◕~ Hey, I am Neji Hyuga. My home is Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里) in the Land of Fire (火の国),where I am a Genin-ranked shinobi. My past...really isn't a peaceful one. Having been born into the lower branch of the Hyuga Clan (日向一族), or the Cadet (分家), I have been branded with the Cadet's curse seal, its purpose declaring my only goal in life: to protect the Main Branch.
However, despite this inevitable "fate," people can indeed choose their own destinies...a strong-willed person told me that once. Apart from this, my father, also being part of the Cadet, passed away as a sacrifice in order to protect the Hyuga Clan. For many years I was bitter...I held nothing in my heart but anger for the Main Branch of my family, my own cousins Hinata and Hanabi being members of it, along with their father and my uncle, Hiashi. I also held a very foolish idea close to me; that no living person has the power to change who they are, no matter how hard they try. Once I found out the truth, I discarded this belief of mine, finally realizing how wrong I had been. All I wish for, is forgiveness from everyone I have treated unfairly. My friend and teammate, Tenten, helps me train my rotation jutsu, and just simply training in general. I am very protective of my friends, and will guard them with my life.~◕

◕~A Poem to Tenten~◕
At dawn, at sunrise, who do I see?
A beautiful figure standing over me.
I close my eyes, try to catch some sleep,
But that beautiful figure is watching me.
With an outstretched arm, she strokes my hair,
I slowly awake; oh why does she care?
She continues to caress me; I don't know how,
I'm sure that Hiashi is watching us now.
With a frown on his face, he observes the scene;
His fist clenches tight, his anger towards me.
I know he is outraged, that I don't resist,
But my uncle is cruel, to keep me from bliss.
Love is love and hate is hate;
Why must I follow this dull Hyuga fate?
Why is he blinded? Why can't he see?
The importance of love and being happy?
My soul is a dove, it needs to soar.
I'll fly with Tenten, not caged anymore!
