The preliminary tournament of the third exam reaches one of its most legendary matchups. Gaara, who bends sand to his will, faces Rock Lee—a fighter who has honed nothing but pure taijutsu. Unable to use ninjutsu or genjutsu, Lee relies solely on his relentlessly trained kicks and punches, and on the resolve passed down from his mentor Might Guy, as he tries to shatter Gaara's impenetrable sand. Lee corners Gaara with blinding speed and fighting spirit, but that sand repels any halfhearted attack. A genius of hard work versus a monster of raw talent—these two opposites collide at the peak of the preliminaries.

Naruto Vol. 10 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Lee corners Gaara with the forbidden Front Lotus, but Gaara survives thanks to a sand clone and his automatic defense. Pushed to the edge, Lee unleashes the Reverse Lotus—opening the Eight Inner Gates that Guy normally forbids—and launches an all-out assault. Yet even his ultimate strike is caught by the sand, and Gaara's Sand Coffin and Sand Burial crush Lee's left arm and leg, leaving him gravely injured and nearly finished as a ninja. Still, Lee's attempt to rise even while broken sears into everyone the soul of one who chases the summit through effort, not talent. Guy intervenes to end the fight, and Lee's fighting spirit is etched into many hearts.
