That's wrong. Fairy taijutsu would probably have 0 affect on the tree. Now if he use his gates that's a different sorry. But gates require chakra so....
his jutsu are not chakra based, they are taijutsu based on youth!![]()
what i ment with chakra based is the jutsu itself, the thing that hits you, it is not based on chakraWrong, all Ninjas had chakraso it doesn't matter if he uses taijutsu because many other Ninjas can use taijutsu. The tree goes after anything with Chakra not those who use chakra attacks. Gai can use Ninjutsu since he used summoning jutsu twice in the manga. The fact is anyone can do taijutsu so that means the whole alliance could win by only using taijutsu if it was right but its not. The tree goes to anything with chakra. Just because Gai can use afternoon tiger doesn't mean he could win, we saw when Tobirama water jutsu cut the tree's branch that it just grew and kept going for Naruto.
Lee has chakra too, he's just can't mold it to perform genjutsu or ninjutsu. Taijutsu does use chakra to increase their strength and speed as well. You need chakra to open the gates as Gai explains ithttp://narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/085/9
his jutsu are not ninjutsu based, they are taijutsu based on youth!
8 gates gai.. can't wait![]()
did you watch the kisame vs gai fight? i suggest you go rewatch the ending
the gates might require chakra pools but the taijutsu he uses is not chakra based.
