No doubt Rock Lee is one of the strongest Genin during the arc, but more so only because of the Gates and even then only when he goes 3 Gates and above.

we already know he was unable to completely put down the Sound trio in 1 Gate. Dosu saved his teammate by simply softening the earth against Lee's strongest attack in 1 Gate.

In 5 Gates he bodies most save Naruto and Gaara.

we already witness his failure against Gaara, but for Naruto the problem is not only with Naruto's durability, but also the sheer number of clones Naruto can make.

with a handful of clone he can probably take them all out in 5 Gate, but those 1000 or even hundred and Lee stands no chance.

the main thing that seems to be missed by everyone is that Lee can barely keep up the Gates. he barely can 1Gate less than a minute. for 5Gate he can barely go more than seconds before his body tears open.

he will take out dozens or so clones down in 5Gates and then his body will tear open. he can't even continue after that. if Naruto even gets a single hit in there and Lee is completely put down.

Lee's greatest and only Jutsu is his greatest downfall against Naruto's greatest jutsu back then. It can work against a singular opponent by sheer strenght and speed, but because of so limited time it is completely useless against Naruto

and then there are Toads.
