Bird in a Moon Cage: Neji's Road to Broken Dreams

As a once-in-a-century genius, Hyuga Neji has seen through the coldness of fate since he was a child. His father's sacrifice and family prejudice made him convinced that his life was already doomed and he could not change it. It wasn't until the Chunin Exam that he met Uzumaki Naruto, who never accepted his fate. The words "You can break your own destiny" were like a ray of light, shattering the despair he had held on to for many years. From then on, Neji slowly transformed in the bond. However, the real test is not on the battlefield, but on people's hearts and choices. At the end of the illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi, he saw clearly his original destiny - to die in battle to protect Naruto and Hinata.
