there is a reason he needed to learn good long range jutsu, because he knew about the Byakugan&#39;s weak point and its limitations but still didnt do anything about it.

its kinda inevitible that he&#39;ll fight someone smart enough to see its weakness, he just didnt think far enough.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Actually in the chapter it was stated that the whole purpose of Neji/Hyuuga&#39;s kaiten WAS to make-up for this weakness/blindspot. So, I don&#39;t know what you are talking about. He was just outsmarted, that is all. And how exactly would a long range jutsu help him, he has no idea where he is. Even if he had one he wouldn&#39;t be able to hit him with it without knowing where he is. It would be much smarter for him to concoct some strategy to track down opponents to get them to close combat to take advantage of his jyuuken instead of some long range jutsu.

Also in one of the posts about only Uchiha using fire jutsus the Hokage used some too, although I guess that is an exemption because he apparently knew all the leaf&#39;s jutsus.

I also agree with everyone with Neji most likely finding Kidoumaru via the thread attached to the arrow and bringing him to close combat and finishing him off. I&#39;m also thinking/hoping Neji/Chouji will die because I think it will impact the storyline better, but I don&#39;t care all that much either way.
