  • Neji teaches Naruto a lesson about the Hyuuga family...during the frikkin fight.

    It is Naruto vs. Neji, shadow replication vs. the byukugan. Neji underestimated Naruto's skills, but even with a cleverly thought up plan, Neji's advanced ninja techniques that are on par with jounin level techniques overwhelm Naruto. The entire Hyuuga family is taken by storm when they see him perform the divination wind. For some reason Neji decides to tell Naruto about his family history and how fate decides everything.

    The episode opened up with what seemed like a promising battle, and then Neji had to tell a story. I hate it when things like this happen; after two people duke it out for a while, one of them decides to tell them about their sorrowful past and the battle ends with that person changing his views on life completely. Sure I guess Neji's story is pretty sad, but he should be pounding Naruto into the ground, not telling his frikkin past.moreless

    First it looked like Neji was going to defeat Naruto and win the battle. However Naruto thought of a move that fooled Neji. Then Neji Hyuga does the heavenly spin. Now tenten is cheering for him. HIashi says that the heavenly spin was only taught to the main heir, but he learned it through simple observation. Neji is incredible. HIs attacks are more dynamic and he seemed unstoppable. Also that 64 palms heavenly attack was really a true power. Naruto just stood there. It was incredible. Hiashi even said that Neji was talented. He will surpass the hyuga's. naruto hang in there.moreless

    Naruto uses multiple shadow clones to attack Neji. Neji thinks he knows which clone is the real Naruto and charges at the one that has stayed back and not attacked. But this Naruto is a clone too. The real Naruto and a clone come at Neji from above and Naruto hits Neji but it seems like there is some kind of shield protecting Neji. Naruto is thrown back and his last clone disappears. Neji then uses his Sixty Four Palms attack to close all sixty four of Naruto's chakra points. Naruto still gets up to Neji's amazement. They have a short conversation and Neji tells Naruto his clan's history...moreless

    • Neji: Your destiny was decided the moment I was chosen as your opponent. Edit
    • Neji: You see, this is more than a mark that we wear. It is also the instrument by which they keep us in our place. We live in the fear that they will use this curse mark to turn our brains into jelly anytime they wish. Fear, that is what we live with; and we live with it every day. Only in death are we free of it. This is how the power of the Byakugan is kept sealed away. Edit
    • Neji: It was there, on the day the heir to the head of the household turned three, that the curse mark was put on me, and I was made a bird in a cage. Edit
