This is a poem from Neji's point of view before the chuunin exams

Long ago it seemed to be

But not too long in honesty

I once had a hope to roam and be free

But it was all taken away from me

On the day of my birth four years past

I was sealed with the curse of the Hyuuga's past

To obey and be slave to only the head

Never to choose and only to serve

That is my fate that cannot be fought

Long ago my dream was to be free

But a caged bird forever shall I be
