Nope I disagree regarding the Lee aspect.He also can't do 8 gates.7 was max.And opening a limited amount of gates is something I think an above average ninja can do if he tried as some fodder ninjas were able to do 6 gates in the movie,And Naruto's real development only began after Jiraiya started on him.Before that not really.He also isn't a failure as people make him out to be so.He just has a different type of intelligence seen in battle especially in the Zabuza fight.Mastering SM in a week etc also plays a part to his talent>And the 8 gates isn't a gamechanging ability? You act as if anyone can learn 8 gates. The point being is that 8 gates and KKG justu are both equally hard to master. How useful is byakugan if you don't know how to use any justu or incredibly inept at it. That's basically starting from Zero as well. No one in the NV are equals at birth to begin with. Don't act like Lee is any special due to it. Especialy when he has Gai. I could see if Lee was doing all of that by himself.
>His Natural ability is his Drive. He's not called a genius of hard work for no reason -_-.
>His Legendary Godfather wasn't with him from damn near the start of the series.
>Of course he would be an underdog to someone with more experience. I'm talking about out of K11 and the people around his age at the time
>He beat Kiba off a fluke then took advantage of it. Kurama isn't an natural gift. He's a double edged sword given to him around the time he was born. Using Kurama's chakra is dangerous. I'm not sure you or the other guy understands how the seal works.
> I agree on the chuunin fight with Neji. That's the exact moment he stopped becoming an underdog and someone to be acknowledged. That's around the same Sasuke stopped looking at him as a weakling.
My point is that Naruto was an underdog. and prophecies and KKG doesn't make you excused from that label.
I mean The current Lee isn't an underdog what so ever.
He failed summing bunta even after the training and doing it successfully during the gaara fight:

Naruto was only a underdog for a short period in the beginning.Later on not really as he started getting favours with plot putting Jiraya as his master etc.The child of prophecy along with those sage powerupa ust sealed the deal for it
We will just have to agree to disagree as our views of how underdogs and failures can be perceived are different
