It's kinda funny how people are so fixed upon Lee's speed against Gaara, lol Sasuke achieved that same speed in a month.
He obtained that speed through the sharingan, and never really moved that fast ever again. Sasuke is NOT currently as fast as Rock Lee man.
No, minato's speed is still infinity.
:-O
GTFU Fan boy.
Well, back in the chuunin exams, Lee has a 4 in base speed while Guy had a 5. In the latest databook Lee has a 4.5, but it might have changed up until now.
Yup. Gai was only .5 faster, and Lee has still been wearing weights since then. I'm sure if a databook was printed today they would both be a 5 in speed, the highest, which still wouldn't prove who is faster as of the War.
Amount of work is irrelevant to this topic. The truth is that his speed is easily obtainable by most upper tier ninjas and that's it. He is fast, but certainly far from godlike or something like that.
The question isn't is he "Godlike", but simply faster than Naruto and Gai. He would obviously be faster than Naruto if he had a BM cloak, people are argueing if he would be faster than Gai in the same sinerio.
FINAL NOTE: Alot of shinobi are fast, but not BASE SPEED fast. Anyone running against Lee right now would BURN OUT and run out of energy before Lee. He wouldn't have to "increase" his speed from normal, because he NORMALLY wears the weights! His base speed without the weights would be incredibly fast, but more importantly NATURALLY FAST without putting more stress on his body than he normally does!!!
In other words, if he dropped the weights he'd naturally be able to move at super speed, while other shinobi would be seriously stressing their body to move that fast for any duration of time!!!
