Neji Hyuga

I ain't tripping on no C now.

Naruto, Neji.

Great speech.

Fight mid.

I don't know.

It's definitely not D. It's trash, but it ain't D trash.

It's better than the Neji fight,

bro.

Exist on all the characters we grew up on.

Naruto Shippuden was already doing that a bit, not giving a lot of everyone in the perspective of the Leaf Village's perspective getting a little bit more recognition in there in Naruto Shippuden, especially during the war arc, not getting too much love, and then obviously killing off Neji had some people feeling it some type of way.

But the underlying message in that is that war, there are no real heroes, right?

Yeah.

Or when he was going

against Neji, that man dug through the ground with his fingernails.

His hand was literally bleeding.

He was like, shh, shh,

an anime?

I mean, that was basically Neji and...

What's it face Hinata? Hinata.

They weren't twins, obviously.

hold on, let me finish.

He went down there, was completely outclassed in every freaking way by Neji.

And then he relied on the Ninetales Chakra even to play him.

No, bro, because this is around the same time where Jiraiya was teaching him how to summon Gamabunta and access the Chakra.

for ninjas.

Nah.

Naruto learned to summon, too, when he fought Neji in the Chunin exam.

Exactly.

It's Master, it's Master Shifu.

And so, [laughs] so that was the thing with Fran, where he'd go, like, when he goes, "It's the universe, Neji," you know? Like, that's what that is.

It's the universe, Neji.

And then there was a, like, that was fun.

Like, I remember when, like, and, and I think that that was the thing, where you're trying to do something really serious and heavy, and, like, stuff you shouldn't laugh at, you know? So obviously, Fran's wife, Linda, was kind of like, you know, petrol bomb comes in the window.

The beginning of that story doesn't make any sense anymore.

Him versus Neji and all that stuff, and then only for it to go back around and be like, well, for this to have a big epic finale, we need to have more and more things in the past.

And as we go and detail out the past, we have more and more reasons why Naruto was the super insanely chosen one from the moo- like from the moon all way, all the way forward.

It was ma- it was genetically crafted for you to be the one.

He's faster than whatever-

Yeah, he's, he's better than Neji-

... technique you perceive

... at that point.
