heres a question

[K' Dash]

if there was a free for all between Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Rock Lee, Gaara, Shikamaru, and... idk uuhhhh Kakashi, who would win?

[Denisa]

I guess Naruto. With such powerful opponents, Naruto would go 9-tails and that would be it for everyone, including Naruto. So maybe I change my vote to Shikamaru. Don't laugh. He would have been smart enough to hide from the others at the start of the free for all. After they all killed each other, he would wake up from sleeping behind a tree. So he wins. Brains > Brawn.

[likenewbie]

are we talking about those characters from where the manga is at right now? or the tv series?

and the fight would depend entirely on how pissed off everyone makes naruto...if he is emotional he'll win, if not then kakashi since his experience wins.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Kakashi - he has more experience than any of the others, and he is the highest-ranked ninja among them, both of which automatically give him the upper hand. And, aside from Shikamaru, he is probably the shadiest character in that group, as well as the smartest: he will probably be able to figure out ways around the others' defenses (though Gaara will present him with a challenge).

(However, if Naruto loses himself to the kyuubi, then he'll win. Actually, to be more precise, that'll be the end for all of them, but because Naruto will be the one attacking everyone else, he'll probably be the last one to die.)

[K' Dash]

i think gaara would win, seeing how he can use the sand to attack everyone at once, or sheild himself from everyone until only one opponent is left (shikamaru) and kill him.

[gameoffreak8]

I guess Kakashi would win because he has extra experience than others has.

you saw gaara vs rock lee right
i would want neji to win but kakashi would win its stupid having him in there

[SonRyu]

you saw gaara vs rock lee right
i would want neji to win but kakashi would win its stupid having him in thereYes well, that was the younger and less experienced Gaara. He does get much stronger, and has more techniques, later on. I believe that if they were to fight again later on, Gaara would have an easier time fighting Rock Lee.

In a free for all, I would say Kakashi though. Experience alone would determine that. Shikamaru would be a tricky guy to beat, but in the end, I think Kakashi would beat him too.

[blackknight]

I'm torn with this one. Kakashi has the advantage with his Sharingan and experience, but is relatively low on chakra. Having to battle six different opponents, four of whom are defined as genius type, would quickly wear him down.

Neji would see Shikimaru hiding behind the tree and kill him in his sleep.

Naruto has the most power but the least skill. If he went Kyuubi he might win, but it depends on him unleashing only enough not to get himself killed.

Sasuke is a angsty bitch and I hope he dies, but he two Sharingans to Kakashi's one. I think Neji could top him, though.

Lee is out of his league in this one. He's decent, but I think by this time in the manga that everyone has exceeded him.

Gaara, as good as he is, has gotten his @ss beat several times against "lesser" opponents. I'm still annoyed as to what happened to him after the time skip.

We haven't really gotten to see Neji in action after the time skip, so it's difficult to judge his advancement in close to three years. I think my vote still goes to him, though.

[Soluzar]

Are we talking about these characters as they currently are in the manga, or curently in the anime?

[crow-kun]

This may be a wild guess but I'm thinking the people listed in the poll.

[SonRyu]

This may be a wild guess but I'm thinking the people listed in the poll.Soluzar isn't asking WHO is being discussed, that's obvious. He wants to know at what point in the timeline are we discussing them... as for that, K-Dash should really specify, but since he hasn't, I think that's up for grabs.

Even though Kakashi has stated that he doesn't have the massive amount of chakra to use that Naruto does, he doesn't say it's really low. I would still think that his chakra levels are higher than the rest of the characters mentioned, and he's better at manipulating and using it than the rest. My opinion of course.

[crow-kun]

I'd say he made it pretty clear in his first post.

[max_powers]

well, if we're talking self-sacrifical super powers, Rock Lee can go 8th gate (which he HAS to have by NOW) and pwn even Naruto. THAT'S RIGHT. You forgot about that, didn't you?! But if we're talking about an actual fight, then its Kakashi hands down. I mean, Sasuke's chidori broke through Gaara's sand, imagine what Kakashi's can do. And he probably has enough speed to hit 2-3 ppl with one chidori. If not him, then Neji, cuz he can friggin' launch raw chakra into the air!

[SonRyu]

I'd say he made it pretty clear in his first post.Are you even reading any of the posts? o_O

[Soluzar]

I can't believe for a second that Naruto would hesitate unlease the powers of the Kyuubi if it were a real life-or-death fight. If to be defeated is to die, then you might as well go all out, right?

The combination of Sharingan and Chidori makes both Sasuke and Kakashi obvious front-runners in this contest. Chidori has been shown to be effective against most defenses.

I can't imagine Hyuuga Neji will go down easily, but Naruto and he have clashed in the past, and we all know how that one ended. Naruto has the crucial ability to nullify Neji's biggest advantage.

Despite my own wishes, I can't imagine Rock Lee being the winner. I'd like to imagine that he could, but the only way he could do it is to open all eight gates, as Max has stated. I don't consider it a victory if you're not around to enjoy it, and I'm not even sure that he'd last long enough to take out ALL of the other combatants.

I also don't see Gaara as a winner, here. Chidori is a threat to his defenses, and things have changed for him, if we're taking current events as our guide. I don't think we can assume his sand defense is as strong as it was, nor does he have the power to assume another form.

As for Shikamaru, that's a joke, right? He works best with a team around him. He'd be a greasy spot somewhere about five seconds after this fight started. I'm voting for Kakashi, simply because he's intimately familiar with the two who pose a threat to him, and he has an attack which is the equal of either of their finishing moves. I think we can safely say that due to experience, his Chidori would be stronger than Sasuke's.

The truth is that it could go either way. Any one of those three could win, and there's no way to predict it.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Even though Kakashi has stated that he doesn't have the massive amount of chakra to use that Naruto does, he doesn't say it's really low. I would still think that his chakra levels are higher than the rest of the characters mentioned, and he's better at manipulating and using it than the rest. My opinion of course.Of course Kakashi doesn't have the massive amount of chakra that Naruto does. Almost no one has the massive amount of chakra that Naruto does. He is a jinchuuriki who is host to what is probably the most powerful of the bijuu. There are probably only a handful of characters in the entire series who have as much or more chakra than Naruto does, and none of them are on that list.

[crow-kun]

Are you even reading any of the posts? o_OAre you? You said the OP didn't make it clear what the topic was about but it's right there.

[Denisa]

As for Shikamaru, that's a joke, right? He works best with a team around him. He'd be a greasy spot somewhere about five seconds after this fight started.
But who would be gunning for him? He'd just get out of the way and let all these guys with the Dragon Ball Z powerups beat on each other. Ninjas are suppose to hide and avoid direct combat. It's sort of like if Batman were in a free for all with the Justice League. He'd be smart enough to get out of the way and let them kill each other and try to pick off the winner quickly.

I am suprised no one picked Sasuke. But it seems all the others would gang up on him. Then they would turn on Neji. Then Gaara. Then Lee. Then you would be left with Kakashi vs. Naruto.

If you wanted to replace Shika or Lee with Itachi, it wouldn't matter either. They would ALL gang up on him.

[Powatanner]

i know
Bernard Monsha! LOL!
but seriously Naruto
after all he's the main character
and he's bound to be the best

[blackknight]

Are you? You said the OP didn't make it clear what the topic was about but it's right there.
There is absolutely nothing stating whether he is asking about current anime or current manga. That is what we were asking.

That being said, I just went ahead and used manga.

[Nano]

putting Kakashi in there is dumb. It's like saying who would win in a free for all?
nine tails
Rock Lee
Ten Ten
Hinata
The nine tails would win straight off, just like Kakashi would win.
He would send them all to another dimension!

naruto beat Neji. Sasuke beat naruto, and could defeat Gaara. and if not naruto beat him.
Gaara defeated Lee.
and although lee defeated Sasuke he couldn't do it now.
Kakashi and Shikamaru would pwn Sasuke together because he ran away.
then they would fight and Kakashi would win.

but doesn't naruto have a new justu that he was told NOT to use?

[Uchiha-Itachi]

naruto does have that justu. any way thro itachi in there and it would be a lil more even. because kakashi would have competition. one comp that he most likely would lose. then sasuke would go after itachi, but itachi would stand there and let everyone gang up on him, but then they'd all gang up on itachi scince he's strongest. then they all kill each other. except for shika who comes in after hiding in a tree and stabs the last nin standing in the throat.

winner: Shikamaru

[LadyAkuma]

Kakashi because he can copy their jutsus pretty fast and use them against them. He's more experienced and what not.

Shikamaru wouldn't even get involved. It's too troublesome for him. Plus I figure he would realize that his opponents are way way stronger than he is. His power is best used when he has a partner that can use their strength and power with his justu.

Naruto wouldn't win unless something pissed him off like was said before. He's too stupid too.

[Uchiha-Itachi]

agreed. naruto is stupid. he'll be a good ninja... but 4 now he's an idiot

[Nano]

Ha, but one day this thread might change with Naruto having all the votes as we go of the current manga.

[Hellsartist]

lol agreed, but going off the manga I'd think Naruto would win, depending on whether or not he goes nine-tails (this may not play a role at all but remember hes trying his best to avoid using the nine-tails power and going off of his own power) saying that Naruto still has amazing stamina and probably would put up a good fight, though an idiot he does come up with very good strategies, escpecially against enemies who underestimate him. Of course I don't think anyone would underestimate him this late in the manga.

Shikimaru would put up a good fight, I believe hes improved his shadow jutsu as he used it to attack Sai's Ink tiger's and that paired with his inteligence would make him a dangerous adversary. with Neji it all depends on how much power hes gained in the time skip but I'm assuming its a lot and Rock Lee would still put up a major fight, even more so with the 8 gates if he chose to use them. Gaara has a ton of new techniques but didn't he lose the Bijuu that was in him? I mean he was brought back to life but that still doesn't give him the bijuu back so his power would be greatly diminished, so he'd be dead quick I'd think, depending on his individual skill. Sasuke may very will beat them all but that is largely left to chance as he really only caught Naruto and his group of gaurd in Orichimaru's base so we don't know where he stands now but I'm assuming hes quite the adversary.

but overall I give it to Kakashi, hes one of the top ranking jounin, has the Sharingan and a new jutsu to boot, probably the second largest chakra level after Naruto, the brains and tactical thinking of Shikamaru, the experience and he doesn't lose his cool. HUZZAH KAKASHI

[ardilla]

Well if youre asking based on the anime, i would have to say definetly kakashi, im willing to bet kakashi has a way to defeat sauske curse seal 2 full sharingan. At that point all the others there are children before Kakashi. Even if they are geniuses, so was kakashi

Manga Readers,*spoilers* for those who dont read manga so youve been warned..
Hmm well post time skip, gaara doesnt have a biju anymore, he is significantly weaker, i would say hes now the weakest one in the list after he lost the shukaku. Rock lee wiht all gates opened isnt a gauranteed win either with all the rediculous powers there such as kyubi, (although im guessing much more than 4 tails and the damge to narutos body may kill him), and suakes with bloodline and curse seal. Neji is now a jounin but he could not defeat kakashi any more than he could defeat the current leader of his team who is at about an even match for kakashi. To me post time skip rock lee, neji, skikamaru(would never win, his kage mane is defeatable with brut strength as seen many times, he couldnt beat anyone on that list), and Gaara(maybe shikamaru can beat gaara now) shouldnt even be on the list. the only thing keeping kakashi on the list is the fact hes activated Mangekyou Sharingan and has about 15 years of experienc on both naruto and sauske.
