8 gates have been used before, and that Gai /Dai/lee aren't the first ones. So now I have to ask are they still in top 10 while knowing others can use the gates also, and some have even used the last gate?


In your opinion, would it be a Senju technique or something other clans know also?

You don't need to see a technique to know it by reputation. Well, Gai's dad used it as well, maybe Madara had his spies (Zetsus) everywhere.. But imo it's all about reputation. Lee also talked about it in this chapter from Gai's mere stories.

The 8th Gate is the utmost level of an absolute Taijutsu expert which Gai is.. no, none of the Senjus achieved it.. (until it was confirmed). I can't imagine it.

But Senju clan=/= Tobirama. And i think you probably need a living body for them tho..
What? I said if the senju knew it Tobirama would have used it to solo Madara in 7 gates and Hashirama would romp everyone.

You see I don't put 8th Gate Gai in top 5. Its definately top 5 in terms of Power.

Do you do know Senju were skilled/masters in all forms of ninja way. And being a taijutsu expert has nothing to do with opening the gates..

@Bold, but the manga doesn't mention that..

And also Dai stated it was a kinjutsu, meaning someone had to name it as a kinjutsu.

lee can only use up to the 6th gate so he isnt a badass and still is only top 25

Wasn't even referring to that. I'm talking about that quote that starts from the bottom of scan one to the top of scan 2.

Doesnt matter it doesnt come from a clan if it did it DEFINITLY wouldnt be senju they use swords not martial arts.. also the strength of 8th gate depends on the person might dai couldnt even kill the seven swordsmen with his... not all of them atleast.

People i'm just asking questions...



So now we are making top 10 lists with people who don't exist again.. You're a gray crayon.
Gai isn't even close to me top 10.. just because of a suicide technique lol.... I'm sorry but thats not how my top 10s work. I'm talking about other people.

Not everyone's 8gates is gonna be on the same level.
And how do you know this, if i may ask?


What? I said if the senju knew it Tobirama would have used it to solo Madara in 7 gates and Hashirama would romp everyone.
Hmm, Tobirama doesn't need the gates.. Hashirama if way above the gates..

wait, you want us to put nameless shinobi in the top 10 simply for using 8 gates?

Hmmm, do i? Because i don't recall telling people what to do in the OP. I recall asking a question.


Doesnt matter it doesnt come from a clan if it did it DEFINITLY wouldnt be senju they use swords not martial arts.. also the strength of 8th gate depends on the person might dai couldnt even kill the seven swordsmen with his... not all of them atleast.
first bold, well they were known as the clan of thousand skills, who were experts in all of the skills of a shinobi.. taijutsu/ninjutsu/genjutsu/kenjutsu/fuinjutsu and so on.

second bold, maybe they simply outlasted the gates?

Because the moves belong to the gates, not solely to Gai.

Senju were experts in all areas, that doesn't mean they have mastered all arts to their utmost limits.

The highest calibre of Taijutsu are the gates, while you could call Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami the highest calibre of Genjutsu, etc.

It's too far fetched that Senju are generally capable of doing this. Even current Lee is only capable of opening the gates up to the sixth. Who knows, probably someone opened it before, history is long started from the Rikudo.

Who knows whether it wasn't named Kinjutsu after Gai's dad used it?

But that all doesn't matter. Those three Taijutsu masters were portrayed as those who can use multiple gates. There was no one else recorded who could use them as well, no one portrayed to be able to use them, and so on. So you can't assume certain things.

Madara said it's a rarity to see someone using all 8 gates. So there can't be much of them in history who used them. Either he recorded it observing Gai's dad, or it was recorded somewhere else that once the human opens all the inner gates, he becomes invincible (like Itachi who studied old inscriptions about the Uchiha).

Or it's just plot..

Just like to correct you. I believe it is not power that fluctuates but the duration of the user. As we seen in today's manga, Gai couldn't do the whole combo initially but because of the pain. I believe Dai died/or was in so much pain, that he couldn't kill all of them. But maybe, not that it matters, each 8 gate users power differs only by a bit. Not enough to make a huge difference though; if 8 gates does depend on the power of other users.

As for Senju clan or whatever it is, I think its just hype/reputation that Madara has heard. Or maybe even experienced. I don't think it belongs to a clan, unless Dai/Gain/Lee belong to a clan.

Any ninja could open the gates, however not all of them could achieve the opening of the 8 gates like maybe Guy and his dad did they have to train for that, plus that's only a temporary enhancement of abilities I don't think it would count to put them in the top 10, or maybe I'm wrong who knows, it just an opinion anyways

- Fastest Ninja
- God of Shinobi
- A ninja who was renowned for Genjutsu was from the Senju clan

And i'm just saying. because the Gates is afterall a Konoha kinjutsu. And the ones to make all the kinjutsu of konoha have so far been the Senju.

And yes, Gai's dad predicted his death, and said it is a kinjutsu? lol i doubt it bro.

- Dai was never shown to be a master, - Gai is a master, but sadly isn't at the top alone (this is a fan speculation), - Lee is of course a bit lower than Gai.

But i'm not assuming it.. Madara said its rare to see someone use the 8th gate. Him knowing it means he has either seen someone fight or heard of someone with it. =D

PS: The previous generations are far more skilled than the current.
