I'd say sasuke wins, and here's why. When madara is fighting guy, in one of the translations I read he decided to only battle with taijutsu(When I re-read it wasnt the same wording so I dont know how accurate this was) but i never saw him use anything other than taijutsu or his gudoudama so it might've been accurate. So madara just barely loses (the only reason he lives is because of his healing abilities, so imma count it as a loss) to an eight gate guy when he's only using his own taijutsu. Now if that was an inaccurate start point than ignore it, cause its not the make or break point anyways. The next one is that sasuke's rinnegan teleportation is faster than any move gai is using. I say this because when madara is fighting gai he does have time to be surprised by his speed, where as with sasuke's teleportation he doesnt know what hit him until it was too late. As a note, sasuke also blitzed madara who was implied to be moving at full speed or close to it when he's going to get his other rinnegan, so I'd be willing to bet that sasuke is just as fast as gai. sasuke's rinnegan obviously has all the abilities of the rinnegan, so with him being equal speed, He could use something like a shinra tensei to halt gai in his tracks, or atleast slow him down, and when he's slowed attack him. Or he would be able to do something very sasuke ish as throw a kunai then set it ablaze with amaterasu, gai would dodge it, but right when gai was abut to hit sasuke he would change places with the flaming kunai and send it right through gai, which would allow his to use kagatsuchi to manipulate the amaterasu, or even if he didnt do that the hit would leave him open to counter attack. Ultimately what eight gates gai has is pure strength and speed, comparable to madara's, but sasuke is just as fast, stronger(Not physically, but in the sense that he has access to a much wider variety of moves), smarter,and his teleportation is instantaneously faster than gai. And to reply to things I in other comments, I read something about battle experience difference and if anything I think sasuke has more, even though he's younger. He was implied to have killed roughly 1000 ninja at once while he was training with orochimaru (The scene is shown in the manga, but the number comes from the anime) and while he probably doesnt have as many fodder ninja kills, his big battles are more numerous including danzo, the kage, killer bee, itachi, deidara, orochimaru, kabuto. And as for his his naruto fight,this is implying the abilities beforehand, him and naruto are both severely weakened in that fight, so while it may be cool, and their strength feats are countable, their lack of feats isnt neccesarily a downside. Plus it might not work the same against naruto because he is a sensor type with the sages and the tailed beasts chakra, and his reaction time is the same as sasuke's so it wouldnt've been a game winner even if he couldve used it in that fight. TL;DR sasuke wins
