Konoha Chunin Exams Timeline -
Because of Sasuke's wish, Hyuga Hizashi was also resurrected.
Having learned of Neji's secrets over the years, Hizashi, as Neji's father, felt extremely guilty and told Neji the truth.
This includes the fact that he did not die in place of the head of the main family because he was a member of a branch family, but rather he protected his older brother as a younger brother who wanted to safeguard family ties.
And as a Konoha ninja, he sacrificed his life to protect the hard-won peace after the Third Shinobi World War.
Meanwhile, Hyuga Hizashi recounts the true reason why, in Neji's childhood memories, Hiashi-sama suddenly used the Caged Bird Seal on his younger brother, causing him to collapse in pain.
Hyuga Hizashi's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Neji, your talent is no less than that of any child from the main branch, so I don't want you to be bound by the Caged Bird Seal like me..."
At that time, Hyuga Hizashi harbored murderous intent towards Hinata, and that intent was sensed by Hyuga Hiashi, which is why he used the Caged Bird Seal on Hyuga Hizashi as a warning.
However, this explanation alone is still not enough to make Hyuga Neji fully accept the kinship that has been distorted under the control of the Caged Bird.
Regardless, his father's resurrection was a source of great joy for Hyuga Neji.
Therefore, this arrogant young man went out of his way to thank the equally arrogant Uchiha Sasuke and promised that if he ever needed Sasuke's help in the future, he could ask him for help in return for today's favor.
Incidentally, because Sasuke made this wish during the Chunin Exams timeline, his popularity, along with that of the Uchiha clan, surged dramatically.
In the 60th year of Konoha, only thirteen or fourteen years had passed since the end of the Third Shinobi World War. In this war, which was like a meat grinder, countless Konoha ninjas died.
For most ordinary ninja families, the fear of resurrecting Madara Uchiha was far less important than returning their loved ones to them.
The Uchiha clan's territory was reopened. Those who still had houses returned to their homes, while those who didn't ask Hashirama Senju and Tenzo for help in building houses using Wood Release.
Madara Uchiha could have used Wood Release to build houses because he had Hashirama's cells, but he didn't want to, and no one could force him to.
In just two or three hours, the gate of the Uchiha clan patriarch's residence was almost broken down by people!
No matter how much I refused, the gifts piled up in the yard.
The Uchiha men guarding the gates of the Uchiha clan's territory went from being initially wary and agitated to becoming completely calm and even nodding to the Konoha villagers who greeted them—all within just over two hours.
During a discussion on the topic of "regret," when the name "Hyuga Neji" appeared in the comments, Hyuga Hizashi was visiting his older brother Hyuga Hiashi's house with his son Hyuga Neji.
Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga naturally needed to accompany them.
Bullet comments:
【I've been waiting, why hasn't anyone mentioned Neji yet?!】 After this comment appeared with 19971 likes, they were reminded by their clansmen to use their Byakugan to see through the comments outside the house.
"A strategist's son is a strategist, a Hokage's son is a Hokage, and a scapegoat's son is a scapegoat." This phrase, which garnered 6364 likes, flooded social media. Even those with sharp minds, like Naruto Uzumaki, and even Konohamaru still at the Ninja Academy, understood its meaning!
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Putting aside the first two sentences, becoming Hokage or a strategist isn't something you can necessarily achieve without talent, effort, and ability.
In particular, becoming Hokage is not something that can be achieved simply by having talent, hard work, and ability. The most important thing is that you can only become Hokage by gaining the recognition of everyone.
The last line, "The son of a scapegoat is a scapegoat," was not the most disgusting thing for Shikamaru's family or Naruto's family, but for Neji Hyuga, who was insulted as a scapegoat along with his father!
At the same time, Hiashi Hyuga naturally felt guilty.
And through the comments, we learned that Neji's older brother in the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline sacrificed himself to save himself and Naruto. [From the moment Hyuga Neji appeared, I knew he would eventually die.]
During the final Chunin Exams, Naruto told Hyuga Neji that he would help him resolve the issues between the Hyuga clan and the branch family after he became Hokage.
But how could the main family and branch families, which have been passed down since the Warring States period, be changed so easily?
Not to mention the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan, even the main and branch families of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon were eventually wiped out, leaving only Otsutsuki Toneri.
It's clear that even if the Sage of Six Paths and his brother came, let alone the Hokage, they still wouldn't be able to solve the problem.
However, this conflicts with Naruto's ninja way and the core values of the entire Naruto series. The easiest way to resolve this is through a plot-driven death to fulfill his promise to Neji.

Are there no longer any caged birds among the new generation?
The intelligence ninjas from each timeline began writing furiously once again.
Naruto Uzumaki, whose thoughts were disrupted by the barrage of comments during the Fourth Shinobi World War, never imagined that it was his promise during the Chunin Exams that led to Neji's death!
At the same time, his confidence collapsed because of the messages in the comments that "Naruto Uzumaki cannot change the Hyuga clan" and "Naruto Uzumaki cannot fulfill his promise to Neji Hyuga".
Speak your mind, and keep your word.
To become Hokage, he must persevere on the path before him, carrying on his master's ideals and the regrets of others, and forging ahead with difficulty. This is clearly his path as a ninja!
Why would anyone say he didn't keep his promise to Neji?!
Did my future self really fail to keep what I told Neji?!

Hinata Hyuga, feeling blamed, lowered her head and apologized to Neji Hyuga, who had been resurrected. She said that if it weren't for her, Neji wouldn't have died.
Naruto: "No! If it weren't to protect me, Hinata, you wouldn't have rushed over here!!" Naruto felt anxious, mainly because he was worried that he hadn't kept his promise and had also implicated Hinata and Neji.
The Allied Shinobi Forces comforted Naruto, saying, "You fought the Ten-Tails to protect us and the shinobi world, which is why you couldn't avoid the enemy's attacks, right?"
"It's us adults who should feel ashamed to rely on a teenager for protection!"
"No, no! Shouldn't the real culprits be Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha? Why are you all fighting over who got the last drop of hatred?!"
Gaara: "Don't let those gods' thoughts distract you! Naruto, this isn't like you at all!"
Neji Hyuga, who had been silent until now, sighed and said, "I just want to try to be like my father, to protect family ties and to break free from the cage and fly freely."

Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
Nara Shikamaru counted the number of people and was basically certain: "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, me, Choji, Ino, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, and Neji, Lee, and Tenten, who are one year older than us, make exactly twelve people."
Three years ago, they participated in the Chunin Exams together.
Of the twelve, Neji has now been sacrificed.
Although no one blames Naruto and Hinata, and people don't understand or are angry that the all-knowing gods don't blame the person who killed Neji.
Instead, they blamed Naruto and Hinata, whom Neji wanted to protect?
However, the pain of sacrificing their comrades still caused Naruto and Hinata to feel deep remorse.

It makes Naruto sound like a toad from Mount Myōboku.
What are those all-knowing gods saying? It's completely incomprehensible!
On the battlefield, you really can't think about so much; all you feel is shock and anger. Then you have to calm yourself down immediately. At that moment, you can't think about pain or discomfort. The real pain only comes after you've calmed down and gone back to the battlefield, like a tidal wave.
That feeling was suffocating. Don't ask me how I know; I don't want to say. [19841 people liked this. Neji's body is still there, already cold and devoid of any warmth.]
But Neji wasn't the only one on this battlefield.
Even now, the living ninjas from Konoha, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure have not truly felt their deaths.
So many people died in this battle that even the pain and fear became numbing.
When a companion dies beside you, there is even a sliver of relief amidst the fear, a relief that you were the one who survived.
The moment I truly felt the pain was when I returned to the village, calmed down, and wanted to knock on the door of the guy in the next dormitory to ask if he wanted to have a drink together, only to realize that he would never open the door again, smiling and saying, "I have a mission tomorrow, so I can't drink too much, but a small drink is fine."
It reminded me of the photo he showed me before he left for the war, saying that he was getting married next month. After four or five years of unrequited love and dating, it was finally coming to fruition.
Upon returning home, his parents clutched his belongings, struggling to hold back their tears and grief, repeatedly asking, "Where is my son? Why didn't he come back?"
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't forgive himself. If he had reacted in time and stood in front of Neji, [I just want to ask why Hiashi Hyuga didn't stand in front of Hinata or Neji back then!

His younger brother, Hizashi, died for him, but in the end, he couldn't even protect the son that Hizashi cared about most.
Just two days ago, Hiashi met with him because of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Hiashi could hardly imagine what would happen if he knew that he had failed to protect Neji and instead caused Neji to sacrifice himself for the main family like him. Would he be even more disappointed in his brother and the entire Hyuga clan?
It's actually quite easy to understand. In reality, Hiashi Hyuga was too focused on nurturing Hanabi, and he was probably completely unaware of Hinata's feelings for Naruto.
However, Neji knew very well that Hinata was willing to die for Naruto, so when he saw Naruto in danger, he almost immediately equated Hinata with being in danger as well.
Even if Hiashi Hyuga's eyes reacted by then, his body didn't.
