Rock Lee is a member of the Naruto cast and despite being a later addition to the series, he managed to win over many admirers with his outstanding performance during the Chunin Exams. Despite having a lot of obstacles in his way, he overcame them all and evolved into his best self, especially during the early parts of the show.
Disclaimer: Before you go through this page, please remember that it will contain spoilers for Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
In contrast to his peers, Rock Lee was unable to concentrate chakra outside of his body, which is required to practice Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. This made him a rare youngster as he was technically unable to perform Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. He had no choice but to use Taijutsu.
Thus Lee devoted all of his attention to Taijutsu as he was unable to perform Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. He grew incredibly as a result, gaining strength, speed, and other attributes. Through intense training and work, he exceeded the physical limitations of the human body. He has more physical prowess than anyone else his age in the original series.
Through sheer will and hard work, Rock Lee developed and inherited many techniques. Here are some of the most popular techniques in Rock Lee’s arsenal:
Front Lotus is a deadly Taijutsu technique and the opponent is kicked upward by the user, who then launches them into the air. In order to prevent the opponent from moving or fleeing, the user closely pursues them along their upward trajectory. Rock Lee assists in this by wrapping opponents in his bandages.
The user starts spinning and launches them headfirst onto the earth once they've reached the apex of the original kick's arc. Just before impact, the user releases the opponent and flees for cover, leaving the opponent to fall to the ground on their own. As it requires the user to open at least one of the Eight Gates, it causes fatigue and leaves the user open for a counterattack.
The reverse lotus is a lot similar to the Front Lotus with slight differences in the execution of the technique. These slight alterations boost the damage and speed the user strikes their opponent with.
To execute this technique, the user must open at least three out of the eight gates. Gaara's Shield of Sand is unable to defend him when Rock Lee performs Reverse Lotus on him. In order to properly maneuver Gaara and deliver the finishing blow that knocks him back to the ground, Lee gradually wraps Gaara in the bandages he is wearing while he attacks.
Leaf Hurricane is formidable taijutsu. In this technique, a sequence of high and low kicks are delivered by the user, each moving so quickly that not even the Sharingan can respond to it.
When Rock Lee uses it on Sasuke Uchiha, he begins by kicking high and backward with his left foot, which sets up his right foot for a low kick. Although the first kick might inflict damage on its own, its main purpose is to divert Sasuke's attention so that he will block it, leaving him open to the second strike.
This is a Rock Lee-only move in the series as he becomes a pure machine of destruction after drinking, losing all control over his body. He turns unpredictable and starts attacking and evading foes with pure instinct and muscle memory. He becomes much faster and more agile, making it difficult to anticipate his next move.
This is one of the most dangerous Taijutsu abilities. Although light usage of this is okay, heavy usage of this technique will definitely kill the user, unless there are special circumstances involved. The Eight Gates refers to eight specific chakra points that limit the amount of chakra a user can use.
By opening these gates, the user is able to exert their full potential but it comes at the risk of damaging their body. With intense training, the user is able to open these gates and survive, but opening the eighth gate results in certain death. The only known shinobi who survived after opening the Eighth Gate is Might Guy, who was saved by Naruto Uzumaki.
