Hyuga Neji, a genius of the Hyuga family, but because of the division, the clan has limited his ability to follow the boundaries of his blood, and as a division, he has to sacrifice himself to dedicate himself to the clan, and his father died like this. He is jealous of Hinata, who is mediocre but valuable in the clan. He hates the system but is pessimistic about his destiny. He was subdued by Naruto's mouth during the Chunin exam. Finally, he believes that fate can be changed, and he realizes that his father is willing to do so. He died, so he no longer hated the clan, and gradually became attracted to Hinata in the process of getting along, and was convinced by Naruto. and people sacrificed their lives.
His growth process is roughly divided into the pessimistic period of underappreciated talent, the period of having confidence to overcome the pessimistic period, the period of being influenced by love and reshaping the outlook on life, and the period of destiny that he once resented with different purposes, so Neji has changed his destiny, and Die right.
In this era of self-esteem, resistance, and wantonness, Neji's fate seems to have a religious sense of fate and joy in suffering, but in fact it is not. This anime was serialized after 2000. The characters in this period, like Luffy, Naruto, and Rock Lee, all have stubborn ambition, purity and love. Neji seems to be the opposite of these mainstream characters in everyone's eyes. He didn't seem to break free from his fate and died like his father. His personality was arrogant and harsh. His personal efforts couldn't match his bloodline, but in my opinion, he still didn't break away from the mainstream values of juvenile manga during this period. He found his true direction. , but his direction was not determined from the beginning like Naruto and Luffy, but gradually formed during his growth. He broke away from the "ego" caused by misunderstanding the cause of his father's death. He is not as religious as preached Patience is to maintain the distorted social order. He was not tamed by reality and institutionalized because of his inability to choose this path, but he just had to sacrifice for Hinata and Naruto in order to realize his own value. But at this time Hinata was not the clan, but Hinata, his cousin and beloved. Naruto at this time was not the opponent he looked down on but eventually defeated him, but the existence he followed and assisted. Therefore, the word tragedy is a misunderstanding and humiliation of his value, and those who take the initiative to sacrifice for love and responsibility are never pitiful.
From another point of view, even if he died for the clan, there is no shame. Confucius said that at fifty, he knew the mandate of heaven, at sixty his ears were obedient, and at seventy he followed his heart's desire without breaking the rules. Is it because the old man does not fight recklessly because he is timid? No, it's because they have a broader mind and knowledge. Similarly, the rules of the Zongfen family were at least reasonable at the time. There is nothing wrong with taming fate and changing their original intentions at this level. And as far as the real world is concerned, this is actually everyone’s experience, because changing oneself is a neutral word. Change not only means compromise, but also shaping. The original intention of life is not the most important thing, but the process. Fighting for the same is meaningful and admirable, but it's not Neji's path.
Neji was another manifestation of the mainstream values of juvenile manga at that time. His ambition was to break free from the fate of the clan, and he had already broken free, because he was not forced to die by the clan, not because of the rules, but because of love. Die with faith, even if you reach the same destination, it does not mean that it is worthless. His pureness is to remain proud, tolerant and gentle, and not afraid of death. His love is precious in sacrifice and fulfillment. People say that loving for the sake of being loved is a human being, and loving for the sake of love is God. He has achieved spiritual sublimation. Change is not shame, weakness and mistakes, conforming does not mean being imprisoned, Neji has changed his destiny, he has never been a caged bird.
