It had been three long years; the young Hyuga scratched his head awkwardly looking at his sensei and his team mates. Everyone of them had gone and introduced themselves already, and he was the last to do so. Slowly he stepped to the front, his long hair swaying gently to and from and stopped suddenly as he began to present himself. 

"I'm Neji Hyuga of the Hyuga clan." His staggering twitch of the lips did it's best to hold it's place while he continued.

"Gai Sensei is my instructor and Lee and Tenten are my team mates. I am a jonin level shinobi from Konoha. I now honor my family, and care for Hinata-Sama very dearly" 

Neji thought about his actions he made when he was younger and felt some what embarrassed by his actions. His next step was surprising to see but rest assured it was real. His arms went down to his sides as he polity bowed to your presence. 

"It isn't fair for me to determine our relationship without giving it a try. Forgive me if I did so in the past. I will not rule the fate of a friendship we could have with assumptions, i am better than that. I have the strength in me to push on to make a better relationship and future with the people of Konoha. It would be a great honor."
