Neji Hyuga is a branch member of the famed Hyuga clan. He has a grudge towards everyone in the main branch (read Hyuga). He is a natural genius, surpassing those of the main branch, but has a cocky attitude and a saying that "A person cannot change themself".

Neji has a large knowledge of his Byakugan (white eyes), a bloodline limit that allows you to have an unobstructed view of the world around you. It can see through any solid object and can see the tenketsu (chakra holes) of a person, and using his Jyuuken (gentle fist), a tecnique that pushes chakra out of ones hand, can effectively control the flow of chakra within an foe. After the Preliminaries of the Chuunin Exams, he learned in the period of one month Kaiten (Heavenly whirl), a tecnique where one ejects chakra out of their fingertips and spins like a top, creating a barrier of unpentrable chakra around ones body.

= Background = Not much is known about Neji's birth. After his cousin, Hinata of the main branch's, 3rd birthday, Neji was taken by Hiashi Hyuga and had the Hyuga Curse Seal applied to his forehead. This disability of the branch family is the cause for Neji's hatred towards the Main branch and towards Hinata-sama.

As a Genin
Neji is part of a three man cell led by Might Guy, a Taijutsu specialist. His teammates are Rock Lee, who follows and idolizes Gai, and Tenten, a weapons user. By then Neji is considered the #1 rookie in Konohagakure, with Guy's rival, Kakashi Hatake, putting forth his Sasuke Uchiha to challenge Neji.
