N-The Gentle Fist

I can't wait for this episode. I know Neji's a complete ass at this point in time, but I really wanna see Hinata in action. This is the first time I have ever used blood like that in a drawing of mine and it kinda weirded me out for a bit.

Yes, I do realize that Neji's headband is supposed to be almost the same color as his hair, but I really like the way Kishimoto draws him on the cover of #22 with blue accessories, so I'm just going to stick with making his gear blue. The colors in the manga are a little different from the anime and, surprisingly, I like the manga coloring better (Neji and Hinata's shirts are more greyish and Neji's hair is blacker).

My sister has informed me that the name of this move is called "The Crane". I dunno if this is the exact positioning, but it's one of the hits Hinata takes during their fight, drawn at a different angle.
