Lee! Yeah, Naruto is MANY times slower than Lee, and Neji couldn't put him down, nine-tails or not. And I think that Lee's 'good-guy' heroics are almost as strong in terms of inspiration and pure will as Naruto's, maybe more.

I think Neji would be able to see his ass being handed to him, but not be physically able to do anything about it. I don't believe that Lee would have done all of that training (in the thinly disguised true inspiration to face his true rival, Neji) just to lose. Lee is smarter than that, he realized that his victory would come with hard work, hard work, hard work, and SPEED!! Yes, I said hard work three times!

Similar to Sasuke being able to see Lee, but not being able to get his body to do anything in time, I think Neji would get rocked by open-gates Lee (which Neji never faced, neither did Neji face modern-strength weightless Lee&#33.

LEE LEE LEE!

That being Said, I think Neji is under-rated and over-hated!
