I think Neji is still alive.... and when he recovers I think he should learn from this fight and start to learn some medium to long range ninjutsu... seems a pity he ended up with Gai as a sensei... he has a completely different taijutsu style to him and it seems he hasn't taught his team any ninjutusu... though Tenten did during the the Chunnin prelims do that jutsu with the two scrolls and stuff....
