History Awesome / Team8

** [[StealthPun "Neji,"]] "screw." [[FridgeBrilliance Beautiful.]]

* Naruto vs. Sasuke during the Chuunin Exam preliminary battles. Naruto just watched Hinata get destroyed by a very spiteful Neji. Sasuke taunts Naruto, hoping he'll fight better than Hinata (this slams down hard on Naruto's BerserkButton). The "fight" lasts as long as it does for [[spoiler: [[IHitYouYouHitTheGround Naruto to bullet-punch Sasuke once, sending him rag-dolling away into an unconscious heap]].]]
** Some people have claimed this is EpicFail rather than awesome- but let us remind them of one fact: [[spoiler:during his fight with Neji in the finals, Naruto took ''him'' out with a single punch- and that's ''in canon!'']]

* Shino versus the [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent snake.]] [[DynamicEntry Owned.]]

'''Kakashi''': No, not at all. I'm providing these to the village as a whole. Just because everyone else in the village learns how to fight against the Byakugan--if they have to--doesn't make it treason ''[[MyCountryRightOrWrong against Konoha]], does it?\\

--->'''Asuma:''' I don't have anything half so elegant; I'll just kick your ass if you take one step towards those kids.\\

'''Shino:''' Your choice of pronoun speaks volumes, [[StealthInsult esteemed elder]].

* Finding out the ''real'' reason Naruto ripped [[spoiler Neji's]] face open at the end of their fight.

'''Suba Aburame:''' We are aware that the vessel itself is exempt from the Hokage's law, if it wishes to allow the truth to be known. But what is the nature of our clan's betrayal?\\

** An unforgettable {{Pre Asskicking One Liner}} just after the above scene:
--->'''Neji:''' That's impossible.
--->'''Naruto:''' Just as impossible as fighting against fate. Just as impossible as fighting a Jyuuken user hand to hand.

-->'''Shino''': I was able to deduce the existence of Naruto's prisoner through sparring and training with him. When Uzumaki-san indirectly broached the topic with me, he merely confirmed my deductions. [[CallBack As I told him at the time, I am neither stupid nor unobservant]]. Moreover, it is highly likely that, without the Kyuubi's chakra to draw on, our battle with the missing-nin would have had a far less optimal outcome.\\

*** [[spoiler:'''Naruto''': "Well, he told me he didn't think I'd have any problems at all… like I'm some monster that would probably enjoy killing,".]]
*** [[spoiler:'''Hinata''': "That's bullshit!"]]

** Hinata's reaction to Naruto being told by a school doctor that he's a monster

*** [[spoiler:'''Hinata''': "That's bullshit!"\]]

** It's even better when you consider the entire thing is a BatmanGambit. [[spoiler: Tsunade]] could have refused to carry on with the terms of the bet or [[spoiler: just fickle him with her finger when Naruto disrupted the genjutsu, which would make enough harm given her super strenght]]. But Naruto realizes that [[spoiler:her age and gambling habits are serious issues for Tsunade]] and [[FlawExploitation precisely uses them to his advantage]].

** He even uses [[spoiler:her]] ExactWords to his advantage. [[spoiler:Naruto vs. Tsunade, with Tsunade boasting she can win by using just one finger against him. Naruto quickly busts out his [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer Shadow Clone]] ZergRush. It's still not enough, exemplified with Tsunade [[CrazyAwesome causing a chakra-fueled fissure to decimate Naruto's clones]]. That's when Naruto busts out the Chakra Pulse, [[OhCrap destroying Tsunade's youthful genjutsu]]. Naruto points and laughs. Tsunade starts strangling him...which is more than just [[ExactWords one finger]].]] Check and mate.

'''Asuma''': A few days ago, the two of us were fighting two of the most dangerous missing-nins in the world. We were out of position or too slow to save a valued comrade from being killed. Now here you are, someone she clearly despised, trying to make an ass of yourself and disrupt her funeral. How can we not?
