You said that, right? that&#39;s not theory, that&#39;s stating it as a fact. that sounds ignorant.



</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>I&#39;m just saying that the fact that Lee became a genin without being able to use either ninjutsu or genjutsu doesn&#39;t fit with the story line that caused Naruto to fail the academy exam, which is a plot hole.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

The academy exams are not always ninjutsu and genjutsu....Naruto said himself &quot;I got unlucky and had to do replication each time, the technique that i sucked at.&quot; Once he failed the exam, he proved himself worthy LATER ON to his teacher and gained Gennin status. (You did see Anime ep. 1, right?)


Lee was guaranteed the same situation. Everyone told him you suck balls and can&#39;t be a ninja. He probably failed the exam....THEN kishimoto even shows you Kakashi talking with Gai. Telling him Rock Lee was alot like him.

Gai probably took Lee under his wing, trained him hard, and allowed him to become a genin, once he earned it. why do you think Lee likes Gai so much? Gai obviously believed in lee when no one else did, kind of like Iruka with Naruto.
