WHY IS LEE ON PAR WITH Kimmimaro??

[MemnochTheCaT]

I think he's referring to the fact that Lee was not yet able to penetrate Kimi's bone defense, and Lee appeared to be sustaining injuries from the battle rather quickly. I love Lee, but I think he was getting the worst of the encounter up to the point where Gaara shows up looking all gothic and cool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Okay, Mut@t@ .. Looks like I am your huckleberry, this afternoon. Here will be that one time you are wrong. Heh. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Lee was the aggressor. True.

Kimimaro can not hit Lee. True & False. I am sure if Kimimaro truly tried to hit Lee, now with his soberness returning, Lee would have been hit. However, Kimimaro did make an attempt in striking Lee. Several times. And, the result? A parry, or deflection followed by swift counter-attacks. It is not that Kimimaro cannot strike Lee, simply that he could not ..

"If Lee was able to escape, then Gaara would not have to save him .." .. I will not even comment on your statement there. The moment you used the word "if", you opened up the largest can of worms (called "possibility ..") for yourself, which I won't partake in consuming.
[i.e. -- "If Gaara did not have that gourd, he would be dead .." See what I'm saying? Fin.]

And, if you truly want to get technical about who will be cleaning house .. it will actually be Lee & Shukaku, since it is not as if Gaara truly does anything .. or can.

On a final note, acquired / trained skill is much different from innate talent. Such as your signature states the difference on [current] strength and potential. On skill alone, Kimimaro could not breach the surface of Lee's defenses to harm him. Thus, what results? The usage of a bloodline limit. Hell, who needs to work when you're born with millions upon millions of dollars? Feel me? Thank ye'. Bamf ..
