thats exactly what i'm talking about. the first episode is the gennin exam. he fails it because he cant replicate. but the question is, if he has failed many times, why is he the same age as people like sasuke who passed on the first try.

like i said its a known plot hole, and i believe that it's said that he's been in the same class as sasuke and sakura since the start.

hiten mitsurugi

kiba was in the same graduating class as kiba. i dont remember neji recognizing him though. that was that in the anime?
