One of the best Naruto episodes by far. It was so kool to see Neji and Tenten who were being so cocky be so suprised by naruto's power. I really enjoyed how Naruto chose to beat Neji against Neji's greatest skill, which is hand to hand combat. As for the next match... I'm not really sure about this... but I think that Shikamaru being tossed into the ring in the preview may indicate that he's up against Temari next. I have no idea how or why this would happen, just my opinion.

maybe some brown chakra or something along that line
no offense man but calling someone a retard isnt cool riftwing, if the sure the sharingan is powerful, but theres something always better, so dont assume anything. naruto's red chakra wasnt earned, it was given to him, in 2 occasions. one time was because he was about to die, and kyubi will die with him. and episode 62, his exact quotes from 62: "Damn Fox! Lend me your power!

your right about not being fair and to be strong, but by entering the chuunin exam, you dont pick your opponents. so if naruto got neji, o well right? nothing you can do about it.
i don't know if anyone brought this up or not, but did anyone other than me think that the animation could have been just a bit better in this fight? other than that, i thought this was a good ep
im thinking that NOW naruto is able to call upon the kyuubi chakra but before, the fox didnt respect him, so it was only protecting itself when it gave it to naruto when fighting haku. later, when naruto actually called upon it himself, the fox respected naruto more, so he can call on it when he needs it now? maybe

you could be right
lol i was nearly shaking watching this episode http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em...s/mf_w00t1.gif it was completely sweet. its so awesome how naruto speaks to people time to time. even thought naruto hated neji, he still managed to say that he'll fix the hyuuga clan when he becomes hokage. sweet. man everyone is gonna see how powerful naruto is now, well not really. he still got his huge gamabunta frog summon. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif
Yeah it was a good episode....however I'm looking forward to the next Naruto fight from the manga.....it will be sweet...
*if that's a spoiler, shoot me.
im wondering, what will happen after the chuunin exams? or what will happen during the exam to be more precise.
I'm not saying anything. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I'm not gonna get my ass banned.

I have a question too

Answering that question would involve a great deal of spoilers... Therefore, it shall remain unanswered =P...
Naruto isn't even a Chuunin yet (he's still being tested to become one), and it has taken over 60 episodes for that to happen. He's a long way off from becoming the Hokage to help Jiraiya do jack or chit =P... Also factor that Jiraiya is in his 60's... He'll prolly be older than the 3rd by the time Naruto becomes the Hokage =P.
Chuunin's in general are team leaders. They take squads of genins with them on missions and plan the missions to yield the greatest results. So whoever becomes a Chuunin will have that responsibility. Also, Iruka and Mizuki were Chuunin's as well, so whoever passes the Chuunin exam may very well become an instructor, one of the examiners, etc.
Age shouldn't matter when you take the exam, just because Lee has 2 years on Naruto doesn't mean anything. Naruto chose to take the exam on his own, thereby voiding that right to bitch about people being older / more prepared.
You guys keep forgetting rock Lee, and Naruto are also “Genius’s”
Kakashi quote. ….. it was something like this sorry if its not perfect.
"5 gates? No amount of hard work and training alone could do that. Is this boy a genius after all.
Perhaps being able to open 1 gate is just rare. 2 gates very rare. 3 and beyond only genius elites like Lee, Gai, and perhaps Kakashi can do.
Rock lee is just a hard working genius. I don't like him any more or less for this. Lee seems to be the strongest fighter, but not much of a thinker. If Rock lee had Shikamaru's brain or even Narutos, he probably would have somehow figured out Gaaras gourd was also sand destroyed it, and beaten him.
Narutos genius would of course be the strongest as it’s the kyubi, but until resently all he got from it was instant healing and a slight increase in chakra stamina. Now he’s learning how to use it and is becoming invincible.
Lee is not the strongest genin, I have a explanation but I'll tell you 5 eps later...

Yep, but one thing i think there is to Naruto, is that he has a low confidence because he has always been a dropout. I think that he could do much better on his own with more confidence.
As for Gaara; i really liked the scared look on his face watching Naruto http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/unsure.gif
Neji's my favorite character, so I hope he gets promoted to a Chuunin. His skills are amazing, he just happened to face-up against the number one ninja for surprise! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif
I'm heavily anticipating the Sasuke vs. Gaara fight. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif
Neji's just lucky he didn't get to see Naruto go all Kyubi-faced on him! xD
Naruto looked like an evil little bastard when he squared off against Haku after he thought Sasuke died.
Neji and Naruto both have alot in common, I guess. Being that Naruto basically has a cursed seal himself; Kyubi.
A lot of sad and powerful stuff go on in this series; which is why it's my favorite series. Hehe..
The episode where Zabuza finally dies was pretty powerful. =/
I thought the Episode was great, and what you say about Naruto and Lee I think it's unfair because Lee is in advantage, he's for two years ninja, Naruto only for one, if Naruto could have learned more technics, he would have mastered them all, because I think he has a talent in technics. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif And if he had one more year he would have kicked the ass of all the Chuunins ^^

When Naruto's charge collided with Neji's Kaitten, they were both moving at extraordinary speeds. An example cited from another anime.. Kenshin vs. Shishio, the final blow.. When they hit, they shoved all the air between them out, creating a void which sucked them closer together.. then it all rushed back in and repelled. Same thing happened when Neji and Naruto hit: All that Chakra between them got thrown out around them, causing the huge dust cloud, then when that "void" got filled between them they got thrown apart and into the dust cloud.
Hopefully that didn't sound too muddled or anything, best way I can think of to explain it http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif
~Chris </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
It was the first spin of the Amakakaru Ryu No Hirameki that created a vacuum when it went past Shishio, it wasn't a result of both of their attacks. And it sucked Shishio in, not both if I remember correctly and it didn't throw them both out again, because Kenshin had swung aroung again and hit him with the second pass of the Amakakaru Ryu No Hirameki... that's why Shishio was sent flying.
That is why the vacuum was move specific to Kenshin's attack, not a result of any two big attacks.
I still dont think those two shadows were Naruto and Neji.
Me and my friend, Tony, always sat around after each episode and used our current knowledge to predict the future. We predicted that he would win the fight against neji because
1) He did the whole promise-because-of-hinata-blood thing.
2) He needs to go up against gaara and stop him from ruining everybody at night time when the full moon hits.
So we were sitting down trying to think of whether sasuke will step up to the plate. And if he did would he win or not. Now please don't call any of these spoilers only because they are based off of previous assumptions and I really would hate it if they erased only a certain portion, called it a spoiler, and ruin it for me because then I'd know which assumption is correct. Please don't erase it.
It would make more sense if sasuke didn't show for the following reasons:
1) He really doesn't give a damn. He wants to kill Itachi and labels don't matter anymore.
2) He might be too busy training with Orichamaru and might have actually ditched kikashi sometime after gaara spied on them.
3) He doesn't want to go up against gaara because after what kakashi told him about how gaara fights, sasuke doesn't particularly want to risk dying for a title he doesn't care about. Again, his goal is Itachi.
4) If gaara and Sasuke were to fight, then gaara would lose and probably have used up most of his power in the process of losing, and wouldn't be able to storm the town later on that night.
5) I firmly believe that in order to stop gaara's freak form we haven't seen yet, Naruto will summon Gamabunta to beat him. But that will be later on that night. So gaara has to be at his best. In order to be at his best all the fights must pass him and let all the others fight to take up time until he faces off against Naruto (i.e. Sasuke will lose, or won't show up).
So in conclusion, gaara will not face sasuke and will face off against naruto. Whether naruto shuts him down completely so that gaara cannot face off against the town or whether the naruto-gaara fight is held at night time (full moon time) and gaara decides to screw the exam and take on the town then, I don't know. Damn this is a cool show because anything that does end up happening will be awesome and perfectly acceptable. Earlier we even thought that naruto might lose because it's based on performance. He might have just been really crazy and still lost but still made it as a chuunin. See? The writer wanted us to think that naruto can lose because we all know he's going to be a chuunin, so he won't have to win it all. Bah. I'm done. Tell me what you think.

Don't think his aga is a spoiler but Jiray is 50.
hmmm... didn't the next title read something like: moving ahead of schedule? And didn't we see Naruto throw Shikamaru into the ring? Oh.. no wait, Shino is after Sasuke right? Ah... GO SHINO!!!
Ah well, not gonna spoil anything. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em...ughbounce2.gif

i LoVED 62 I think it was one of the best episodes! =D
almost started crying when naruto released kyubi's power and he got nine tails, oh god what a happy moment! the same goes for when he landed the final punch on nejis chin. naruto owns everybody(exept jiraiya)
What i thought was funny about the preview on the next ep was how Naruto waas running around like a gay throwing kisses to everyone http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Well, one thing we all know for sure is that the next ep will be great. And every ep after that as well http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Almost every tune in Naruto is a great, great classic. Man don't they ever have a bad day http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em...s/rolleyes.gif
Loved seeing Naruto use his power on Neji. It was funny him talking to the fox to give him some power, but it was one of the greatest fights I've seen
The next ep is just gonna be a bunch of talking and maybe a little intro to the next fight. More action...Now!!!!!! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em.../mf_jumpon.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em.../mf_jumpon.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/em.../mf_jumpon.gif

maybe this has already been answered....but since i dont wanna read 3 pages w/ 40 posts each, im really didn't bother to check.
anyway those shadows that were going into the dust were naruto and neji.....its was just a side shot of them bieng thrown back due to the impact of thier respective chakras......granted the angel was kinda funny and it looks like someone actually jumped in, but i assure u its just a side shot.
(again, sorry if someone already reached that conclusion)
yeah look like someone jumped in to me too
i really enjoyed this episode but nothing still compares to the zabuza hake fight and gaara rock lee

62 was great.. Just watched a few days ago..
This was one of the best fights shown..
Sharing #1 with the Rock Lee/Gaara fight..
That sounds like one hell of a spoiler, and if so. Then your ass so so close to being kicked that you don't even know the word of it. I don't know if you are just guessing since i don't read the manga, but do be careful what you say. And do point out if it is a spoiler or not.
Edited: I took away my spoiler quote now.
Get a mod to delete that post and edit your quote.
I believe he/she was just saying that he/she couldn't wait for the invasion to happen...since Orichimaru says he's going to invade...and that he/she believed that it would all be action.
episode 62 was great! best fight scene since gaara vs rock lee. more to go! cant wait till the sound/sand invasion of konoha!
that will be all action from there on http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
How come after Naruto was on the ground straining to get back up, the "referee" (what do you call him?) didn't call the match over, but when Naruto uppercutted Neji *ONCE*, the match was called over? Quite unrealistic.
well the real explanation is, if he did that, then the ep would suck, and naruto wouldn't win
the "good" explanation is, cuz the examiner could sense the true power insdie naruto, and as an experienced ninja, he knows that appearences can be deceiving.....when naruto uppercuts neji, neji is down for the count.....the examiner can tell that nejis has no more power left, and even if he did, naruto still has more (since he was able to make a clone AND dig a tunnel after all that), so theres no point in continuing.

simple, the referee hates naruto and he wanted to se him get his ass worked over a little longer, but he didn't count on the nine tails side of naruto owning neiji
Na, Jiraiya threatned the ref with his frog if he didn't let Naruto win.
yeah it was good, but i thought that it could have been better... only my opinion http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif
i felt that was the same way with gekko hayate as an examiner. It seemed like he knew just when the right time to end the match was....
i still say that the bird is a spying device. after all it was intently watching the match even through the intense chakra, flying stones, flying stars, flying bodies, flying dust... and then it flies off after naruto beats neji? kinda suspicious isn't it?
i guess maybe it DID symbolise something to Neji after he was K.O.ed by Naru-kun but its probably a henge kage bunshin no jutsu from either jiraiya or kakashi
