Rock Lee was made for taijutsu, just like how Sasuke was for the sharingan, Neji for the byakugan. Rock Lee was made for Taijutsu.

That "hardwork" excuse .. don't even bring it up anymore people. The kid learned something that takes 20 years to learn, in less than a year.. come on now.


And do people even acknowledge the fact that , Rock Lee surpassed Neji in less than a year. Neji the so called "genius" that had been working his ass off since he was a kid, and then got acknowledged as a prodigy. Sasuke, working his ass off since he was a kid.. only then he got acknowledged as a prodigy. Spent his time studying in the academy.


People who say "no rock lee" simply works hard. Sorry but the body has its limits. Rock Lee would not be able to do the workouts he does if he didn't have the gifted body of his.. And Gai had been working for a longer time.. and in fact even harder than Rock Lee.. but yet lee got on his level in 3 years (current Gai and Lee are basically equals as far as i can see).

When was the last time we have seen Rock Lee knocked out in practice?


So yea, today's chapter basically puts Rock Lee in the same category as Naruto/Neji/Sasuke..

Oh whats more funny is Sasuke and Neji the "geniuses" actually trained more than Rock Lee and Naruto as kids. Just saying. :p

Y'all still think he isn't a genius or a gifted ninja, just because he wasn't good in genjutsu and ninjutsu?

Why does this matter? Whether it was from hard work, or
Born talent the fact of the matter is, he is a good ninja.

It doesn't everyone 20 years to learn....that was just his (untalented) dad

But you really can't call it natural talent. Lee is the epitome of hard work surpassing genius. For you to suggest it was something he was born with is somewhat insulting to his character

Ummm he still bust his ass 24/7 to perfect his taijutsu. He has the best work ethic in the manga.

I thought it was forbidden to argue with "manga facts" on here. Manga says he was a conplete loser, and trained hard to get where he is.

He can be considered a genius in taijutsu now

But from birth? Nah

Yes and for you people to say Neji and Sasuke who been working their asses off since they were little kids.. while Lee wasn't even doing anything on their level, can surpass them with just 1 year of hardwork.. as if.

from birth = genes..

no one in Naruto is a genius from birth literally... its impossible. Even the Rikudou.

The people who represent "hardwork" in Naruto are freaking not even close to the hardwork done by the so called "prodigies" or "geniuses".

Gonna have to agree with everyne else on this one. The manga has shown multiple times hes an extremely hard working and trains excessivly with gai. That does not mean hes not talented tho, he wouldnt be the taijutsu master he is if he didnt have the talent and body for it.

Databook: Gai is the hardest worker

Rock Lee gets on Gai's level in 3-4 years.. Gai someone who has been working his ass off for over 20 years.. Yea sure ain't talent.

I don't think you know what you are saying

Yes Me and Kakashi are idiots, who can't see reality.

Well of course. Lee's training was intense once Gai took him under his wing. Extremely hard and intense compared to what ANY other person his age was doing (everyone thought his actions were eccentric)

Idk what to say about the genes thing. I guess you're implying that an innate ability for taijutsu was already in him. Maybe/maybe not

Well Gai is OLDER than him so of course he's been training longer. What's your point? We don't know how old Gai was when he became a master of taijutsu

I dont really get how talent prevents one from achieving something with hard work.
