Agreed. Lee, Sakura and Guy are the only ones in the entire series, who probably reached Kage Level by their own effort ( And you can also count Naruto, who was a delinquent like Sakura and Lee and who reached Kage Level by his own effort. But then again, some people might use the excuse that he was an Asura reincarnate. So, I don't really know what to say here )
