In Naruto as Neji's brother

Nieki Hyuga was an outsider—a soul from another world, reincarnated into the Naruto universe as the elder brother of Neji Hyuga.



On the night his father, Hizashi, was sacrificed for the sake of the clan’s twisted politics, something inside Nieki awakened. His Byakugan changed. Mutated. With it came a forbidden ability: the power to absorb and evolve using the eyes of fallen Hyuga.



From that moment, his fate diverged.



No longer content with being a silent branch member under the cruel yoke of the Caged Bird Seal, Nieki begins to reshape the destiny of the Hyuga clan from the shadows. While the village praises him as one of Konoha’s “Twin Prodigies” alongside Uchiha Itachi, few know the truth: Nieki is building toward something darker—something irreversible.



Years later, as the bloodline of the main family lies shattered and only Hinata remains, Neji confronts his brother:



“Why did you betray the village, betray our clan?”



Nieki's answer is cold and final.



“Admiration is the emotion most distant from understanding.”



“The Hyuga Nieki you knew never existed from the start.”
