The Genius of Hard Work ​

---

Since day one of the assembling of Team Gai, Lee made it his goal to become a great ninja despite his lack of talent for Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. He constantly challenged his squad mate and rival Neji, a genius and a product of pure talent, but to no avail.

[The Big Boss]

i didn't read

i didn't listen

 

[Edo GwemBaba]

Indeed he is.

 

[Dęvîa Puęrî]

Didn't read but lee lost and still loses to gaara


Also the only feat lee has shown in the series is when he kicked madara who couldn't possibly care less cuz he's an edo...

 

[Optimistic]

OK, what are we meant to discuss?​

 

[Stark]

Lee said that to Sasuke, look where Sasuke is and look where Lee is..

 

[Codawg]

Lee's a good character, but there's some times where even he can't outdo natural talent with pure stubbornness and hard work. (Maybe with 8 gates fully open he could put up a good fight ) But...Manga's not over yet v-v

 

[Forbidden Technique]

Lee said that to Sasuke, look where Sasuke is and look where Lee is..

Maybe I should of been more clear, but the thread is specifically about Lee surpassing Neji.

 

[Twisted007]

I like Rock Lee, He is a decent Shinobi and he did everything by him self. He didn't have a daddy who gave him free chakra, a brother who planned his life. Hell he doesn't even have a clan. Respect Rock Lee ppl

 

[TheHokage]

Lee said that to Sasuke, look where Sasuke is and look where Lee is..

Naruto also uses hardwork instead of being a genius and look where he is now...above Sasuke.

Anyway I agree hard work surpasses any genius.

[Invsblphntm]

I don't see how Lee gets past Rotation, but ehh... sure.

 

[Frikid]

neji > lee , any day of the week.

And neji was also hardworking.

Anyway I agree hard work surpasses any genius.

Naruto?!

1 He is an Uzumaki
2 Daddy gave him Kurama
3 He is the child of the prophecy
4 Some even claim that he is the reincarnation of the sage of 6 paths

How did he get this far by hard work?!

 

[abcdefgh]

Tell that to Madara.

 

[Forbidden Technique]

The thread is specifically about Rock Lee finally surpassing Neji.

Naruto also uses hardwork instead of being a genius and look where he is now...above Sasuke.

Anyway I agree hard work surpasses any genius.

Good point.

kkg/dna/bijuu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hard work

The thread is about Rock Lee and Neji but it's not like anyone else in the chuunin exams had the potential to to take Gaara to very high difficulty.

neji > lee , any day of the week.

And neji was also hardworking.

The manga disagrees.
