1. If Lee slices her head off with a kick, there's no guarantee she would survive. And I doubt Lee would need 7 Gates to do that. That's probably closer to 4th or 5th Gate at most.

2.Lee just has to bide his time until the summoning jutsu is up.

3. If Lee sees he can't hit Sakura through Katsuyu, an easy answer is to deactivate the Gates and wait her out normally. Also you sorely underestimate Lee's speed.

I also don't think Sakura is second smartest, mainly because I haven't seen many good feats from her. I'd say Kakashi is still second to Shikamaru in that department.

Sakura only has close combat and summoning, so she's not very good at countering other styles lol. Look at her fight vs Shin. Everyone knows that fighting a Sharingan user 1v1 is almost suicide, but the only thing she can do is face him in Taijutsu because that's all she had. And she was losing until Sasuke and Naruto came.

Lee theoretically doesn't even need Gates to beat her. He can wait Katsuyu out and just wear her out via Taijutsu. He trains more than anyone including Gai, and his endurance should be second to none. He just has to continuously damage her little by little. She needs to hit him, butif anyone remembers Sakura vs Kakashi, Sakura is pretty helpless when her opponent is too far above her in Taijutsu for her to hit.

I think Sakura would stand a far better chance if her partner in this fight wasn't a Chunin level.
