Lee is unable to use any type of ninjutsu or genjutsu. Upon being assigned to Team Guy, Might Guy took a personal interest in Lee's attempts to prove himself and began to help him in his dream of excelling in taijutsu. With Guy's assistance Lee learned many advanced taijutsu abilities, bringing him ever closer to achieving his goal of becoming a splendid ninja. Lee looks up to Guy as a father type figure.
Through Guy's teachings, Lee has learned many powerful taijutsu techniques. The most basic of these is his Strong Fist style of combat, a martial art style focusing on external damage. Lee has also learned how to open the first five of eight chakra gates, a feat that is difficult for even the most talented ninja. Because of the danger to his body that gates' power presents, Lee is only permitted to open them in certain circumstances . Lee has also learned or developed a number of taijutsu techniques that take advantage of the extreme power and speed he gains from opening chakra gates.

Neji Hyuga

Neji Hyuga

Neji Hyuga is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto created by Masashi Kishimoto . He is a member of Might Guy's Team Guy, consisting of himself, Rock Lee, and Tenten. He is also considered part of the Konoha 11.

Neji is the only known Hyuga clan member whose first name does not start with a kana from the Ha-gyō . His name means "Screw", "Spiral", or "Helix", which probably refers to his Heavenly Spin technique. Neji uses a style similar to Baguazhang and has techniques containing "Eight Trigrams Palm" in their names. His name also bears resemblance to Nèijiā, the word for soft when applied to Chinese martial arts techniques. Soft styles such as Taijiquan and Xingyiquan put their emphasis on "internal power" rather than "external power", and tend to stress circular redirection and controlling the force of an opponent rather than attempting to use force against force. These martial arts are a possible basis for Neji's Gentle Fist style.
In Shonen Jump's annual character popularity polls, Neji often ranks in the Top 10,
