Well, if that did happen, he'd be the first male major character to never get a 1 on 1 important battle at some point. The only major characters that never had important battles were Ino, Tenten and Hinata, who never had a "shounen showdown" outside of the Chuunin exam prelims.


God I miss the Chuunin exams. "Hey, we're gonna do 10 1v1 battles against people who you mostly never seen go "all out" before."

Those were great days.

Goddamn Naruto needs to take another chuunin exam and all the other genins need to be unknown character.(Actually, what would be hilarious is if Naruto ended up in the same Chuunin exam as Konohamaru.)
