Early Naruto lore be like:

-Neji calls Lee a failure for not knowing ninjutsu or genjutsu. everyone praises Neji as a fighter

-Neji's "jutsus" are taijutsu mixed with byakugan

Yeah the powercreep in Nardo became something really frustrating. It shouldn't have gone above Kage level , like that orochimaru vs 3rd hokage fight should’ve been the peak in universe beside the tailed beasts/demons.
Pain arc was good until the TnJ , but it was already too much for the power system to handle
Still… kill yourself narutard (nothing personal, just had to do it)

Rather than not knowing, it was more his inability to do them at all. Also the Hyugas are a special case since they have eyehax, it's not just raw taijutsu

I am still watching Naruto. Rock Lee is such a ridiculous meme character. It has gotten reall bad now, when they tried to rescue Sasuke.
>every single other character in the arc has a very reasonable travel time
>Kakashi runs after them, but first has to summon dogs to get their scent, before he can follow
>the sand ninjas are delayed, because the leaf ninja squad were rushing to go as fast as possible
>all of the 1vs1 fights happened, because the sound ninjas always left someone behind to delay
>Rock Lee after not even being able to walk when the leaf squad left the village, somehow teleported right to Naruto and completely missed all of the previous fights, injured half-dead team mates and with no way of tracking anyone
I don't know why people praise Rock Lee. He feels artifically inserted in. The story would be better without him. A Naruto & Gara reunion would hace been better. Rock Lee had nothing interesting to say to Gara, which was his only shot to prove he's more than a comic relief character, which he isnt even doing well.

What about his ability to spin with his chakra, manipulate his chakra to divert ranged projectiles and his gentle fist fighting style? He is a clearly superior close-ranged fighter than Rock Lee. His defensive potential is extreme and gentle fist enables him to easily beat superior opponents. Rock Lee cant do anything close to that. He is just fast, but that's it.

It makes sense, Neji's fighting style is a perfect blend between taijutsu and ninjutsu where neither can work without the other.

Considering it was Lee's last real moment in Naruto, I'm willing to forgive it, plus the drunken fist was fun. Lee was popular which is probably why Kishi shoehorned him in. Maybe he never liked the character himself though, or never knew what to do with him.
