Yea but.. not every shinobi has access to 8 gates because it's a secret technique known only to 2 or so ninja. And all they have to do to obtain it is train. it doesn't require intellect or natural strength.

Besides, i don't see why the series has to be "fair", since it's been pretty much a point from the start that life's not fair. Hard work pays off, sure, but talent+ hard work beats hard work alone. And natural ability/power + hard work + talent is godlike.

I mean, hashirama and Madara both had KKG, were very talented, and trained and fought relentlessly and became gods. And while Lee worked hard, he couldn't beat someone like Gaara who had immense power AND talent. And Naruto fought Neji's talent and hard work with raw power and hard work.
