00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the moments and fights

00:08from the Naruto franchise that were so hyped the internet couldn't believe it.

00:28After the possibility was foreshadowed long ago, Might Gai at last unleashes all eight

00:33gates during the battle against Madara.

00:36The overpowered and exceptionally arrogant villain even praises Gai as the strongest.

00:41While that alone got Naruto fans talking, it was the ultimate technique of Konoha's

00:46noble green beast that blew everyone away.

00:59Gai rushes Madara, while exuding auras so powerful it looks like a dragon.

01:04He moves so fast he bends space.

01:07Gai's god-level dynamic entry shatters half of Madara's body and his own leg.

01:13It's a moment of pure unadulterated hype, and shows just how far hard work can get a

01:19ninja.

01:25Naruto's parents are absent from both his life and most of the series, as they both

01:39died when he was an infant.

01:40However, through flashbacks and some afterlife chats with their son, Minato and Kushina still

01:46have a big impact on their son and his story.

01:50In their last battle, in which they tried to seal the nine-tailed fox, both are fatally

01:55wounded.

01:56The internet's collective hearts broke watching their time as parents be cut so tragically

02:00short.

02:01Kushina's brief words of motherly advice for her infant son left none of our eyes dry.

02:08With ninjas hitting us all over our tear ducts with water jutsu.

02:26Anime movies are usually a toss-up in terms of quality and whether or not they matter

02:31to the story.

02:32But, in the last, Naruto the Movie, fans were treated to some sweet canon goodness.

02:38And this long-awaited moment.

02:40Naruto saves Hinata from a ninja on the moon.

02:43Yeah, just because it's canon doesn't mean it's not weird.

02:53Regardless, while returning home, the two have a heart-to-heart, and Naruto tells Hinata

03:00he wants to spend his life with her.

03:03Following a glimpse at both their future and past together, the duo fly together into a

03:08moonlit, snowy sky and kiss.

03:11They might not have heard the sound of millions of shippers cheering in triumph, but we certainly

03:16did.

03:217.

03:26Kurama's Death

03:44Kurama may have killed Naruto's parents, but the nine-tailed fox sealed inside him

03:49has also been Naruto's staunchest ally.

03:52After undergoing a new and guaranteed deadly power-up, more on that later, Naruto and Kurama

03:57talk in his mindscape.

03:59The fox reveals that Naruto isn't the one doomed to die, Kurama is.

04:04Despite all the pain Kurama has caused him, the two have been partners for so long that

04:09it's an emotional moment for Naruto and for the audience.

04:19The montage of all their moments together hit hard, and it had Naruto fans the world

04:24over reminiscing about Kurama and fighting off those Watajutsu again.

04:376.

04:40Naruto vs Sasuke Round 1

04:50Apparently Naruto aired during a time when breaking the internet wasn't really a thing

04:55yet, but you'd better believe that the anime sites everywhere were talking about this one.

05:00In this fated clash of two rival young ninja, Naruto attempts to dissuade Sasuke from leaving

05:06the village in an incredible water-top fight.

05:13So many exchanges from this fight are forever burned into the minds of Naruto fans.

05:18The fantastic animation and choreography throughout inspired not only what felt like

05:23half of all Naruto AMVs, but also plenty of heated discussion on forums and early social

05:30media.

05:375.

05:40Rock Lee vs Gaara It says a lot about the quality of Naruto

05:52that it was breaking the internet in only its second story arc.

05:56While Rock Lee had already impressed with his superhuman speed and chivalry, his match

06:01against Gaara made him an instant fan favourite.

06:04It also solidified Gaara as a terrifying antagonist.

06:08Their bout has so many memorable moments, from Lee dropping the weights and going even

06:13faster to his Eight Gates transformation, to the heartbreaking conclusion.

06:29The internet in the early 2000s was ablaze with love for this fight, and the fervor around

06:35it has barely died down decades later.

06:414.

06:43Naruto Arrives to Stop Pain Konoha is not prepared for the devastation

06:53wrought by the Akatsuki's leader, Pain.

06:56When one of Pain's paths unleashes an almighty push, it levels most of the village.

07:02And just when things are at their darkest, who should be literally summoned back just

07:07in time?

07:08Naruto, of course.

07:15Naruto's dramatic arrival, wearing a spiffy new outfit that went more than a little peeved

07:23he didn't keep, atop successively bigger toads, is absolutely epic.

07:29His quick illustration of his new strength, which sees him wreck one of Pain's paths

07:34in a single hit, isn't too shabby either.

07:37The whole sequence took the internet by storm, and got everyone, particularly power scalers

07:42talking.

08:01Few things get the internet quite as hyped as new transformations in anime, and Naruto's

08:07are no exception.

08:09His final transformation with the Ninetales sees Naruto's chakra turn red and his appearance

08:14turn even more fox-like.

08:16Besides the form's cool look, its abilities in battle against Naruto's foe, Ishiki,

08:22were also much discussed.

08:33Baryon mode drains power not only from Naruto, or rather Kurama, but also from Ishiki.

08:40But only as long as they're touching.

08:42This leads to some great hand-to-hand combat.

08:45The transformation and ensuing fights were so big online, you'd have to have ears the

08:50size of Baryons not to have heard about them.

08:54Baryons are, uh, smaller than atoms, just FYI.

09:032.

09:04Naruto vs Sasuke, Round 2

09:20If Round 1 blew up the internet, then Round 2 absolutely obliterated it.

09:26These rivals return to the site of their first duel, now sporting titanic, god-like abilities.

09:32Their battle reshapes the landscape, and features some truly epic attacks, and transformations

09:38from both Naruto and Sasuke.

09:40Ultimately, after all the bombast, it's still a deeply personal fight.

09:45There are callbacks to the pair's friendship and previous fights, and it all comes down

09:50to the two of them beating each other bloody, and using one last attack that leaves them

09:54both down in arm.

09:56This fight is the climax of the original Naruto story, and the culmination of its two leads'

10:02developments, so it's little wonder that every fan was obsessed.

10:36Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto vs Momoshiki

10:50The Boruto series may not get the same love as its predecessors, but this fight still

10:55destroyed the internet.

10:57Watching Naruto and Sasuke team up to fight Momoshiki is a blast from the past.

11:02They even brought back the theme music from the original series.

11:06The fight has fantastic hand-to-hand combat, callbacks to early Naruto fights, and some

11:12monumental combo attacks with both of their strongest forms.

11:16Boruto may land the finishing blow, but it's his dad and his rivals' epic team-up, and

11:21the phenomenally animated fight sequence that had the internet going absolutely wild.

11:32Is there a Naruto moment that hit the internet like a Rasengan that we forgot?
