I can easily prove you wrong with examples from this very thread lol. And Neji does have fans, which is why it works to kill him. While I don't believe characters must die in order for there to be tension that only goes so far and Kishi made the right call to kill one. And of the Konoha 11 the ones who were most likely to die would be Lee or Neji since their characters were more or less complete by the end of Part 1. Of the two Neji was the best choice.
