I admire your thread for all its purpose however wrong it may be. Lets start with the first point you tried to make with Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi, yes he opted to flash his ms when provoked by kisame, why? Who knows, what we do know is kisame never saw itachi's ms when that situation happened, because Itachi had his back to him(this is 1 way of putting this down). Next, you yourself said abc logic doesn't work well in nv, so why use it? You used it when you made the comparison between how Itachi handled kisame and how he handled gai( 2nd way of putting this down). Finally, when Itachi saod to kisame " don't underestimate him " Itachi had already exhausted his ms, not only that but it was never Itachi's intention to hurt the leaf which means its shinobi as well, since we all know that it was Itachi's extended mission to watch the akatsuki as a spy for the leaf while being exiled. If you argue this then you deny the very manga you read. Also I just want to clean things up a bit, you said Gai was at a disadvantage and I agree but you then go on to say Gai was destroying kisame, and well thats just not true, Kisame was winning the fight up until the final technique clash between the two shinobi and well had that been anyone else tech they would have lost but since gai wasn't using chakra he got the better end, but we need to note kisame wasnt at full power and even in a weakened state kisame managed to subdue gai and the rest of the shinobi that captured and then later go on to finish his prior mission and execute himself.
Now lets go to this sannin business. Gai at any gate less than the 8th can't beat none of the sannin. Gai's 8th gate tech is hirudora and it couldnt kill a weakened kisame so it surely cant kill a nearly immortal shinobi in tsunade nor Orochimaru and his 2 immortal transformations( The Dragon God & Great White Serpent ) both of which can only be beaten by being sealed or with great ocular powers such as sasuke's case. Tsunade would outlast 7th gate gai, and even the 8th gate wouldnt beat the immortal transformations of Orochimaru. Sm Jiraya on the other hand could compete with 7th gate gai or win if he can get off his sound genjutsu its a easy bet since the manga has shown us that gai 7th gate is fast no doubt but his speed and movements were visible when attacking Godara which means it isnt instant and well sm sensing align with sm reflexes has dodged faster ( ftg, and 3rd raikage ).
True kisame did own killer bee but here you go again using the abc logic that you said does not count in nv. You do know what the meaning of abc logic is right? If you don't then I will explain it. It works like this, if sasuke beats naruto and naruto beat neji does that mean sasuke > neji because naruto beat neji and sasuke beat naruto. Its failed because you can't compare what a shinobi did to another shinobi and then take their skurmish and try to make a comparison with another shinobi that is obviously not the same shinobi that lost and has different characteristics and traits and skills. I hope you understood
Killer Bee whooped a underdeveloped ms sasuke until killer bee caught a whiff of amaterasu and then the ox-octopus was screaming like a *****. Anyway a later more developed ms sasuke battled the unruly A and drawed with him so that further puts this thread down.
Tsunade's byakogu isn't going to help her in a fight? Really? Last i checked in a fight you take damage, so if she is in a fight she will take damage then what is the purpose of her byakogu??? Its rhetorical because everyone already knows albeit except you. 100 Healing jutsu would outlast Gai's 7th gate or maybe even the 8th gate is she could withstand the blows but she sure would be able to withstand the 7th gate long enough to outlast gai until he's lying on the ground in agonizing pain and then she would snap his neck. Should I provide manga scans of 7th gate gai not being able to move slightly after using the 7th gate or do you know like I know its the truth?
Kakashi did say Gai was better only when he realized gai was about to use the 8th gate and well since you said gai can win in the 7th or less vs tsunade I don't think mentioning a statement acknowledging 8th gate power is irrelevant.
I applaud you for making this thread and taking the time to do it but you would have never done this if not for gai's recent accomplishments or better yet you might just be trying to get under some folks skin, which I think would work on all the pro tsunade fans. I simply exploit falseness and stand for justice that is all.
