In Konoha, I Am Neji Hyuga

On the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji Hyuga dies to the Ten-Tails' Wood-Style Cutting technique, but his soul is saved by his resurrected ancestor, Hamura Otsutsuki.

As Hamura explains, Neji learns the truth about the world and the true nature of the Caged Bird Seal.

After inheriting everything from his ancestor, his soul is reincarnated back to the time after his father, Hizashi, gave his life willingly.

Bearing hatred for his enemies and the mission entrusted to him by his ancestor, Neji begins a very different life.

"Inugami!"

"Wakagari!"

"Mokuzo!"

The chakra manifestations of a white dragon-headed serpent, a blazing crimson bird, and a blue, surging whale batter Six Paths Madara's body to the brink of destruction.

Madara: "The Byakugan is this powerful? Neji Hyuga, I grant you the title of the strongest in the shinobi world!"

In his Six Paths form, Madara voices his heartfelt admiration in his final moments.
