Actually, there is difference:


 * Using Eight Gates means that you're opening these special tenketsu that limits flow of chakra within your body. You don't need ninjutsu to open them, or otherwise Lee wouldn't be capable of using them.


 * Nintaijutsu, on the other hand, requires actual ninjutsu, as seen with both third and fourth Raikage as they surround themselves with Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
