Hmm, it appears that Neji seems to be the winner here.
Everything in regards to hype was based on their young age and potential to grow. Even so, you didn't see this scan which shuts this Haku argument because this was stated towards the end of the fight from someone who knows him in and out(This was stated towards the end of Zabuza and Kakashi's fight)

Then I addressed the weapon Haku uses which makes senseYou must be registered for see linksconsidering Haku was a specialist at that as he made it clear hereYou must be registered for see links. What even makes my point easy to agree with is Zabuza's words(who, like I said knows Haku well) upon seeing the techniques Haku was using:

There's even more comparison between Sasuke and Haku

You'll have at least some point if it was just Haku saying this but Zabuza too? Who knows him well? Multiple scans make this thing clear and I can't see how it's possible to deny that Sasuke could match him to an extent without a doubt. Then we have the fact that even with the water clones possessing the Taijutsu skill of the user as stated, Sasuke blitzed multiple of Zabuza's water clones before he unlocked the Sharingan. But that doesn't matter, let's get to the speed department which you speak of:
- Kakashi point. You didn't factor in the fact that the Sharingan's effect being greatly weakened by the Hidden Mist which slows it's reaction speed and reflexes and both times, Kakashi battled him in the Mist when Haku intercepted and Haku is a professional went it comes to silent killing which involves fighting by sound alone. Even if you're going to suggest it doesn't matter, this does:

That's Jounin level Kakashi who had the speed to blitz high level Jounins from other villages but Rin who's not even close can intercept him too. Most importantly, he had the speed to defeat Might Gai and develop his Chidori but this right here is inconsistency at its best when you look at the Rin point and the fact that 2T Sasuke was reading Haku's movements. There's plenty of inconsistencies when it comes to this Jutsu which can also be seen with Sakura being able to mentally react and speak during Kakashi moving:

It's surprising that you'll suggest Haku's speed regressing was also a reason for him being overwhelmed, but then you'll use Haku intercepting Kakashi, who you also consider faster than them as a point even though this occurred after the periods of him battling Naruto and Sasuke? That's a bit biased. Speaking of that:

Haku wasn't the only one running out of Stamina..Sasuke was too. Past his limit and then even worse when you consider he pushes it more upon using the Sharingan when a more experienced part 1 Kakashi felt the effects:

Then there's the fact that Sasuke was only getting used to the environment in his Base and then started seeing Haku a little, that was without his 3T:
You must be registered for see images
The scans confirms it all..Sasuke could see him to an extent and Haku admitted it was dangerous to attack him--went ahead to use Naruto as bait and the more Sasuke battled him, the more he'll observe him more it which makes sense since the more you fight one, the more you get used to their speed as Sasuke was getting used to the environment and Haku's speed which in return, scared Haku in his Base and the Juubito/Naruto/Sasuke situation is a good exampleYou must be registered for see links"Starting to sense him better and better" and sensing is much similar to precognition. The fact that Haku saw a serious threat in attacking him says it. There's no way that can be ignored:

That's just it...Sasuke being able to read his movements at the early stage of his Sharingan..It makes no sense to think Haku is stronger than Kakashi but then considered to be an equal and a rival to 2T Sasuke even by Zabuza who has knowledge on his pupil but the other side of this is the fact that Neji just needs to release chakra from his body to counter his Needles like he can do to Kunais as Ten Ten noted and then he can easily follow Haku's speed and further react to him. If Haku thinks it's dangerous to attack 2T Sasuke like he was doing before he unlocked that Sharingan, there little to no reason for me to believe Neji, a much more superior opponent would have any issue with this. Neji wins this fight because of his defense and reaction speed and Haku's lack of ability to hold on his crystal mirror further in the battle. Matter of fact Haku brought out Crystal Mirror because Sasuke trumped him speed wise in Base. If you think it's a good speed feat for Haku to intercept Kakashi at top speed but then downplay Naruto/Sasuke tagging Haku because of his stamina issue even though the Kakashi situation happened after that, then that's obviously a one sided conclusion.
its funny because your Ava is so accurate. Like Akashi, you've crushed your opponents potential and any argument they might be able to muster up subsequent to your post. You absolutely dominated. It was so thorough and well worded. Bravo! That was the kind of post that seems like it might be too long to read, but then when you start reading it you just can't stop!Hmm, it appears that Neji seems to be the winner here.
Depends on what version of Haku you're referring to.
War Arc Haku negs SRA Neji to oblivion, but if we're specifically referring to P1 Haku, I thought it was rather obvious that Neji would win here. P1 Haku was never portrayed to be on a Jonin's level, dejectedly admitting inferiority to KN0 Naruto whilst resorting to cheap tactics such as targeting an unconscious Naruto to create an opening against Wave Arc Haku all gave the impression that Haku was never as strong as Zabuza boasted about.
The Databook scores themselves reflects this, giving Haku abysmal scores in comparison to other Jonin.
I'm honestly conflicted with Forbidden's assessment mostly because Genma suggested a platoon of Jonin would be a wise decision in combating the Sound Four with the Hunter Ninja that Orochimaru employed to target Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru were all stated to be above the Chuunin Level. I thought it was quite obvious that the Sound Four were all Jonin Level, albeit, not Adept Jonin.
Damn Haizaki been eating mfs up lately he completely shat on Forbidden tech overrated ass. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Databook I said:Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals (魔鏡氷晶, Makyou Hyoushou)
Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
User: Haku
The abominable and tremendous ability, passed down only within Haku's clan... The "Kekkei Genkai: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals" is a technique wrapped up in many mysteries. Only one thing is clear: it is said that no method in existence can defeat this technique. In an instant, multiple mirrors of ice are created around the enemy, reflecting nothing but Haku. For Haku, it's possible to move between the mirrors at the speed of light. It's impossible to see attacks send out from this literal light speed movement. For the opponent, nothing is left but to wait in amazement.
↓Every single ice mirror shows Haku's reflection!? Under these circumstances, one could say it's impossible to see all of Haku's attacks.
[picture of Sasuke being surrounded by mirrors reflecting Haku]
[picture of Naruto's Shadow Clones being defeated by Haku]
←Naruto tries to attack the real body, but the moment after he starts his attack, Haku has already moved to another mirror.
That's just it...Sasuke being able to read his movements at the early stage of his Sharingan..It makes no sense to think Haku is stronger than Kakashi but then considered to be an equal and a rival to 2T Sasuke even by Zabuza who has knowledge on his pupil but the other side of this is the fact that Neji just needs to release chakra from his body to counter his Needles like he can do to Kunais as Ten Ten noted and then he can easily follow Haku's speed and further react to him.

One thing I've not talked about in this thread. War Arc Gai and Lee.
Why would War Arc Haku win, but then Pt1 Haku lose? Edo Haku is War Arc Haku and regains abilities he had in his previous state. The argument you guys are probably going to use is the Gai and Lee but you guys need to stop referencing "War Arc Gai", especially when that's a collaboration attack. Gai and Lee are landing their attack at the same time while moving at the same pace. Lee was most likely wearing weights like he always does but even so, you can see how a collaboration works when you look at Kid Bee matching Ay in speed to land hits. Same thing with Adult B in his V1 cloak. It doesn't make sense because it's a collaboration technique. Let me go further and note to you that Kisame, was running towards Asuma and Kakashi to take them out but then got intercepted by Gai, who he failed to react toYou must be registered for see links--->You must be registered for see linksThat's the single form(Leaf Hurricane) of Gai and Lee's collaboration technique and this is the same exact scenario with Haku as he too, was speeding towards and opponents and got intercepted. Hold up, does that make sense? How can it be that Kisame failed react to a part 1 Gai despite being able to react to V1/V2 Killer B? Meanwhile Haku can react in the same exact scenario to War Arc Gai? Leaf Hurricane itself has never been a special attack known for its speed. It has even led to another downgrading Lee's speed based on this attack "You're not that fast after all" (You can flip to the previous scans and you'll see it's Leaf Hurrcane)You must be registered for see links"He may be fast BUT his kick(Leaf Hurricane).."You must be registered for see linksand Sasuke who couldn't read Lee's movements as he said, reacted to this techniqueYou must be registered for see linkseven though in that scan, he had no time to block Lee's other attacks and further got destroyed.
Then there's the fact that Base Ay himself could physically blitz Zetsu with zero reactionsYou must be registered for see linksmeanwhile, V1 Ay collaborating with V1 B wasn't fast enough compared to that as Zetsu could physically clap his hand in the top after they had moved (Zetsu switched with Kisame if you recall)You must be registered for see linksHaku's feat was nice and all that but we've seen enough that suggest he'll lose against Neji, who also tracked 5G Lee with his Byakugan alone while Sasuke perceived Haku's movements with his 2T making Haku eschewed the thought of attacking him. Some of you say "Stomp"? How? Not possible.
Quit being obnoxious.
Birds chirping from the sideline doesn't bother me bruh lol, no biggie.
Stay humble. |
Now you're going to attempt to discredit Rock Lee? By DB3, Rock Lee was already classified a taijutsu master, and he only get's stronger by the War-Arc so he could eventually catch up and surpass Gai like it was stated.

Lee back in the CE was not a master taijutus user. You can tell by observing his body posture with the technique in CE and that of the War-Arc is is completely different, despite being essentially the same attack as you noted. Why? Because Lee is much more polished and skilled in taijutsu now. Not to mention, obviously way faster, and stronger. Then we have the fact that you're comparing CE Rock Lee using Leaf Whirlwind on stationary targets, with War Arc Rock Lee using it on a target moving high speeds straight into it. The stationary target will have a much more easier time countering, then the person assisting the technique by traveling straight into it. Haku, one again, displayed physical reaction far above that of a genin.

You don't have a point here. Zetsu absorbing Kisame's chakra and becoming his clone obviously heightened his capabilities. Haku at the peak of his abilities has displayed feats well above the capability of a Genin or Chuunin rank, being relevant in a fight composed of Jonin and even Kage tier shinobi. If SRA Neji still needed 2-3 years of training and growth during the time skip to finally reach Jonin rank, his part 1 skill set is not cutting it against an opponent fighting well above that level.
