The most favourite Anime series Naruto is now aired on Sony YAY! In five regional languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Bengali. The broadcast started on August 15 on weekdays from Monday to Friday at 8 PM. Many Naruto fans don’t watch this series on Sony YAY! Because of time issues. So I am going to start making the Overview of all episodes one by one and in this article, I am continuing from the 22nd episode of Naruto season 1.
Sasuke has attracted the attention of Rock Lee, who challenges him to a fight. Lee is not only interested in seeing how his skills match up against a descendant of the Uchiha clan, but he also has a crush on Sakura, much to her dismay. Feeling neglected in his teammates’ shadows, Naruto offers to fight in Sasuke’s place. Without wasting time, he charges at Lee but is easily knocked unconscious. Lee explains they simply cannot beat him, as he is the strongest of the Konohagakure genin right now.
Finally interested, Sasuke accepts his challenge, and attacks. He’s instantly met with Lee’s Leaf Whirlwind and goes flying backwards. Getting back up, Sasuke prepares, resorting to his Sharingan to figure out Lee’s technique this time. Again, this is futile and Lee explains it’s because his techniques are either ninjutsu or genjutsu, but mere taijutsu, also known as martial arts. With hand-to-hand combat, the Sharingan isn’t helpful, even if he can see the techniques, one’s body cannot move fast enough to react. Lee uses the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf to kick off his next move in order to finish off Sasuke, but a large turtle stops him before he carries this out.

The turtle seemingly reprimands Lee for using a forbidden technique, leaving Naruto to think the turtle is Lee’s sensei. Might Guy, his actual sensei, appears on top of the turtle, punches Lee across the face as punishment, and proceeds to hug him and cry afterwards. Team 7 are shocked, and Sasuke can’t believe he was beaten by what he perceives as a freak. Guy asks the team how his eternal rival, Kakashi, is doing. He’s ahead in their match record, which stands at 50 wins and 49 losses. Guy also says that he is much faster and stronger than Kakashi.
When Guy leaves, Lee confesses that he is not the strongest genin – Neji Hyūga, his teammate. Naruto needles Sasuke, saying that Lee obviously trains harder than him. In the end, the team focuses their attention on the Chunin Exams.
