1. Just proved my point, of him charging up brotha (chakra went from the first gate to the 8th gate )
. in the scan you posted he did it while running. Thanks. Hashirama in less time than that can summon huge hands in front of or behind him OR pop mokuton from the ground to restrain gai for a bit, while making wood clones. Wood clones distract him on who the real one is, tree world by one of the clones. Hashirama's location becomes unknown. Then Gai can have fun wasting attacks.
2. Only after he turns 8th gate, and already said it'd be dumb for Hashirama to attack 8th gate gai himself.. idk why you keep making it to so that Hashirama is attacking gai in 8th gate.
3. Hmm in 8th gate , hes not. before that? easily.
4. Did you fail to read what I said?? 8th gate is a jutsu that has a time limit, if Gai does not kill Hashirama within that time limit then he isn't beating him. There is no reason as to why anyone would attempt to battle it out with 8th gate gai, unless they want to try their skills against him. Or does your version of 8th gate keep on going forever?
5. How would mokuton techs have helped him?? Wood clones, tell me how Gai knows which one is the real Madara.. he doesn't. Mayfly, tell me how Gai senses Rikudou wood clones mayflying through the earth.. he doesn't.
I will say what I said before:
Only an idiot would attempt to try to battle it out with gai who goes 8th gate, when they can perfectly waste the duration of 8th gate.
Hashirama has no need to actually combat gai in 8th gate, to beat him. He simply needs to let the 8th gate run out.
Idk why you have an obsession with Hashirama trying to attack gai in 8th gate..
