It started with both his parent when he was a few hours old. Sarutobi tried his hardest to quarantine him but eventually Iruka fell prey to it and then all hell broke loose and Sasuke, Sarutobi, Tsunade, Neji (twice now, poor soul), etc. All were suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to met a pointy end. It's gotten so bad that even when he's not here, infected people lose control of themselves and like Jiraiya and Konan embrace the call of the edgy bits. Hell, only a few hours after meeting Naruto even the Raikage couldn't help himself and cut off his own arm when his opponent couldn't stab him deep enough to satisfy the Need.

So it's really neither Hinata (infected during the Pain fight) nor Neji's fault, they saw an occasion and jumped for it, literally.

Well Said!
