I first wrote this up after Neji's death in the manga, but I put it on the back burner with other projects. I found it the other day and decided to revive it. This will not get in the way with my other stories, or my upcoming Across the Kishiverse (name pending) I have hinted at. This was most definitely inspired by The Kazekage of Suna's classic, Signed: From Your Not So Loyal Author. Enjoy!

October 26th-
Death tastes like burnt flesh. It really isn't important to this, but just an observation I felt needed expressed. I just found it odd, since I died from a giant wooden spike through the chest
My name is Neji Hyuga, and I am a ghost. Somehow, I have been given the chance to recount my experience in the spirit realm. Though I do wonder why there is a ghost pen and paper available for me to use, I will not complain. It will be good to get my thoughts straight. Especially because of my new... friends
Right now, there are only three people I can interact with. Well, two people and a dog. Alright, a woman, a ghost, and a dog.
The first is Itachi Uchiha, my fellow ghost and former enemy who was actually a good person.. He has decided that I will be his afterlife buddy and follows me all the time. I think death and redeath knocked a few screws lose. He calls me Neji-kun
The second is Anko Mitarashi. She is alive and annoying. More annoying than Lee, stunningly. The first time she saw me, she threw a kunai at me. The second time, when I was with Itachi, she summoned a snake after us. I wish I didn't have to follow her around, but she is the only connection to the human world we have.
The final one is Akamaru, Kiba's dog. And before you ask, he is terrified shitless whenever Itachi or I are around. He is still useless as a liaison.
I'm happy everything is good and we are at peace, but why am I not? Am I doomed to forever be friends with a deranged Itachi Uchiha and hunted by Anko? Surely Kami has a plan for me. Surely he does.
Right?
Signed
The Great Ghost Neji Hyuga
