@Jakefirestorm. Man, that was an impressively well written story. I sincerely like the way you said it. But Lightning is weak against Wind. So the only thing that had an elemental advantage(if it did have a element) would be Gaara's sand.

While your opinion of the fight is accurate enough. I still think yiu missed some points. Just ones that would be important in this. Like, since Gaara is replaced by Neji, then Kakasbi would explain about the Byakugan to Sasuke and tell him about how it's not wise to go for a close combat. Just like Kakashi told him about Gaara's sand. The whole purpose of the one month break between the chunnin exams was for the genins to know the jutsu of their opponents and train to deal with it, like real shinobi.

And every battle has a difference with a single change. Sasuke will be prepared with Shurikens and Kunais. With the Sharingan, he can check out Neji's chakra and everything about his jutsus and movements.

So here's small version of how I think it'll go,

Neji stands confidently, and tells Sasuke to come at him. Sasuke knowing Neji's Byakugan, decides it's wiser to stand in a distance till he can get Neji weaker. He throws on his Shurikens(which I think is better than Tenten's), Neji blocks on them. Sasuke throws on a shuriken with an explosive tag, which Neji easily uses rotation to block against. Sasuke goes on to jumping around Neji to find a blind spot against Neji, with a barrage of shurikens.

Then Neji notices Sasuke is distracted, he goes on the offensive and attacks him, hitting his chakra points, it's then revealed to be a body replacement jutsu. Sasuke throws a shuriken at Neji, which he catches. He then explains that there is no way for Sasuke to catch him offguard. Sasuke believes that.

So Sasuke starts on to make a new plan. He throws on a few shurikens which goes past Neji, and is then revealed to be strings, and ties around Neji. Sasuke quickly uses the fire style jutsu on the strings, with Neji quickly trying to cut through, the strings with his chakra(he did like against Kidomaru), While he did cut through the strings, he didn't have time to start the rotation, thus trying to escape the fire that was an inch away, causing him immense damage.

Neji impressed by this, remarks on about it. But Sasuke doesn't waste his time on it, and throws around another bunch of shurikens, which Neji uses rotation to counter.

Neji decides on to attack Sasuke head on, before he uses another another one of those techniques. He rushes upto Sasuke. Sasuke activates his Sharingan and dodges against Neji. Taking a distance away from him. Neji still goes against him. Knowing he can't defend using his Byakugan for the whole time. Sasuke uses Shurikens to throw against Neji again. Who he blocks. And then Sasuke uses his fireball jutsu again. Neji uses rotation to counter it. By now Neji get's worried. He is starting to get tired and notices is as well.

He then goes on the offensive, with Sasuke waiting for that. He starts his Chidori, and goes straight towards Neji, who is running straight at him. Neji since running to attack Sasuke, didn't expect a jutsu like that straight against him. And isn't ready to make rotation. Thus Sasuke is next to him with Chidori, and he can't do rotation while mid run, as Sasuke planned. And in a moment of a second, Sasuke hit against his his body, avoiding to hit vital points.

Well this is how I see this fight going. Obviously, there can be other scenarious. And that's what I love about Naruto, fights always have different scenarious with just a single change. And that's why your idea of this fight is correct, as is mine as well.

@James. What would I gain for making things up in here? Neji's better than Lee without gates. But not at speed. No one ever mentioned about him being better than speed. Lee cannot get through the rotation. That's not a speed feat. If it was, then it's like saying Gaara is as fast as Lee, just because his sand sheild can defend against him. Or Sasuke faster than the raikage fr using susanoo, or Itachi being faster than Kirin for defending against it. See how ridiculous it seems? Gai himself was amazed by Sasuke reaching Lee's speed, remarking on how it Lee years to gain that, and remarking on him being like Kakashi. If Neji was as fast as Lee, then wouldn't Gai give a mention? Plus, we literally seen Lee never took out his weights without a real reason. So, all the time he was against Neji, was with the weights. Or else did he consider that a serious moment? Lol. So no, it wasn't Lee's speed, it was his lack of any powerful jutsu other than from the gates to match the rotation. So, let's not make things up, eh?

I mentioned that technique because Gai himself comfirmed "Even Neji cant beat that." Gai should know about Neji and his rotation. So since you all made Neji's rotation invisible here, I just mentioned that it isn't. And even it can get overpowered.

Dude, Sasuke could not match a post Rasengan trained, with more Kurama chakra amped Naruto not the one Neji fought. It's literally there. Are you purposely not noticing it?

Gaara was influenced by Shikaku, even at his genin base. Plus, the only reason he needed curse mark, was to use the Chidori again. And Gaara's chakra had more power than that Naruto version who fought against Neji. Sasuke was still able to slice through the sand, showing the power of the Chidori. Plus, Uchiha's are known for their powerful chakra or rather feared for it. And Sasuke was a transmigrant.

Sorry, but this is getting old, the Chidori is an S rank jutsu, it's really, really strong. And Naruto had only a little amount of chakra, he had in compared against Gaara and Sasuke.

How can you make things up like that? The only thing Haku did was run in to take the Chidori. I bet Kakashi wasn't even at his fastest. If it had to be a speed feat, then it has to be him taking Zabuza and dodging or blocking the Chidori itself, not by taking it, lmao. Plus, Haku was getting beaten by Sasuke and his Sharingan, Sasuke even managed to stop Haku emerging from his ice. So if you're saying with that logic, than Sasuke's faster than Kakashi, stupid logic, right? And I believe Gai said it himself that he's faster than Kakashi(even though, this doesn't change the fact of that logic, you just said)

@Namikaze. Have you not seen the chapter where Lee fought against Gaara? Lee himself was surprised by Gai letting him go of his weights. Which wasn't allowed other than at serious moment to save someone. So, while training, did Neji try to kill someone? Maybe Tenten? I wonder.

Just for comparrision, Sasuke also fought Haku. Plus, Haku himself admitted that he was getting tired after fighting on against Sasuke and Naruto. And he was reacted by Sasuke, even with his amazing speed with the ice too.

And Sasuke fought with Gaara, who was already a monstrosity in base. Gaara who was known to not even get a scratch, got completely recked in base mode by Sasuke. So why isn't any of this taken in?

Oh and Sasuke did by pass Gaara's sand, without his Sharingan as well. So I don't get where you going with this.

Lol, so wasn't Naruto there? So wasn't Sakura there? And Gaara himself admitted to Sasuke being just Like Lee, and he saw Naruto. And yes, Naruto was in blindning speed, just like everyone who was close or even more faster than him, starting from Haku himself.

It isn't observation, it's common sense. Why would everyone be shocked by the Chidori piercing thriugh Gaara's sand then? You're literally making things up. Gaara's ninjutsu isn't elemental. It's based on as a ninjutsu, that's all.

Yes, it works on different principles. But the thing is, Gaara's sand stays as it is. While Neji will still have a limit. He can't use rotation during the whole battle. A couple of explosive tags and fire releases would result him in using more and more of his chakra. Draining him of his own.

He wasn't barely hitting Gaara, he was literally playing with Gaara. Kicking him around and teasing him around. Which got Gaara to use the whole sand shield around him. And how was Sasuke going to get caught?

He can tire out Neji. Real battles aren't "I'm gonna use my most powerful attack on you, so I could defeat you and be cool!" their well thought out, Sasuke isn't an idiot to get close to Neji. And Neji isn't perfect. Just look at the small battle scenario I wrote at the begining.

So people, Lee claimed that Neji was better than him which made you believe that Neji cannot be defeated, he also claimed Sasuke was better than him, so....

As I've said, battles are more complocated than just one jutsu over another. So I'll say Sasuke take this, as well as saying Neji can too. It isn't like Sasuke is leagues above Neji. Sasuke has the speed and the brains and skills to beat Neji, while Neji can win against Sasuke in also other scenarios. Well this is just my own opinion, and as I've said earlier. I'm done here. Peace!
