Team 8/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Naruto defeating the Kaiten by turning part of the arena into swampy ground and letting Neji screw himself ten feet underground.

** [[Stealth Pun|"Neji,"]] "screw." [[Fridge Brilliance|Beautiful.]]

** Some people have claimed this is [[Epic Fail]] rather than awesome- but let us remind them of one fact: {{spoiler|during his fight with Neji in the finals, Naruto took ''him'' out with a single punch- and that's ''in canon!''}}

* After having all his tenketsu points closed by Neji's Jyuken strikes, Naruto blows them open with a technique he learned from sparring with Hinata. The resulting chakra pulse bowls over Hayate and sends Neji airborne.

** An unforgettable [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] just after the above scene:

'''Naruto:''' Just as impossible as fighting against fate. Just as impossible as fighting a Jyuuken user hand to hand. }}

* Naruto puts his money where his mouth is and beats the stuffing out of the Hyuuga prodigy ''in taijutsu''.

* Hey, hey, what about Naruto [[Curb Stomp Battle|pwning]] Gaara?

* Shino, after figuring out that the Kyuubi had been sealed inside his teammate, verbally crucifies his clan's elders for their treatment of and attitude towards Naruto.

'''Shino:''' [[Stealth Insult|Your choice of pronoun speaks volumes, esteemed elder]]. }}

* Kurenai in chapter 20 manages to escape Tsukuyomi.

* Kakashi and Asuma {{spoiler|standing on either side of [[Jerkass|Hyuuga]] [[Abusive Parents|Hiashi]] and threatening him to keep him from punishing Hinata for 'breaking decorum' and comforting Naruto during Kurenai's funeral.}}

** Kakashi accomplishes this by {{spoiler|threatening to share his secrets for beating the Byakugan with the entire village}} while Asuma goes with the direct approach:

'''Kakashi''': No, I don't...but I ''do'' have a right to share any jutsu I've acquired. You know, '[[Red Baron|Copy-Cat Ninja Kakashi]]' and all that. Bingo book says I know over a thousand. ''(nonchalant shrug)'' I know of at least two dozen that can neutralize or otherwise bypass eye bloodlines...like the Byakugan. Iruka's always after me to contribute some jutsu to the Academy curriculum, especially for their advanced jutsu workshops.<br />

'''Hiashi''': ''(pissed)'' That's treason!<br />

** {{spoiler|First, it means that Hinata, [[Handicapped Badass|a genin technically on sick leave]], beat a kunoichi who should have, by all rights, been made a chunin. Second, she beat a ninja who beat one of her seniors (Ten-Ten (stop laughing)) and the smartest ninja of her generation (technically Shikamaru forfeited but it still counts). Third, despite being the least threatening person in the cast, it showed off how swift and cunning she could be [[Beware the Nice Ones|if pressed]] (evading Gaara's sand claw [[She Fu|with a backflip]], [[Fake Weakness|using a downed clone to draw Temari in for an attack...]]). And... when the Sands surrender and it's all said and done, she goes back to being [[Shrinking Violet|quiet,]] [[The Messiah|gentle]] [[Humble Hero|Hinata]].}} Awesome.

* Hinata's reaction to Naruto being told by a school doctor that he's a monster {{spoiler|in regards to making his first kill}}

{{spoiler|'''Hinata:''' That's bullshit!}} }}
