Wait, you guys do know that Neji was literally blown into the ground even by with his rotation? It means that it's not perfect not even close, Neji was literally a punch away from being defeat.

@Namikaze. Neji never easily kept up with Naruto, maybe that was in the anime, but in the manga, Neji and Naruto clashed pretty fast, the whole dodging and running into each other wasn't in the manga, I suppose. And those shurikens weren't powered up by anything, they were literally normal shurikens that he blocked. He saw the shurikens and Naruto coming and he activated his rotation, it wasn't exactly like he blocked it with real taijutsu or dodged it. Neji literally was shocked about Naruto's speed, and he did not show any feat of reacting against that speed, rather just staying in his position and blocking Naruto with rotation.

The Naruto that fought Neji wasn't even close to as powerful as the one who fought Sasuke. This Naruto just emitted orange chakra, while his eyes and teeth were normal, indicating the difference from the one that fought Sasuke, who had red eyes and fangs, and clearly demostrated the difference in power and speed. And don't forget that this Naruto also trained alot between that period. So the power difference and training/experience of this Naruto, is not to be compared to the fight during the chunnin exams.

Neji wasn't shocked? I believe I saw him saying "This is Lee?", even if it didn't happen, Neji is known for being highly arrogant before the chunnin exams. For example, Sasuke saw everything Naruto did against Gaara, and yet he called him a weakling.

And as I've said above, Neji was blown down to the ground, he was down for a single punch. So the rotation isn't a absolute defence like the others, if it was, then Neji would have been able to deflect every one of the thorns(or something) the Ten tails sent.

Plus, Sasuke did fight against Tailed beast mode Gaara. He still held himself well, for not being a jinchuriki.

@Rachin. Neji just stood there, he waited for Naruto to come. It was no big feat of reaction. If it can be considered, then basically Itachi reacted against Kirin(which he did not), instead of waiting for Kirin to be launched. Naruto wasn't blindly fast. I don't know if he even was fast as Lee.

And as I've said, Neji was blown away by Naruto, so the rotation, even how hard he tries, isn't perfect.

And yes, Sasuke's stamina isn't compared to Lee. But the speed he posseses is enough to end the match in a quick run.

@Hero. Sasuke won't use Chidori right away, he uses it as a last resort, or when it's the perfect time to use.

He can just throw shurikens that will lead to Neji using using rotation, which will lead to Neji's own chakra reserves depleting. Sasuke's the type of shinobi whi waits till his enemy is at his weakest point to get the best shot. And compared to a Hyuga, I think a Uchiha, especially a reincarnation, would potentielly have the larger chakra reserves.

And let's not forget what's the Sharingan is for, Neji literally has a blindspot. And the Sharingan literally used for analysing. Sasuke will try to search for a weakspot, and with his geniusness and the Sharingan, he mighy just well.

And I'm pretty sure that the jutsu that pierced Gaara's sand sheild, and his own arm, can pierce throigh the rotation.

This is just my own opinion.
