12/17/03
Season-only
Defeated by Naruto, Neji is being taken to the hospital, when Neji's uncle Hiashi appears. He has come, to tell Neji the truth about the time his father Hizashi died. Neji has harbored a grudge against Hiashi for his father's death. However, Hiashi explains that he himself had intended to die, but that Hizashi had chosen his "destiny" and death. Upon hearing those words, Neji begins to ponder if a person's "destiny" is predetermined as he had believed, or if, as Naruto said, it is chosen by oneself.
