that depends. in the boruto movie naruto was far faster than 8 gates Gai. hell before boruto when naruto was revived he was so fast that madara was absolutely unable to react. where in when he was fighting Gai in 8 gate he was actually able to react. that entire time when he was fighting gai he was playing around a bit. sure when gai used the night elephant to block from all directions madara was unable to move but i believe that madara just wanted to know what it felt like to get hit by a few 8 gate strikes.

and there is no way that Gai would have been able to break through the truth seeking ball if kakashi hadn't kamui's part of it away. the truth seeking balls are not just durable they vaporize anything they touch on a level higher than dust release. and there is absolutely no way that gai would break through dust release. madara was able to touch the truth seeking balls so all the force of gai's kick traveled through madara into the truth seeking ball. he kicked with enough force to destroy the truth seeking balls but had kakashi not kamui's a hole into it he wouldn't have been able to break the ball because the ball would have vaporized his leg
