Wow, I'm amazed Neji would willingly admit a glaring weakness like that.
Hmm. I'll probably rework Neji's line here a bit to soften it.
I'm not sure that that's such a good idea. I think that Neji *would* say
something like that. He's a genius, yes, but in order to develop - on his
own - the family arts, he has to have a good concept of who he is himself.
And that includes his own limitations.
The fact that he's telling this to Sakura could be construed as a gesture
of respect, in that she nearly kicked his ass and taught him about
underevaluating his opponents. It might be good to have, instead, Sakura
recognize that as exactly that, even feel flattered for a moment or two.
Good points.
Right, because he was EVER so easy on Hinata in the FIRST Chuunin
exams...
His hatred of Hinata at the time was personal, an issue of main versus
branch family. He barely knows Sakura. There's a difference.
Indeed, but I think there's a need to make Sakura's reasoning more
explicit here.
Gee, she's nice.
It tends to be drowned out by Gaara's murderous psychosis, but his
siblings are kind of jerks too. :)
Makes one wonder how Gaara eventually becomes Kazekage. I mean, other than
being the old Kazekage's kid.
I suspect it probably involved Gaara announcing one day that he was now
Kazekage, and nobody feeling lucky enough to risk arguing with him. :)
Thank you for the comments!
