Why has Tsunade never leaned Gates?

[Nattana]

Was it because she would be too strong?

I mean, even Kakashi knew how to open 1st Gate...

 

[Styles]

Have Kakashi opened a gate? I remember him re opening a chakra point but not a gate. Have he used lotus or something in canon?

 

[HyuugaHeir]

I think opening the gates requires the equivalent amount of training to one's extremes. That is the whole point of Gai and Lee's characters. You could argue that Tsunade had relatively the same amount of physical training, but I am pretty sure it would not amount to Gai's dedication to that certain field. I mean Tsunade might as well have the ability to open a gate or two but for what reason would she need to? She has Chakra enhanced strength of the finest calibre. She would not need unnecessary drawbacks from opening the Gates.

Spoiler

Same goes with the Hyuuga. I have read some posts about the Hyuuga being able to open the Gates. In theory yes, they can, but people always forget about context. Would a Hyuuga really devote himself to extreme physical training in pushing his limits to master Gates? They already have Jyuuken to be busy about.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Was she even good with Taijutsu? Idek.

 

[Nattana]

Does it even matter? You don't need to be good with Taijutsu to open gates.

Tsunade definitely had a lot of physical training, she's a full-frontal fighter after all.

Okay, but the thing is that no one wants Tsunade to open 8th gate. I'm just talking about 1-2, maybe 3 so she can get a significant speed boost and enhance her physical power even more. And the thing is that she could probably stay in Gates way longer than any other character thanks to Byakugou continuous regeneration.

Hell, Gai after using 6 or 7th gate was just exhausted, so with enough training she could pretty much stay in Gate 3 with almost no drawback.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Not her style.

 

[TheEvilOne]

Well Guy has to open the 7th gate just to match her physical power, so I'd say she had no reason to learn it or simply she focused more on her medical studies instead.

 

[Tauren Chieftain]

because you need extreme taijutsu training to be able to open gates, something Tsunade doesn´t have.You also need talent like Kakashi said Lee was genius in that area.

 

[Darth AniCetuS]

Either she couldn't or never bothered to master it.

 

[FemmeFatale]

She seem to be stronger than the gates, so it's useless to learn them, The only gate that rivals the amount of damage she can create are the later two.

Tsunade is a perfect chakra control user, the gates for her would be a temporary byakugou mode. Unlike Gate users, Tsuande can manipulate largely quantities of chakra.

And technically Tsuande has the amount of chakra and the seal to achieve gate like speeds, Kishi just nerfs her.

Can you tell me the difference between Gai's and Byakugou? Actually Byakugou should forcebly unlock the gates.

 

[Yahcob13]

Kakashi probabbly learned from Guy but never advanced with it because it required too much training. I imagine that Tsunade didnt learn because she could rely on jutsu to increase her strength and she was a med ninja and opening the gates does the opposite of healing.

 

[SenseiSama]

Because she can't

Talent like kakashi?? Gai has no such talent, nor lee... it's kinda the point... Work hard.... train... blah blah

 

[Joshutsu]

You can't take something from other characters just cuz.

Tsunade can't be fast. It be a thing, every character needs a balance.

Tsunade could do gates but it would be bad for opponents.

 

[kiiro]

Not like Kakashi, "LIKE KAKASHI SAID"

Kakashi said you need certain Talent to open the gates.

 

[Tauren Chieftain]

What @ Kiiro said

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

The same reason why kakashi didn't leave medical ninjutsu. Or why Sakura doesn't learn a bunch of genjutsu

 

[Livenojutsu]

Tsunade definitely has the knowledge about gates. May be she can do it but not all gates.

I didnt know that kakashi can open 1st gate too.

 

[SumireKakei]

Her body couldn't handle it. Gai and Lee does a lot of physical training rather than training their chakra.

I think no one wants that bec it doesnt make sense for Tsunade's character to perform Gates. Yes she has Byakugou that would negate the effects of the Gates, but will she really delve in the practice of opening the Gates when she herself restricts herself from going all out since she is a medical ninja. You can argue that the fourth rule exists and that she can go all out ssince she has Byakugou but heck, that is all consequential events. On a normal day, Tsunade won't resort to speed boosts and physical enhancement via Gates. She already has her Chakra Enhanced Strength for that. Tsunade is a medic first before a frontliner war-savvy mongrel. I know I may sound like I am downplaying Tsunade. That is never my intention. Sure she can have access to Gates. But I just don't see why would she need it.
