What if Naruto went to Gai for training?

[MadTact]

People must be wondering if i am crazy, but i mean Sharigan users are at a disadvantage against Taijutsu users in general and since sooner or later he will end up fighting Sasuke. Then we would get to see some top class taijutsu and less instances of Naruto being caught in traps so easily.

[hatakescarecrow]

God i do not even want to think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kusachu]

Now THAT would be a thing to see! Swap Naruto with Neji... Hmmm...you know, now i wonder how Neji would have turned out as a member of team Kakashi! That would be a wierd imballance of dojutsu users...but it would be interesting to see! XD

[chin sai]

damn naruto would be insanely strong

[Galth]

But he would have to wear a green suit like Lee's :wtf

[chin sai]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.
but seriously, naruto's power with lee's control, kinda scary

[MadTact]

But he would have to wear a green suit like Lee's :wtf

I thought naruto looked kinda cool in the green suit

[chin sai]

he would be seriously strong i think guy takes huge pride in making sure his team mates are strong



Edit. How do you make a typo of guy and make it gay a and u are nowhere near each other. - Xallisto -

[MadTact]

he would be seriously strong i think gay takes huge pride in making sure his team mates are strong

lol "gay" lol lol. Did u call Gai "gay" on purpose

[Miso]

I also remember Naruto in the green suit. That was when he and Jiraiya were trying to find Tsunade, I believe.

Anyways, it would be a good thing for Naruto to learn Taijutsu. And as Gai is the most skilled one in this area it's the best to ask him.
But seriously, I don't think it's gonna happen. I just have the feeling that there isn't enough time for Naruto to be trained properly by Gai because things are going on and on and he will be to busy with other stuff.

[Galth]

HE didn't actually wear it in the manga, Jiraiya stopped him before he could put it on XD but i heard he did in the anime :wtf

And i don't think Naruto would have passed the test to become genin that Gai gave his apprentices... or would be able to get to lee's level of taijutsu... ever...

[MadTact]

I dont remember him actually wearing it, he just imagined wearing suit, if i am not mistaken.




And i don't think Naruto would have passed the test to become genin that Gai gave his apprentices... or would be able to get to lee's level of taijutsu... ever...


eh, I am certain if Naruto trained as hard as Lee it wouldnt be imposible with the right guidance

[Kusachu]

isn't naruto in the green suit playable in one of the naruto games?? I thought i seen a pic of it...XD HA! Jiraiya told him he wasn't allowed to wear it...lol or something like that..heh

[walkie]

i think it will be waste of training only taijutsu someone like naruto....he is the kyuubi-kid, he has a lot more than chakra anyone else if he can control it...thats why he should stick with jiraiya, who even said "a rough seal" for orochimaru's seal, a sannin, a legend about summoning and sealing stuff

besides if naruto masters his kyuubi talents, he will not concern about sharingan i guess :D

[Predator]

I think he would be wasted during the first month of training. Don't forget that all the Gai's team members are good at taijutsu in a talented way. Lee is open to taijutsu moves only, Neji is a genius and close combat specialist. Tenten is perfect with ranged weapons. All three of them needed some rough training, while Naruto would need to start from the basics. He's a ninjutsu user as well, which is not Gai's speciality. So the answer is: "If he would that would be good...... But he can't!"

[Kusachu]

yeah naruto uses a lot of ninjitsu...but he is also very much a taijitsu user too...that's where kage bunshin comes in most handy

his moves are mainly hand to hand combo moves.  Naruto doesn't rely on ninjitsu because is isn't very good at it.  Notice he doesn't really have moves that involve a lot of hand seals??  he is a very capable hand to hand fighter and training with Gai would only increase that i think. :jir_ras :jir_thumb

[Galth]

But Gai would not have had a solution for his Kyuubi problems, only Jiraiya has been able to help him with that up to now...


Especially the new 4tail form, if it was Gai who would have encountered it first, and not Jiraiya - who only just was able to seal him back in and discover the new 'stickers' for his fore head kakashi used XD - then Gai would've probably died versus Naruto and Kyuubi would perhaps have come back...

[pjoto]

I think it would be great if Naruto trained with Gai.
Well, first off, Naruto heals much faster than anyone else. Also, he has crazy stanima, and loves physical training. He could reach a much higher level of Tai-jutsu much faster than any avarage ninja.

Also, if he could use Tai-jutsu with his Kage-Bunshins, that would make them much more efficient.
He mostly uses his Kagebunshins as diversions, shields or bad-looking combos at the moment, so if he could learn Tai-jutsu, he would become much stronger than he would learning a new Nin-jutsu.

[chin sai]

yeah his taijutsu is umm..really awkuard, guy is the only ninja who itachi is like watch out this guy is really skilled

[MadTact]

yeah naruto uses a lot of ninjitsu...but he is also very much a taijitsu user too...that's where kage bunshin comes in most handy.

Naruto's fighting style is close combat. Kage bunshin and rasengan are close combat. So its baically taijutsu and this will help him to polish his skills.
(We havent seen any new stuff from naruto in post-time)

Since Naruto seems to have the ability to fight smartly when given a chance, the taijutsu training with Gai should help him alot.

[chin sai]

3 kagebunshins run at kisame 2 turns to giant rasengan and from the back naruto odamas him
just gaining guys skillset puts naruto in a whole other leve

and don't forget extra, extra gay poses haaaaaaahahahaha

[MadTact]

We see that see in Naruto that Taijutsu is very important time and time again so if Naruto has a high level on the base level when he uses the Kyubi chakra the results should be great.

[chin sai]

that comment itachi made, makes me think that he was trained by guy or got his taijutsu from mimmicking him
so aninja who can use nin and fenjutsu trained by guy. oooooooooooo

[MadTact]

that comment itachi made, makes me think that he was trained by guy or got his taijutsu from mimmicking him


hmmmm, that doesnt sound right, thats quite an assumption there

[Miso]

You surely have a good point here. Only Jiraiya to some degree and Yamato are able to seal Naruto in his 4-tails-state.

But just let us discuss that hypothecially without considering that Naruto now has not the time to seriously train with Gai because of all the trouble at the moment (Akatsuki, finding Sasuke...).

Although Naruto uses both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu he is not an expert in both disciplines. It's the combination which makes Naruto strong as well as his monstrous chakra.

Giving Gai a chance to train Naruto would make Naruto much more stronger because he would be able to use most of his techniques better - like Kage Bunshin. Because every Bunshin would be stronger than before training with Gai and the technique would be more effective.

[MadTact]

thats true, he wouldnt have the time right now, and certainly would make his ability overall better as Miso said

[chin sai]

seriously he'd be as good as sasuke at taijutsu

[MadTact]

Sasuke is not that great he runs out of energy fast compared to Lee and Gai.Someone like naruto now, the results would be wow

[chin sai]

Sasuke is not that great he runs out of energy fast compared to Lee and Gai.Someone like naruto now, the results would be wow
yeah point is though he copied lee's taijutsu so he can fight as well as lee
sharingan rocks

[MadTact]

If Gai gave Naruto training imagine Naruto using Hirashin no Jutsu in fighting after the training.

[chin sai]

that would be freakin' in freakin' sane ma'an

[MadTact]

If Gai gave Naruto training imagine Naruto using Hirashin no Jutsu in fighting after the training.


Maybe i am pushing this but add rasengan with that XD

[Rampages]

He already knows the rasengan, unless I have a different version of Naruto ;)

[chin sai]

He already knows the rasengan, unless I have a different version of Naruto ;)
he meant my post plus using the rasengan with superb taijutsu

[BlackSun]

Ninjutsu isn't Gai's specialty, but he's not exactly weak with ninjutsu, and he noticed Naruto has some talent for ninjutsu and a lot of chakra, he would do his best to teach him, without ignoring Lee's training

[chin sai]

the best thing for lee and gai to do for training naruto is completely kick his ass until he could avoid, and attack at will

[MadTact]

Yes Naruto is a good fighter and gets interesting ideas during fights, would be good to develop him even further.

[pjoto]

In the 3rd Naruto-game for Ps2, you can choose Naruto with the Rock Lee Power-suit. And God damn Naruto rocks! (Funny as hell when he blasts someone into the sky with the Rasengan after a whicked combo, then sits down on his knees crying, waiting for a hug by Gai-sensei :) )

It's still Naruto, but with much more powerfull Tai-jutsus and combos. Funny as hell, and he even acts like Rock Lee.
I think it's a great advice, Naruto would be seriously powerfull. Also, using Tai-jutsu against Sasuke would make things allot easier, considering his Sharingan would just copy any Nin-jutsu used anyway.

[chin sai]

is body flickers activation too fast for the sharingan to copy, cuz it seems that whenever naru learns a jutsu, he uses it without thinking sort of instinctually, so that plus gai's training and ways of thinking. would be freakin insane

OMG I want that game...

The thing about Naruto fighting Sasuke with Taijutsu-- I agree totally! We've seen that Sasuke mainly focuses on taijutsu in battle too, to compensate for not having a mountain of chakra to use (like saving all of his chakra to use sharingan) So Naruto would need Gai's kind of taijutsu training to keep up with him. Let's not forget that Kakashi spent all that time working with Sasuke on Taijutsu so he could have speed like Lee.

I just want to see Naruto crying for Gai...LOLOL!

[MadTact]

Yes, i think this will also help him probably when the Kyuubi takes over, like maybe access to more power (and chakra)

[walkie]

if i were a ninja with unlimited chakra source (kyuubi), i would spend my time on devastating ninjutsus instead of taijutsu...for lee it took years to master taijutsu, so instead of training taijutsu for years, i would train ninjutsu for years

[chin sai]

off topic it's a shame no one copied kimimaru's tai jutsu,
i believe they were on par if not superior to lee's....ok injured lee

[MadTact]

If Sasuke is being trained by Oro, i am pretty certain he will get alot taijutsu training based on what we have seen Oro do in battles, so going to Gai wouldnt hurt him unless Jiraya gave him adequate training in that.

I dont quite agree.In that scenario u would probably lose to a taijutsu user because would you wouldnt be able to keep up with them.I think there must be some taijutsu, look at kisame we know he has powerful water jutsu but he is also strong.



off topic it's a shame no one copied kimimaru's tai jutsu,

Maybe Orochimaru taught him that stuff? i dunno

i am not saying just leave training taijutsu and train only ninjutsu..but i am saying that rather than mastering taijutsu i prefer mastering ninjutsu first..during training ninjutsu, you should also train taijustu, genjutsu too

like orochimaru...he is mastering about ninjutsu but do you think he is really bad or at low level at taijutsu??

[MadTact]

like orochimaru...he is mastering about ninjutsu but do you think he is really bad or at low level at taijutsu??

I get ya, but note that Oro has been mostly using taijutsu in the battles we have seen so far. I get what u are saying cause they are times in which ninjtsu are very important.

I still say if he trains with Gai his taijutsu will get better.

[husnimubarak]

yes.. taijutsu is suits naruto..
if someone not genious enough for making hand seals and genjutsus..
taijutsu is their way..

for me.. technique, speed, and power.. that would raise you to a great ninja..

[sakura_uchiha]

Naruto may have a chance to retreat sasuke and wear green spandex. XD

[OGunslinger]

it would be very intresting if naruto could get the kyubi to teach him jutsu... like kyubi jutsu.. that are super strong... like something that eats your chakra... or something ><

[neotheparticular]

why train with Gai if he can train with Tsunade instead!!![br]Posted on: October 02, 2006, 12:59:42 AM_________________________________________________come to think of it... trining taijutsu wuld require naruto years to master it... kage bunshin no jutsu will only ba applicable for ninjutsu's (with hand seals)beacuse Learning is necessary, while tajutsu will require physical training(speed, strength, agility and so)....

[Kratos]

it would be very intresting if naruto could get the kyubi to teach him jutsu... like kyubi jutsu.. that are super strong... like something that eats your chakra... or something ><

that would be pretty sweet. i beat Kishi will do this and make the Kyuubi to teach a jutsu.... lol imagin the kyuubi teaching naruto how to summon a mini Demon fox

[mars0103]

why why why why why why why why

[mageofdeath]

but it would take naruto a massive amount of time, to train with gai, thats why he's training with kakashi, because he doesn't have the time...

[OGunslinger]

i think naruto kakashi could teach taijutsu to naruto just as good as gai could seeing kakashi probably allready copied all gais movements... then naruto would just have to use his 1000+ kage bushin and train all day... then hes a taijutsu master...

also... naruto better learn a high speed movement for a rasengan combo because he will never hit sasuke/orochimaru with rasengan unless he traps them like kabuto.... and i dont think they would fall for that -_-

[sharinganLS]

Im sure Kakashi observed all of Gai's moves but that doesnt mean his body is able to do those moves (For example, Gai an open more Gates than Kakashi).

[Panda]

Well... Naruto jes has to open the Kyuubi gate!.... or not!

[sleepyshadows]

xD So that's what the new anime opening's all about... Naruto practicing Taijutsu and even kicking Rock Lee away.

:3

[deathshadow25]

I thought the kyuubi was disgusted with Naruto especially since Naruto rejected the Kyuubi giving Naruto power in his fight with Sasuke. also I'm pretty sure that the Kyuubi only helps Naruto due to the fact that if Naruto dies so does the Kyuubi.

[fremeer]

i dont think kyuubi hates or is digusted by naruto. He hates being stuck inside him more then actually hating naruto. He is too arrogant to have feelings about anything i think. Although he might start to respect naruto as the series goes on till naruto can use him as a summon :D

[jester065]

Going against what most people are saying.. you know that it would help him or make him better. I think it would hurt him because it would take away what makes naruto so strong.. and thats being unpredictable. Sure he isn't the best ninjutsu or taijutsu user but the fact he doesn't have one thing he has mastered and can look to when he is fighting makes him more dangerious. The fact your never sure what move he will use next or how he will use it is his biggest strenght and to master taijutsu would more than likely make him more of a taijutsu user and more predictable. An as for Naruto's speed lets see him fight before we judge what he needs to train on :p

[Yondaime Uzumaki]

I think he would be a master at taijutsu but he would suck at everything else.

[qwan3356]

yea but he would learn how to move fast, and as an upside he could make hand signs faster and things like that.

[Nodini]

A guy like Naruto and a teacher like gai... hahahaha

He probably would make moire noise than ever. And with that stamina of his, even gai "enjoy the youth" stuff wouldn´t stand a chance. but the snaps and the kyubi wouldn´t surely appear. like if naruto would care if neji died.. lol

[OP_overlord]

i would be so happy if he did this naruto could learn new combos and work on his speed so he could keep up with sasuke and more of gai is good hes funny

[mrcongojack]

I think it would be awesome if Naruto went to train with Gai, not right away though. Maybe if he went to train with Gai after the current arc. Just think about it: Naruto's insane chakra reserves mixed with the Chakra gates and the best taijutsu...

I can see it now: Naruto would use taiju kage bunshin, all of which would be as fast as Lee, zooming around with rasengans. Aww man that'd be awesome.

Yean and the move would be called something everyone will say is lame but secretly think its the best thing since sliced bread

like Naruto Rasengan barrage or Rasengen Final X

[mrcongojack]

Oh and I forgot to mention he'd probably wear that gai outfit he was given.

[Yondaime Uzumaki]

Oh and I forgot to mention he'd probably wear that gai outfit he was given.


OK, I do think Naruto wearing Gai's/Lee's outfit would be a good look.

[OP_overlord]

OK, I do think Naruto wearing Gai's/Lee's outfit would be a good look.

probable not but it would be funny and he wanted to before and he was not even going to go in for training with Gai so i think that its a possibility

but he would get so much stronger and faster it would help himi so much in his goal to gettingsasuke back and becomeing hokage so he should do it

[poopoomaru]

The thing is though that Gai's training isnt all that special. I mean that in a technical sense , not in a general sense. The biggest aspect of Gai's training is teaching determination and hard work, and through that sheer determination they force themselves to do WAYYYYYY over the top kind of physical excercises. Gai and Lee dont have some super secret method to being super fast , they are because they run 500 laps around all of Konohagakure wearing 100-500 pound weights. Naruto doesnt need to train with Gai to figure out how to just do ridiculous amounts of excercise.
Naruto is at the best place he could be training wise. Honestly aside from the relationship between Gai and Lee, and Kakashi and Sasuke the Jounin leaders of the old Genin squads did not seem to actually teach their students personally in any of the major jutsu that they use. Team Kurenai wasnt shelling out genjutsu after genjutsu, and Team Asuma made no use of chakra knifes ever until his death.

[starfall856]

naruto would probably be wearing a green jumpsuit right about now =p

[OP_overlord]

he could just as easily get the same trainging that sasuke got from kakashi to help him with speed cause that is what gai does work on taijutsu and kakashi is at the same level as him he just cant/dosent want to use the gates like gai does

[MagixRel]

I'd love to see a few chapters of Naruto just making tons of clones and spending a month or so with every jounin in the city then *poof* instant super ninja !

[OP_overlord]

that would be great and now that i think about it why doesnt he just make a 1000 clones strap 10 lbs to each leg run for like three days striaght and then boof go back together and make it be like he ran those three days with 20000 pounds on his legs after a few days in the hospital and some ramen he would be super fast

[ttxdragon]

that would be great and now that i think about it why doesnt he just make a 1000 clones strap 10 lbs to each leg run for like three days striaght and then boof go back together and make it be like he ran those three days with 20000 pounds on his legs after a few days in the hospital and some ramen he would be super fast

the clones transfer knowledge but not muscles.

training with gai could bring him some more speed, but he wouldn't have the time that lee spend on gaining the speed he has, thus i think it's impractical now... and i wouldn't want to see naruto in a green spandex *shivers*


(sorry that i havent read through all previous posts, so the above might've already been said...)

[OP_overlord]

yes it does i think
when he was training with kakashi it transfered knowlage and the brain is a muscle so it should work with your legs and it works with bruises to so it would dfinetly work believe it

[hmalik1003]

yea your rite. the brain is a muscle so imagine if he did go to evry jounin and lear a new jutsu. that would be crazy especially if they all individually learned one new jutsu so that would instanly make him know just as many jutsu as kakashi and imagine if in battle he created 1000 clones while he just stood back and watched every single one of his clones do the jutsu they learned. lol sexy no jutsu combined with summoning tsunades slug. what a mix

[OP_overlord]

it could work but i think on a smaller scale and after his runs he wouldnt be able to move an inch but he could still train his mind while in the hospital

if he was bed ridden would his clones still be or could they go learn more from kakashi will he was in the hospital, he could finsih his training with the new jutsu, and he could use it as much as he wanted cause he would be in the hospital already

[ZsychPrime]

The Kage Bunshin has much potential for abuse.

Although if Naruto just learned a fair number of normal jutsu instead of the accursed rasen-shuirken, I'd be much more pleased. He's bloody created his own version of a suicide attack(or will soon have).

At least a few clones should have focussed on learning other jutsu, or studying tactics.
Let him create a 1000 clones and have them just go out and discuss with jounins all of the fights they've had and what they did, so that he's aware of more of the jutsu that exist in the world and how they might be countered.
(Although its unlikely that he'll ever be defeated by a serious opponent in the manga... that extra time that it takes to think up a strategy that may or may not work, better utilized might make the difference between lif and death for a regular ninja)

[OP_overlord]

i dont think Oda would use the kakashi clone training like that because as you said naruto cant lose a real fight so it wouldnt matter.
but he should i agree with you he needs more than just that you strong jutsu.
after this arc i want naruto to do some serious training and learn alot for evenone he can use the clones or not i dont care (but i dont wanna just see him trying to perfect his new jutsu)

[hmalik1003]

i think the smartest thing 4 naruto at this moment is to go around learning new jutsu's, mainly because sasuke said orochimaru had nothing else to teach him and we know orochimaru knows ALOT of jutsus. i just want to level the playing field a bit

[OP_overlord]

yeah i hate how naruto comes into fights being the under dog by so much, make him a close under dog so that he doesnt have to use teh kyuubi within the first 3 min

[hmalik1003]

your rite. i want to see IMPROVEMENT. he barely showed n e thing in the manga(anime actually made him look alot stronger though). If he goes into a fite with sasuke knowing maybe 10 jutsus and lets not forget he cant use the kyuubi power(not that he wants too) then he will be slaughtered.

[OP_overlord]

he has to have a bunch and this clone training has opened up so many possibilties to get stronger lets see if he does anything about it
