Moody has a magical eye. Therefore, Naruto has at some point fought him. QED.
Ohhhhh.
Not just that. I believe naruto has fought (or was it will fight?) all doujutsu. Word of God.
Yeah, but that one specifically is the best match for the Eye of Vance.
I tried to write a line with Harry misidentifying it as the Eye That Looks Toward The Sun but had to take it out.
Sorry, you lost me (and the term doesn't seem to be googleable). What's that a reference to?
Hyuuga = "Toward the Sun"
...Ah.
Damn. I already upvoted this, so now I've actually read that scene, I can't righteously upvote. Also, seconding moridinamael; Moody's Naruto line was pretty damn hilarious. Though now I'm wracking my brains trying to remember whether 'no match for this eye of mine' is lifted directly from Naruto, or you were just successfully emulating shonen braggadocio.
