If you've seen the series, you know this is one
of Neji's signature techniques from when he was a
Genin. So I find it odd that it requires a Turn 3 or
Higher Byakugan Ninja to be used. Anyways, this card
has two effects that can help the Hyuga Deck. First
it makes one of your opponent's Ninjas go Stand-By.
That's pretty simple. The other effect is activated
when this Jutsu is in the Chain. During that moment,
your opponent can't activate any effects from Jutsus
or Ninjas. So, in effect, it's the end of the Chain.
It's pretty strong, and helpful at the same time.
For three Earth it's worth it. Good thing is that
Chunin versions of Hinata can also use this card,
but you probably want Neji to use it. The Expert
part of the text states that if Neji uses this Jutsu
you give one damage to the same Ninja you sent
Stand-By. This would allow you to get it out of the
battlefield, and make sure that Ninja doesn't return
for a while.

I haven't had too much time to think about some of
the things this can do, but from the way I see it,
it can be a real "Game over." It definitely varies
in rating depending on the format it is played in,
but it is by no means a bad jutsu.
Limited: 2/5 If this is the rare in one of your
packs, I feel bad for you because you probably won't
be passed/pack a Neji.
Unlimited: 2/5 There are just too many good jutsus
here for an over-costed Knockout Blow to see play.
Block: 3.5/5 The slot it would fit in is probably
already filled with Howl or Super Slap, but you
could give it a chance.
