EXT. ARENA – DAY, PRESENT
Neji finishes his flashback, explaining the other details of what happened to his family.
NEJI
This curse mark signifies an absolute threat of death imposed by the main branch upon the cadet branch. The secret techniques of the main branch can easily destroy the minds of those of the cadet branch, so of course, killing us is a simple task. And this curse mark only fades after death, after the secret of the Byakugan has been sealed away! The Hyuga Clan possesses one of the most distinguished Kekkei Genkai. Countless numbers of people would do anything to gain the secret of such unique abilities

HIZASHI
Huh? Oh, no, it’s nothing.
HIYASHI
Well then, I’ll be taking charge of Neji, Hizashi.
HIZASHI
Yes sir.
Cut to Neji wearing a bandage on his head, sitting next to his father, watching Hinata sparring with her father.

SCENE 1
EXT. ARENA – DAY
The arena has cleared, leaving only Naruto and Neji. The arena is mostly dirt and grass and a few shrubs and small trees growing around the walls. The trees are no taller than the story tall walls. The referee stands on the edge, out of the way giving the competitors room to fight. The audience seems to be filled with everybody else in the village, the Hokage and the Kazekage have a special seat in view of the arena. In the front row or near it are familiar faces of the ninjas Naruto knows.
NARUTO
If I get too close to him, he’ll press my chakra points and I won’t be able to use any jutsu,

NARUTO
Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! I’m late! Oh crap!
Naruto runs through the streets of the Ninja Village Hidden in the Leaves while comical music plays in the background. At times, he does parkour through busy areas not letting anyone getting in his way. Comically, he grabs some food along the way, from various vendors, including a rice cake, skewered meat, and of course Ichir

Neji is lying on a hospital bed recovering from his fight with Naruto. His uncle enters the room and approaches him.
MASTER HYUGA
Neji, I’m proud of you, you fought well today. I heard what you told Naruto about our family, I think it’s time you knew the truth. This is from your father, he wanted me to give it to you when you were old enough to understand.
Master Hyuga hands Neji a scroll that has been sealed. Neji breaks the scroll, unrolls it, and reads it. The words are written in Kanji, but spoken in voiceover by Neji’s father.

NARUTO
Hey Neji! Glad you’re feeling better. Hinata and I were just talking about getting some dinner to eat.
NEJI
Sounds great. Can I come along?
Hinata and Naruto look at each other hesitantly.
NEJI
My treat.
NARUTO
In that case, sure! The more the merrier! Right Hinata?
Hinata looks like she’s a little upset Naruto didn’t get the idea, but nods anyway. The three ninjas walk away while the Naruto theme music plays softly. The

INT. DUNGEON – NIGHT
Naruto is suddenly in a dungeon with no idea how he got there. It is very dark, he can hardly see at all, except for an orange light glowing behind him. He turns and walks toward it. The source of the glow is a large spectral fox with nine tails, though only three may be visible; the beast is behind bars. Naruto looks at the beast and realizes what is going on.
NARUTO
You’re Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. This is where you are bound inside me.
KURAMA
Yes, child, for over thirteen long years I have been bound within you as I was bound within your mother. At last we meet. Will you be as enterta

NARUTO
I don’t believe it. I really bit off more than I can chew this time. What was I thinking challenging Neji head on like that? I can’t beat him!
EBISU
Well it’s too late to think about that know. If it makes you feel any better, you would have had to fight him in the next round of the exam anyway, or else someone strong enough to knock him out of the running. Eit
