Or something like that. The whole Chunin Exam arc for Hinata's character had to do with her being a weak candidate to where she was replaced by Hanabi, and the comparisons to Neji whom was born to the lower branch, who far surpassed her in everything.

He was also cocky as hell too at the same time which made things confusing, but I guess his un-confident nature came from the part of wanting his father to recognize him, to where he would do anything, by any means necessary.
