    The match between Neji and Hinata comes to an end. Neji and Hinata have been trading blow for blow and neither seems to have the advantage. Hinata charges and tries to give a decisive blow to Neji. Neji strikes Hinata in the chest where her heart is and she coughs up some blood. She tries again to hit Neji, but he blocks all her attacks. He pulls her sleeve back to reveal where he has been hitting her chakra points and rendering all her attacks useless. He hits her in the chest again and knocks her to the ground. Is Hinata dead??....moreless

    I loved this episode, because although Hinata got onwed by Neji, you should of seen everyone's face. They were like omg is that really Hinata and all. It was so funny I love Hinata she is the best Kunoichi ever. I don't know where Kishi gets this from

    Wow, Hinata was so cool in this episode. She was like "pow pow". She should of launched a "Kamehameha!" Oh wait, that's Dragon Ball Z lol. Other than that, I liked the end where Hinata asks Naruto his she was able to change but couldn't finish the sentence, then she blacked out. The scary part was when they said that she was going to die. She is so cute and innocent, I don't know how people can hate her :cry: And then where Naruto swiped his hand to touch the blood, I was like, kill Neji Naruto lol. Good Bye.moreless

    As Neji and Hinatas battle continues Neji deals a major hit to Hinata as she loses all of her ability to use her charka or to use the gentile fist. Even though she cant use her charka she still wants to show Naruto that she is tough. Hinata than rushes at Neji and Neji land a fatal hit to Hinatas heart. Neji says that Hinatas hits were ineffective. Naruto yells down to Hinata and Hinata gets up. Hinata than tells Neji that she is not the one who is suffering it is Neji. This make Neji mad and he rushes at Hinata. Gai, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Hayate stop him in time thus making Neji the winner. Hinata falls over and the others rush to her. Neji tells Naruto that he should stop his cheering and once a failure always a failure. Naruto than tells Neji that he will defeat Neji for Hinata.moreless

    Neji keeps on taking Hinata's self-confidence. Neji, as skillful as he is, disables Hinata's chakra points so then Hinata can't use chakra but Naruto keeps on cheering her.That was a nice moment. Hinata still was loosing because Neji had disabled her chakra points. Hinata tells him that she believed he was suffering because he was batteling with his destiny. Neji was angry and about to make his last move to kill her but four Jonin stoped him before he could deliver the last blow. At that moment I knew something big was going to happen. Hinata's heart went into cardiac arrest and Naruto vowed to avenge her. It was a good episode and I liked the fighting technique that I saw in the fight.moreless

    • While all of the Jounin are holding Neji back, when you look up while Gai's talking ,you can see Kakashi's glove is gone while he's holding Neji's arm. Edit
    • When Kakashi explains the chakra points, or "tenketsu", to Naruto in the Japanese version, he says that there are 361, but in the dub, he says there are 316. Edit

    • Kakashi: (Describing Neji's style of attack) On the chakra network, there are 316 energy centers or chakra points; and each are only about the size of the head of a pin. Hitting one directly can affect chakra flow either halting it or increasing it, depending on how the attacker strikes the chakra points. Theoretically, doing so allows a ninja to gain complete control over an opponent's chakra flow. But these chakra points, they're undetectable even to my Sharingan eye. Sakura: (Shocked) Ah... Kakashi: And even beyond his ability to see the chakra points; he is able to target them accurately, even during intense battle. Edit
    • Lee: (Thinking) How was that, Gai-sensei? (Holds up thumb) Gai: (Thinking) Good one, Lee! Nice going. (Holds up thumb) Edit
    • Kurenai: Oh, no! She's going into cardiac arrest! Was he really trying to kill her? Neji: I wouldn't waste your time glaring at me, when you really should be taking care of her. Edit
