"Ultimate Defence: Zero Blind Spot!" (死角ゼロ!もうひとつの絶対防御, Shikaku Zero! Mō Hitotsu no Zettai Bōgyo) is episode 61 of the original Naruto anime.

Synopsis[]

Iruka worries about Naruto since he is fighting Neji Hyūga. Outside of the battle arena, Kabuto kills an Anbu in order to impersonate him as a disguise. Naruto's clones fail to hit Neji, who aims for what he believes is the real thing, but is unsuccessful. Naruto explains how he held one of his clones back from attacking, in order to draw Neji’s attention to that one.

He tackles Neji again, only to fail when he utilises the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven. Hiashi and Hinata are shocked to see it, since it is a move taught only to the main branch of the Hyūga clan. Tenten explains that Neji can see almost 360 degrees with his Byakugan, and emits chakra from any point in his body, rotating to repel his opponent. He then takes the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms stance, surprising Hiashi since this is an elite move exclusive only to the strongest of the Hyūga main branch, and proceeds to strike all of Naruto's sixty-four chakra points. Genma then walks up to the two to determine whether the match is over or not. Kiba asks Hinata if she ‘s okay, observing her coughing up blood. Neji is surprised that Naruto is still conscious following the attack.

Naruto feels dizzy but remembers when Lee and Hinata had critical injuries due to their matches, and still managed to continue giving it their all. He manages to get back on his feet, shocking Neji. He then asks about the Hyūga clan and Neji's hatred for it. Neji takes off his forehead protector and reveals the Hyūga Main Family's Juinjutsu. He explains the circumstances surrounding his father's death, and the Hyūga clan's branch family. He proclaims that Naruto's fate in their match was already decided when chosen as his opponent.
