Neji puts down Naruto like he should have, Sasuke wins his match, fights continue as scheduled, who would have won???

Neji solidly unless chidori can puncture Neji's rotation.

In that case still Neji but its a good fight.

Sasuke had the curse mark around that time also... I think that factor would help him prevail

Depends, Kakashi would probably forfeit on Sasuke's behalf if it became an issue.

Minus plot-no-jutsu maybe it helps Sasuke but it has an equal chance of screwing him over.

Neji most likely. Chidori wouldn't help against Neji because his ultimate defense isn't static, like Gaara's was. He can start it and stop it on a dime, he only uses it for seconds at a time and he can see everything occurring around him while he's doing it.

He utterly destroys Sasuke in a taijutsu exchange- Lee with his weights on was moving faster than Sasuke's sharingan could perceive, and Lee with the weights off was still too slow to keep up with Jedi- and Sasuke's ninjutsu at that point wasn't advanced enough to put fourth anything Neji couldn't either dodge or deflect with spinning palms.

Not a whole lot Sasuke can do.

What? You guys are crazy.

Sasuke was as fast as Lee was without his weights on, by Lee's own admission. Not to mention he has sharingan, and could perceive anything Neji would do before he did it. Neji's taijutsu would be useless SOLELY because of those two factors. Not to mention Sasuke has chidori, and curse mark.

Chidori would EAT through rotation. Naruto was able to cancel it out with a kunai in his first 9-tails mode, not even with the cloak. Sasuke's chidori is equivalent to Naruto's rasengan, which is MUCH stronger than a casual kunai. All those factors together, Sasuke would tear through rotation, and pierce Neji no problem.

Neji's only defenses here are the fact that he can see 360 degrees around him, and that he's such a taijutsu expert, but both of those are useless if Sasuke can beat his taijutsu because of sharingan, and blitz him from all over.

It would be a good fight, but Sasuke could probably wrap it up with taijutsu alone, and would definitely win if he used chidori.

Neji repeatedly one shot Lee pre timeskip/training period.

Lee with his weights off was too slow to beat Neji- hence why he trained into the Gates. He learned the gates specifically to defeat Neji.



Already debunked. Being able to perceive an opponents' attack is useless if your body isn't fast enough to react to it. If Sasuke is= to Lee in speed, that means he's still slower than Neji.


Chidori would never hit the rotation, nor Neji. It's a highly telegraphed move that requires Sasuke to move in a straight line.

So basically, Sasuke would get his ass beat.

Prove Neji is faster than Lee.

In running speed Lee is faster, in reaction speed Neji repeatedly made very short work of him. Off topic it's sad how they nerfed Neji.

What? Are you saying Neji is faster than Lee? Neji is only able to beat Lee because of his 360 defense and vision. Even by Lee's own admission, he is still ridiculously faster than Neji, even without the gates.

Sasuke IS fast enough to react, considering he's AS FAST AS LEE, who is MUCH faster than Neji. Lee even said that Sasuke had gained enough speed to use his sharingan effectively. Neji could beat Lee because he was equal at taijutsu to him, but could see every angle Lee could come from at once. Without that, Neji would have been beaten by Lee a long time ago.

What? How does that matter? Chidori is faster than anything Neji can react to, and it's more powerful than his strongest defense by LEAGUES. Plus, Sasuke doesn't have to move in a straight line with it. Kakashi said that it was extremely effective with him because he DIDN'T have to just shoot and pray it landed, he could see accurately because of his sharingan.

All of what you're saying is based on the false premise that Neji is somehow faster than Lee, who by Gai's admission is superior physically to him in almost every way, and was able to move fast enough to use the lotus techniques. Whereas Neji wasn't.

pym-ftw
When did Lee state he was faster than Neji?

Either way why does it matter; Neji can out react Lee period, Agreed?

When did Lee say he was faster?

Prove it.

Prove it.

Rotation was barely beginning when Naruto hit it with his Kunai and kyubbi chakra. It's not like it was in full swing, it hadn't even formed a dome.
