How did Lee graduate the academy?

[Meowazziel]

As i understand, you need to be capable of doing bunshin no jutsu, to graduate the academy.
I can imagine that you need to be at least capable of 1 ninjutsu, as a ninja, to move through the academy and pass in general.

What do you think? How did he pass?
Gai said Lee even lacked good taijutsu in the beginning of his genin days.

He reminded Guy of himself, so guy pulled some strings and allowed him to graduate and join his team.

Plot, or his will.

This. He had friends in high places.

Or maybe he just hit a lotus on Iruka and took the forehead protector out of his hand.

 

[Lrrrrr]

Because the gates will f' up any jutsu U_U

Lol jk, but he was I'm sure able to do a couple, he just wasn't as good.

He handed Iruka his ass..

Gai OBVIOSULY pulled some strings, plus Lee was the 1st of his kind so I guess everyone wanted to see and useful a taijutus only ninja could be.

Or Lee was a special case so he had to perform only taijutsu and it amazed the examiners...

He is only Taijutsu, so they probably understood
