==Summary==
Neji Hyūga (日向ネジ, Hyūga Neji) was a member of Konohagakure's Hyūga clan. Though a prodigy even by the Hyūga's standards, Neji was a member of the clan's Branch House; no matter how skilled he became, he would always be in service to the Hyūga's Main House, a fact that convinced him that his fate was predetermined. After being inspired by Naruto Uzumaki's determination to be free from any bounds, Neji realized that his destiny was up to him to decide. As a member of Team Guy, he sought the strength necessary to create the future he wanted for his family and friends.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
Byakugan (White Eye): This eye technique is the kekkei genkai of the Hyūga clan and one of the Three Great Dōjutsu. Wielders of this eye can see long distances (at least 10 kilometers) and see objects too small for the ordinary eye to detect (such as the pressure points on a human's body). The Byakugan has an almost perfect 360-degree field of vision, though a small blind spot is located near the back of the user's neck. The eye can also see through objects as well as many barriers and can see chakra.
Juuken (Gentle Fist): By taking advantage of the Byakugan, the user can see a person's chakra pathway system. Juuken inflicts internal damage by attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System by injecting chakra into specific pressure points (tenketsu), injuring internal organs closely intertwined with the pathways. Once these tenketsu points are struck, they are sealed and can no longer produce chakra for some time, severely limiting the victim's chakra flow.
*Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin): The user releases chakra from all tenketsu points on their body and spins rapidly to create a small omnidirectional vortex of chakra that can be used for defensive purposes.
*Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms): By utilizing the Byakugan's ability to pinpoint a person's tenketsu points, the user will strike 64 of the victim's 361 chakra points to seal off their chakra flow and inflict internal damage.
*Jūkenpō Ichigekishin (Gentle Fist Art Single Body Blow): A close-range technique which allows the user to expel a forceful blast chakra from all of their tenketsu points at once. Similar to Kaiten, but without the spinning effect and less range.
*Hakke Kūshō (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm): After using their Byakugan to locate a target's vitals, the user will attack with a forceful palm thrust which releases a small wave of chakra. The attack is powerful enough to blow a person off their feet and has a range of several meters.
*Hakke Kuhekisho (Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm): A combination attack involving two Juuken users who simultaneously strike a target with their Hakke Kuushou (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm) technique. Neji uses this jutNO in combination with Hinata.
