@shishiHeiwa the speed itself isn't what obliterates him its the forced power up of the gates destroying his body. So even if he stood still and did nothing during the activation of the eighth gate he would still crumble.

@Loneninja Once again, the actual number doesn't matter because they both move at similar speeds. But if gai is so fast that sasuke wouldn't be able to think at all, how did madara manage to think 'His speed is bending space' or w/e he said? He managed to keep with sasuke during their attacks to gauge each other strength. But when sasuke blitzed him at (I would assume was) his full speed he sliced a madara who was running away in half without him being able to react, so that feat puts his and gai's in the same league. I'll throw you a bone and say that gai is faster, but even then he's not faster enough to outright blitz sasuke which would allow him time to react, and all sasuke needs is any amount of time. Alright, night gai is undodgeable, being undodgeable doesn't mean un-counterable. On the same line of assumption that gai is faster, that would mean that his last attack can't be dodged with pure speed, granted, but since sasuke will have enough time to think or take some sort of action, he could counter it. One example would be to run away from the attack long enough to toss a kunai with amaterasu away from him and use his Amenotejikara to switch places with it right as gai is about to hit. Or hell, he could even switch places with gai straightup. This wouldn't do much, but it would throw off the momentum of his attack, which would be the end of the fight since it's essentially a one time use move
