i agree with Hayate, Neji needs to learn and develop a better ninjutsu. He has the da best defense, he has the best taijutsu, he has the byakugan, he has the best blood flowing within him, he has good grasp of tactics, BUT he lacks ninjutsu. If neji learns ninjutsu or genjutsu he will be even deadlier. IMO Neji is the best close range genin ninja (2nd Lee, 3rd Naruto), if Neji learns how to fight far range too...den he'll surely be a true genius. BUT i bet he did learn something new...and hes gonna use it to win.
