Neji Death Secret - 6 Things You Don't Know About His Death

Neji was introduced as a strong shinobi from the Hyuga clan. His strength was proven several times, and people enjoyed watching him. The character, however, met a horrible end during the Fourth Great Ninja War. He died while attempting to protect Hinata Hyuga from an attack. Many fans, however, have questioned the necessity of this character's demise. Here are 6 Neji death secrets that you don't know
 

1. Neji changed his fate because of Naruto

 Neji was bound to serve the Main Family and die for them if the need arose (as he was a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family). This caused him to believe that everyone's fate was predetermined, but Naruto finally altered his mind. In the end, Neji defied fate by losing his life for a cause he chose rather than because he was destined to do so, like his father had done.

2. Neji almost made Naruto break his words

Naruto had promised to protect all of his friends, but he was unable to save Neji. Neji's death temporarily lost Naruto's motivation to fight, tempting him to let the Infinite Tsukuyomi occur. However, Hinata and Kurama persuaded Naruto to continue battling. Naruto recognized that if he surrendered, Neji's sacrifice would have been in vain. Because Naruto and his allies won the war, Neji's sacrifice helped preserve the world, and his memory lives on.

3. Neji appears before the battle between Naruto and Sasuke.

 Fans of the Naruto anime got to see Neji one more time before Naruto faced Sasuke. Naruto experiences a vision of Neji saying something from the past: "Naruto, your eyes are sometimes better than mine." Sasuke is in the dark. Get going now. You are the only one who can save him.

 Boruto (Bolt) Uzumaki is the son of Naruto and Hinata, and he was named after his uncle Neji, according to Masashi Kishimoto. This is obvious because the name Neji means screw, and bolt is another word for screw.

5. Neji Death Secret: Rock Lee was devastated by his death

 Neji used to hate Rock Lee, because of him weak and inferior. Rock Lee always trained hard to compete with Neji and prove that the former was indeed a worthy opponent. After Naruto's match with Neji, he became open-minded and gladly accepted Rock Lee as a rival. Rock Lee and Neji's friendship grew over the years, and Neji promised to be his lifelong opponent. Then Lee was heartbroken when he discovered Neji's dying body and grieved with Neji in his arms. Rock Lee almost gave up fighting, but he persisted in order to honor Neji's sacrifice and wishes.

6. Neji Death Secret: The true reason why Neji died

If you've ever wondered why Neji was killed off, you're not alone. Fortunately, Naruto's author has stated why he felt the death was necessary. Masashi Kishimoto revealed in an interview published shortly before the premiere of The Last: Naruto the Movie that Neji's death was a method he utilized to draw Hinata closer to Naruto. Kishimoto revealed that he had previously decided to make Hinata a prominent heroine in Naruto, and Neji's death helped bring her closer to Naruto. Hinata may have stood up to pain in the past, but her willingness to protect Naruto from the Ten-Tails once again demonstrated his love. Instead of having her die as a result of her decision, Kishimoto felt like Neji was a good substitute.
