Rock Lee would have won the chunnin exams had it not been for gaara.

Nothing's better than gates lee in fifth gate was even stronger than Naruto going kyung chakra against Neji. Rock Lee solos.

I don't think Lee was the strongest. Gaara called him trash after defeating him and Neji made a derogatory statement about heaven not opening it's gates for someone who had to hurt himself to gain power. None of them really seemed impressed by the fifth gate. Plus, Neji's 64 palms and rotation could have countered fifth gate Lee I believe, and he has three sixty degree vision so it don't matter if Lee changes angles like he did against Gaara.

Naruto won by plot no jutsu against Neji.

Sasuke would've won

 

[Blackwatch]

Nah. His body would have been shit in the next match. Even full rested 5th Gate Lee gets negged by 1 Tail Naruto plus Bunta. Gaara wrecks him, Neji wrecks him, possibly Sasuke- not sure on him.

Lol no. You wrote it yourself. Lee lost to Gaara.
The way you put things... dunno who you're trying to fool here ._.

 

[TRE MERCER]

Lee would have won imo as well.​
