenten dialed on her phone to call Sakura and walked away from the crazy scene.): I'm totally and perfectly calm, you know? If Hinata is doing fine, than you should be too..

Tenten(Cut him off, with a snicker as she walked back, with a phone to one ear and her hand on the other..): It's not the first impression you've made when Hinata had told you she was pregnant.

Which it cost her a glare when her husband stared at her back.

Naruto(Still dumbfounded back.): Like what?(No idea what the heck these two are talking about..Too freaked out.)

Hinata(Sat down on the couch. with one hand holding to her covered swollen belly, under her long lavender dress.): Neji passed out when I've told him I was pregnant.(Waved out like it didn't mattered.)

Naruto: Huh?

Tenten(Still snickering with laughter.): Yup. I even have a picture of it. How funny it was..

Neji: Tenten...

Sasuke(Clutches over the window looking a bit bruised from the first fall by Naruto,): Argh, a little help, here?

Neji(Growls under his breath a vein almost popped out fof his forehead.): Now is not the right time, Uchiha--

Sasuke(Cuts them out with a question as he listened to the conversation.): Ohh? You guys were talking about the passing out scene at the Hyuuga's? I got it recorded on my phone--

Little did he known, that he been thrown out once again from the window, by Neji Hyuuga this time!

Naruto realizes that while Hokage was a good dream to reach for when he was struggling, he has come to a point where he is the hero of the world and becoming Hokage just isn't what he wants to do anymore. He sees the broken system and decides that after working his butt off to gain the recognition of the village, he deserves to focus on himself for a bit and goes with Sasuke to explore and figure himself out in ways he can't in the village

Orochimaru is held accountable for all of their horrible actions and not released into the world, so Yamato isn't set on babysitting duty and is allowed to retire and live that life surrounded by people who care about him that he so badly wanted

Kakashi still becomes Hokage but has every intention of being the final hokage and starts working on organizing a better system that can help the village grow. He still grows the village economically during his reign and makes Konoha a successful village in a new, none war focused way with trade agreements with all of the other lands.

Nejiten after war

What I hated the most was not him dying, but how poorly written it was and the lack of reaction from his team. He fucking died they should have gotten crazy, mad, something, not just tearfull. And of course tenten is seen nowhere. But who cares about canon, this blog is free of canon.
