What If Naruto and Neji Were Reborn - And Neji Didn't Die This Time?

Neji Hyuga wakes up in his five-year-old body with the memory of the wooden spike still burning in his chest—and this time, he refuses to accept his fate. In this alternate timeline, both Neji and Naruto have returned to the past with the minds of the men they became. What starts as a silent recognition between two dead men transforms into a secret alliance that threatens the very foundations of the Hidden Leaf—from the Hyuga clan's cursed seal to the darkness buried beneath the village's highest offices. As their paths converge, a pattern emerges that suggests their rebirth was never an accident. This is a fan-made exploration based on the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto.
