Originally posted by NewGuy01Yeah, but we saw how powerful Gai was after breaking the Eighth Gate, and Naruto is above Gai in just about everything but Taijutsu.
Not sure; how much would breaking his body's limits really do? It would increase his personal power, but that power is already dwarfed by his external Biju/Senjutsu power anyway.
I wouldn't say it is "dwarfed". I wouldn't even put that power-up that far above the Eight Gates.
Originally posted by U need LeonardIt was Filler for the DBZ anime, but Goku used Kaioken and SSJ at the same time against Pikkon. (Yes, I know it's non-canon, but its an example, at least.)
Would the 8th Gate be an upgrade for him? Wouldn't Naruto at his max wield a power even greater than what the Gate of Death could offer? I would think Asura Naruto would be beyond the need of such a technique.This seems much like the Kaioken being useless when confronted with SSJ.
Anyway, something completely different, ANYONE with chakra can potentially access the Eight Gates, Naruto can unlock them and basically get what Gai got plus his already big Asura power boost.
It end up exactly the same as the canon match-up only this time Naruto might do more damage.
Even if we assume the Gate of Death gave Naruto more power than Kaguya, which in itself is a pretty big if considering she has the power of the Juubi + chakra from everyone in the world, he's still have no really way of putting her down.

Okay, but if his physical power is increased, then it means he can layer his chakra on top of it, to make it even stronger. Basically imagine if Naruto went around using Evening elephant from every punch, but could still use his jutsu and Asura abilities.
The 8th gates are a buff that max out your chakra usage, and turn it into physical power. Naruto's chakra is already super high, especially in Asura mode, but who's to say that means it can't go higher?
I'm sure the buff's stack. 👆

Uh, Kaguya's regen hasn't shown any feats putting it above Jyuubidara's. The only difference between the two is that Kaguya is more powerful than any single person in the series. That's the reason she has only been defeated by sealing techniques, not because she is immortal.
She would be killed, if 8th gates Naruto beat her past regenerating, and then vaporized her.
Apparently Naruto has a new transformation in Boruto that will answer this as it will supposedly kill him to use and it is effectively the same thing as the eight gate (Go past physical limits/Use all his Chakra at 100%)
On topic though Naruto seemed to be written down against her especially with what we saw him do to a massively amped Sasuke and especially in the End wrap up movie, he should put his toeless boot up her ass fairly easily.

Originally posted by Henry_PymNot exactly. The gates push you FAR past your limits in pretty much every way, that's why it usually costs you your life and/or serious injury.
He literally stated it allows him to use all his power at once, which sounds exactly like the gates.
Using all your power at once wouldn't necessarily kill a Naruto character.
