Asuma collapses, mortally wounded in Naruto Shippuden 80 “Last Words”. Shortly thereafter Ino, Chouji, Aoba and Raido appear as the team’s backup. They are unable to defeat the Akatsuki members, but the Akatsuki Leader orders the two back to seal the Two Tails. Hidan and Kakuzu retreat, warning the group that they will return. Ino tries to treat Asuma, but fails, as Hidan’s attacks had damaged vital organs. Asuma leaves advice for his students, mentioning that he now knows who the “king” that the ninjas Konoha must protect is. As he smokes a final cigarette, he dies of his injuries.

@Madara
I remember the last LEGENDARY DEBATE about Sasuke vs Neji….Me you(Madara), Pein, & Kev clearly explained that Neji would win…
But I don’t think Kakashi will die but we all know he will be beaten….If Tsunade dies… Kakashi is clearly the next Hokage as Jariya and Tsunade suggested

6 Rubirosa // Oct 17, 2008 at 3:04 pm
WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO SAY THAT NEJI CAN BEAT SASUKE IN FIGHT AT THIS POINT IN THE MANAGA?? Regardless of how sasuke got his strengh/power……
7 Naruto-6th Hokage // Oct 17, 2008 at 3:59 pm
@Rubi..
It was always clear that Neji can beat Sasuke. Neji is the smartest Genin ever. It was clear at the beginning and rite now in the manga.. Neji defenses are too great
8 Might guy // Oct 17, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I agree with 6th. the signs that neji could beat saskue were there early n the series.think about it rock lee could beat saskue but neji could beat rock lee. of course the conditions have changed but most shows (fiction or non-fiction) has the hero as an under dog but the supporting characters in terms of strength remains the same. now there is no absolute way of knowing who would win now that saskue has a major part in the story. all that we can do is wait on the writer to do what ever. he may want saskue to win or he might be a neji fan.
9 foxxy // Oct 18, 2008 at 2:43 am
man its too sad! i hope naruto will go berserker and force the kuubinu chakura out and blend it whit his rasengan..
10 Inner Sakura // Oct 18, 2008 at 3:27 am
Well if sasuke beat naruto and naruto beat neji but neji beat sasuke then it would be hard to tell who would win in a fight between sasuke and neji. (refering to the fight naruto and sasuke had the day sasuke left)
but im almost posotive now sasuke would win but not when they were genine. back then of course neji would have won.
11 naruto6 // Oct 18, 2008 at 8:59 am
Probably now (in manga) naruto would win agains’t sasuke in sage mode considerin he can make his rasengan massive in the sage mode.
12 ! I-I@t3 $@$kU3 // Oct 18, 2008 at 6:57 pm
yur right neji wouldve won back then but at this point im sry to say sasuke would win. neji never got the recognition he deserved. altough neji iz strong sasuke would win. sasuke has many techniques that he would use and even tough neji haz great defenses he is too weak to fight someone of that caliber. but it is sure that in a fight between shikamaru and neji , neji would surely win. And the Author said in the earlyer books that sasuke iz his favorite and most developed character
13 ! I-I@t3 $@$kU3 // Oct 18, 2008 at 7:18 pm
shikamaru will become a smoker. BAD BOY!!!! Go ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE WHOLE MANGA SERIES. DNT WASTE MONEY AND TREES ON THE BOOKS. YUR MESSING UP THE ENVIROMENT
14 ! I-I@t3 $@$kU3 // Oct 18, 2008 at 7:24 pm
back then neji was alot stronger than most kidz. now neji is a chunin. if neji were to fight saskue there would be a few things that happen. but most probably orochimaru would come 2 save saskue. neji has probably stronger physical attacks then sasuke but sasuke has some stupid crazy things he would do. also… the author wouldnt make hiz favorite character die (which iz sasuke.)!!!!!!!
15 Step // Oct 18, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Neji is a jounin. He said that while fighting his clone near the akatsuki hideout.
16 Naruto_6th Hokage // Oct 18, 2008 at 9:01 pm
@IHateSasuke
Get your facts right Neji is a jounin not a chunin… and Neji has gotten alot stronger as well as Sasuke! Neji can out smart Sauske…Sauske wouldnt be able to copy or follow Neji’s movements…I believe Sauske no longer has the curse mark…and Orochimaru is no longer inside Sasuke..Remember the fight between Itachi and Sasuke…
Sasuke cant copy bloodline abilities…yadayadayadayadayada in the end
NEJI WINS o and INNER SAKURA everyone knows that naruto could’ve beaten Sasuke back then if he would’ve grown the second tail at the least
17 ! I-I@t3 $@$kU3 // Oct 19, 2008 at 1:03 am
@ Naruto 6th hokage
yur write bout the tails thing. and my bad a forgot about the jounin chunin thing. But sasuke iz pretty smart and alot faster than neji. and if yur talking about the fight remember who won. nejis movements are fast but sasuke has the sharingan soo……. I LIkE Neji more than Sasuke but seriously Sasuke would win. but itz not like im saying that hell beat neji in like a second. neji iz strong but sasuke is stronger. Neji would put up a big fight but in the end sasuke would win. BUT I STILL HATE HIM!!!!!!
18 Naruto_6th Hokage // Oct 19, 2008 at 3:49 am
@IHATESASUKE
Long Range attacks wont work on Neji and close range attacks are suicidal against Neji! yeah sasuke is fast but once in range its over… remember…neji doesnt have to hit u directly to land a direct hit…
19 big kev // Oct 19, 2008 at 1:26 pm
you guys are starting another debate huh
20 Nobodyimportant // Oct 19, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Sasuke`s Amaterasu > Neji = crispy meat
21 Naruto-6th Hokage // Oct 19, 2008 at 9:41 pm
@ Kev
Somebody started the old Neji vs Sasuke battle debate… we had this months ago
22 VatoDaniel // Oct 20, 2008 at 1:12 am
sasuke would beat neji.
why? cause that’s how the story line would go.
23 Pein // Oct 20, 2008 at 4:37 am
Lol the old debate
One thing i need to say is that sasuke is not faster than neji, he just has the ability to use short range teleportation (we went through this a while ago) this is the reason why he can’t hit anyone while moving at this speed. Neji on the other hand is lighting quick and can move and hit his target from any direction. Need I remind people sasuke is starting to go blind… He still has yet to impress me in a battle the 8 tailed jin just finished whipping his ass.
24 Pein // Oct 20, 2008 at 4:42 am
@Madara
Pein doesn’t even have to move out of the range of kakashi’s attacks nor has he even broken a sweat… The second Pein just came for kicks, if someone doesn’t help kakashi he’ll be a dead duck.
25 Pein // Oct 20, 2008 at 4:45 am
oh yeah the 8 tailed jin whipped sasuke’s ass while he had helped from his goons. If someone, anyone, in this forum does not believe he got his ass whipped please look at the page where sasuke got his chest blown open.
26 ! I-I@t3 $@$uK3 // Oct 20, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Remember the fight with Deidara and Sasuke. Sasuke can c wut an enemy can do and hes like shikamaru becuz he starts evaluating the enemy the minute he starts fighting him/her. Neji wouldnt lose that easyly but u hav to remember that Neji doesnt know about sasukes new techniques and how hes changed. Sasuke knows a little about Neji and he can put those calculations in order to fight him. In the end Sasuke would win becuz thats how the story would go on but i dnt think neji would die. i no about the 8 tails soo some1 can beat sasuke but sasuke iz just way 2 powerful to die by some1 like Neji. Sasuke can also fly and use his sharingan . but he iz going blind but he would still win. BUT I STILL HATE HIM!!!!!
27 ! I-I@t3 $@$uK3 // Oct 20, 2008 at 2:23 pm
It Doesnt seem like Kakashi would become Hokage even tough Tsunade suggested with her talk with jiraya. Kakashi doesnt seem like the Hokage type. AND hes a little 2 weak to become Hokage. But i guess since he was trained by the fourth it would make a little sense. I dnt kmnow why ppl wana c kakashi without hiz mask. it makes him more interesting with it. in one chapter they almost show hiz whole face while hes reading hiz book.
28 Naruto-6th Hokage // Oct 20, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Sasuke did get whipped…. He is not as strong as some of you think! He is strong. Neji can beat him… Naruto can beat him…
29 Might guy // Oct 20, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Well said Pein…
30 Madara Uchiha // Oct 20, 2008 at 8:15 pm
@ Pein..
Yeah I know. Kakashi is in big trouble right now, but so is the entire Leaf. And as far as Sasuke goes… he got destroyed the whole fight against Killer Bee. I do remember him getting hit with a 12-gauge shotgun… well it looked like it atleast.
@ 6th.
Yeah I know we went down this road before, but we still have ignorance amongst the newbs and things who don’t know better.
31 Naruto_6th Hokage // Oct 21, 2008 at 6:07 am
@Pein/Madara
Isnt there the yin chakra that Jiraiya left behind for Naruto or something! Whats up with that!? Do you think he’s going to get it or what?
32 Madara Uchiha // Oct 21, 2008 at 7:38 pm
@ 6th.
Yeah, the Fourth left behind that other half of the Fox’s chakra sealed away, so that when the time is right, he would receive that and then be able to complete an as-of-yet unspecified jutsu. We all know he’ll end up getting it anyway. It’s only a matter of time.
33 VatoDaniel // Oct 21, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Oh YEAH! Sasuke would win. Neji lost to Naruto in the chunnin exam, and Sasuke didn’t lose to Naruto when they fought.
34 Naruto_6th Hokage // Oct 22, 2008 at 2:43 pm
YOU NEWBS ARE SO SLOWWW!!! YOU GUYS JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THE WORLD OF NARUTO!!! WHAT COULD SASUKE POSSIBLY DO TO BEAT NEJI! USE HIS SHORT RANGE TELEPORTATION! THATS SUICIDAL LIKE I SAID BEFORE! CLOSE RANGE AGAINST NEJI IS STUPID! MY GOSH! NEJI CAN SEE 360 DEGREES. SASUKE SEES ONLY WHATS IN FRONT OF HIM! WITHOUT CHAKRA FLOWING WHAT CAN SASUKE DO! IM THROUGH WITH THIS YA’LL ARE SO LAME
35 NInetailed_demon // Oct 22, 2008 at 7:43 pm
@ the whole sasuke getting defeated he wasn’f fully healed while fighting killer bee, so he may have taken him out being at full powen. but to the Neji vs Sasuke Neji would win no doubt…..
36 Rock Lee Fan // Oct 22, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I think Gaara could beat Neji…
37 Naruto_6th Hokage // Oct 22, 2008 at 9:03 pm
@Rock Lee
Gaara sand is a chakra base substance….and what have we learned with Neji and chakra based attacks….
38 ! I-I@t3 $@$Uk3 // Oct 22, 2008 at 11:11 pm
@ Rock Lee Fan
I dnt think gaara can beat any1 anymore becuz he doesnt have his one tailed demon and hes really weak still. Hes pretty useless now.
@ VatoDaniel
The chunin exams happened long ago and alot has changed. Nejis alot stronger and so is sasuke and naruto. The naruto sasuke fight was just lucky for sasuke becuz if naruto wouldve gotten at least one more tail out, he wouldve beat sasukes @$$.
@ Naruto 6th Hokage
Umm you should see the fights that sasuke has fought. he beat Deidara and Itachi. Sure he got messed up in the Killer Bee fight but Sasuke has many new techniques. Neji does too but Neji can`t beat Sasuke. It just wouldnt happen like that in the story and Sasuke would Beat Neji. Sasuke wouldnt beat him in like a few seconds but he can see his oppenents attacks. also Sasuke can use genjitsu and fool with Nejis head. In the end Neji would lose (maybe not die but…) becuz thats how the story would go and becuz Sasuke is stronger than Neji
39 Nobodyimportant // Oct 23, 2008 at 11:54 am
Sasuke needs just to take a glimpse at Neji and Amaterasu would destroy him exactly how it happened to Killer Bee(for the ppl who think Sasuke got owned by him).And one more thing.. he has been using Itachi`s techniques till now, let`s just see the technique from his Mangekyo
and no.. he doesn`t have short range teleportation or space/time technique.. he just moved very fast when he aproached Naruto when they met after TS, so fast they didn`t even see him.
40 big kev // Oct 23, 2008 at 12:56 pm
ok who started the debate again. i`ve been read the comments and i suggest that all the newbs go back to the early shippuden ep in this forum and read the facts or read the manga or read something before you talk
41 Madara Uchiha // Oct 23, 2008 at 3:01 pm
@ Forum…
I cannot believe that this Sasuke vs Neji has really started up all over again. This thing was buried about six months ago. It was all approved and processed back then that Neji would have beaten Sasuke. So then the newbs come back and say… “Well, Sasuke doesn’t just have ‘Short-Range Teleportation’ anymore, he stole Storm’s abilities from X-Men because he can control thunder clouds. Not only that, but Sasuke once had the Cursed Seal on top of that.” Then it was stated that Itachi, implanted his Doujutsu into his brother, which in fact makes Sasuke that much stronger. Then Sasuke, awakening his own Mangekyou… made the news believe that he was probably the strongest character in the series huh? Guess what.
It’s not happening. Even with this Mangekyou Sharingan… with his borrowed, stolen, charity-given powers… He is still not as strong as you think. He is still clearly not as strong as Itachi was in his prime, or even while Itachi was near death. I heard someone say that he beat Naruto at the Valley of the End… Ok granted he stood the victor… but only because Naruto couldn’t bring himself to kill his best friend. You really think that the Cursed Seal’s powers exceed that of the Kyuubi’s? If so, you’re really on drugs. As far as Neji goes, if Sasuke (Genin with all types of Kishimoto given abilities) even now… (who is gradually appearing to be going blind) actually got into a confrontation with Neji (Jounin/Genius) it wouldn’t be pretty for Sasuke, no matter how much teleporting he does, he’d still lose. Next thing I’m gonna hear now is… Sasuke at this point is stronger than Naruto is using the Kyuubi and Sage’s chakra. If so… that means Sasuke’s more powerful than Pein. It would mean he’s probably stronger or on par with Madara… It would mean he’s the God of the series…. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way folks. Time to snap back into reality.
Just because this guy is Kishi’s favorite, doesn’t mean you little fangirls can write off every other chracter in the series and automatically assume that Sasuke is the “End-all-be-all” in the Naruto world… Bigger battles await him… more worse than Killer Bee blowing holes in his chest and stomach. He’s gonna get to fight more powerful opponents. And as you have noticed, his team who i call Team Life Support isn’t strong to continually save his monkey ass…. MADARA is done.
42 Pein // Oct 23, 2008 at 4:26 pm
@nobody
The amateratsu didn’t work on killer bee… I think that may have been the only time it failed…. Guess who’s the failure. Itachi must be rolling over in his grave lol
43 Pein // Oct 23, 2008 at 4:28 pm
oh and it is short range teleportation he doesn’t move like the flash even though the flash can teleport himself and please look up teleportation before you discuss this with me.
44 Madara Uchiha // Oct 23, 2008 at 4:54 pm
@ Pein..
You do realize that spitting out the facts to these people mean absolutely nothing because when a fan girl’s mind is made up, there’s is nothing that anybody can do to change it, not even the truth. But LMAO at Sasuke failing at the Amaterasu though. Itachi would’ve been better off implanting the Amaterasu into Naruto… although, knowing Kishi, he probably gave Naruto “Susanoo” which would make no sense. But the author seems to do things like that at times. Oh yeah, Kakashi is seemingly realizing how to counter Pein. Not even Jiraiya find it out this quickly. Kakashi is reading for his counter-attack in 423. I don’t think he’ll use “Kamui” though, but I may be wrong.
45 Might guy // Oct 23, 2008 at 6:05 pm
@Madara/Pein
Thanks for talkin sense into these saskue lovers.Lol.
46 Kakashi // Oct 23, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Itachi gave naruto some of his power back then. You think now we will finally see what that power is? Lmao @ naruto with sharingan.
47 Billybob // Oct 24, 2008 at 1:22 am
At everyone who is in the debate for neji vs sasuke
I’ve read most of the manga… Sasuke would win he can use his perfect sharingan to bring out amaterasu and just take neji out…
Neji would be able to win if sasuke wasn’t able to bring out his perfect sharingan
48 Shiksa // Oct 24, 2008 at 1:55 am
Wish I knew a good website to read the manga. I haven’t been in to it that long though, so I’m not very knowledgeable in the subject of this. All I can say is that unless they do end up in a fight it’s a pointless argument, and if they do fight then we won’t need to argue anymore as the answer will be made undeniably clear.
Don’t worry about it fellas.
(P.S. Feel free to acknowledge my subtle hint of needing a good website to read the manga, fellas >_> )
