The "What if" thread
Hey (first post here), been watching these forums for almost a year now and being an anime lover, I always find good reads in numerous threads on the AnimeSuki forums. Props to maintaining such a productive forum and active community, AnimeSuki Staff. :-)
Anyway, onto this thread. . . The "What if <insert event here> had happened" Naruto Thread A lot of things in Naruto exist as outcomes of certain events or happenings. These events were obviously chosen/written/drawn by the manga author(s), but I have always wondered how things would have turned out if certain events occurred a tad bit differently. And I have been wanting to talk about or discuss such alternative events which 'could have' happened and changed a lot of things in the show. So here's how it goes, a user posts a What if presumption, and then we respond/reply to that with our thoughts. (Note: I am talking about the television series, please do not mention stuff from the manga in here. Cheers.) I'll start with I had wanted to talk about: What if Rock Lee wasn't matched up against Gaara in the Chuunin exam preliminaries and was picked to fight against Hyuuga Neji instead? --- My response to that is that the above would have been awesome! Not having to fight a monster (relative term, comparing him with regular Genins) like Gaara wouldn't have crippled him like so. It was truly sad to hear (at first) how he couldn't live as a Ninja anymore because of the damage he suffered in his match. What would have been even better is that he would have gotten a shot at fighting Neji full-fledged. Who do you think would have won if Rock Lee had fought Neji at that time? Although Neji's absolute defense is impenetrable, Lee has an advantage in speed and if he performed the primary lotus on Neji, I seriously doubt he would have been able to defend himself/turn the tables in any way (I don't know if Neji could have performed his Kaiten/swirl in midair in the few seconds he gets before getting his head smashed with the primary lotus?). What do you guys think? |

IMO lee should have slaughtered Neji with even the secondary lotus. It was faster than garaa's sand + the fact that Neji is not that quick to react (when naruto came from below and K.O.ed him). Every person who faced lee's secondary lotus couldn't see him attack from below. If he used primary lotus Neji would have been killed.
What if Kakashi had tried to kill Orochimaru in the Chuunin exam after he had just put evil surpressor on sasuke? |

If Sakura stopped liking Sasuke, she might get 1) more focused in Ninja training allowing her to get better, and 2) go out with Lee (which is bad because I'd rather have Sakura go out with someone I don't like) |

I think that Rock Lee would have probably won if he went to the 5th gate, but it wouldn't be easy for him. |

What If Gaara and Neji Fought: Gaara Would Destroy Neji hands down. (Spoiler down Below Maybe????) Gaara I think is the strongest Ninja out there. Honestly, he destroys his enemies. And frankly I think Naruto got lucky. |

Are you kidding me, what possibly could neji do. Gaara would exploit Nejis weakness. Gaaras only weakness is his mental state. There is no way Neji is going to be able to even land a blow, let alone alter Gaaras mental state. |
