#8 gates

Cold ass take but had Tsunade not spent 30 years grieving and instead spent it grinding she would clear the Naruto verse. 8 gates is a perfect compliment to her fighting style and had she mastered it she could use it without drawbacks. oh her leg broke, she’s near death having reached her limit? no problem she uses 100 healing jutsu and is ready for round 2. this is why i think sakura still has the most potential for growth and could easily pass Naruto and Sasuke. You give her 8 gates and she’s SWEEPING Madara

I just had a really cool idea for a fic I might incorporate one day.

Basically, Gai's team mates on team Choza were actually two very talented and intelligent kids who were older than him, so sometimes they tried to give him advice. One day Genma and Ebisu were watching Gai train while they took a break (no one can keep up with a hyper 7 year old Gai), and Genma called out something like:

Genma: Hey. Your taijutsu is already good enough. Maybe it's time to incorporate ninjutsu into your fighting style. After all, taijutsu can only take you so far.

Gai: No way! I'm going to prove that with Taijutsu alone, you can be a great ninja!

Genma: Maybe a tolerable ninja...

Ebisu: What he means is Gai, *stopping a fight before it starts* is that Taijutsu alone is a bit old fashioned. It can't compete with ninjutsu long term or genjutsu for that matter. Afterall, you can't punch your way out of an illusion. And what if someone sent something like, I dunno, a big wave of water at you! What are you going to do?

Gai: Hmm....I guess... I'M GOING TO PUNCH THE WATERFALL SO HARD IT GOES BACKWARDS!!!!

Ebisu: *sigh*

Genma: You're hopeless. *goes back to laying down while Gai does another 400 push ups*

And then we have a fast forward sequence, to Gai facing down Kisame who has basically created a tsunami and is sending the entire ocean at Gai, and Gai's plan is naturally, to punch the ocean so hard it will take Kisame with it.

In the end, Gai proved taijutsu was far from outdated.

One of the many things that make me love Naruto isn't that there are people that have crazy supernatural powers, use kaiju made from a larger demon that was encased in the moon, that the majority of people on this land mass are part alien and reincarnation exists. It's that one person was like "I'm just going to throw hands in this bitch" and it ultimately led to the world being saved
