my friend came up with couple ideas about our lovely Metal Lee. and one of them was about spiritual connection between already dead Neji and not borned Metal yet. like intrusion of part of the Neji’s soul into Metal’s soul. blending. and awakening of genome hyuga into his eyes. but he couldn’t use byakugan. just a bit.
we were interested in this unstable situation for all characters and discussed a lot. about their reactions and contradictions. especially Lee’s anxiety. so i made some art to this.
also i put youthful costume on himawari to compare the similarity with Metal XD
