i got an email asking for Lee's bio which sounds so devastating ^ ^" yes, it's true that Rock Lee often underrated due to his "peculiar" look, no fashion sense, overwhelming self-confidence, and not to mention, his "beautiful" eyes. yet beneath all those oddity (if u dont mind) Rock Lee is a true inspiring character, next after Naruto. i know many people who admire him, and one of them is my lil brother from DeviantArt, jokerdragon. "I kept my words, this bio goes for you" *bear hug*

The Konoha Beautiful Green Leaf
Rock Lee lived a harsh childhood because his classmates often picking on him due to his inability in genjutsu and ninjutsu. Lee is indeed a very spirited taijutsu (hand-to-hand combat) specialist and is the paragon of hard work. incapable of using genjutsu or ninjutsu, he fights using taijutsu alone. no matter who the opponent, Lee always shows respect and never attempts to demean them. as an academy student, he was teased for his inability, leading him to spend all his time and concentration on taijutsu under the guidance of his sensei, Maito Gai.

through practice, he has become so overcompensatingly strong in the taijutsu discipline that he was allowed to graduate the ninja academy with his teammate and rival Hyuuga Neji. Neji originally claimed that Lee was not really a ninja since he can't use genjutsu or ninjutsu, saying that just because Lee is the first student who graduated from the academy with only taijutsu doesn't mean that he is amazing, just unusual. the greatest of Lee's "trump cards" are five of the eight chakra gates. he is the only known person below Jonin-level capable of opening any of these gates.

Lee has also manifested a natural predisposition towards Drunken Fist; when he drinks as little as one drop of alcohol, he becomes an unpredictable and unstoppable force of destruction and chaos. his actions while drunk are usually a combination of misguided attempts to impress Gai, regardless of whether or not Gai's around, and drunken attacks on anyone who might happen to be near him. when drunk, his moves have an extra edge of unpredictability to them, much like the actual Drunken Fist fighting style.

in the Part 2, Team Gai is sent as backup for Team Kakashi on a mission to rescue Gaara from the hands of Akatsuki. in terms of his appearance, he now sports a Konoha ninja vest, further increasing his comical resemblance to Guy. if it weren't for the fact that Gai is almost twice as old as Lee, they'd look identical. he also seems to be more suited to teamwork now, no longer letting his thirst to prove himself lead him head first into a fight. Much of his personality remains the same; he still looks up to Gai and tries to follow in his footsteps.

Team Gai
Leader : Maito Gai
Age : 29 (Jan 1)
Lee's relationship with his sensei, Maito Gai, is emotional to the point of comedy; their hugging, overstated posing, and odd mannerisms weird out Naruto, Sakura, and even Sasuke to the point of blankly staring with disbelief when they witnessed them for the first time. Lee's bond with Gai is by far the strongest student-teacher relationship described in the series; Lee owes a large part of his character to Gai's guidance, including his dedication to hard work, taijutsu prowess, outfit, and haircut (Lee already had the large eyebrows). Gai himself believes that Lee has "beautiful eyes," and also calls him his "cute student."

Team Mate : Hyuuga Neji
Age : 16 (July 3)
at first Neji underestimated Lee due to his inability in ninjutsu and genjutsu, he believed that fate cannot be changed and Lee's fate is losing. indeed Neji was Lee's worst rival, yet Lee never gives up to fate and he proved himself is not a loser thru hardwork. i guess Neji gave the most significant acknowledgement to Lee. at the start of the mission to retrieve Sasuke, Neji is seen helping Lee move about. in Naruto Part 2, Neji and Lee no longer rivals they both worked well as a team (thou Neji still feels awkward with Lee's nature ^ ^").

Team Mate : Tenten
Age : 16 (Mar 9)
Tenten seemed to discourage Lee at first, she kept telling him that all hardwork wont paid off since Neji is a born genius. yet Lee didn't heed her and he proved that even a loser like him can be a genius thru hardwork. Tenten is probably the least talked-about character in Naruto. she often seen practicing with Neji and known to be the best in weaponry.

Haruno Sakura
Age : 15 (Mar 28)
Lee's first encounter with Sakura is before the Chuunin Exam when he appears before Team Kakashi, proclaims his undying love for Sakura minutes after seeing her for the first time. after a display of exaggerated affection, in which Rock Lee blows hearts at Sakura through winks (and she dodges all of them ha ha ha ha). Sakura never really heeds him, just like most people do, yet when Lee get terribly hurted by Gaara in Chuunin Exam, Sakura shows empathy by giving him flower. however Sakura seems to never really have a special feeling towards Lee but friend.
