Comparison of taijutsu

Rei was surprised that lee suddenly attacked him since lee was not the aggressive type of person like what he was seeing now. Some might beg to differ since the first time he appeared he beat the crap out of sasuke right away but that was lee wanting to prove himself that hard work could also produce the same kind of strength geniuses have. To do just that lee decided to beat sasuke the current number one rookie of that time. Lee's flying kick quickly descended about to hit but rei wouldn't just let himself be hit without a fight so rei dash forward and duck underneath the airborne rock lee grabbing lee's kicking thigh and the other foot's shin then pushed the shin he was holding upwards and accelerate lee's descent with a shove.

Lee was caught off guard by rei's move his flying kick that was supposed to hit dead on was cleanly countered resulting into him being off balance in the air if this continues he'll crash on ground head first. Lee decided to forcefully turn his body midair to flip himself to land on both feet. Rei who supposedly have a calm mind since he is mentally mature should've ended it with explanation but being a child and training how to kill sharpened his instincts to respond and finished his fights as fast as he could so he didn't let the opening lee showed and dash towards him with a middle kick of his own. Lee responded with a wheel kick their legs colliding made a loud sound. Rei made a face with pain visible on his expression thinking that if this was his previous life with the force of collision of their legs it would've probably broke their shins in half. Both lee and rei retreated but resume their fighting stance.

Lee: who are you?

Rei: is that something you ask after attacking someone?

Lee: tsk, if you weren't spying on me would have I attack you?

Rei: spying?

Lee: Don't lie!

Lee dash towards rei and made a step towards rei's left side then swung his right fist for a left hook aiming for the temple. Rei was surprise by lee's speed he didn't really think that he would be that fast since he was only a year older and probably has only trained a year longer than him as well he could only fight defensively in this case so he tried to block the hook with his left arm. Lee reacted quickly when he saw rei's blocking motion and switch his attack to a left straight punch towards rei's chin. Rei didn't like being pressured even with the speed disadvantage so he responded with a right straight of his own their fist colliding as a result. The two exchange blows after another resulting on being hit on different parts of their body lee was overwhelming rei with his speed and power so the volume and power of his attacks are much better but rei didn't let him get hit without replying back one or two of his own as well since he couldn't match lee's physical abilities he timed every punch or kick lee unleashed and made counters resulting in a few solid hits.

Rei realize that if he keeps on fighting lee at close range he would definitely lose since he is losing out in physical abilities. Rei could step back and keep lee away from him with shurikenjustu and ninjutsu if he wants to and he'll definitely win the fight. Winning this fight means nothing to rei though since he is not a person who'd want to always win unless his life depends on it what he seeks right now is to improve is fighting abilities and firing back with ninjutsu and shurikenjutsu wouldn't accomplish that heck if wants to win badly he could overwhelm lee with his body flicker or doing combo moves with his ninjutsu.

Rei hasn't even realized yet on why is lee fighting him aggressively like this but since it's already a spilt milk he decided to end the fight in one go since he would clearly lose if he keep on fighting with the same strategy. Lee looked at rei with fierceness in his eyes since spying on a ninja's training is a taboo even if he was only training his taijutsu it was the only thing he has since he had no talent on any other skills seeing rei on passive stance seems to be gathering his strength Lee move forward with all his might looking to end the fight.

Rei was gathering all his remaining strength and reinforcing his body with chakra to unleash a finishing blow when he saw lee rush towards him he thought that it was finally his chance to finish it once and for all so he dashed forward as well and made a leaping round house kick aiming for lee. Lee Reacted to rei's action and decided to dodge rei with a modified butterfly kick so he spun midair avoiding rei's kick and now his foot descending towards rei. Rei had no choice but to use ninjutsu to avoid being fatally hit so in that fraction of a second, he hurriedly uses "body replacement technique" and lee's foot descended toward a wooden log destroying a part of it of it.

Rei: I lost this fight... I'm still wondering why did you attack me though?

Lee: tsk... we can continue fighting the fight is still not done yet.

Rei: no, I already give up since I lost in taijutsu.

Lee: are you being disrespectful to me. The only thing I have is taijutsu and I want to prove to everyone that I'm just as good as ninja with only this. You could clearly use ninjutsu now but you decided from the start to not fight with me with all you have.

Rei: errrmmmhh. I apologize for that but I just wanted to know how strong my taijutsu was compared to yours next time we can fight with everything. Besides that, I didn't really understand why you attacked me?

Lee: you're pretty cocky to fight with me purely in taijutsu. I'm someone who's betting everything in it. didn't you know that it is a taboo to watch a shinobi's training without their permission?

Rei: errhhmmm I didn't.

Lee suddenly dash forward and gave rei a middle kick sending rei backwards and colliding to training post.

Lee: I would've let you go if it was just not knowing that spying on someone's training is a taboo since you look new in the school but you disrespected me when you fought without using everything you have since I fought you with all I have. I don't care about geniuses my goal is to surpass them with hard work alone.

Rei didn't realize that he was disrespecting lee when he fought him with his taijutsu alone and suddenly using a ninjutsu to dodge a decisive hit was still alright but when he gave up and said he lost in taijutsu that's when he offended someone who is dedicating his life in taijutsu. When rei realize that he has offended someone he now just hopes to reconcile with lee and promise to fight him with all he has but he suddenly got kicked in his mid-section sending him flying and colliding to training post. Now mad with being sneaked attack Rei suddenly form hand seals and use "water release: raging waves".

Startled Lee was not able to react and got hit by the water release head on drowning him in a huge amount of water now kneeling to the ground he was about to stand up and counter attack but his opponent suddenly made use of the water around him and form water clones using "water release: water clone technique" now surrounded the water clones attacked him mercilessly but he fought back with all his might dispersing a few and was about to attack the real body of rei.

When Rei saw that lee was able to disperse most of his water clone that fast and now only left with two on his left and right side he remembered that he was training all this time to use the water clones like kisame hoshigake did against team guy when he imprison neiji, lee, and ten ten in water prison that was used by water clones but the hand seals was formed by the original body so this time he decided to use it with water gun technique targeting lee from his blind side.

The water bullets were about to hit lee when suddenly a passing by ninja body flickered and punch towards the water bullets completely destroying them. It was a man with a bowl cut and that weird smile out of nowhere, wearing a green jumpsuit with flak jacket on top. Rei realizes that this time would probably be when guy visits rock lee in the academy since he heard that there was a student who can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu so guy was about to encourage him and keep on training using his youth.

Might Guy: Boy, you are pretty good with the use of ninjutsu chaining them like that but don't you think that the both of you had enough?

Rei: Well... I've already apologize to him since I didn't realize I made to many mistake and offended him but he didn't have to sneak attack me. we've already fought anyway and he got me good I think I'll have bruises.

Lee: but you disrespected me you didn't fight with all you have from the start!

Rei: that's why I already apologize come on... give me a break, then next time just beat me even when I'm using everything I have. Besides I'm like you even if I can use ninjutsu this well I don't think at all that I'm a genius I train hard every day perfecting my taijutsu as well and I'm not from any ninja clan.

Lee: that just made you more of a genius having that kind of skills and not coming from a ninja clan tsk tsk tsk... you'll see my hard work will pay off and surpass the geniuses with taijutsu alone.

Rei: Didn't you hear me at all I train hard every day as well like you do besides my father is a jonin so he taught me a lot things... taijutsu is awesome don't you think without mastery in it you'll simply be an easy target besides If you have overwhelming speed and strength what would ninjutsu do if you can beat the crap out of your opponents before he makes or finish their hand seals.

Guy: HAHAHA! you are pretty sharp kid why don't you two reconcile and call this quits... after that you can be rivals and train with the power of youth!

Rei was bewildered with guy's attitude and gestures at one point he decided that it would also be good to learn from guy and pick up things like the eight gates. Since the eight gates would enhance his battling power even if temporary but with his weirdness he just didn't want to anymore. The weirdness just might stick to him like what happened in rock lee picking up almost everything guy does you would even mistake lee for guy's son with their resemblance, the one thing he really didn't want to do is wear that green jumpsuit.

At the end of the day though with guy's interference lee and rei was able to make up and heard each other side of story and apologize for each other's misunderstanding. The two decided to spar every now and then as well, Lee would like to fight rei full power with all his ninjutsu at times though to train himself against ninjutsu users while rei wanted to spar with lee with taijutsu alone so that he could improve his close combat techniques the both agreed and decided to be friends and rivals at the same time.
