I have to admit, your Neji art is some of the loveliest and most detailed I've managed to find on DeviantArt. He's such a complex character, and one who really doesn't get too much attention next to Naruto, Sasuke, and that crowd. He also looks a little melancholy in your image, especially in the eyes. Very good work!

Thank you very much))
This is my old pic. And now I'm imagine him a little differently (like on the second pic with a blood and bites).
This character is my favourite, that's why I'm drawing him so well ^^
As for me he's a soldier without name and fate. He's a genius but he must be the second one because of his "cage". I want to give him a freedom. Sweat, blood and tears, but he must be free! He must be awaken from this melancholy.

In personality tests, I tend to get a 90% to 100% score as Neji. A lot of his behavior seems very familiar to me (including the situation with his cousins, but that's a very long and complicated story) and I can't help but smile a little when I notice he's going to get some screentime. He's seriously an underappreciated character, despite being so complex.
I'm sure he realizes that as well, and may even find some embitterment over the whole situation. Just staying in the shadows and accepting the confinements of his "cage" doesn't seem to be his style at all.
It's nice to know somebody else hopes he finds freedom in some shape or form. Hopefully, the tragedy will fade away.

I believe Orochimaru is strong enougth to break his cage. I've been thought a lot about them and decided this alternative way is possible. Neji is very intelligent. He could run away from konoha because of his family and their cruel laws. Hiashi could order to kill his nephew, why not? Hjuuga're always so stupid with their customs...
In my story Orochi takes off the stamp, destroyes the cage. And then he teaches him to control himself (the stamp doesn't let him to use all his chakra)... There are too many details and peculiarities to retell all them.
I'd like to draw my story with some comments. I hope you'll understand my idea.

It does look like a very valid alternate storyline, actually! Neji's one of the few characters in Masashi Kishimoto's world who is intelligent, talented, and determined. We see segments and pieces in other characters, but Neji's complete.
If you do decide to draw the entire story, I've put you on my DeviantWatch. I'll be here to view each and every thing you decide to present. Hopefully, I can give you as much feedback as you'd like.

I'd like to give the Future to him. And if I decide... Huh, in this case it will be great escape for Neji.
Thank you for the support very much.
It seemes to me I'm going to do it))

Well, if you're going to do it, I'll sit here patiently and enjoy whatever I can get!
I wonder just how far he'll soar into the sky once the birdcage is open. Where are your thoughts on that?

- Your cage has been broken. You could soar into the sky...
- You are my sky, - Neji bowed down in front of his rescuer, - My own heaven.
- You look so precious now, - Orochimaru's whisper was similar with the snake hissing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, wow!
"You look so precious now." Yes, I can definitely see Orochimaru whispering something along those lines. I can also see Neji creating a strong sense of loyalty to anyone who'd liberate him from the Hyuuga ways.
So, out of curiosity, does Orochimaru serve only as Neji's rescuer, or does he also have an ulterior motive?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's unacceptable for Orochimaru to realize that someone else rules this perfect body. It's an absolute autocracy.
But this old cunning Snake can't be a perfect evil genius who's seaching for the immortal in spite of victims. Yes, Orochimaru acts like Neji's part of his property, but he consideres him to be his child in a way. They are just alike in their loneliness to my mind.

I can see that, too. Neji's been surrounded by people who try to understand that void, but it's impossible. Orochimaru could, in a way, since he managed to perform the same act with Kaguya Kimimaro in the past. However, Neji's definitely a lot healthier than poor Kimimaro.
I can also imagine the envy in those serpentine eyes.

And now it will be not a perfomance. Kaguya is dead. No reasons to pretend. It must be someone who cares of the old heartless snake, and the snake realizes that. In spite of all his egoism Orochi should have the heir.
...may be I try to make Sannin such a beneficial and merciful person. May be for nothing.

Envy? But why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Let's think about it this way, regarding Orochimaru's apparent greed in the canon. This is a man who sacrificed many people, even those close to him, to advance.
While it may be safest to have an heir and successor (the greatest investment of all), Orochimaru's behavior is so proud and extravagant that he may continue to think that naming a successor indicates he'll fail in his goal to attain eternity. If one names an heir, doesn't that suggest one may have doubts in the ultimate goal?
The envy I see occurring in Orochimaru's eyes toward a young and astonishing talent (albeit Uchiha Sasuke or, in this case, Hyuuga Neji) comes directly from a realization of his own age and deterioration. While he hopes and strives to live forever, he's still over fifty. Those are years of his life, perhaps even wasted, that he can never get back...years that Neji still has ahead of him.

Misspellings and typos happen to even the best writers. I've done a quick review of your dialog and tried to make the translation a bit more fluid, as well as fix some spelling and grammar portions. I hope you don't mind!

Your opinion is just right.
Orochi's goal is to be an eternal. And not if he can help the rival. But he also could admit...hmm, I don't know how to say it clearly... could admit "the second part". I'm imagine their relations like a relations of the samourai and his master. They are one. As regards the autocracy, I believe it's possible to transform. It will be a long way. But wise. Orochimaru couldn't reach the unite with Sasuke-kun, but there are some differences between Uchiha and Hjuuga.
I'd like to tell you something about it:
- It is time to be reborn.
- I'm ready to take all that you'd like to give me. Even your essense.
- I want to know, my precious child... why?
- Because it's my decidion.
- Poor little thing... You are so young, vestal... and unwise.
- It is my own way! As my father decieded to die... I'd like to choose my own fate.
- It's an illusion. You just have no choise.
- You are wrong.
- Why do you do it? Reply me.
- Because of you.
- It's impossible.
- Because of your eyes.
- Huh... What did you say?
- May be there is some beauty...
- Get out.
- May be there is an ideal shining, amber shining...
- Get out of here.
- You are the greatest Master I've ever seen...
- Now!
- ...As you like. Master.
ps: I'm sorry, it's 6:39 AM here... I want to sleep a while.

Ah, so Orochimaru's showing some frustration here! The dialog is far more poetic than what we'd probably see in the English, which (without adding thoughts or actions outside quotations) would probably look something like this (I've added an asterisk where I performed a brief edit in your translation for fluidity and spelling) in script:
"It is time to be reborn, Neji*."
"I'm ready to take all that you'd like to give me...*even your essence*."
"Why, my precious child? Your master would like to know.*"
"It's my decision."
"Oh, you* poor little thing. You're so young, vestal, and painfully* unwise." (perhaps naive?)
"It is my own way! Just as* my father decided* to die, I'd like to choose my own fate."
"It's an illusion. You simply* have no choice."
"You're* wrong."
"Why do you do it? Answer* me."
"I do everything* because of you."
"It's impossible--*"
"Because of your eyes."
"Huh?* What did you say?"
"Some* beauty..."
"Get out."
"Maybe* there is an ideal shining, amber and*..."
"Get out of here."
"You are the greatest Master I've ever seen.*"
"Now!"
"...As you wish, Orochimaru-sama*."
Does Russian use a hyphen instead of quotation marks in dialog? I've noticed that in a few other translated texts from eastern European countries (for example, I'm a devoted reader of Franz Kafka) and it sparked my curiosity.
