omg how stupid are u people, bunshin no jutsu, naruto doesnt even really do that damned technique, why in the hell would he use it that one time, esp. seeing as a normal person can even see through illusionary techniques, IE. Sakura

naruto always does kage bunshin, its a better bunshin, in fact, its probably as good as it can get, u cant see thru the clones cuz they all have identical chakra patterns and obviously look the same, Jing brings up a good point, if it were bunshin the jounin referee could see thru it easily and know not to stop the match, but then again it coulda been coincidence, he coulda been giving naruto a chance to get up, and furthermore, what do we know about the referee, nothing at all, he may be able to tell when stuff is goin on, maybe he knew naruto was underground, or maybe not, who knows, all i know is that naruto wouldnt be using bunshin no jutsu, that one time outta the trillions of times he uses a bunshin technique, he uses kage bunshin no jutsu 99.9999999999% of the time and henge along with it once in a while, but almost never does he use bunshin, theres really no reason to, kage bunshin is the same but stronger and teh clones can do damage, so again to think that naruto would use it this one time when he knows his opponent has the power to see thru the clones, owuld be so stupid and thus makes no sense, the reason that he brings up the bunshin no jutsu is to show that with hard work he mastered bunshin and kagebunshin evne tho he was a "dropout" or "loser" and failed at using bunshin 3 years in a row

also, something i noticed, if regular clones dont have physical boundaries, they're just illusions, then things will travel thru them, naruto's clone is layin in a ditch with smoke rising around him if it had been a regular bunshin clone, the smoke would probably appear to rise thru him and a smart person like neji would pick that up, a kage bunshin clone is as good as the original which means it was a kagebunshin, also, the examiner says at the end, he left a kagebunshin in the hole and dug his way to victory, so theres 2 characters telling u its kagebunshin, and that also dispels jings theory that the examiner knew not to stop the fight, he probably waited cuz neji was talkin shit

and it should be obvious to u now that he used kagebunshin when neji says ur favorite technique or main technique, if anyoen here can say that bunshin is naruto's fav. or main technique, they're stupid and sadly mistaken, kagebunshin it is, and kagebunshin is what he used

hence...we're right, ur wrong, live with it, and ricardo...ur still the baka
