~Naruto Shinobi Showdowns~

[TheDemonSlayer]

As fans of the ever popular anime title known to all as Naruto, we have seen many crazy and very interesting fights. Some evenly matched, some seemingly hopeless, and some out right insane. But even with all of this, everyone will always find the one or few that they found the most satisfying. So without any further words, what are your most prized fights in Naruto's many Shinobi showdowns? (Who did the fight involve? What episode was it? Any particular Jutsu's you favored?)

Always Naruto vs. Sasuke

thats always a great fight.

or in the early episodes, Sasuke vs. Gaara, that was awsome too.

Yeah I just got done watching the fight between them tonight, and it was crazy! I loved how you got to see both Sasuke and Naruto in their maxed out forms. And the best part is, their only going to get stronger.

[u_nick]

From the preliminary fights in the chuunin exams:
- Lee vs Gaara
- Naruto vs Kiba


From the regular fights in the chuunin exams:
- Naruto vs Neji

From the hunt for Sasuke:
- Choji's, Neji's, Kiba's fights
- and of course, naruto vs Sasuke

There's probably one or two more I'm forgetting too, but those always pop into my mind first

[Rydis]

I liked the Neji vs Naruto fight during the 3rd Chunin Test.
I also liked Rock lee vs Gaara during the preliminaries.

[TheDemonSlayer]

Yeah Rock Lee vs. Gaara was definitely a battle of epic shinobi proportion.:lol:

[Naster]

my favorite fight of all time was Lee vs Kimimaro. down right hilarious.

other honorable mentions:
lee vs gaara
gaara vs kimimaro
naruto vs sasuke (most of the accounts)
saratobi vs orochimaru

[djcubez]

I always like any shikamarou fights.

[appletini]

my fav would have to be oro vs sasuke during the chunnin exam, its what got me hooked on naruto

[Suki]

Sasuke with Chidori Nagashi vs. Naruto. Quick fight though.

[djwhack03]

I'm personally a fan of the sasori vs chiyo/sakura fight.

sasori pulls off some crazy $%#& during that fight, and sakura proves that sheisn't completely useless.

[TheDemonSlayer]

Yeah not completely, but still pretty useless...*All the Sakura lovers jump me and burn me alive in a dark ally...*:lol:

[Hellsartist]

I liked the Kimimaro vs. Lee fight as well as the Gaara vs. Lee fight

the Sasori vs. Chiyo/Sakura fight and the 4-tailed Naruto vs. Orichimaru

my favorite though would have to be the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight and i'm looking forward to the next fight they have.

[cutiepieanna15]

Yeah Rock Lee vs. Gaara was definitely a battle of epic shinobi proportion.:lol:
for one thing, lee and gara just rock my world to begin w/ so ofcourse the rock lee and gara fight is what got me really hooked onto naruto. They're both my FAVE! i think they are one of the few actual characters that give some spice to the series, unlike some characters that they show over and over.

who can say no to rock lee's great style too! :lol:
he's a keeper fo sho!

[TheDemonSlayer]

Yeah I agree with you on that one, both characters are very interesting, and are only a plus toward the series as a whole.

[neoXellos]

I always like any shikamarou fights.

yes most definately...that was one of the best fights in the serise by far.

[TheDemonSlayer]

Yeah I've been downloading all of the best fights in the series...

[soulreaper]

In the anime... Naruto vs Sasuke, because it's done by Matsumoto Norio.

In the manga, I'm going to have to go with the Sasuke vs Orochimaru fight in the Forest of Death, since it was the first real appearance of Orochimaru.

Yeah, I know Norio also animated that part in the anime, but I liked the Naruto/Sasuke fight more than the Sasuke/Orochimaru fight in the anime and the other way around in the manga.

[TheDemonSlayer]

That's very intersting to hear really, alot of people don't realize certain facts as this. Although I liked most of these fights any way..

[LadyAkuma]

Rock Lee vs Gaara
Neji vs Naruto
Saratobi vs Orochimaru
Garaa vs Naruto
Choji vs that one sound ninja
Jiraiya(sp?), Orochimaru, and Tsunade fight

Erm....those are the most memorable to me. I liked the Zabuza and Kakashi one too, but it was a bit long and dragged forever. I didn't like the Sasuke/Naruto fights. :( Those marked the end of the period I liked Sasuke. Anything with Sakura is insta-boring btw.

[Alice Catherine]

Sasori vs. Chiyo/Sakura (in which Sakura gets her *** whipped and Chiyo suicides to being the useless bitch back)
Deidara vs. Gaara (because Gaara is awesome)

[appletini]

all the manga fights in part two so far have been awesome

[Laharu]

Neji v. Naruto was great, because naruto *finally* does something right.
Lee v. Gaara is classic.
Shikamaru v. Tayuya was really cool, 'cause I like Shikamaru

[Alice Catherine]

Actually, anything with Shikamaru kicks arse.

[CyberNinja5]

Naruto vs Sasuke
Lee vs Gaara
All the sound 4 fights.
And the Shika fights.

[Alice Catherine]

Kabuto vs. Kakashi.
So Kabuto IS useful? :P

[gameoffreak8]

Naruto vs Sasuke
Lee vs Gaara
Kakashi vs Zabuza
saratobi vs oro

[TheDemonSlayer]

I've seen all but the last fight on your list...

[LordGdawg]

NO.3 Sarutobi vs. Orochimaru

NO.2 Rock Lee vs.Gaara

NO.1 Naruto vs. Sasuke on the lake.Say what you want about the flash backs and drawn out fillers; when Naruto delivers; it delivers in wagon loads.

[EmberAlchemist0]

Some fights that I liked are all in the prelims of the chunin exams since I haven't seen the latest fights of the chunin exam yet.
-Rock Lee vs. Gaara
-Sakura vs. Ino
-Neji vs. Hinata

[Kagura]

I liked the fight between Neji vs. Hinata. I like the battle where Gaara fights and takes that scroll of those other guys in the forest. He uses his Sand Tomb attack! I like the battles between Sasuke, Naruto vs, That guy who uses the Mirror technique he always was with Zabuza? I also like the battle between Zabuza and Kakashi.

[EmberAlchemist0]

^You're thinking of Haku. ^_^

[Kagura]

Oh you are right. Thanks! That bunch of battling was intense!
