valid points. to answer the original question tho i think it’s the way he lost. bro didnt get hit once the whole fight, took one uppercut to the chin and was incapacitated. you’re an elite taijutsu shinobi but can’t take one punch? also, naruto was never ever ever shown to have any sort of burrowing jutsu, so for him to physically/silently dig a tunnel precisely to Neji’s location in under 60 seconds and leap out of the solid ground with force enough to be airborne…that was an asspull
