#i fucking struggled on my rewatch
Watching back these episodes on the literal hyuga clan slavery is actually unbearable now that we know absolutely no justice was served and everyone with a hand in that travesty got away with it. I literally cannot believe this arc about a 4 year old being branded and told his only reason for living was to protect the main family ended with him doing exactly that and dying for the main family. You basically just rewarded their bullshit. Hiashi should have been the one to die for neji, if only for the thematic pay off. I kill him every night in my dreams.
