You could say that Neji was the first big battle that Naruto had without Nine Tailed berserk form….well you’d be right! Back then Naruto barely scored a win against Neji because of Neji’s tough hand to hand skills mized with his rotation. Now a days things would be a lot easier for Naruto. He’s faster and stronger than Neji and could punch him out before he got the rotation up. Naruto wins.

Neji is simply amazing! The best defense and an lighting quick offense.
Yeah, back when he fought Naruto he was clobbering him. He was superior to Naruto in hand to hand skills and defense by far. Naruto just couldn’t keep up with him. Neji even became a Jonin pretty quickly.
