[Neji knows Lee all too well. The chuunin is not slow in getting down to business starting with a low kick he knows Neji will easily dodge. It's always like this, had been for years, where their fights started off in a predictable fashion and usually led to a predictable end. But not here, not in Death City where chakra was null and jutsu was nearly void.
It's a harsh battle between two skilled shinobi. One who's strength rely on his strength and speed, and the other who's strength lie in accuracy and intelligence. As different as they are, they have fought for years and know each other's styles so intimately they could probably mirror the other perfectly should they try.
But in the end, it came down to determination.
Lee often wore himself out quickly in battle but today was different. He paced himself, waiting for the perfect opportunity and it came in the very slight distraction that flickered across Neji's face minutely. And with that, Lee dropped, focusing his weight lower and counter-balancing the Hyuuga in a rush to toppled him.]
