 * Neji claimed that fate has already been decided at birth and there is no way for Naruto, who is believed to be a failure, to change it. His defeat leads him to believe he can change his fate. However, Naruto is later revealed to not only the son of the Fourth Hokage, he's Will of Fire incarnate, Asura's transmigrant and the Child of Prophecy. Neji's belief in an unchanging fate was completely justified but hey, somebody had to get skewered for Naruhina's sake.

While I do agree with some points and can't argue on Naruto becoming way too 'special' for his message to Neji to have quite the same impact but Naruto could still of been all those things and still be a failure. It was not where Naruto came from that mattered but where he decided to go with what he had I mean there must of been at least one evil or disappointing Ashura transmigrant.
 * When Obito and Kakashi are arguing whether they should save Rin or not, Kakashi claimed that Rin is not as important as completing the mission, due to learning from Sakumo's experience. Had they not saved Rin and completed the mission, Obito wouldn't have become Tobi, Madara's old ass would still be chilling underground and basically all of Naruto wouldn't have happened. In other words, the Shinobi Rules, while harsh, are there for a reason: they work.

No not really because regardless Madara could still have found someone else to be Tobi (a man as resourceful as Madara would never be without a back up) and although would be severe changes to the timeline stuff would still go down and the rules would have stopped jack all... also because plot is more important than sense sometimes.
