The True Power Of Neji Hyuga!

Neji Hyuga was regarded by many inside the hidden leaf village as one of Konoha's most skilled prodigies. During the Naruto vs Neji fight in the chunin exams, Neji was in complete control until Naruto tapped into the power of the nine tailed fox. When the story skipped to the Naruto Shippuden portion of the manga, Neji had achieved the rank of jounin, being the only member of the konoha 11 who held the rank at the time.
However, just how strong was Neji Hyuga? In this first installment of the Hyuga clan edition of the true power series, we're going to break down Neji's True Power!

Neji was my favorite character in the whole show and I cannot believe they just through away maybe one of the most powerful and greatest shinobi in the whole anime. I can't just wrap mind mind around how really dumb they were to throw all of that amazing potential in the trash, and the reason he died was to strengthen the relationship of Naruto and Hinata, so they killed off one of the most liked and popular characters just to frickin strengthen a relationship? That is so stupid.

[@nicholasmatthew9687]

They didn’t just throw him away. There’s more philosophical symbolism to the manga and anime than people realize, it’s the reason it’s a top 5 globally. Neji’s death was a signal of the shinobi world advancing in the right direction, it was an achievement, not a loss. Ultimately the Naruto universe would not be the sensation that it is without the very specific symbolism that was laboriously developed for our entertainment.

He would battle someone like Kakazu and push the Byakugan to its limits and in his moment of despair, we'd see his back story finally. but all that potential was wasted so that Naruto could get his shine both times.

Thats where the byackugan is better. Where as sharingan uses a watered down eye of insight and the hypnotic eye.

@@JayfroC He should have been Low-Kage level given his rate of improvement at a young age. He had already surpassed his clan members and Jonin level ninja by age 13, no differently than characters like Itachi.

He was vastly ahead of his generation.

Oh, I agree. As far as I'm concerned, both Neji and Lee *should* 100% have been Kage-tier fighters in part 2, given that they were the two hardest workers of the bunch and started the series way above Naruto and Sasuke in terms of skill. But unfortunately, they were side characters bound to become irrelevant. Still, he was super impressive.

I have a question in regards to your “what if tobirama never died” video, in which obito takes itachis sharingan. If obito decides to keep his right mangekyo with kamui and can only take one of itachi’s sharingan, do you think he would choose the tsukuyomi or amaterasu? Also do you think he would be able to unlock susanoo? If so, what color would it be?

[@Restrictted]

If a sharingan user takes a sharingan from another user they keep their unique sharingan abilities because it's a DNA thing and gains the abilities of the other user. That's why Sasuke had the ATOM sharingan it's a mix of both brothers eyes. He gained all of his brothers abilities and his own. Keeping one of your eyes wouldn't be a benefit at all because only one eye has the full potential of both. Also to my knowledge, taking multiple sets of eyes was never mention to allow/not to allow you to just stack eye techniques. Unless you have to different eyes from multiple pairs so you can do three people's techniques (including your own)

[@jusstking7649]

Neji is fast as fuck. Remember when he crossed this huge amount of terrain (while bleeding to death) in order to give the killing blow to Kidomaru before he hit the ground?

This is why Oda-sensei is the superior writer than Kishimoto-sensei. Oda-sensei gives even the minor characters time to shine, like for example Bon-chan, now that's a good character even if he's just a minor character. On the otherhand, Kishimoto-sensei has so much awesome ideas for his characters but then forgets about it because he's so focused on the Uchiha. He even kinda shove one of his main character Sakura to the side and now a lot of people are hating on her. I know Naruto was inspired by Dragonball but he doesn't have to be inspired by Toriyama-sensei's tendency to forget things in his own story. But I know it's not entirely his fault, I'm pretty sure his editor played a big part in the down fall of Naruto.

KingCed Ok so let me kno if this makes sense: During the final stage of the war Madara gain power of the six path, and regeneration due to hashirama cells. Kishimoto stated to have no idea how to defeat Madara but wouldn’t the answer be in “Team Guy”. Tenten: tho a joke was able and has the potential to master the weapons made from the sage of six path and actually damage him. Neji: With the Gentle fist he will be able to mess up his chakra control, slow down or potentially stop his regeneration, and maybe with all these chakra corruptions he will not be able to maintain control of the ten-tails that was inside him. Lee: Since ninjustu doesn’t work his taijustu would be the most effective. Team Guy as a whole specializes in taijustu which is the only way to damage him. I could be wrong tho🤷🏾‍♂️

Rember this while it is true the guy and kakashi were able to hold of 6 to a minimum of 4 tailed beast by themselves even then it was just bearly. Team guy as a collective is still weaker than that from what we seen. Madura before getting the ten tails while he was temporarily blinded and freshly revived soled all 9 tailed beast including half of kurama controlled by naruto which is in fact stronger than an individual half 9 tails. Just think about how astranomicly strong the madura was and then you realize why guy decided right of the bat to go eight gate. Team ten would be squashed and get in the way of Guy. During that metaphorical fight even then in the maga it was shown multiple times that the charcters on the side lines watching 8th gate guy literally break himself had to intervene in order to keep guy form being stabbed or immobilized and this madura was lowkey playing around. While yes I aee your point about how team Guy really was a perfect counter to then that form of madura they were all just to individually not strong enough to compare to him remember the version of madura was the second God tier threat that we seen other than jubito.

The sharingan uses the eye of insight to copy and the hypnotic eye to make it appear like they see the future. As kakashi said. But for shear power of isight the byackugan is better of the two. Its only in the eyesight category where byackugan is superior. However thats more than enouph. The sharingan can copy becuase it can see high speed to catch the use of hand signs and muscle movements. And it can see chakra flow and type. U have to understand all these things in order to learn a jutsu. Funny enouph the byackugan has all these skills in surplus. The ability to read chkra flow is better.
