– Lee has difficulty trying to penetrate Gaara’s shield of sand. Gai admits to Sakura that Lee isn’t using Taijutsu only through choice, because he is unable to use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.

"Neji and Hinata" – The random decisions place the Hyuga family members against each other. The noble Hyuga family is split into two, with each one from a different side.

Chapter 79: "The Hyuuga Clan"

– Gai explains the elegant fighting style of the Hyuga, the Juuken (Gentle Fist), being based on palm strikes infused with Chakra doing damage to internal organs.

Hinata is severely wounded by Neji, but she refuses to quit.

Chapter 80: "Surpass the Limit"

This only fuels his hate for the main house even more as the no-killing rule is ignored. Naruto is disgusted at Neji.

The participants eagerly await the next match, which turns out to be Naruto VS Kiba.

Chapter 75: "Naruto’s Growth"

– Naruto feels uncomfortable fighting Kiba and Akamaru, especially with Kiba’s taunting. With confidence, Kiba makes the first move with his animalistic fighting style. Naruto takes his trash-talking personally and returns the words. Kiba’s smoke bomb combined with Akamaru’s quick attacks gain him the advantage until Naruto turns it around. While everyone sees Naruto’s improvement, he and Kiba decide to raise the bar.

Chapter 76: "Kiba’s Comeback!! Naruto’s Comeback!?"

– Kiba and Akamaru boost their strength together, then amalgamate each other into feral humans. Naruto falls victim to their specialty, Gatsuuda (Dual Piercing Fang) as they spin and shred everything in their way.
