Shira looks more of a genius than Itachi and Kakashi combined (their at least has someone to teach them). Not too mention Lee, who has instructions from top taijutsu expert. Remember, this is around six months before Naruto's return, so somewhere in next half a year Neji will become Jonin. And Shira BLOCKED the strongest attack Hyuga has at his disposal, then he shown ability to close chakra points and has his own version of eight gates opening... For me, it is simply too much.
