@Rachin

yes. i agree that Naruto will be hurt from Morning Peacock. at distance, Naruto will mostly avoid all, but close range will be the most damaging for Naruto.

but the thing you keep in game is that Gai somehow will remain harmless from Frog Kata. Frog Kata also packs a hell of a punch. the range of Frog Kata is greater than his arm. naruto will attack Gai with it as he did with the Pein Path instead of trying to clash fists with Gai. Gai does not have the durability to withstand it harmless. he will be thrown around. he may survive (but given how his body is deteoriating from the Gates, the attack will do hell of a damage.)

You say Gai isnt reckless... Gai is taijutsu user. he attacks on close quarter. apart from Morning Peacock and Hirudora he has no long range attacks. being close quarters he has to accept that he can be within the range of enemy's jutsu as similarly as he gets in their range.

Gai is always in the danger of getting hit by the Rasengan.

how is Gai going to avoid Rasengan at point blank range like it was used on Raikage? gai doesnt have the speed nor reaction time of Raikage. Gai will probably keep his distance to avoid being hit by Rasengan. i dont think he would try to punch a Rasengan with his speed attacks, that would actually hurt him.

the key here in this battle is Kage Bunshin.... all Naruto needs are Kage Bunshin on his sides. and he has shown to make them in an instant by war time. all is needed is a little bit seperation and that can be achieved by Frog Kata, blasting Gai away. naruto can make three clones or an army of them. from there on he has access to all his attacks.

Naruto has also shown that he can create Rasengan and variants and Rasenshuriken really fast.

when Obito first came to talk to Naruto at the Gokage Summit, Naruto attacked him in an instant with a Rasengan, surprising even Obito. his intangibility saved him from getting hit. in this moment base Naruto instantly (in a very short period) created Kage Bunshin and formed a Rasengan and attacked,

yes. Kakashi too survived SHinra Tensei, but his state was near dead. how can that compare to Naruto surviving without damage? again the one upfront was the main Naruto. he took the whole attack on. he wasnt using any counter force to negate it like 6tail Naruto did. the clones kept him rooted in place and to an extent reduced the force.
