Well I'm not sure how Neji surviving would have impacted Toneri's plans but I do know that it was his death and Hinata bringing Naruto back to himself that made it possible for Naruto to bring virtually the entire shinobi world together agnaist Madara and Obito, via the chakra cloaks he gave virtually every member of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Besides I suspect Naruto's rekindled desire to fight was contributory to Obito's emergence from the darkness and his consequent turning on Madara. Also if Neji had survived that scene with Naruto and Sasukes Susano clad Nine Tails Transformation wouldn't have been nearly as poignant because one of Naruto's classmates would have had to be left behind when they did that halo of Rasengan thing. Finally I have just one more thing to say and that is given that Toneri could pose a challenge to Naruto, who along side Sasuke had sealed away a veritable goddess (aka Kaguya), probably means that unless Neji grew as much comparatively as Gaara did between the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War and the Toneri incident that Neji would be little better equipped to handle Toneri than Naruto was at first.
