Even though it's been a long time, maybe you don't know some facts about this cool Neji Hyuga. Neji is one of the Hyuga Clan members who are already very famous for their prowess in Konoha and even throughout the country.

Neji Hyuga can indeed be said to be one or even the strongest member of the Hyuga Clan. His ability is no longer in doubt considering that he is from the Branch Family but in fact there are many techniques from the Hyuga nuclear family that he can master easily.

Curious about the facts about him? Read more on these 10 facts about Neji Hyuga that you didn't know!

10. His First Debut

Genin from all over the world gather for the Chunin exams, there are many interesting things happening. This exam includes many challenges and obstacles that are very difficult to test the prowess of aspiring Shinobi.

It was at this time that Neji Hyuga first appeared in the manga and also the Naruto anime series. His appearance was accompanied by a team from Might Guy which also included Rock Lee and Tenten.

9. Older Than Naruto

The second Neji Hyuga fact is that he is older than Naruto. Naruto has a lot of friends his age, but Neji is a year or two older than Naruto, who was 14 years old at the time of the exam, while Naruto was still 12 years old.

Neji's older age also makes him the sister-in-law of the daughter of the Hyuga Clan leader, Hinata Hyuga.

8. Has Byakugan

Every member of the Hyuga Clan must have a Kekkei Genkai whose name is Byakugan. The Byakugan is a power that can give a person sharp eyesight even to the point of penetrating inanimate objects to see the flow of his enemy's chakra.

This Byakugan can also be used to find an opponent's weak point by locking their chakra flow. This ability makes Neji even more powerful plus the power of his Taijutsu.

7. Master Juken

Neji Hyuga's next interesting fact is his mastery of fighting techniques as a Juken Master. Juken is a fighting technique belonging to the Hyuga Clan that can directly lock a person's chakra flow with one hit at a chakra point. This punch is very effective to paralyze the opponent even to death.

Neji has been trained by his father since childhood to be able to use Juken effectively and also be agile. Even though he is not from the Hyuga nuclear family, Neji still learns the Juken technique that is forbidden to the Branch Family and is finally able to master it very well.

6. Too Great For Branch Family

The Hyuga family has always had a rather complicated family realm, namely the Main Family and the Branch Family. Neji comes from the Branch Family because his father is the younger brother of Hiashi Hyga who is the leader of the clan as well as the Main Family.

Even so, Neji was able to prove that he was actually too great to be in the Branch Family category. He can do many things that even Hinata can't master even at a very young age.

5. Become a 15-year-old Jonin

This interesting fact of Neji Hyuga, maybe you didn't know before. Neji failed in the Chunin Exams because he lost to Naruto, who had his uppercut from underground. This did not make Neji discouraged and decided to join the exam again the following year.

Neji can pass the exam with a perfect score above the average of his friends. This made him immediately appointed as a Jonin so that he became one of the youngest Jonin members.

4. Has 3 Chakra Flow Elements

The average shinobi in the Naruto world has access to 2 chakra flow elements. This chakra flow element is the basis for them to make Ninjutsu such as Chidori, Seiton, and other jutsu.

Neji on the other hand can control not only 2 but 3 chakra flow elements. He can control fire, wind and water at the age of 18. It was a very extraordinary thing for a young shinobi of his age.

3. Sacrificing His Life

This fact of Neji Hyuga makes fans sad because he has to go forever. Neji died in the Fourth Shinobi World War while fighting Madara and Obito. There was a barrage of attacks from the Juubi that led to Hinata so she immediately put on her body.

Neji had told Naruto that now he had more than one life in his hands because Neji had handed over the task of taking care of his brother-in-law to Naruto.

2. Almost Match with Hinata

It's not a strange thing for fellow Hyuga Clan members to marry each other even within their own family members. Neji and Hinata if from the family tree should have been matched to marry as adults to maintain the purity of the Byakugan and Hyuga blood.

This was not accomplished because Neji died while protecting Hinata. Neji gave his trust to take care of Hinata to Naruto which was finally granted.

1. Boruto Has His Name

Neji Hyuga's last interesting fact is the name he uses for Boruto. Boruto in English means "bolt" or a screwdriver which turns out to have the same meaning as the name Neji.

Masashi Kishimoto confirmed this by saying that this was a form of appreciation for Neji. Naruto and Hinata were able to unite after Neji sacrificed his life for Hinata. Himawari's name also still has something to do with their beloved uncle.
