  • Neji is alive
  • Kabuto hasn't merged with Orochimaru and the Sound 4's cells. Nor does he have impure world resurrection or Senin mode
  • They have manga knowledge
  • The starting distance is 6 meters
  • The location is the Sanin showdown

I'd still give this to kabuto with his dead rising jutsu and his reflexes seem to be just as good as nejis.

As soon as you took away his Sage Mode as well, it was automatically Neji's win.The only thing Kabuto can do is go up close and we've seen him manage to stay toe to toe with a rusty Tsunade with a fear for blood.Honestly Neji wins this easily since Kabuto will have to go CQ against him.​

Kabuto can use Dead Soul Technique to help with close combat. Chakra scapel will also prove deadly as he could damage Neji's muscles and render him unable to make certain movements. While Kabuto has Yin Healing Wound Destruction to help heal the fatal attacks.

I would say Kabuto takes this High Difficulty.

Neji's Taijutsu is better than Lee's so taking on opponents who're sub par to his taijutsu level is nothing.
Chakra scapel will also prove deadly as he could damage Neji's muscles and render him unable to make certain movements.
And Kabuto's really gonna land a hit against a Byakugan user who literally has a 360 degree chakra bubble to detect danger, Lee and Neji had many battles and he never landed a single blow against him even though his taijutsu is far surprior to Kabuto who needs a pill to enhance his chakra before hand.
While Kabuto has Yin Healing Wound Destruction to help heal the fatal attacks.
Gentle fist doesn't harm the victim physically U_U it harms them Kabuto hasn't shown the ability to re open his chakra points nor heal off injures from his organs.8 trigram 64 palms 1 shots him.

Naruto's own Taijutsu at that time left something to be desired. Although Kabuto mentions that he isnt the best at hand to hand combat, he still kept up with Tsunade without the soldier pill and showed that he has the neccesary skill to go against Neji in CQC.

Byakugan doesnt give the user peircing vision that the Sharingan, it doesn't give the user a better sight per-se in that regard. When has Lee ever said that he never landed a blow?

I never said that he can open the chakra points, dont put words in my mouth. Organs are tissue just like skin, being an organ doesnt make it less applicable to Wound Healing Destruction. Thats just outright speculation on your part. He can use it in the same way he did against Naruto and begin gather chakra in certain areas to prepare the healing beforehand.

I believe Kabuto wins this. He was portrayed stronger then Neji. Even part1 Kabuto was compared to elite shinobies, like Kakashi.

The only thing Tsunade has going for her is the impact of her attacks, her overall punching and CQ speed is not on Neji's level.Even part 1 Neji showed amazing Taijutsu in his

Byakugan doesnt give the user peircing vision that the Sharingan, it doesn't give the user a better sight per-se in that regard. When has Lee ever said that he never landed a blow?

shows that Lee didn't even land a hit on him and obviously Lee challenged him again and again yet he still lost(every fight his taijutsu improved i may add).The Byakugan actually does, look at Sasuke vs Naruto in his Then look at Neji vs Naurto in his same state. On the page before, it showed that Neji unlike sasuke saw the attack coming, it took 3 tomoe Sasuke to even avoid and counter his moves.

gentle fist disrupts Neji literally puts his chakra into kabuto which will obviously mess up Kabuto's chakra to the point where he can't even form chakra properly.And you thinking Kabuto can keep up with Neji's speed is also a 'speculation'. You said it yourself that Kabuto isn't good at CQ so why deny it? And rasengan still messed up Kabuto cause he collapsed right after proving how futile his back up plan was.

Tsuande is still experienced and a primarily hand to hand fighter. Her skills are not to be underestimated. Yet she was still helpless against Kabuto in Taijutsu.

Thats not enough to base your asumption on. Moot Point.

Naruto was in a higher state of the Kyuubi mode when he fought Sasuke. He had protruding canines, Slits in his eyes, and sharpenend nails. none of which were present in his fight against Neji.

Naruto's own base speed also increased from the exams to when he fought Sasuke. Your theory of Byakugan giving the user a piercing perception when in a Sharingan type fashion is false. The best you could pull from those panels is that Neji was faster than Sasuke, but as ive already explained thats untrue.

Wrong. Im actually stating the opposite. Kabuto deemed himself inadequet at Taijutsu, but he's shown to be quite good at it.

He mearly fell on the ground becuase of how much damage Rasengan did, which is more than Gentle Fist will do.

Your severly overrating Neji's speed here. his movement speed isnt all that great and he hasnt shown otherwise.

Kabuto took advantage of a Sannin that hasn't been in combat for how many years? And she had that phobia of blood going on which Kabuto resorted to take advantage off.

Just like your whole argument of Kabtuo beating Neji in CQ.:|

That's because Naruto tapped into the power himself, the reason why has those features when enraged is mainly due to the Kyuubi leaking out his chakra for him which is basically fueled on how emotional Naruto is.

And Neji's overall speed,insight and gentle fist techniques also improved from that fight in the chunin arc.All Kabuto did after the Tsunade is fight is make drugs for Orochimaru.The best you can come up with is Kabuto somehow landing a hit on Neji, you can't change the fact that Kabuto has no choice but to approach Neji in Neji's own comfort zone.

Kabuto loses due to his lack of speed and insight ability that Neji had since Part 1.

Dan died when he was 27. In part1 Tsunade was 51 years old. So she hasn't been in combat for more then 20 years.

He didnt take advantage of the blood phobia till later after the battle.

Tsunade hasn't shown better Taijutsu skills, so yet again. Speculation.

Wrong. Your just making a wild statement that hasnt been implied or asserted in the manga.


That's because Naruto tapped into the power himself, the reason why has those features when enraged is mainly due to the Kyuubi leaking out his chakra for him which is basically fueled on how emotional Naruto is.

Wrong. Comparing the two fights, Naruto was far faster and stronger. That emotion brings out a higher state of the Kyuubi mode.

And Neji's overall speed,insight and gentle fist techniques also improved from that fight in the chunin arc.All Kabuto did after the Tsunade is fight is make drugs for Orochimaru.The best you can come up with is Kabuto somehow landing a hit on Neji, you can't change the fact that Kabuto has no choice but to approach Neji in Neji's own comfort zone.

Your atributing natural progression to Neji? then the same applies for Kabuto.

Kabuto has already shown the skills to be able to go hand to hand with Taijutsu users. He also has his deadly attacks with Charka scalpel.

So basically he did take advantage of the phobia regardless of when he did it.

What do you think he was doing after the Chunin exams? You said that Naruto's Base speed increased from that time yet the only thing he did during that time period was learn 1 new jutsu U_U.

Name me the taijutsu users Kabuto fought against who exceed Neji's taijutsu ability.

If it was after the fight then it doesnt matter.

Naruto trains. Kishi rarely shows people training yet they get stronger. We can assume thats what he did.

Name me the taijutsu users Kabuto fought against who exceed Neji's taijutsu ability.

Tell me one person who Neji has fought that has a greater Taijutsu skill than Kabuto.

Yes it does actually since Kabuto would've won if Jiraiya and his crew didn't come in.Beating a rusty Sanin with a phobia isn't a good feat tbh.

Well i guess this part of our conversation of Naruto improving ends here, you and i have no proof of Naruto improving his base speed during that time period.

Thanks for actually attempting to list the names <.<

  • Lee, he fought against lee like i said many many times.
  • Gai, every sensei have sparring matches against their students (woudln't call this a death match though).
  • Hiashi, another sparring opponent.

Its like Tim Jamison said. This is basically a part 1 Kabuto whose battle method involves CQC which means Neji wins.

This might be True, But kabuto admited himself Taijutsu isn't his strong Point, Yet you think he stands a chance against a Hyuga genius who can use gentle fist on a high level?.
Plus a rusty past her prime tsunade kept up with him quite well.

Kabuto doesn't really have many ranged attacks, If he engages in close combat with chakra scalpel like he did with tsunade, He will get wrecked easily by neji.

It's true, he is slower then Neji, but this isn't the only factor that determines the outcome of the battle. Kabuto is a medical ninja, this means he is skilled in evasion so Neji will have a hard time hitting him.

Kabuto needs to land only ONE well timed hit to cut Neji's respiratory muscles. Neji won't survive that.

The Main reason he will lose is due to him being slower, As stated in part 1, You need a high speed combo to break Neji's defense or some ridiculously overpowered jutsu, Kabuto lacks both.
As i said he barely kept up with a rusty tsunade, How he will even land a blow on a Taijutsu expert with almost 360 vision and the ability to sense incoming attacks before they even reach him, i don't know.

There are far more chances of Neji hitting kabuto, then kabuto hitting Neji. Neji is simply a bad match up for kabuto.

i think your forgetting to restrict a few things. first, he still posseses suigetsu and karin cells. that means whatever gentle fist damage is done, it heals up instantly. and if neji tries to punch him to death after realising touching him wont work, kabuto turns to liquid and nullifies his attempts. all else fails he summons manda II and crushes neji under its belly.

As soon as you took away his Sage Mode as well, it was automatically Neji's win.The only thing Kabuto can do is go up close and we've seen him manage to stay toe to toe with a rusty Tsunade with a fear for blood
he doesnt HAVE to get close. he can let manda II fight, or keep dodging and healing till neji runs out of chakra.

keeping up with a hokage and being touted as kakashi's equal = slow?

As i said he barely kept up with a rusty tsunade, How he will even land a blow on a Taijutsu expert
tsunade was a taijutsu expert and not THAT weakened. as i said hes equal to part 1 kakashi whos also an expert in speed and close combat
There are far more chances of Neji hitting kabuto, then kabuto hitting Neji
so waht if he does? karin cells/mitonic regen nullify it
Kabuto doesn't really have many ranged attacks, If he engages in close combat with chakra scalpel like he did with tsunade, He will get wrecked easily by neji.
how when hes stronger faster MUCH more experienced and much smarter?

.Beating a rusty Sanin isn't a good feat tbh.
HAHAHAAHAHA
Name me the taijutsu users Kabuto fought against who exceed Neji's taijutsu ability.
when did neji compete with someone on part 1 kakashis level?

And Neji's overall speed,insight and gentle fist techniques also improved from that fight in the chunin arc.All Kabuto did after the Tsunade is fight is make drugs for Orochimaru
databook shows kabuto as having improved. so he did train

Kabuto loses due to his lack of speed
absurd. equal to kakashi, plus he dodged tsunades blows. neji is never dodging anything like that. not when even shizune was speedblitzed by tsunade

gentle fist disrupts chakra flow Neji literally puts his chakra into kabuto which will obviously mess up Kabuto's chakra to the point where he can't even form chakra properly
8 trigrams 64 palm shuts off chakra flow by targeting the chakra points. ineffective because all of nejis blows will be sliding off of kabutos liquid mode, not hitting his points. gentle fist at its basic level damages organs.ineffective because of regen

nor heal off injures from his organs.
um tsunades mitonic regen healed organs. why cant kabuto's instant regen? i mean kabuto boasted about how all physical attacks cant damage him vs uchiha bros. should include organs

Gentle fist doesn't harm the victim physically it harms them internally
your organs arent physical?
