C'mon...Itachi wins this. But not a "stomp" like many think i give you that.
And you restricted the only MS tech Gai has counter for :|
That's all Gai has a counter for? Genjutsu is what most users reply on when dealing with Itachi
Without genjutsu Gai destroys him.
Itachi really high-dif. Next chapter under these restrictions Gai could win.
I agree, next chapter will really decide this
Kisame pushed Gai to 7th gates with no Samadaha.
I find it really hard for Gai to win, unless 8th gates can make a difference to Susanoo.
Gai has no probs with Genjutsu so restrict Amaterasu then Gai wins this.
Even finger genjutsu ?
I don't think it is effective against someone of Gai's caliber.
Gai is high-jounin caliber.. pretty sure its still effective (though the gates break it).
However, Itachi has the power to force him to look. That unmoots the point.gai is high caliber ninja which means that his resistance against it is much higher than most ninjas. remember that that he also trained against kakashi because of his genjutsu prowess.
I also believe that he has to be looking at the appendage in order to be caught, though gai will usually be looking at his opponents feet so that right there makes that point moot in the first place
