His max is 8 Gates like his Sensei man. As an adult I see within him the passion and strength enough to pull of the 8 Gates. Once he uses the 8 Gates it's automatic death for the opponent if they do not have a Rikudo powerup or are a Juubi Jin. Didn't Lee blitz Edo Madara to sever him from the Juubi's control. That feat is overlooked a lot as well compared to Sakura who forgot to breathe in his presence. I agree Lee is the 3rd strongest in the K12 after Naruto and Sasuke.Lee blitzes... sakura was useless against a meteor chunk whereas has speed and strength comparable to top tier with 6g's one of the left standing b4 kaguya arose. as q grown man only a fap would suggest hes still at 6g max
For that he would have to engage her in a CQC battle and considering she has Katsuyu that's nearly impossible to get so close. She spits out acid at a very fast rate so Neji's going to have to quickly use Kaiten and then Sakura can close in the gap with him and use her CES to clean the floor with him. Her impact with the person or even the ground creates such a ripple force, it's unimaginable for even Neji to fathom. Sakura also exploited Kaguya's blind spot so she can do the same against Neji's.Maybe Neji was a boost, but he can close her chakra channels. So theres that.
Kiba's Fang over Fang is is avoidable and especially if Kiba is really rash with it all Sakura has to do is step to the side and dodge his attacks. Him transforming into a dog and performing the same acts as Akamaru isn't going to work that easy as well because Sakura has her summon and her Tajutsu skills are quite remarkable.Shino has the ability to kill her, so does Kiba. Shikamaru gets her in shadow possession and he has multitudes of ways of putting her down, especially someone as smart as him.
Sakura evaded a Juubi's chakra arm. I think she will be able to escape his Shadow Possession Jutsu. Shikamaru is smart but lack the battle feats necessary to compete with Sakura. It's going to be hard to lure Sakura because she is smart herself and Shikamaru is not a CQC fighter at all so once again Sakura will have to exploit his weakness.
Lee has the best shot when compared to others because the others might be finding it hard to engage her in a CQC battle and they can't avoid her summon so they will end up getting soloed. Lee is fast and Sakura can't track down his moves at all so he keeps using his strongest Taijutsu techniques until at least Sakura forfeits or is out of chakra. 5G Lee almost literally depleted a Jinchuriki's chakra, so I think with more practice and experience he call pull of a KO against Sakura. I agree that he can't kill her because she tanks everything with Byakugou but at least she gets severely injured this way.Lee on the other hand has nothing but kicks and punches that aren't enough to finish her off. He will beat the pulp out of her while in gates but he cant put her down for good. As soon as he runs out of gates and exhausts himself she ends him.
