not to mention that in order to bust out insane speed and the omote renge, it was necessary for lee to unlock chakra gates.

he does have chakra, and he does use it. he just cant mold it with hand seals to perform advanced jutsus with it
exactly what i've been saying. Chakra is also used in taijutsu. Besides the sasuke - lee time in the beggining, In ch 230 sasuke also says that he can conserve chakra with the 3rd dot, and he's only using taijutsu at the time.
