Neji had graduated, and Soji had also helped him evolve his Byakugan once.
However, because he refused to graduate as a Chunin, he was assigned to Might Guy's class, just like in the original story.
Soji did not interfere with that.
Or rather, Soji was quite happy to see Neji, who originally specialized in Gentle Fist, assigned under Might Guy, who specialized in Hard Fist.
After all, Soji hoped Neji would forge his own path.
In that case, he definitely needed to learn some of the essentials of Hard Fist.
Just like Soji, who had combined certain Hard Fist techniques to create the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist!
Although Neji had not yet reached the point where he could fuse Gentle Fist and Hard Fist to develop a new style, it was still necessary for him to get exposed to Hard Fist early on.
After all, not long after Soji had mastered Ice Release, he had gone to seek advice on Hard Fist from Might Duy.
It could be said that the development of Soji's Flowing Rock Shattering Fist absolutely owed something to the late Might Duy.
Since Soji had received inspiration from Might Duy, wasn't it perfectly natural for him to have his own disciple learn from Might Guy now?
Might Guy might have looked unreliable, but honestly, he really was a qualified teacher.
Ahem, it was just that his youthfulness was indeed a little hard to bear.
At the same time, aside from Neji, his friends Rock Lee and Tenten were also assigned under Might Guy, just like in the original story.
Rock Lee had been personally requested by Might Guy, while Tenten had been assigned there normally.
After all, other Mentor Teachers generally did not want children like Rock Lee, whose shining qualities had not yet been discovered
