If you rely on subtitles alone (at least the DB version I watched), it won't make perfect sense. Not speaking Japanese, I can't say what Neji was actually telling, if compared to the subtitles. However, the images were right, although it's a matter of taste how you do the trick.

But anyway, the south lies halfway between the hour hand of a watch and the 12 position on the clock face, when the hour hand is pointing to the sun. Neji showed the students that they should take the halfway point between the hour hand and the 12 position, and face that halfway point to the sun, and south would be where the 12 position of the clock face is. That is of course in practice the exact same thing as facing the hour hand to the sun and then marking the halfway point to 12 as south.

But that's the trick. Neji is a smart fellow (does he even have a watch, himself? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])
