Last time, the chunin exam has started with the first match, Naruto vs. Neji. In the beginning of the match, both Naruto and Neji were pretty much even. Now, the match turned into Naruto's favor as he not only stopped Neji's Hakke Rokujuyon Sho, but also stopping any other of Neji's juken strikes by catching Neji's fingers.
Arena
Currently, Naruto was gripping both of Neji's fingers, as he said, "How can a Hyuga fight if both his hands are now sealed?" questioning Neji into an answer. Naruto waited as he saw Neji continue to try and break his fingers free from Naruto's grip. It was then that Neji heard Naruto say, "The answer… you can't." answering his question. It was then that Naruto started to tighten his grip on Neji's fingers, where Neji grunted in pain as Naruto's grip is extremely strong for him.
As Naruto was crushing Neji's fingers, Neji struggled through the pain in his hands to get himself back on his feet. He struggled to get on one knee then on both. Once he was on his feet, he looked to see that Naruto wasn't fazed about him standing up again. Neji then tried to free himself by trying to kick Naruto, but Naruto denied it by use his knee to block it again. Neji tried a couple of more times, but Naruto counter it pretty easily since Naruto was able to figure out that the Hyuga fighting style is mostly involve their hands not their feet.
After some time, Naruto made his move, where he instantly gave Neji a powerful head-butt, even though Neji was wearing his Konoha head band on his forehead. This got Neji to wince and lose focus for moment, where Naruto let go of Neji's left hand to use his right hand to give a good punch while pulling Neji in.
It was then that Neji's acting paid off. Neji figured that his best chance to free himself was for him to act a bit disordered so that Naruto would, at least, let go of one of his hands in order to strike him. Once Neji felt Naruto let go of his left hand, he quickly used his Byakugan, to see that Naruto attention was on hitting him as his eyes were looking at his face, and went for a lethal strike at Naruto's neck. Right before Neji's left hand could even get close, Naruto gave a sudden right hook on Neji's forearm, where it deflected his left hand up into the air, leaving Neji exposed, where Naruto combine both a knee and elbow strike on Neji's face and left side. He let go of Neji's other hand to let Neji fly back a bit before he fell onto the ground after the combo hit.
Audience
The audience was amazed on what N (Naruto's codename) was doing to Neji. The Konoha citizens and the Hyuga clan were seeing that N is winning against the Hyuga clan's prodigy. The Hyuga clan couldn't believe on how a genin is able to counter their family's juken style so easily.
"I don't believe it! That kumo nin is actually beating Neji! And so easily too…!" Tenten thought with shock in her eyes.
"How can Neji be losing so easily to this kumo nin." Hiashi's father muttered out, who was sitting with the other Hyuga elders.
"This N kid is good… to be able to shut down the Hyuga clan's style like that, even for a bit is no small feat." Kurenai admitted
"Yes… but what is more interest is how he is able to do it. Didn't you see on what happened before he caught Neji's fingers?" Asuma question
"What do you mean?" Kurenai asked
"Before N had caught Neji's fingers, Neji attacked, with full intent to kill, N's blind spot." Asuma stated
"Yes, but why are asking about it?" Kurenai question with curiosity
"Could you block or dodge anything from your blind spot like that. There was no time to react on any one of those and yet N not only blocks or dodges Neji's attack, but he did it without seeing it since his eye site was completely in front of him, not behind him." Asuma explained
It was then that Kurenai understood on what Asuma explained to her. It was true, in such a close distance, there was no way that anybody would be able to block or dodge such a point-blank range attacks, yet N was able to do it without even looking.
"I wonder…" causing Kurenai's to stop thinking and focusing back on Asuma, "… was Kumo able to actually get the Byakugan and place it to this boy. Since that is the only explanation that this kid was able to do that." Asuma muttered out to Kurenai, who also started to think the same thing.
"I can't believe how N is able to block all of Neji's attacks. I had hoped that N would give Neji a good couple of hit, but I didn't think he was going to win against him." Kiba stated
"Yeah, but hey, after what I saw in Nami no Kuni, I guess he has to have some talent. But that doesn't matter since Sasuke-kun is going to win this tournament." Sakura stated, where Ino agreed.
Hinata looked on how impressive N was doing against Neji, since she knows how powerful Neji is.
Arena
Neji started to get back up on his feet after he was sent launching from Naruto's combo attack. He rubbed his face from Naruto's elbow strike and his hands from the strong grip he had to deal with while narrowing his eyes at Naruto as he stood ready. Once he was completely up, Neji calmed himself since Naruto has been playing with him all this time since he let his anger get in the way of defeating him, where he saw that Naruto was cool, even with his black mask.
Neji glared at Naruto, pondering on what to do next. His thoughts were interrupted when Naruto made his move. Naruto created a dozen shadow clones and they went at him. Neji was now defending against a dozen fists and kicks, where he tried to also use his juken strike against him but Naruto also made sure to avoid/block each one of Neji's counterattacks.
Naruto kept pushing against Neji, where Neji was being shoved right into a corner, where he almost got several hits.
(Naruto Shippuden OST: Emergence of talent)
Neji then thought, "I guess it's time I reveal my trump card..." Where he then releases his chakra from all over his body, and began to spin around with it. Naruto was about to give Neji a powerful punch on his face but suddenly felt something was wrong, where he and his shadow clones were repelled by some powerful force that made him fell back while his clones puffed away. After he landed on his back, he quickly regains his bearings to see that Neji was spinning around, releasing his chakra at the same time.
Audience
When everyone saw N (Naruto) being repelled by Neji's counterattack, many didn't know what it was, while a few did. The Hiashi, Hinata and the Hyuga elders were stunned on what Neji just performed since it was a jutsu that is only taught to the main family.
"That jutsu…" Hinata thought in surprise
"Kaiten" Hiashi spoke out loud
"Father, that move… is that…" Hanabi said where her father interrupted the rest of her question with the answer.
"Yes Hanabi… it's as you guess it. That was Kaiten, a secret jutsu that is only passed down to the successors of our clan, or to put it plainly, the main branch family. The more important question is how he able to use it, just like how is he able to use the Hakke Rokujuyon Sho?" Hiashi wondered
"Impossible!" a shock Hyuga elder said
"But how could he learned it… did Hiashi teach him?" asked another Hyuga elder
"No, Hiashi wouldn't do that." Hiashi's father answered, where he was having trouble on believing that a branch member of the Hyuga clan knows the secret defense technique of the main family. At the same time, Hiashi's father also thought, "To believe a boy from the branch family, who can never be clan head has inherit our clan's bloodline ability to such extent. Maybe it was a mistake that I chose Hiashi to succeed instead of Hizashi."
Tenten only smiled at how Neji used and master his trump card that he has been practicing for the past month. "It's over… no matter what you do N… you can't get by Neji's absolute defense… this match is over." Tenten thought
"What was that? How did Neji stop N's attack like that?" Kiba asked out loud
"There can only be one move that could have stopped N's offense like that…" Asuma stated, where Kurenai and the other genin around them were wondering about.

(End of Emergence of Talent)
Naruto looked at Neji, who was standing all smugly at how he deflected his attacks. He wondered what it was. It was then that Neji spoke out loud, "It's over N… I told you before that my eyes can see everything and that destiny has chosen me to be the winner."
Naruto only stood back up as he retort, "Yeah, will I also told you before that I can break destiny. You said that your eyes can see everything that they can see into the future or something like that. How did that happened? How can you be so sure that what you said is true?" Naruto asked
"Huh, I can't see the future but I can predict it since all our futures have been laid down for us since the day we were born. Take Lee… he believed that with nothing but hard works that he can overcome people like me who were born with talent and make his dreams come true. But just like how he was distant to lose against you, you'll lose to me since it is also part of destiny. Those who are born with talent and power will always surpass the weak and the foolish like Lee and Hinata-sama." Neji explained to Naruto
When Naruto heard Neji explained his reason, he started to chuckle a bit before he started to full laugh out loud. Neji only looked on at how Naruto was laughing like that before he calmed down. Naruto then said, "Now I know what kind of person you're really are. And since you said that the weak and foolish will always lose against someone with talent or power…" where Naruto narrow his eyes with a smirk he had on his face, where it could be seen even with his mask on, "… It means that you're going to lose to me since you predicted that way." Naruto finished his statement
"You're foolish to believe that I would lose… I have already explained to you that destiny would see me the victor since I am strong." Neji explained
"Yes, I've heard you speak, but that was only on what you can see from the outside… and that makes all the difference since like you, I not only see everything around me… I can also see the truth as well since Konoha gave me this ability many years ago." Naruto explained as he narrowed his eyes.
"You have the same ability as me… and that my village gave you this power? There is no way you could have that power." Neji countered
"Yes I do, after all I block and deflected all your attacks, even the attacks on my blind side." Naruto stated with a smile
"The only way you could do that is if you hav-" Neji stated until he paused and then muttered to himself, "If he has the Byakugan."
Audience
When everyone heard on what Neji was trying to say, but muttered out the last part of his sentence, many of Konoha were able to guess what it was. All of Konoha shinobi in the stadium guessed that Kumo was somehow able to obtain the Byakugan.
"Impossible… how could Kumo obtain a Byakugan… there's no way they could." Hiashi's father stated to the other Hyuga elders. Hiashi also had the same thought, while Hinata wondered on whose Byakugan that N has in his eye.
The Sandaime Hokage also had the same thought which he, as well as the other kages, turned to the Raikage, while A thought on how good an actor Naruto is doing over Neji.
Arena
Naruto continued to look on as Neji had a look of disbelief. He then saw him return to his somewhat cool demeanor. Naruto then said, "So Neji-san… was it something that I said…? After all, you look surprise about something… so what was it?" question Neji
Neji was silent as he looked at Naruto. He thought, "There is no way that he can have a Byakugan. But the way he not only evaded my attacks… even from his blind side. That is the only explanation but to have the Byakugan. But where would Kumo get the Byakugan. The only person that they could have gotten it from is from…" where his eyes widen in realization.
Suddenly, Neji narrowed his eyes, his Byakugan full activated with a rage in it while growling at Naruto, immediately taking his Juken stance, ready to kill Naruto with everything he had. Naruto notice Neji's sudden change, where he then said, "What's a matter Hyuga-san, what's with the look on you face?" asking Neji
Neji snarled at Naruto, "You know why… even after what has happen, Kumo was still able to get the Byakugan… the main family murdering my father was a waste since you have it in your eye. But of course you know all this since you have it, the Byakugan in your eye. For that reason alone, I will always despise the Hyuga main family since it was for nothing. It would have been better to just let them have Hinata-sama since she's nothing more than a failure."
Naruto looked curious about it, "I don't know what you're talking about, but what does your father have to do with anything about this? For that matter, why do you resent Hinata-san so much?" asking Neji, since even though Naruto knows about the Hyuga incident he only knows just the blunt about, nothing detail about it.
It was then that Neji decided to answer Naruto's question by first tell him about the Hyuga Soke no Juinjutsu that was place on his forehead and that the seal was the symbol of a cage bird. He then went and explains about the Hyuga incident that Kumo started (not going to explain it, so look it up).
Naruto listened to what Neji said about the Hyuga clan and Kumo, he couldn't help but feel sadden for Neji, but also could understand it since, unlike him, Neji had a father who he loved and respected. His thoughts about it were interrupted as Neji continue his story.
"Now you see why you can never change your fate… just like my father couldn't escape his fate, you cannot escape your defeat, your fate is sealed."
Audience
Once Neji finished explaining the details of Hyuga incident, the people digested what he said. The audience looked grim about it, more so to the Hyuga members since it involved their clan. The other people had similar thoughts about it, where they thought on how sad it was.
The Sandaime, in the kage booth, sighed as he remembered the day all too well. He never like or encourage actions like sacrificing a person to stop a war. But when sacrificing one life to save hundreds to thousands of lives, he had little choice and had to make the hard, difficult decisions that was needed, even if it cause Hizashi's love ones to suffer from his death.
The Raikage also had similar thoughts about it, since the incident between Konoha and Kumo without his approval, but the actions from a few of his high council. He admitted to himself that he would have also done a similar plan, but would have plan it a different way that wouldn't have cost one of their best ninja. In the end, even with Hizashi's corpse, there wasn't anything that could have been done. He was just grateful that in their failure, as well as Konoha's own ignores that a year later, they rescued and convince Naruto, the Kyuubi no Jinchuriki, to become a powerful, loyal and trustworthy shinobi into Kumo.
Arena
Naruto listen to Neji's tale, where he thought about how his village has done such a thing. This only motivated him to achieve his dream on becoming Raikage since he was inspired even more from what his parents have written to him. When Neji finished his tale, Naruto just looked at Neji and said, "Is that it… you're telling me that you have this whole 'fate' attitude because of one event in your life. I can't understand on how you feel since I never felt or even knew my father, but that doesn't mean that you should dictate your life because of it. The only thing I only figured out from your tale is how much of a crybaby you really are."
Neji narrowly looked at Naruto, "An ignorant brat like you shouldn't be lecturing… I've told you that people are born, burden with a destiny they cannot oppose." Remembering his father's words on how he has the strongest and wished that he was born into the main family. Neji glaring at Naruto, his byakugan full in use, "You could never understand what it's like to be burden with a mark, a mark that can never go away!" Neji yelled at Naruto
Naruto closed his eyes, as he remembered his life in Konoha, how he was subjected to not only loneliness but also terrible abuse from so many people, including some from several clans of Konoha as well as the same look he gotten from a bit of people in Kumo (but kept it a secret from A). Naruto looked at Neji, "Actually, I can… and… so what, who cares." With a smirk that was hidden in his mask where Neji only growled at being insulted.
"Tsk, stop trying to act cool. You told me before that your eyes can see the truth, on how by seeing someone talents is how you can see or determines someone's fate or destiny… how they let you see the truth... but in fact that's nothing more that whinnying. Unlike you, I can see the truth with in a person easily, like Hinata. In the few short days that I spent with her in the tower, I was able to see beyond the shyness, the stuttering and see for who she really is." Naruto said
"I can see the suffering Hinata had gone through, and yet I can also see the determination that she has with in herself. She's trying hard to gain acknowledgement from someone, I don't know from whom, it could be her clan or her father for all I care about, but her true strength is still buried but is now coming into the surface. The proof is that fact, that even though she knew she stood no chance against you, she still fought so hard until she even started to coughing blood, just so she can change herself." Naruto explained where he then paused for a moment, before he pointed at Neji.
"Also, from my understanding, it's the branch family that supposed to protect the main one, not to beat it to a blood pulp. In what about that match, you were beating Hinata so bad that you almost kill her. In truth, through all your talk, you don't actually believe in destiny as well." Naruto stated where Neji actually was taken back a bit.
Neji just got back his composer, where he then got to his fighting stance, "I don't know on what fantasy world that you live in, but destiny is for real and as such, your defeat is inevitable. In the end, you and Hinata-sama will share the same destiny!"
"If that destiny involves me, as the future Raikage, and her, as the Head of the Hyuga clan, in 6 to10 years from now, apologizing for what happen but also forming peace between Kumo and her clan or her wearing a revealing 2 piece black bikini swimsuit in the beach with me, then that's not such a bad thing." Naruto said as a joke with a smirk on the last part, since in all honesty, Hinata was a cute girl who was also just as serious as Samui in being a kunoichi. He knew that if he didn't already have feelings for Samui that he might have tried to get closer to Hinata if he could. Also in that same line of thought about a swimsuit, Naruto thought that Samui would look good in either a black or white bikini swimsuit when she gets older.
Audience
When everyone heard on what Naruto said, many have different reactions and thoughts. For the civilians, they thought it was funny as they heard Naruto say about Hinata in a bikini, while the Konoha shinobi thought about the peace part since Naruto's goal to be Raikage is something. The Hyuga clan had their own thoughts, along with the rookie shinobi and their sensei's had their own thoughts.
The elders of the Hyuga clan thought on how ridicules about forming peace between both Kumo and the Hyuga clan. They also thought at how ridicules for Hinata about being clan Head. Hiashi narrowed his at what N (Naruto) said about Hinata in a bikini and thought, "Like hell you'll get close to my daughter you pest."
Many people don't know about it, but Hiashi Hyuga does actually care about his family, more so to his daughters. He had push Hinata so far into going to the academy so to encourage her to get better as a shinobi, while making sure that Hinata was away from the elders as much while also trying to figure out a way to break of the arrange marriage between Hinata and Sasuke Uchiha since it was the elders who made the decision which he was silently against it.
Kurenai thought that Naruto's description about Hinata in a swimsuit was not only rude but also perverted which she despise that about men who only look at women as nothing more as objects. Asuma only chuckled as he saw Kurenai's face frown/pout at what Naruto said about her student. He thought, "Heh, too bad for that Kumo nin that Kurenai won't let him get near Hinata after describing her like that."
Hinata only blushed as she imagined herself in the swimsuit that Naruto describe her in 10 years from now, where her face looked like a big cherry. Kiba only narrow his eyes as it twitch a bit since he saw Hinata as a little sister.
Contestant Box
The genin who were participating in the exam, listen to the match only for a couple of them had their own thought about Naruto's description about him and Hinata. Shino looked a little peeved since like Kiba, he also cared for Hinata.
Samui frown and narrowed her eyes a bit since she took what Naruto said a bit serious since Naruto had practically confess to her last night and was now kind of flirting a bit to the Hyuga princess. She thought, "Did he really have to joke around like that…? And could he have been cool enough to mention her in dress instead of a bikini."
Arena
Neji only narrowed his eyes and growled a bit on what Naruto said; even though he knew it was just a joke, but the thought of seeing Naruto and Hinata together forming an alliance or both of them being intimate together (because Naruto is Kumo and Hinata is Konoha) made him very angry.
Naruto, suddenly had a chill going through his back which he guess was Samui since she's the only person to actually make him get nervous about anything. He, of course, put the feeling aside since he saw Neji frown a bit, which he then smirked and said, "What's wrong Hyuga-san, is it something I said…?"
"The only thing wrong is you wasting my time. But that well soon ends once you're at my feet." Neji answered
"Well see about that, since I've already figure out whom you really are as well as the weaknesses of your jutsu. So I'm going to end this match here and now." Naruto stated where he put his fingers at a familiar hand sign and yelled out, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Where a 16 shadow clones appeared.
As Naruto was preparing for his attack, Neji in thought since he doubted Naruto's statement of finding any weakness in his Kaiten. As Neji contemplated in Naruto's statement, Naruto was also thinking about his situation.
"Alright, from what I was able to gather Neji's Kaiten is an ultimate defense, but everything has a weakness. From my attacks, and backlash I got, his attack not only repels physical attack, but I'm also betting ninjutsu as well. And in order to do any repelling, he has to spin around while releasing his chakra… wait… repel… spin… that's the answer." Naruto thought in realization
At that moment, Naruto started to pour chakra into his feet, while he also signal his shadow clones to take their position around Neji. Once the setting was done, Naruto unleashed his attack.
All of Naruto's shadow clones converge directly at Neji, who countered the attack. Neji went to use his juken style to take each shadow clone out, where the clones evade/block from getting hit. A few of the clones quickly brought out a kunai in their hands, where they tried to slash Neji, but Neji avoided each one. It was there that Neji was able to disarm one of the shadow clones, where he then caught the blade with his right hand and through at the disarm clone.
After the clone was beaten, the rest of the shadow clones suddenly move faster, being able to push Neji right into a corner and off balancing him. It was then that Neji started to spin clockwise and unleash his Kaiten to deflect the clones that were converging on him at the same time. When the clones hit Neji's Kaiten all of the clones were dispelled. As Neji witness the shadow clones dispel, he look all over until his found Naruto, sky diving down on him with a powerful flying kick on him, where Neji just smiled about it.
(Godannar: Engage)
As Neji was unleashing his Kaiten on the shadow clones, Naruto proceed with his plan since he now knew on how to break the Hyuga clan's Kaiten Jutsu. Naruto immediately run towards the arena wall and run up with incredible speed that match Neji's speed. As he was the edge of the wall, Naruto jump high while spinning around counterclockwise, where he also used the first step of the Rasengan at his feet to increase the wind spin around himself. Once he reached the max fight, he started to add his lighting affinity into his feet, combining it with the immense spin. With that, Naruto came fly kicking inside a tornado drill of wind and lighting. The lightning in his kick turned the spark into blue flames where the drill was now combine in wind, lighting and fire at the tip of the rotating chakra. It was then that Naruto yelled out, "Fire Soul Breaker!"
When both Naruto and Neji's jutsu collided with each other, there was a moment of dominants that took place, where it then turned into a bright white light then a tremendous explosion.
Before the explosion, the referee, Genma, sense the danger where he thought, "This attack…! Need to beat it…!" where he was quickly engulf of a white light.
(Godannar: Engage end)
Audience
Many were watching as the battle took place. They witness the defeat of Naruto's shadow clones from Neji's Kaiten where they then heard the flaming, lightning drill collide with each other. After a moment of clashing, a giant explosion appeared in front of them. Everyone had to embrace themselves a bit since the sound blast was pretty big.
Tenten look in horror, "Neji!" she thought in concern considering the destructive explosion that happened.
"Be alright Neji!" Hiashi thought, where the Hanabi and the Hyuga elders look on with anticipation on what has happened.
"Oh Man… what force…" Asuma thought since the dust cloud still covered the arena floor, where he and Kurenai wondered on what happened to N and Neji, as well as being worried for Genma, hoping he didn't get caught in the explosion.
In the Kage booth, the kages themselves were also curious on what happened. Sarutobi hoped that both contestants were alright. While the Kazekage only looked with a bit of anticipation to see on what had happened.
The Mizukage thought, "Extraordinary… N's attack is truly one to be feared since if anyone took a hit that power, I doubt they still be alive or at least be standing." With awe in her eyes as she tried to look through the dust cloud.
A only looked on with worry as he hoped that Naruto made it since the explosion was something that not many can walk away from.
Contestant box
The Temari had a shock look on her face at how powerful the attack N was, as well as Neji's Kaiten since N's attack really put it through the ringer. Gaara only looked on, with his eyes a bit wide, with curiosity since the battle was really destructive.
Ko and Shino looked on without showing any expression on their face, while on the inside were very kneeling over on what happened in the explosion. Shikamaru thought, "Oh man, how troublesome… these guys are nuts… I'm just glad that I don't have to face either one of them since I can't fight against guys this strong."
Samui, Haku, and Karui looked with worry looks considering on who they were cheering for. Karui only gripped on the rail bar in front of her, hoping to see her teammate Naruot still standing.
"Please… please be alright…?" Haku thought as she was worried for N's safety.
"Naruto, you've got to hang in there… come on, you're the only that can take on Ko and Gaara." Samui thought, while she also hope that he was alright.
Arena
As the dust cloud began to settle down, a light wind came into the arena and blew a bit of the dust away which help clear the area a bit. Everyone was then started to see through the dust cloud to see a shadow of someone on one knee. Everyone wondered on who it was.
(Naruto Shippuden OST: Shippuden)
Slowly, the person in the dust cloud began to stand up on both his 2 feet. Another moment or two, the light breeze pushed a bit more, clearing the view to see that person that was standing was Naruto, while he dusted himself off.
As soon as the dust cloud settled, the audience was then able to see the destruction that was unleashed. In front of Naruto, a trench about 3 inches deep ran straight through were in the other end to see a giant hole, were the people that were able to see, that Neji was now struggling to get back into the arena from. From that, everyone figured out that Naruto's kick not only broke Neji's Kaiten and smash him through the wall onto the other side.
When Neji was finally able to get back in, everyone notice that half of Neji's clothing, the top half, was completely destroyed. For N, the only damage he received was on his mask. The fire that was created with his lightning was somehow able to burn bit of his clothing, more to his mask. Like in the preliminary round, only the top side of his mask was destroyed revealing his right eye and his golden blond hair.
Audience
Everyone was shock on what has happened. The Hyuga members were completely shock since N was able to break their clan's absolute defense.
Tenten thought, "It's impossible…! How…? How was N able to break Neji's defense…?" with shock and disbelief on her face. HInata was also wondering, while also blushing at seeing Naruto's blond hair and blue eyes since she didn't know what Naruto looked like.
The Kage's were also wondering on what Naruto on how he was able to break the Kaiten so easily.
Arena
As Neji was struggling to get back onto his feet, he looked to see that N was perfectly fine, with just a bit of burn marks on his clothing and skin. Once Neji was able to stand he then said, "H-H-How? How i-is it that you w-we-ere able to br-break my Kaiten?" questioning Naruto
Naruto simply looked at Neji and answered, "I've told you before Hyuga-san that I was able to find the weaknesses of your jutsu and that Kaiten has 3." Shocking everyone in the stadium at what he was saying.
Naruto then began to explain the Kaiten weaknesses. He first explains that he first weakness is the chakra requirement since it needs a large amount of it to use efficiently. The second is the spin since if the person can't spin, then the jutsu is worthless.
"And the third weakness?" Neji asked
"It's the spin itself." Naruto answered
Naruto began to explain that not only the Kaiten defend against most attacks, but also turns the opponents own energy against them. This shock the Hyuga clan since Naruto was able to figure out. Reading their mind, Naruto explain that the reason he knew that part was because it takes a certain amount of force to not only block his shadow clones, but to dispelled them all at the same time. It was there that he was able to figure it out.
Once Naruto explained on the first 2 weaknesses, he move on to explain on how he use the third weakness in order to break the Neji's defense since he used the example of 2 tops spinning in the opposite direction from one another where the both of them would cancel each other out because they spun in the opposite direction from one another. He then explained that he used his Fire Soul Breaker to spin in the opposite direction of Neji's own spin. With it, Naruto gain back the energy that Neji's Kaiten sent back to him, doubling Naruto Fire Soul Breaker and overpowering it to a whole new level.
Naruto also explained that he notice that during his juken strikes and disarming his shadow clones, that Neji always used his right hand, where he figured that Neji would spin were his dominate hand was, which was his right, telling him that it was going to be a clockwise spin.
When Naruto finished explaining, Neji only looked with both shock and anger at how Naruto simply defeated his absolute defense. The Hyuga members were complete shock on how Naruto was able to figure out their clan's defensive jutsu.
It was then that everyone's thought stopped when Naruto said, "It's over… I've broken your so-called destiny and defeated your so-called absolute defense, not to mention because of my last attack, your completely injured with probably a broken bone or damage organs. Accept your defeat since you have nothing left to fight with." Naruto stated
Neji only growled in fury since Naruto was basically saying the same thing he says to both Hinata and Lee, making him sound like he was a weakling. He was also angered on who Naruto was standing in front of him, all high and mighty (DBZ: Goku first turn into a SSJ or Gohan's first time as SSJ 2 against Cell).
Neji yelled out, "This battle isn't over you pathetic and worthless Kumo brat!" where he was about to make a run towards him with whatever strength he got. Before he could, Naruto said, "If you want to continue this meaningless fight now, fine by me. But seeing as you're clearly hurt, I'll give you a handicap…" where Naruto turned his back on Neji, "… there my back turned on you, how's that."
When Neji saw Naruto turning his back on him, his rage went to a whole new level since Naruto just basically insulting him, telling him that he's no longer a threat or a opponent to face. For any shinobi, it's an insult of honor.
All of Konoha citizen and Nin that were looking at the match couldn't help but feel petty for Neji since he was being insulted in the worse way since Naruto was looking at him as a opponent, but as a child. The Raikage smiled at how N has completely defeated the Hyuga clan prodigy in both skill and in mind games.
(Naruto Shippuden OST end)
Neji quickly ran towards Naruto, preparing to kill him, when Naruto just suddenly disappeared and repeared in front of him, delivering a powerful kick at his chin, just like Lee use on Sasuke. Naruto then performed the Dancing Leaf Shadow on Neji. Once in the air, Neji couldn't do anything since his body was now screaming in pain, where Naruto appeared in front of him and delivered an even more powerful Shishi Rendan. When they hit the ground, Naruto used Neji's own body as a spring broad when he finished his combo with his right leg to do a horizontal front flip, but jumping backwards instead of forward. Naruto in a crouching position, where he kneeled on his right knee, while his left leg was stretch out and both his were behind him, completely different from Sasuke's own landing.
When it was over, Neji was on the arena floor inside a crater that his body created when he hit the ground hard. He couldn't move since he body was already sever, but now he knows that his body is completely damage with several organs damage and possibly with a more than 3 broken bones and/or damage ribs.
Everyone was complete stunned at how Naruto took down Neji, without any worries at all. Hinata only sighed in both worry and relief. She was worried that Neji or Naruto would hurt each other several, which was the case with Neji, while she was relieved to know that the match is over and that Naruot was fine even with Neji severally injured. Tenten sadly look on at her teammate, being defeated so easily without Naruto even trying to fight him serious at all.
Naruto slowly walk over to Neji's battered body, where he looked down on him with his piercing eyes. Neji struggled to move his body where he then felt someone was standing over him. Neji was about to say something, before Naruto place his left foot just below Neji's neck. It was very painful for him because of his injuries.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, where Neji could truly see his eyes from his torn part of Naruto's mask. Naruto was looking at Neji with hateful, cold, vengeful eyes at him. Neji tried to look at him the same way, but Naruto's was much more piercing. The audience that were able to see Naruto's eyes saw the cold stare that he was giving Neji.
Naruto put more pressure on his left foot, giving Neji a more uncomfortable feeling, where Neji then heard Naruto speak.
"Hurts, doesn't it… now imagine the same feeling that you gave to Hinata. Not nice, huh. But unlike us, Hinata doesn't have any hatred towards you. But I do, but not because you're a Hyuga… but because you have the same eyes that the rest of these Konoha citizens and shinobi that they truly have." Stated Naruto with a deep dark voice
Neji was about to say something, but stop when Naruto continue to speak to him. "You say have it tough, with the Hyuga main family… huh, that laughable compared to what I have to suffer from this village. The village that not only gave me my drive, but also my fears, my hatred… By my own person rights, I have the right to kill you… in fact, I should." Naruto said coldly where he summoned his sheathed broadsword. He quickly unsheathe it where he held the bladed edge right over Neji head, where Neji had a fearful look on his face.

Before things could get out of hand, Genma reappeared behind Naruto. Naruto didn't flinch when Genma appeared. It was then that Genma decided to end the fight here and said, "The match is over, N from Kumo is the winner!" where Genma looked at Naruto, "Alright kid, the battle is over. Put the sword away and walk to the contestant box."
Naruto didn't move his sword or anything away from Neji. For a moment, Naruto didn't say anything. It was then that Naruto said, "Your right… this match is over now." With that statement, Naruto brought grip the sword with both his hands as he raised it higher and brought down just as quickly at Neji's face as he yelled out in anger.
Genma and everyone else was surprise as Naruot ignored Genma's call and attack Neji with the intent to kill. There wasn't anyone that could stop it at time, where everyone saw Naruto plunge his sword at Neji's face. The impact was so strong that it created a dust cloud, that block the view, where Naruto plunge his sword so far down that he held the hilt of his sword at his waist.
Everyone was afraid on what they were going to witness, to see a sword plunge right through the skull of a young genin.
Hiashi and the Hyuga elders stood up in horror as they yelled out Neji's name with concern or fear. Hinata and Tenten also yelled out for Neji's safety. Many of the Konoha shinobi stood up, while others stayed seated. The civilians look onward with stun looks, while others, mostly women, turned away to not see the kill.
Once the dust cloud settles in, everyone could see what happened. Naruto plunge his sword, but away from Neji's face, only giving him a scratch from the bladed weapon. Neji had his eyes closed where he slowly open them to see the sword on his left side. Naruto continue to look at Neji, before he pulled out his sword and slowly put it away in its sheath.

"Doesn't feel good, doesn't it… now imagine Hinata when you tried to do the same thing. But unlike you, Hinata never closed her eyes for her close call to death." Naruto said as he step away from Neji.
Neji looked at Naruto, "Wh-why…? Y-you said that you ha-hate Ko-Kon-oha just as I h-hate Ku-Kumo. So-so why di-didn't you kill me?"
"Because if I do kill you, then I would…" Naruto said before he remembered on what Konoha has done to him from the time he could remember to the time they threw him out at death door, "… I would become just like them, like this village. And I personally don't want to stain my hands with this village's blood, no matter how much hatred I have for this village, I will not kill anyone for my own personal reasons. I don't intend for you to figure it out my personal vendetta, or for me to fully understand your problem with the main Hyuga family. I do know that everyone has a choice, a choice that can break destiny. Unlike you, I never intend to kill in this fight, since I have that choice. And just like Hinata has started to choice her own path, a path that I'm willing to bet she'll succeed in, you have the ability to break this so-called destiny thing if you just gather all the courage and started to do something about it. And with this, this match is officially over." Naruto stated. He was just about to walk away, when he turned back to Neji and said, "Oh, FIY I don't have the Byakugan implanted in me… instead the Hyuga Byakugan pales in comparison from what I have." Naruto finished
Naruto then started to walk away, where Genma once again said that this match was over, with N being the winner. With that, the Kumo shinobi that were there applauded Naruto's accomplishment, while those who bet on him also cheered him since they made a nice tidy earning from his win.
