probably not... Kakashi didn't even master sakumo's kenjutsu... everyone feared sakumo and was probably at the upper tier of S class.

wind beats lightning.

I mean fujin would try but the way I see it rasa might not be killed and in konoha crush there would be fujin vs rasa so he might be too late into reaching the hokage to help.

I mean it'll be fun if he becomes a jounin sensei but at the same time... he has a training maniac kinda personality. he'll make those kids at least top tier chunin in a year that's hard take over on a plot. I think he would influence plot since has strength now but only on key points. he has things to do lol. he might go and hijack them and train them for few months after the chunin exam.

you do realize that taijutsu has the lowest barrier of making some progress right? sure none would easily reach the 7th gate above but in boruto although I'm not really a fan. rock lee has a squad that could open up untill 6th gate wasn't it. it would be impossible for all of them not to have any talent in ninjtusu cuz that probability is extremely low so why weren't they spamming ninjutsu.

it's kinda weird to talk about effort/intense training being a barrier to people who bets their life on their fighting prowess. cuz if it doesn't have drawback everyone would open up a few gates and spam ninjutsu. that's why this argument is kinda meh. but yeah you go on my wayward son.

nah there's a reason why not everyone is an 8th gate practitioner if you could stack it with whatever or still use jutsu why is not everyone doing it. for example hiruzen has been aware of 8th gates why didn't he bother learning it. or kakashi only use it to push his body to the limits... what bothers me now with this 8th gates what makes you ableto control the chakra outside of your body when the one inside is in like berserk it doesn't make sense.

huh it feels like you overselling swift release and shortselling madara and so. but I get the logic behind it, and wanting him to have swift release.

I didn't think it was lightning and wind I thought it was a whole other system. it just makes you quick, but you are right but then again there's no point for swift release on fujin since sooner or later he'll be teleporting... I think that's faster than swift release. fujin kinda said it himself in one of the chapters I believe that there's no point on it as well. I just hope our author has the endurance for this thing to finish lol cuz it's tiring to write.

gonna be a long time I expect him to have the typhoon release around 18 - 20. and he would only get it after mastering his sage mode and pushing his wind release even further than danzo has. I don't think it'll be scorch release... his lightning release might be good but wind and lightning ain't a good match. author might create a new kekai genkai but it'll be pretty tough. reason why I think it's typhoon is more so of the title of the fanfic and also there was a chapter where he wanted to make his wind releases made up of wind basically made up of vortex releases and just shred through everything and that's typhoon release.

8th gates basically I think makes your chakra flow in a cery specific flow unconciously... since they even called opening the 8th gate a formation meaning there's a certain way it all works out hence... they only use taijutsu since they can't manipulate their chakras to create ninjutsu.

prob a few months, a year is too long. I think when naruto graduates fujin would've mastered the teleportation and would've open up a few gates. and by the time the war which orochimaru instigate he might've trained with the sabertooths. and by the time naruto comes back from training with jiraiya fujin might've mastered sage mode and not sure how far he would've taken his mastery over his wind release and others.

sage mode requires the balance of three things. if you go open the gates up to maybe pass the 3rd gate the enhancement your body undertakes is quite insane. how do you balance those three with your chakra being consume in a good pace with your body being at insane lvl. I believe this is an arc for him just to have his body reach the lvl the sabertooths require him to and to have another kind of fight ability depending on who he encounters. for example the same way kisame is basically unkillable by chakra base users because of samehada... not really unkillable but you gotta surpass s rankers to beat him. which was why guy entered 7th gate.

this arc is basically him breaching the gap of his body strength since to be able to be trained by those sabertooths he needed his chakra to be massive and his body to be insanely strong. no 8 gates, and sage mode can't work together cuz 8 gates principle basically won't let you use ninjutsu and concentrate on extreme body strength. his final form might be typhoon release users in sage mode using senjutsu and combination techniques with fire element. I don't know how far he is taking in mastery in fire since that's basically his support and earth, water but lightning might play a big thing for him since it was his hidden trumpcard but so far nothing yet is seen about it. love it continue the hard work

couple gonna get rich... they prolly gonna kill this ambusher real quick cuz of how outdated their info is. they only know mc is fast and that female lead relies on that nirvana shit... which they don't lol.

this fight would probably push mc's saber thing to saber dao...
