#honestly rereading the scene it seems so explicitly about saving naruto that i'm kinda surprised people do think it was about saving hinata

y'know, the more i think about it, the more i genuinely think that Neji was trying to save Naruto, and just happened to save Hinata because they both jumped in the path of danger to save Naruto at the same time.

Like, Neji's dying speech acknowledges that Hinata tried to save Naruto, but Neji talks/thinks primarily about how much Naruto's life is worth and the meaningful impact Naruto had on Neji's life. I think he fully intended to die for Naruto.

#hyuuga neji #naruto #i'm talking specifically about the manga here i never had and never will watch the anime #i'm sorry hinata i love you hinata but i just don't think that neji would wanna die for you considering your family history #also real talk: could neji have been in love with naruto? #is a thought i want to entertain only in fandom where neji is still alive #there is ripe comedic potential in a neji vs. hinata romcom for naruto's heart #(neji would win. i'm sorry hinata but neji would 100% win he has WAY more chemistry with naruto) #santagno #sure i'll look up and add the ship name for this as well i guess: #nejinaru #honestly rereading the scene it seems so explicitly about saving naruto that i'm kinda surprised people do think it was about saving hinata #neji hyuga #Top Tino Post
