. . . Anything new? Besides the fact you don't like me.

Not... really. I wouldn't say Neji dislike Sasuke, per se. His most recent memory is making him reassess a little, but the fact is he doesn't remember Sasuke from home at all and they haven't really interacted all that much in Aather. Sasuke kind of got under his skin at first, but since Neji's recovered some skills, he's not as sensitive to feeling challenged.

The thing with Sakura drove home the fact that Sasuke's a great deal less rational than he pretends to be, for Neji. Not that that's shocking, but like I said, they don't interact all that much. Sasuke was just throwing out things that were just... frankly impossible, and clearly trying to run damage control on the situation, and doing it in a way that Neji knew would go nowhere the second Naruto showed up.

Neji might seek Sasuke out at some point because of his last memory to gauge if he ought to be working toward something or operating with that in mind, but at the moment he 1) doesn't see that it would be productive, and 2) knows that trying would cause a political nightmare with other Konoha people, with an emphasis on Itachi, who already hates Iolite, so it's not at all a priority to start picking fights.

Reverse?

They really need to interact more because right now his opinion of Neji is sort of neutral. Sasuke's resolution of leaving his world behind sort of made him put everyone he knew/belongs to it in this group of people he should let go of. It's something he does in canon when he left Konoha, because he's capable of prioritizing and redirecting his feelings to something else. So since he didn't have a strong relationship with Neji it's even more easy to do it with him. The last conversation they had frustrated him but he was stressed out, working under little sleep and dealing with a lot of things at once.

AAALSO TELL ME IF YOU WANT THEM TO THREAD. I'm never sure if I should do it or not. If they do and Neji mentions anything about that memory Sasuke might just tell him he has no intentions of going back to their world and that he better be powerful back home, because he sure might have tried to burn Konoha to the ground.

Five things Neji wants to get.

If you want to thread, then they should? I'd like to have them play more, but at the same time, if Neji doesn't ping, then go with it. You don't have to force it if he's not interesting to Sasuke.

But if you want to tag him, then by all means, go for it. I will pretty much never say he shouldn't.

Things Neji wants:

...Kaiten.

64 palms.

Chakra control...

And things that are not jutsu!

A hot water heater. And nice shampoo and conditioner.

Neji's needs are few and simple. >.>

Is Sasuke going to kill Vincent?

It's not that he doesn't ping him. IT'S BEEN MOSTLY INSECURITY ON MY PART. I also want to tag Neji with Kite. :x

. . . No, but he really wanted to. He told Vincent he didn't want him near his brother before. However Vincent actually went and kissed him. But killing him would only create conflict and he's not supposed to hurt the heroes, so he wouldn't actually do it. Besides, he'd have to revive him.

How are Neji and Sakura doing?

Tag Neji with Kite any time! Neji should play with Tiger's Eye more anyway. They're the only team that I think he actually likes as a team. XD

Better... than... they were. Neji didn't make a super awesome first impression on her, because he was... Neji. And then when he found out that she'd been hurt, he went and made her cry, and responded badly at first to how defensive she got and how aggressive Turquoise was about it.

But, he's made an effort to smooth things over, and he feels a bit better about it. He offered to help Sakura train in evasion, which mostly comes down to trying to hit her and making her dodge, but that seems pretty true to a lot of Narutoverse training, and it's good for her. And she responded well. So that's okay.

Neji is in kind of a weird place with Sakura, and his most recent memory doesn't change that. I don't know that he likes her per se, but he doesn't dislike her either. He respects her in two of the three memories he's had with her—healing Hinata, and working with her to rescue Gaara. She was competent there, and she had skills he can value. He also has a sense of obligation to her since he knows she saved his cousin's life, and that it was important to him at the time. The most recent memory is less something he respects, because she clearly couldn't deal with Sasuke business. But his sense of dealing with that is that it also means in context that he has an obligation to make up for his ally's weakness. Obviously, the other Konoha nin were going to pick up the slack there? From his perspective there.

It's kind of a unique position for someone in Aather, and particularly someone on another team.

How is Sasuke dealing with Sakura?
