he was getting there
Kimimaro, haku, and itachi were the strongest genins...
Gaara without Shikaku would still beat Neji with mid-high difficulty. I agree that Neji would beat 3 tomoe Sasuke with high difficulty and Naruto without Kyubbi with mid difficulty.
Although I think he would lose to Temari depending on the range of the battle.
[I volunteer to be the random troll in this thread.]
Eh... Pre-timeskip Naruto? Yeah, he would win if the battles were fought the same way tey are now: Throwing out meteors, destroying mountains without breaking a sweat, etc...
But way back then, Kishi had a knack of pulling out awesome stuff out of his ass, so I really can't say.
Post-Time skip? Dunno, depends if he gets time to make a rasenshuriken (and as a consequence, destroy his arm)
Sage Naruto...? >.> (no comments)
kishi trolled neji real hard and the byakugan its kinda sad
ugh in part 1, shino was third strongest behind sasuke and naruto...THEN neji. THEN lee...just saying. and it remains the same now
sasuke is sort of tied after he trains to fight gaara and gaara's sand we learn was controlled by his mom so that still counts and naruto pushed gaara far with just thousands of clones and no kyubi xd
You seem to forget that Naruto has a much larger chakra pool than anyone else even without the Kyuubi.
Neji is not a genin hes a damn jonin
Ya definitely if sasuke and naruto weren't so OP then Neji could probably beat them even naruto with his sage mode
