@soupongo Neji was a bit of a statements merchant tbh. Lee objectively had the better feats than him. The only way Neji beats 5th Gate Lee is if he can outlast him, which doesn’t seem likely since one punch from Naruto laid Neji out.
And then there’s Drunken Fist Lee pushing Kimimaro into using the first stage of the Curse Mark, when Base Kimimaro scales above CM2 Kidomaru. Also, Neji honestly got really lucky against Kidomaru. If Kidomaru had just stayed in CM1 and kept hitting him with kunai from Neji’s blind spot, Neji would’ve lost since the only reason Neji won was because CM2 Kidomaru’s arrows have threads connecting them to Kidomaru’s mouth, which Neji could take advantage of to send his Gentle Fist directly to Kidomaru
