Naruto jumped back and threw several shuriken and kunai at Neji who smiled and sidestepped the attack. Naruto then did a hand sign and summoned 4 shadow clones to help him, the clones all holding kunai.

'Seems that all of them have a chakra network, making it difficult to tell which is the real one,' thought Neji, before smirking, 'though it doesn't matter, as the real one is still among them.'

'If I remember correctly, Hyuga seems to mostly use taijutsu,' thought Naruto, as his four clones rushed in to attack the Hyuga.

The first two shadow clones rushed in to attack, trying to strike Neji with the kunai, but Neji flipped over the clones before doing a spinning kick which hit both clones. Neji, however, didn't notice the two clones behind him that were about to stab him with the kunai, but it never hit as the Hyuga had caught the kunai, before elbowing both of the clones in the chin, and then hitting both of the clones.

They all dispelled and Neji smirked at Naruto, who looked at him in shock.

'Does this guy have eyes on the back of his head?' thought Naruto, his face serious and collected.

"Become Hokage, eh? It's impossible for you, talent is decided at your birth, everything is decided at your birth, I can figure it out with these eyes," said Neji, as Naruto looked at him unimpressed.

"Why the hell do you say things and decide things like that?" asked Naruto.

"Then are you saying anyone can become Hokage through hard work?" asked Neji, "despite only a few being chosen."

"Look closer at reality! Those that become Hokage are born into that destiny, you don't become it by trying, it is decided by fate, people must live in their unchanging flow, one one fate is shared by everyone, death," said Neji, for a second, Naruto processed his words, before bursting out laughing, as Neji looked at him confused.

"After this is over, I have to introduce you to the Pervy Sage, the man's an idiot and a pervert, he is always yelling and doing stupid stuff, and I've seen the guy's test scores, they suck almost as bad as mine," said Naruto, as Neji looked insulted.

"You dare mock me, Uzumaki?" asked Neji, his anger showing.

"Sure, fate is not you're decided flow, or else, your friend Lee would be nothing, fate is the consequences of our decisions," said Naruto, as he did a hand sign and summoned hundreds of clones.

"Wise words," said the Kazekage, "though I am curious about this pervy sage?"

"I believe he speaks of my student, Jiraiya, though I have to agree with him," said Sarutobi, to which the Kazekage nodded, while Raido Namiashi tried to understand why Naruto would call the Toad Sage these things.

"I am not stupid, I see through your attack pattern," said Neji.

"Stop assuming," said Naruto, as his clones rushed in from all sides at Neji, but found that they couldn't grab him.

"Damn it, I can't catch him!" shouted Naruto, as Neji rushed through the clones, forming what would be a blur.

"I know where you're real body is," exclaimed Neji, as he rushed towards the Naruto, that was standing behind the clones and hitting the one at the end.

"Fearing having your tenketsu shut, the real body did the least amount of attacking, the more you attack the clearer it becomes," said Neji, as smoke started to fill the arena as all the clones dispelled and Naruto spit out some blood, "you are the real one, you have lost"

"Idiot, I told you not to pre-decide anything," said Naruto, as Neji's eyes widened.

'He's gathering chakra,' thought Neji, surprised as before he knew it, Naruto exploded, creating a giant explosion that sent him flying.

"What the hell was that?" asked Kiba, as he tried to process what happened.

"Shadow clone explosion, I believe, one summons a shadow clone that would explode, creating a large explosion that could even kill someone," said the Commander.

Hinata was with Chunins Izumo and Kotetsu, who both looked to be analytical.

"He deceived Neji Hyuga into believing that he was the real one but in truth, he was the trick so that he could lull Neji into a false sense of security, before blowing him up, clever," said Kotetsu, as Izumo nodded.

"But will it be enough?" asked Kotetsu, Sakura on the other hand was confused, about multiple things.

'Where did Naruto learn that jutsu?' she thought as Neji landed on the ground, rolling a bit before finally stopping. He spit out some blood, as the entire stadium looked awed.

"Holy shit! Naruto drew first blood!" shouted the Inuzuka boy.

"Language, there are a few children here, but I believe this match has just gotten more interesting," said the Commander, as they all focused intently on the match.

Two Narutos, rushed towards Neji, holding Kunai, who got up and wiped his mouth and before they could strike, Naruto only had a single thought.

'He's gathering chakra,' thought Naruto, as Neji started to spin, forming a barrier around him that sent the two Narutos flying.

"What was that?" asked Naruto, as he got up.

"8 triagrams: palm rotation," said Hiashi, as he watched in awe.

'That's Neji's defense,' thought Tenten, excited, 'Neji's vision sphere with the Bakugan is almost 360 degrees, he can see all around him, and with the Byakugan, he can sense all of his opponents' attacks, from there, he releases a large amount of chakra from openings through out his body, spinning his body like a top, it blasts all attacks away, normally control of chakra from the chakra openings are difficult, even a jounin can only release chakra from his hands or his legs, one part of his body while doing the technique, but Neji who has mastered Gentle fist, he can release chakra from the entire body and knock away attacks just with that, you could say that it has power that surpasses Gaara's ultimate defence.'

"Father that's yours..." said Hanabi Hyuga.

"Rotation, known to the main branch of the Hyuga, and only passed down through heirs," said Hiashi, "to master this on his own, he truly is a genius.'

'So this is a defensive jutsu where you spin yourself while releasing chakra from all around his body, honestly, that's very cool," said Naruto, as he got up, while Neji went into another stance.

"You are not as stupid as you look, it's over, you are within my field," said Neji, as Naruto looked confused.

"8 trigrams: 64 palms!" shouted Neji, as he began to tap Naruto.

"2 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto twice.

"4 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto, two more times, totalling 4 taps.

"8 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto, 4 more times, totaling 8 taps.

"16 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto, 8 more times, totalling 16 taps.

"32 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto, 16 more times, totalling 32 taps.

"64 palms!" shouted Neji, as he tapped Naruto, 32 more times, totaling 64 taps, as he pushed Naruto away, who landed on the ground. Everyone looked at Naruto, wondering if he would get up.

'It's over,' thought Genma as he was about to call the match, but Naruto went up in smoke, Naruto seemed to phase through the ground until he was standing in front of Neji with a stony expression.

"Didn't Naruto just come out of the ground?" asked Kiba, as they all looked towards the Commander for an explanation, including the Chunin.

"Hiding in surface jutsu, allows one to quickly phase into the ground, it seems that Naruto used his shadow clones to learn the moves of his enemy, he has placed Hyuga at a serious disadvantage as he now knows Neji's tricks but Neji doesn't know all of his," said the Commander.

"As I told you before, I'm not good at giving up," said Neji, as Naruto smirked at him.

"Quit already... I am smarter faster and more skilled than you, I have no grudge against you," said Neji, but Naruto looked him in the eye.

"But I do have a grudge against you," said Naruto, as he looked at Neji, angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"You insulted Hinata without any reason and automatically decided she was a loser, main branch, side branch, I honestly don't know this stuff and what the hell happened," said Naruto, "but pieces of shit like you, I will never forgive."

"All right, if you are going to go this far, I'll at least tell you about the Hyuga's destiny of hatred, before you're defeated," exclaimed Neji.

"What are you talking about?" asked Naruto.

"The Hyuga main branch has a special ninjutsu that has been passed down, it is a curse seal jutsu," said Neji.

"A curse seal?" asked Naruto, a bit confused.

"The curse of the mark represents a 'bird in a cage', it is the symbol of being tied down to an inescapable destiny," said Neji as he moved his hands to the back of his forehead protector and removed it before showing the seal on his forehead.

"Is that the mark?" asked Naruto, disgusted.

"Indeed, you see, one day when I was four, I had this horrible seal carved into my forehead, on that day, a shinobi leader from the land of clouds was visiting the leaf village, but on this day, everyone from Genin to Jounin was attending, one clan was missing, because on that day, the Hyuga heir turned three, lady Hinata's 3rd birthday, my father Hizashi Hyuga and Lord Hiashi Hyuga were twins, but Lord Hiashi was born in this world first, making him the heir and a member of the main branch, while my father, the second son, was placed into the branch house."

Naruto listened intently as Neji continued with his tale, "When the Hyuga first daughter grew and became three, I was turned into a 'bird in the cage', through this curse, as a hyuga branch member."

"Why is the mark necessary? Why do you need that weird mark to distinguish between the main and branch family of the Hyuga?" asked Naruto.

"The curse seal is the absolute fear of death given to the branch families by the main branch family of the Hyuga, with a simple secret hand sign, the branch member's mind can be easily destroyed, death is just as easy, of course, and this curse mark will only disappear after death, sealing up the ability of the byakugan along with it, those of hyuga clan hold a great advanced blood, those that go after those secrets are incalculable, so with this jutsu, the branch family is allowed to live to protect only the main family, no disobedience is allowed by the main family, it's an effective system to eternally protect the advanced byakugan blood of the Hyuga," explained Neji, before closing his eyes, "and then that incident occurred."

"What incident?" asked Naruto, as Neji opened his eyes.

"My father was killed by the main family," said Neji, his eyes showing his rage, "One night lady Hinata was taken by someone but Lord Hiashi quickly dealt with it and killed him, it was dark and he was wearing a mask, who do you think it was?"

"It was the Shinobi leader from the cloud, he was after the secret of the byakugan from the beginning, but with that plan failed and one of their leaders dead, the cloud still wanted the byakugan and the blood, so they demanded the corpse of Hiashi Hyuga, and the leaf agreed to their demands, and war was safely avoided, thanks to my dad, who was killed by the main family to replace Hiashi Hyuga's corpse," said Neji, "to escape this horrible curse, there's no method but death."

'No wonder, Neji's like this but it doesn't excuse his behavior,' thought NARUTO

"They were twins, their strength was virtually the same, but one was born first and the other was born second, Destiny was decided by just that and this fight, your destiny was decided the moment I became your opponent," said Neji, as Naruto looked at him angrily while Neji smiled, "your destiny is to lose to me, there is no doubt."

"We won't know until it is over," said Naruto, as the two stared at each other, sizing each other, "If you wanted pity, I'm sorry to say you will not get it from me, I don't know how much it hurt when your dad was killed a long time ago, but thinking that fate is all decided because of that is a huge mistake."

"You're hopeless," said Neji, as he put the forehead protector back on.

"Coming from the only guy here, whose injured," said Naruto, with a grin, as Neji suddenly charged at him and struck at him with a smile but found himself hitting a stump of wood.

'Substitution,' thought Neji, as he looked around to find Naruto standing next to him, his hands in a hand sign.

"Earth style: great mud river," said Naruto, as the surface under Neji turned into a river that swept off his feet and carried him downstream.

"Is this all?" asked Neji.

"Not at all, bastard," said Naruto, as he went through hand signs, "Earth style: earth dragon bomb!" the mud next to Naruto then formed a dragon-like head which started to shoot mud balls at Neji, who looked shocked for a second.

'I can't spin,' thought Neji as the mud balls hit him and he got balls of mud on his face and chest, some even going in his mouth, before a wave of mud came and hit Neji sending him into the ground as he turned around and spit out both mud and some blood, before looking at Naruto angrily.

"You could never understand what it's like to be burdened with a symbol you could never be rid of!" shouted Neji.

"Yeah I can, and so what? stop acting cool, you're not the only one that's special, Hinata suffered as much as you, a member of the main family but not acknowledged, trying her best to change herself, thinking that as she was coughing blood-fighting you, you're the same, the branch family is supposed to protect the main family, yet doing that to Hinata, you are trying you're hardest to disobey fate!"

Everyone then turned to Hinata, who turned the deepest shade of red, everyone had ever seen on her.

"Exactly why do you try to disobey fate so much?" asked Neji, as he got up.

"Because I was called a loser," answered Naruto as he walked up to the injured Hyuga, "you can't beat me, Neji, you're injured while I'm not."

"Fate has declared me the winner!" shouted Neji.

"Let's end this," said Naruto, as he and Neji looked at each other.

"If you say so," said Neji, as the two rushed at each other, Naruto threw a single shuriken at him, before going through hand signs which multiplied the one into 50, Neji looked shocked for a second, before beginning to spin around.

"Rotation!" shouted Neji, as the dome formed around him, repelling all the shuriken but when he stopped, he saw Naruto, in front of him but before he could block or dodge, Naruto kicked him in the stomach sending him, rolling through the air before landing on the ground, as he planned to get up, Naruto jumped through the air, before his legs landed right on Neji's chest, breaking a few ribs.

"Oooh!" went the crowd, from the painful hit.

The Hyuga spit out blood, before realizing he couldn't move, he had taken too much injury, Naruto then got off of him.

"I was foolish to believe you weak, and the clones you used during the match, it's your main ninjutsu isn't it?" asked Neji, as Naruto sighed.

"You want to know something funny, Neji, I failed the graduation exam 3 times, and that's because unluckily for me, the ninjutsu test on the final day was always decided by my weakest jutsu, the clone jutsu was my worst ninjutsu, destiny can't be changed, blah, blah blah, stop whining about stupid crap like that, since you're not a loser like me," said Naruto, as Neji looked up at him, before nodding, Genma smiled at the kid.

"Winner! Naruto Uzumaki!" shouted Genma, as applause filled the stadium.

"I don't believe I have ever seen a chunin exams final match quite like that one," said the Commander, as the chunin and the genin turned towards the Commander, "I believe Naruto won quite soundly, he used several strategies and quick thinking to beat Neji."

"What do you mean?" asked Kiba.

"You see Naruto used his shadow clones to figure out what Neji could do and smartly kept him at a distance, even injuring him was a clever trick, once Neji had revealed his jutsu, he used the shuriken shadow clone forcing him into rotation which would distract Neji long enough, for Naruto to land that kick which sent Neji flying, before clearly painfully wounding Neji, to keep him down, the rotation may be an ultimate defense but it's weakness seems to be that due to the spinning, Neji can't properly see," explained the Commander, as Hinata and Kiba both smiled at Naruto.

"Jeez, I am so glad that I didn't have to fight Naruto when he was like that," said Kiba, "though I wanna know how he got so strong."

"So that is why you bet on Naruto when we were taking bets and no one else did, you knew that he had gotten stronger and would beat Neji," said Kurenai, looking at Asuma, who smirked while smoking his cigarette.

"I might just give him a nice jutsu as a gift, for the killing I've made tonight," said Asuma.

"Yay, Naruto won!" shouted Sakura, happily, as the crowd went wild with applause.

'Naruto's getting stronger and stronger,' thought Sakura happily.

"The kid's great," said one of the girls next to Sakura.

"Yeah, he's gonna go far," said another of the girls.

'Though I am a bit jealous of you, when I watch you I feel like I have to try harder, that's an incredible thing,' thought Sakura, as she wondered how he got so strong.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" asked Ino

'The kid beat Neji without injury, he's my choice for chunin though a bit excitable,' thought Genma, as he walked next to Neji.

"Heh, even captured a bird, if it's clever enough, will try to open the cage with its beak, never giving up its desire to be free, this time you've lost," said Genma as two medical ninjas arrived, and checked up on Neji.

'You've truly grown, Naruto,' thought Sarutobi, happily, 'I think we have our first chunin of the match.'

"You have some truly interesting, genin, Lord Third," said the Kazekage as he stared at Naruto.

"Indeed," said Sarutobi, as he turned his attention back to the stadium.

'Even if the 9 tails get more powerful, it doesn't matter as Sasuke is still clearly stronger,' thought the 'Kazekage' with a smirk.

AN: If any of you are wondering where this dialogue came from, it's straight from the manga itself. The plan was his original plan plus another plan, it is quite simple and cunning.
