Faced with the danger of losing everything, our hero of the Hyuga clan sacrifices his life for Naruto and Hinata. In his last few seconds, Neji uses his own body to shield them from the sharp spikes shooting down from the sky above. This poignant farewell is played out with dignity and he encourages Naruto right up until his last breath--a truly moving scene.

In the main plot, Naruto Uzumaki is not slain. He survives the entire series, including Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the sequel. Though they are not included in the official canon, characters like Madara, Kaguya, or even Sasuke may be portrayed as the reason for his death in various fan theories or alternate universe (AU) scenarios.

The Cursed Seal fundamentally reshapes his entire worldview, which is the most interesting part of his arc for me. We meet him as this rigid fatalist, convinced destiny is written at birth because of the branch family seal, and he wields that bitterness like a weapon against Hinata. His development isn't just about getting stronger to beat people; it's about unraveling that internalized dogma. The seal is the physical proof of his 'fate', so when he starts questioning its meaning—especially after Naruto's whole deal—his character actually grows.
Seeing him go from using the seal's power out of hatred to, eventually, sacrificing himself to protect others without a second thought? That's the full-circle moment. The mark never goes away, but what it symbolizes to him completely changes. It stops being a chain and becomes, weirdly, part of his identity as a protector. His end isn't about being free from the seal, but being free from the idea it controlled him.

One of most painful moments in "Naruto Shippuden" is certainly with Neji Hyuga. This occurs during the Fourth Great Ninja War, and specifically in episode 364 entitled "The Ties That Bind." In order to safeguard Naruto and Hinata, Neji sacrifices himself; this lone bird then flew off wonderfully from his hand - with a scene like this that deeply moved fans around the globe. This episode underscores once again the strong bonds in the Naruto series and how much those characters have grown.

Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki, the beloved protagonist from the 'Naruto' series, doesn't meet his end in the series. Despite facing numerous life-threatening situations and battles against dangerous foes, he remains alive, allowing his legacy to carry on through his son, Boruto, in the sequel series 'Boruto: Naruto Next Generations'.

As a peace-loving and big-hearted ninja, Naruto Uzumaki from 'Naruto Shippuden' doesn't have that many kills under his belt. Notably, he put an end to the immortal Akatsuki member, Kakuzu, although it could be argued that Kakashi helped considerably.

Neji's long hair always struck me as a deliberate choice by Kishimoto to visually set him apart from the other Hyuga clan members. While most Hyuga have shorter, more practical cuts (like Hinata or Hiashi), Neji's flowing dark locks give him this elegant, almost rebellious vibe. It mirrors his personality—restrained yet passionate, disciplined but simmering with defiance.
I love how his hairstyle evolves too; as a kid, it's wild and untamed, reflecting his raw anger. Post-timeskip, it's neatly tied back, showing his maturity after overcoming his fate obsession. The length also emphasizes his graceful taijutsu movements—those spins during Rotation look way more dramatic with hair whipping around! Honestly, it's just chef's kiss for character design.

Neji Hyuga's hair is iconic, but deceptively tricky to nail. The first challenge is that asymmetrical undercut—one side shaved close, the other long enough to drape over his shoulder. I used a wig because my real hair isn't nearly thick enough. The key was teasing the roots for volume, then flat-ironing the length to get that straight, silky look 'Naruto' characters are known for. A bit of hair wax helped tame flyaways and create those sharp angles near his forehead.
For the headband, I repurposed an old black belt and stitched the Leaf Village symbol onto it. The real secret? Bobby pins. So many bobby pins. That long side tends to flip up awkwardly, so I secured it behind my ear with pins hidden under the strands. Pro cosplayers often use wig glue for extra hold during conventions, but I found hairspray worked fine for a one-day event. Funny how such a 'simple' hairstyle took two hours to perfect!

This one was particularly heartbreaking and significant for the Hidden Rain Village because Jiraiya was the mentor of the series's main character, Naruto. Following his investigation of the Akatsuki organization, brings him to an unwelcome end. It is an important turning-point in the narrative.

Naruto, who we've idolized since childhood for his determination and growth, can't possibly be dead, right?! Well, as of now in the Boruto series, he isn't. We've seen him in dire situations against powerful opponents, but our beloved Seventh Hokage hasn't met his end yet. There were few misinterpretations about his death in the Boruto series but as far as the latest sources, he's alive and kicking. Sit tight for the upcoming Boruto episodes and keep your fingers crossed for Naruto.
