Episode Summary:

Shrugging off Neji’s argument of destiny, Naruto counters his opponents belief by through self confidence and not giving up on himself. Naruto knew that words alone would not be win over his opponent or win the match, he knew he needed power in the form of chakra. After having a flashback of training with Jiraiya, Naruto manages to tap into the Nine-Tails chakra. Armed with new power, Naruto goes on the offensive and attacks Neji.

After an intense clash of Naruto’s chakra and Neji’s rotation technique, a huge blast fills the arena with dust which Naruto used to hide himself and leave one of his clones as a disguise. Neji is fooled by Naruto’s unresponsive clone and Naruto takes him by surprise with a punch coming from underground. With Neji now unable to move, Naruto uses the moment to prove that one can change his own destiny. The proctor announces Naruto as the winner and the crowd cheers him on.
